     Okay, gimme a hand here.
     My friend who owns a dinosaur (read: Tandy 1000 IBM compatible) is doing
cartwheels over Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0, and I'm downright jealous.
Okay, the graphics are just adequate, but they're FAST, SMOOTH, and REALISTIC!
The program itself is so incredible, it even has traffic in the air with you
(other planes, HOT AIR BALLOONS!) and even BOATS ON THE WATER!!!  Now you want
attention to detail, he spotted a sailboat while I was watching, and wend into
slew mode to follow it, and (being that he is a sailing fanatic) was elated
to discover that when the boat was trying to go upwind, it TACKED REALISTICLY!
Now THAT is impressive.
     In short, I WANT IT FOR MY AMIGA!!!!  I have a feeling it isn't available,
but I've seen Flight Simulator 2.0 (not nearly as good) for Amiga, and I'd
pay to see a GOOD conversion of 4.0.  Is there such a beast?  Microsoft, are
you planning it at all?  Thanks for the help!
