Step into the cockpit of an F-22 ATF or an F-29, two “futuristic” aircraft dreamed up by programmers and inspired by cutting-edge American prototypes of the time (a far cry from the famous F-22 “Raptor” that entered service in 2005!). Take part in the war of the future (2002) across four global regions and complete a hundred frantic missions. The game is relatively easy to pick up, fast-paced, and doesn’t waste a second.
Personally, I found the controls a bit… “slippery”. Still, I managed to take off, shoot down a few Migs, and even land—all in under forty save attempts!
This is one of the few flight simulators I’d actually recommend. In fact, it’s one of the only ones I’ve actually understood…
The manual is still handy, though.
