How to Install Jetfighter II Advanced Tactical Fighter on Windows 11

JetFighter II: Advanced Tactical Fighter is a combat simulation video game published by Velocity Development in 1990.

The game lets you take to the air in the YF-23 ATF, also know as “Black Widow”, in a war against the Soviet backed Latin American Revolutionary Alliance (LARA) as they fight their way across California.

Fly from real airports and visit real locations, including a detailed representation of downtown San Francisco. Free-flight and instant flight modes are available if you just want to try a supersonic run under the Golden Gate Bridge or select from single missions or the continuing campaign against LARA.

Game options include a campaign mode, where mission successes and failures dynamically affect the overall war, free flight, and various other single mission scenarios.

The YF-23 has the naval package, which allows it to participate in carrier-borne operations alongside the F-14, the F/A-18 and the F-22. Also included is the F-16 for some land-borne missions.

Depending on your performance on each mission you can be promoted, or in some cases demoted, from one sector to the other until you eventually beat the game.

After almost 30 years I re-discovered this awesome game that I played back in the nineties. I have been playing it for weeks, mission by mission, some of them were quite easy but others were pretty hard. 

And after all this time I could finally beat the game. 32 missions of blood, sweat, lots of swearing …and fun. Here is the whole play-through of the game for everyone to enjoy:
