I would not be too suprised!!
In that this would not be the first flight sim to simulate the SS minnow!
microprose pacific air war 1942 (PAW) had an 'extra' island out in the pacific map.. And if you flew close to it.. You would start reciving radio message (text) from the 'folks' living on that island! Get closer and you could see the ship and people sitting on the beach
It was a great sim.. One of if not the first PC game to impliment a true 6DOF flight model.. Though it was fixxed point math and not floating point.. It was still far better than the other sims at that time (AOTP, AOE, RB, CYAR, SWOTL, etc).. It was also the sim that lead the way to microprose european air war (EAW)
