Schiratti Commander is an add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator. It includes one airplane, the DC9-30 and airports for the cities of New Delhi and Budapest, however these are incidentals as the main purpose of this product is the utility set it provides. With this product the player can:* view all the installed scenery libraries and starting from a global perspective they can zoom right down to view individual airports.

In 1997, the product was updated to 'Schiratti Commander Gold', which was also compatible with MS-Flight Simulator for Windows 95, retaining most features of the earlier version 1.0, except for the multi-PC connection feature which did not work anymore.

The 'Gold' version also included 100 new objects to use in the design tool.

A Gold upgrade was freely available as a downsized download (lacking the 100 extra objects, and upgraded New Delhi & Budapest scenery) to registered owners of the v1.0 release, or as an orderable full CD upgrade, including the new design objects and scenery.
