I was playing a game in the 1980's but I don't remember the name of it anymore. I also don't remember if it was PC game or some Sinclair Spectrum game, but probably a PC game.

There was either a helicopter or a flying saucer you had to control. This ship then had to fly and land on different platforms and pick up people walking into the ship.

If anyone remember the name, please tell. I would like to find this game and try it.

I also remember I was using Create with on PC. Would also like to find this program somewhere.

The Space Taxi looks most like the game I can remember, but according to Wikipedia it's a C64 game and I have never used any C64. Maybe there was some PC clone made?

Probably not Sky Runner then, but that's the only DOS game I know of where you pilot a flying saucer. Looks like there was a Spectrum port too.

Yes, would be my guess as well, in the later levels you need to defend yourself from UFO like craft.
