Fighter Pilot

Digital Integration has made simulations the speciality of the house, so you'd expect this one to be good.

Another realtime simulation, the performance of the program is supposed to simulate an American FI5 Fighter.

Starting options include practice and full combat modes - and if you're feeling really lucky, you can try flying in fog (blind landing) or choose cross winds and turbulence to add a little spice to the proceedings.

Apart from that, this is a no frills, straightforward simulator, which has obviously had a great deal of research and detail put into the programming.

Surprisingly enough, the only weapon system available to the pilot is straightforward cannon fire. This only goes to emphasise that, if anything, this is more a flight than a full blown combat simulation.

Controls are not overly complex, but very responsive, and I was impressed by the feel of the thing.

In Brief

  1. mulators don't come more workmanlike than this.
