Sadly, some people try to switch out discs, or steal manuals and they will have a police report filed in their town as well as mail fraud charges.

It includes the ability to load additional scenery from floppy disks.[15]Reception[edit]InfoWorld in 1984 praised Flight Simulator II for the Apple as "a complicated but exhilarating game ... Bruce Artwick has really done it all", and stated that it was superior to Microsoft's version.[16] InfoWorld's Essential Guide to Atari Computers recommended the game as the best flight simulator for the Atari 8-bit, stating that "If you become a pro", players are "well on your way to understanding how powered flight actually feels".[17]Roy Wagner reviewed and compared Solo Flight and Flight Simulator II for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "This program is outstanding and certainly one of the best examples of excellent programming, documentation, and a full use of the capabilities of a microcomputer."[18]II Computing listed it ninth on the magazine's list of top Apple II games as of late 1985, based on sales and market-share data,[19] and it was Sublogic's best-selling Commodore game as of late 1987.[20]In 1996, Computer Gaming World declared Flight Simulator II the 79th-best computer game ever released.[21] If you have any questions please message me, I am a small time seller and will almost always respond the same day if not within a couple of hours.
