Hot on the heels of the launch of Mirrorsoft's Strike Force Harrier came Database Software's Red Arrows, which offers aspiring pilots the chance to participate in a demanding Red Arrows air display.

According to the authors, the program was developed with the help and advice of the members of the RAF Red Arrows team.

Demonstration mode gives you some idea of what is going on, then there is a chance to practise the four main manoeuvres - the Big Nine Loop, Pyramid Roll, Eagle/Manhattan Loop, Viggen Flypast and Concorde Flypast.

The graphics are adequate and the game generally requires skill, time and, above all, patience. After a time I began to find the game limited in scope, lacking the excitement and adventure of Strike Force Harrier in which you fly harrowing wartime missions.

But it should keep the dedicated flight simulation enthusiast absorbed.
