Description
A homemade flight simulator for Windows 95 and 98, written by Mina Hayes in 2000.
Provenance
Sent to Lazarus by post, with a note asking whether anything could be saved. The dye layer had begun to fail at the outer edge; the last sectors came from a second read in a different drive. All of the work survives. The repairs are listed in the record’s damage map.
