" Airfix Dogfighter is a fun, simple and action based flight simulator with model aeroplanes. The scenery is a large house where all of the family has gone away, all but you. You take the roll of prank loving, imaginative, “Home Alone” kind of kid, roaming around with your self-made aeroplane, pretending to be a fighter pilot of the World War II. As the reality changes into “true” scenarios the house and it’s interior comes alive, giving opportunity for inspiring battlegrounds and action packed mission such as dogfights, bomb raids and furious multiplayer games.
Airfix Dogfighter also let you create your own houses and areas for multiplayer games, with the House Editor, which is included with the game. The Paint Editor allows you to paint your own terrifying symbols to place on your plane "

I DIDN'T MAKE THESE
Set is substantially complete, but lacks
at least 1 precision select pointer.
NOTE :
The only proper cursor in the gameis that green arrow, used to navigate menus.
Sadly, I had to take artistic license
& commit SFDP* for the sake of a usable set.
*SFDP : Step From Development Practice,
expression used to suggest deviation from
the patterns laid by the developers.
Diagonals are a clumsy edit of the arrow,
& everythong else comes from other in-game assets
[except the smiley, that one comes from the old,
long-since-archived Airfix Dogfighter promo site
(although the screenshots there suggest it might've been
a multiplayer sticker used by at least one developer)
Summary of the pointers here presented :
Normal - The actual ingame cursor ;
WiB & busy- "Speed" icon from plane stats & website smiley button. The earlier was animated by mirroring the blades ;
Calligraphy - Sticker editor pencil&brush nuttons
Precision+ etc. - MG, 2ndary wpn &/or bomb sights
No,Unªvªil,Disªllºwd - End-mission friendlykills, crash & weapon unlock icons
Diagonals - Riffs on the normal arrow
Horiz&verti - Edits of the house editor arrow buttons
Move - House editor map button
Link - Sticker editor hand button(aka place sticker preview)
