Field notes
The homepage lays out a flight setup in three stages: select an aircraft, choose a location or a currently flying aircraft, then set the time and weather. Its fleet list ranges from a Cessna 172 and Cirrus SR22 to an A380, F-16, and sailplane. The page also describes two graphics modes and says the simulator selects one for the computer; these are site claims, not independently tested capabilities.
