Hi,

I'm trying to remember an old DOS game I played back in the late 80s or early 90s. I remember that you were controlling this shuttle (or was it a jet?) and you were always about to land. I think you could use the arrow keys to pan around the shuttle view - which was quite large. Using the panning view, I remember you could adjust various settings for the jet or shuttle or whatever it was. Does anybody know which game I'm talking about?

Could it be "Precision Approach"? That's a bit more recent, though (1995).

There was a game called Shuttle I remember vaguely but it had a very steep learning curve

There is that, but it's not "always about to land". I remember another game very much like "Precision Approach" and possibly a bit older, but don't recall the title and I don't wanna look it up.
