hi, yes, it could be boring, ... to some. and yes, pilots don't have a
lot of things to do during the flight usually, but they are there to
keep an eye on things. and you could set up a sim to randomly throw
things at you to deal with during the flight. so an hour in to the
flight, you might have and elecrical alarm go off, and you have to
decide if your going to just ignore it, and keep flying, or land to have
it checked out, in which case, you will have to divert, and reset your
flight plans.
also, it might be boring to some, but some, like myself, would actually
enjoy this kind of game.
also, if its realisticly based, perhaps even drawing info from real
world weather like fs flight sims can, this could make things
interesting during a flight to.
such as having to divert around a storm cell, divert ot a new airport
nearby if the runway is unusable at your destination, and many many
other things that a real pilot has to deal with.

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.
