hi Jim.
that's actually something I like in Zero sight. No, flights don't take
hours, but you set the heading and sometimes have to wait a longer period of
time than in most games, a good five minutes or so on some occasions before
you get to where your going, however even whilst your doing that, you have
to stay alert in case you run into any nasties.
Beware the grue!

Hi Thomas,
Yes, Puppy 1 is a game and not a flight simulation program. The only
thing that is real about it is that all of the planes and each bullet do
have an x, y and z coordinate that are up dated about 20 times per second.
If I could write a real flight simulation program I would want to use real
longitude, latitude and altitude coordinates. You know like maybe start
out at the correct longitude, latitude and altitude coordinates of the
Cleveland Hopkins International airport. Then be able to fly to and land
at Burk Lakefront airport. And then maybe fly to the Cuyahauga airport.
And then back to the Cleveland Hopkins International airport. But to fly
say from the Cleveland Hopkins International airport to say L.A.X. would
just be boring. One would just take off, gain altitude, set a heading and
let the plane fly for hours and hours, until you got near L.A.X. I did
really enjoy the Microsoft flight simulation program when I still had a
tiny bit of sight. It even allowed me to set longitude, latitude and
altitude coordinates. And soon I was flying around the Brooklyn bridge,
the Statue of Liberty and even the Twin Towers.
BTW My Dad's life long hobby was building and flying remote control gas
powered model airplanes. Most were built from kits that you buy, but he
did at one point start designing and building his own planes. The first
was a biplane and was named Puppy 1. Puppy 2 was also a biplane, but
puppy 3 was not. I myself have always been more into gas or electric
powered remote control cars, trucks and all terrain vehicles. I have ten
of them.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
