Microsoft Flight Simulator is a series of flight simulator programs for MS-DOS, Classic Mac OS, and Microsoft Windows operating systems.It was an early product in the Microsoft application portfolio and differed significantly from Microsoft's other software, which was largely business-oriented.
Flight Assignment: A.T.P. (Airline Transport Pilot or simply ATP) was an amateur flight simulator released in 1990 by the Sublogic Corporation. It runs on DOS based PCs. The simulation models the Boeing 737, 747, 767, Airbus A320 and Shorts 360. It features most major aviation beacons in the United States and about 30 major airports.
For the first few major civilian lessons (taking off, turning, etc.), the player controls a Cessna light aircraft, but after completion of the first lessons, moves on to control a Global Express business jet and a Boeing 747. The military lessons do not involve the basic skills of flying, instead they focus on weapon control. [1]
