Alpha makes PC World's TipWorld's New Product Gossip of the Day, again.

FLYING AT 40,000 FEET

"...Your Watery Wayfarer is one crustacean who loves to flap his claws and fly whenever possible. Just so long as they are not serving crab in First Class. Ouch! Crustaceous cannibalism! Yuck!

In fact, Crusty would love to up his own flying certificate to include multiengine jumbo jets. But since he does not have a spare $200 grand to take the lessons and build the hours behind the yoke, he'll have to settle for the next best thing to flying that 747--Alpha Software's 747 Jumbo Jet simulator. (It's also much less likely to have a sparked fuel tank go boom and ruin his day.) 747 Jumbo Jet is a full-featured add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator 98. The Alphas tell Baron von Crustofen that the
software "was developed by a veteran Lufthansa 747 pilot, endorsed by Boeing, Lufthansa, and United, and replicates the full cycle of flight, from first throttle to pulling up to arrival gates at foreign airports. You can even maneuver through high winds and thunderstorms and simulate an emergency landing." The realism, they say, is "stunning." Except for that fuel tank thing..."
