Micro Flight

Micro Flight is a flight simulator in which players can fly with various types of air machines belonging to the "ultra-light" type. - Among the available ones there is a hang-glider, motor glider, helicopter, parachute, balloon or airship. Unlike other flight simulators, the Micro Flight realistically captures various types of micrometeorological phenomena, small air movements just above the ground surface and specific thermal effects (e.g. thermal chimneys) caused by the intense action of the Sun. Thanks to this, the program perfectly simulates the work of various types of parachutes and gliders. Micro Flight works in a three-dimensional environment and not only when it comes to flight physics. Even the devices in the cockpit of a given machine are not operated with the keys, but with the use of a mouse you should point on the screen and "run" the given switch. The applied terrain display model has been optimized in such a way as to achieve a smooth display speed even when processing high quality images.

With the editor, you can create even extensive locations yourself, using high-quality aerial photographs and digital terrain data. In addition, the program has the ability to record the flight progress and its subsequent analysis, as well as to export these data in digital form. In addition to solo flying, you can also choose the team flight option, during which users of the program fly together, communicate with each other.

The first version of Micro Flight was released in 2000 and since then this simulator has been constantly developed and upgraded (in 2004 version 5.0 was already available).
