You're in full control of an F15 Eagle fighter and under your command it will take-off, land, shoot it out with an enemy aircraft and even cope with weather hazards - if you can.

There are three types of mission - landing practice, flight training and combat. Combat can also be done in practice mode and on all missions the additional hazards of blind landing, crosswinds and turbulence can be introduced.

The display is of the view through the cockpit with an instrument panel below. On this is indicated all the information on your speed, height radar, computer, thrust, fuel roll, pitch, flaps, undercarriage and ammunition. The sky is blue, the ground is green and the only other things that will appear are enemy aircraft and the four runways that are positioned on the map.

Fighter Pilot

Flying, fighting and landing take some practice but once you've got the hang of it the large wraparound flying area gives you plenty of airspace to fly in.

Good News

1. Good instrumentation. 2. Rapid display update. 3. Combat mode where you can shoot enemy planes.

Bad News

1. No landmarks. 2. May pale when you've sussed the combat flying.
