About Solo Flight
There is no autopilot here, no computer-aided navigation. This is old-school dial-based flight instrumentation, which will challenge your skills when bad weather takes away the horizon and prominent landmarks. You will need to rely on VOR navigation -- short-wave radio signals from ground-based stations and airports -- to guide your plane to its destination.
To give pilots in Solo Flight a sense of purpose, Meier created a game mode called Mail Pilot. Your task is to deliver mail bags to regional airports in the least amount of time. Loading up on fuel and cargo will increase your score, but it will also slow you down and increase the difficulty of flying. Deteriorating weather and mechanical emergencies add unexpected challenges. You are also graded on your piloting skills, so your score will be impacted by how well you land. Did you come in too fast? Did you stall? Turn too sharply on the ground or taxi off of the runway?

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I’ve never played this before, and honestly I only bought it because it currently holds the title of the oldest game on Steam. That alone made it a cool addition to my collection. After launching it for a bit, it’s definitely a fascinating piece of gaming history! It's like a museum piece haha https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3719900753 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=371962226813 found this helpful
The most oldest release on steam got my interest, but there was more reading than gaming. Still kinda like this experience.6 found this helpful
Solo Flight, developed by MicroProse and released in 1983, stands as a pioneering title in the realm of flight simulation games. Designed by Sid Meier, the game offers players an early yet immersive experience of piloting a small aircraft across various terrains. Set in the early 1980s, it was among the first to present a realistic flight simulation without venturing into combat scenarios. Instead, it focused on the intricacies of navigation, weather conditions, and the challenges of general aviation. The game's primary mode, "Mail Pilot," tasks players with delivering mail bags to regional airports within a specified time frame. This objective-driven gameplay introduces a sense of purpose and urgency, distinguishing it from other flight simulators of the era. Players must manage fuel, navigate using VOR (Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range) signals, and adapt to changing weather conditions, all while ensuring timely deliveries. The inclusion of mechanical failures and instrument malfunctions further adds layers of complexity, requiring players to be adept not only in flying but also in troubleshooting and problem-solving under pressure. Graphically, Solo Flight utilizes a …5 found this helpful
Solo Flight is this game from 1983 where you fly a plane and deliver mail — yeah, thrilling stuff. It’s actually kinda cool though.4 found this helpful
Very Realistic.2 found this helpful
Is simple but nice. One of the earliest first-person flight sims. No missions, no hand-holding, no instructions, just flying by and trying not to crash. Feels old, but it’s impressive for its time and fun if you like retro games.2 found this helpful
