From the EDITOR..
In this issue, we are beginning a new mini-series on building your own Flight Simulator panels… of the software kind. Peter Stark shows you how you can build and modify your very own sim panel, beginning this issue, in what will likely be a three part series. Be sure to check it out!
If that is not your idea of fun, perhaps a challenging adventure to the North Pole might suit better? Peter Dodds made some interesting discoveries during his simulated trek to compile his story for you this issue, and it’s certainly worth a read. For the combat simmers, we have the full review of Battle of Britain II: Wings of Victory, developed by Shockwave productions inc, and published by GMX Media, and all of this is just scratching the surface of the content we have for you this time around!
So sit back, relax and enjoy exploring the August issue of Computer Pilot Magazine.
