Polygon Flight Mac OS

Operating Systems Macintosh, Mac OS X 10.9, Mac OS X 10.6, Mac OS X 10.10, Mac OS X 10.8, Mac OS X 10.7. Additional Requirements PolyGlot requires Java 1.6 or higher. This was initially released as a stand-alone game on both the Mac and PC, and was later re-released on the Mac as a true VBE plug-in. VBE was replaced by a much simpler system, OpenPlane, that allowed all of the customization to be carried out in resource files with no coding or compiling required. It means, you are missing the icu4c library. Many OS do not provide full support for Unicode and standards-compliant text handling services and as we are. Most flat-shaded 3D video games were released between 1988 and 1996. These games rendered with untextured polygons peaked around 1992-1993. Many of the early games utilizing solid 3D shading were flight simulators. With the introduction of Playstation in 1994, texture mapping became the norm, and by 1996, faceted polygons had all but vanished.

Description of Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Simulator

This is the first version of Edward 'Ned' Lerner's Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer, a popular non-military flight sim. The game lets you test pilot 14 different airplanes in different modes: racing, formation flying, and stunt flying to name a few. Although it is naturally graphically primitive compared to version 2.0, AFT makes the best out of a 4-color CGA pallete, producing crisp polygon-based buildings and terrain. The game has numerous helpful features that set the standard for the genre, including the 'black box recorder' used to replay your flights, multiple viewpoints, Chuck Yeager's sage advice during flight, and many more. Each plane has its own characteristics and flight dynamics that you need to handle correctly to succeed, and the game keeps a detailed record of your progress.

Overall, AFT is definitely one of the early pioneers in the niche genre of civilian flight sims, although since Version 2.0 (also on this site) surpasses it in every way, this early version is recommended for its nostalgic/historical value only.

RIP Chuck. Loved that game back in the day.

I ripped the wings off so many planes on this game. Despite the rudimentary graphics, it was ridiculous how much better this was than flight games on NES.

I remember you could switch planes in mid flight. I would take the SR-71 up into the stratosphere then I would switch to the Sopwith Camel. Your wings would rip off and sometimes you would fly off into space. But sometimes you would just fall to earth out of control. If the plane was pitching correctly and falling ass first towards the ground, 'and if you timed it right', you could switch to the X-15 moments before smacking the ground and rocket off again. It was great to see in replay because you plane would be falling to earth would switch to the X-15 and then as the engines kicked in it would slow down, pause in a hover just above the ground, then take off like a bat out of hell! Very satisfying if you can get it just right.

cool

...This one was wild in that you could tweak every available plane so that even a prop job could break Mach 3. And that's even if the wings ripped off. His Combat Sim was more fun - line up 15 B-29s, pretend they're Jap bombers, and send an F-4 fully loaded against the squadron. 'Remember Pearl Harbor!' was never more fun :)

I played the Mac OS version of this game. It is extremely enticing :)

Was a very addictive game in it's time. Endless practice and the ability to go in space made it one of my favorites.
