A lot of fun

This is a basic flight simulator application, not many dials and gauges but that leaves lots of room for the detailed simulation screen. Like the other reviewer, I too crashed my plane after three minutes (its a talent). Recovery is straight forward; just press the reset button (looks like a rewind to start) and you are back to where you started. Ive had no problems in restarting or recovering from my lack of flying prowess.
The planes are easy to control and a lot of fun to fly around (into) obstacles both in the air and on the ground. The different planes are quite diverse in terms of flying characteristics. I really liked the free-view mode on the display so I can look around as I am flying, as well as being able to change the view during playback.
Nice to have:
1. an altimeter since it is otherwise a bit of a challenge to determine your height from the ground.
2. more island (or islands) to fly over would be nice
3. an overview map of the island
4. more planes
Overall, a simple, basic flight simulator with excellent graphics and a lot of fun to fly.
