Synopsis & Project Status

Palomino is an open-source flight simulator.

For advanced users who know how to compile programs (mainly on UNIX).
Has only two basic missions: land-on-carrier and destroy-SAM.
Game-mode was never completed (no air-to-air combat, sorry).

This open-source version of Palomino is being maintained,
but author is focusing on a new commercial flight simulator game.
