Solo Flight is a third-person flight simulator written by Sid Meier for Atari 8-bit computers and published by MicroProse in 1983. It includes a game mode called Mail Pilot. This was the fourth flight simulator Meier wrote for MicroProse—following Hellcat Ace, Spitfire Ace, and Wingman—and the first which did not involve aerial combat.

In the UK, Solo Flight was published by U.S. Gold. It was ported to the Apple II, Commodore 64, and later IBM PC compatibles. A version for Thomson computers was published in 1985 by FIL in France with the title Vol Solo. A Second Edition of the game was released in 1985 with improved graphics and an instructor. A Mega Drive version was planned but never released.

Controls

This is a PC game: it uses the keyboard the way it did under MS-DOS, and the mouse where the game supports it. Click the game screen first so it gets your key presses.

Many DOS games start with a menu or ask a question first — read the screen and answer with the keyboard. Arrow keys, Enter, Space, Ctrl and Alt are the usual game keys.
