"Flight Unlimited" Tools

Posted by Gideon Pertzov

"Flight Unlimited III" (FU3) is a flight simulator developed by "Looking Glass Studios".
(The same company that brought us SystemShock and the Thief series)

I've created several utilities which are used by the FU3 community
To modify the FU3 resource files and for creating new aircraft.

Also featured in "Computer Pilot Magazine" (Vol 6. Issue 1)
