Well Yes, Thank you for your support, I already did find it :) It seems that there were at least two games that had the same name, and most of the nostalgia buffs around the net had happily mixed (at least these Two) games... the box cover that showed a DC-3 and a Concorde was *of the correct game*, but the youtube video and most screenshots were from a completely another game, most likely one of those Basic-code games that you would have to type from a gaming magazine... This page shows the game proper, which I was talking about: http://ready64.it/giochi/scheda_gioco/id/2469/high-flyer Basic premise is that it is year 1945, war is over and you have very little money. You start by purchasing a surplus DC-3 and make a trip from London to Amsterdam. Then another. Then buy another DC-3. Et Cetera :)
