Editions

Flight Sim Toolkit was a unique concept, putting creative power in the hands of the flight sim enthusiast. The graphics engine was similar to their SVGA Harrier Assault (1992), one of the first SVGA sims. You could even insert your own navaids and customisable cockpits. You could create your own from scratch or use beautifully rendered templates and insert your own dials and gauges.
