It flies about as well as the Outer Wilds autopilot (famous for crashing into the sun because the sun is often between you and where you're going), if there's a building between you and the airport, it's going to fly into the building. But I used to land this way all the time, it can do the hard bit if you have an otherwise reasonable path to landing.

We used to play this on the notionally IBM PC compatible machines on a Netware LAN in the "Computer Science" laboratory as opposed to the BBC Micros w/ Econet in the "Electronics" laboratory at school, or later the actual PC compatible (as in, running Windows) LAN Manager network in the library.

In the BBC lab we'd play a LAN MUD about a sort of grim future world that was built by pupils older than me (out of hours I'm told Elite was played but I never saw that), in the CS lab we'd play either a very violent fantasy RPG MUD also home grown, or Sopwith and in the Library games were banned but we had some weird stuff inspired by a mix of teletext and BBS that I built, and an IRC-type setup again built by me written in some mix of QuickBASIC and pre-standard C++.
