You may (if you don't already know) be wondering to yourself "What is YSflight, anyway?" Well . . .

   YSflight is a freeware flight simulator created by Soji Yamakawa. It allows you to choose from about 40 different pre installed aircraft, ranging from the F-16 Fighting Falcon to the Concord SST. You can dogfight AI aircraft, bomb enemy facilities, perform dazziling airobatics, or just simply fly around. There are also thousands of add-ons abaliable online, with aircraft, scenery, missions, and other things that add to the YSF experiance.

   YSF is also multiplayer. This means you can log on to a server and play around with your friends online. There are also Fighter Squads, Airobatic Squads, and also Virtual Airlines that you can join, whichever one is your main interest.

   The best part about YSF: it's FREE! YSF is always in constant development and new versions come out twice a year, with new features every time. It is also pretty small in size and doesn't come with all the extra unneeded junk that a lot of other flight sims do.
