The program runs in 100% machine code and is compatible with all the major joysticks. At the moment it's in a class of its own... and I reckon it'll take some beating. Read Review
After playing around with Fighter Pilot for about ten minutes, I realised that it would take a considerable length of time to become reasonably proficient at the game. I was also surprised at how addictive a flight simulation could be. Read Review
A competent and complex flight sim. Read Review
What works well is that the instruments respond very well with quite a lot of fine-tuning possible. I'm no pilot, but I reckon this is all very realistic. Read Review
The dogfight is realistic, thrilling and calls for a cool hand. Read Review
We're not at the fully-functioning dogfight yet, but it's still a pretty effective piece of work. Read Review
The flying area has wraparound so you cannot fly too far - about 100 x 150 miles - but it can give odd instrument readings when flying over a border. Read Review
Fighter Pilot gives more satisfaction than Flight Simulation, even though its landscape graphics are inferior. Its controls seem more responsive and we would like to conclude in saying that although both programs are good, Fighter Pilot is more exciting and thus slightly better than its counterpart.
