The Jetfighter – Page 19

One of the many games I discovered when I came back to flight simulation was Strike Fighters 2 by Thirdwire. For me it’s a perfect simulation game in terms of balance. Does not require a NASA built PC to run, it’s not so complicated to learn and yet not too arcade to play.

Besides being a pretty old game, it still holds a decent number of fans around the globe and, the best of all a dedicated community of that improves the game in many ways keeping the game very alive despite the years and the huge competitions of more modern a realistic flight simulator out there.

Here I’m testing one Add-On created by the Strike Fighters 2 community: The F-15A Eagle, one of my favorite combat jets. Since I set the game on random time, I got to fly one of the hardest kinds of mission: the night fly. A really good setting to test this beast of a jet.

Since this add-on it’s a community created one, it’s totally free to install and use. It’s available on the flight simulation community forum CombatAce, one of the best community-based sites for everything flight simulation and flight simulation modding:

The third installment of one of my favorite combat flight simulation sagas of all time: Jetfighter III. Back in the nineties I managed to find the original box and installations disk of the game.

Unfortunately, at the time I didn’t have a “powerful” enough PC to run it which made me to abandon my adventures on flight simulators for many years.

Now, many years later, with a PC still not “powerful” enough to run the most modern sims but “powerful” enough to run the classics, I had the chance to properly play this game.

This is a game I’ve known about for a while since I’m back into flight simulators. I love the F-22 Raptor, called Lightning II by the time this game was released.

A good old game from the glorious MSDOS era when many of the classics we enjoy nowadays were born and forged. It’s not really complex to play yet not that easy to master.

Playthrough

I have been playing this game for quite a while, at the beginning looks easy but don’t be fooled. The difficulty of F-22 Lightning II increases as you progress in the game.

The following is the playthrough of the game as I shared it on The Jetfighter’s Youtube Channel to which you are all invited to visit, comment, share and off course subscribe for more flight simulations old and new.

Every game has its difficulty level. So, in case you’re stuck at some level/campaign, here comes some “help” brought to you by the magic of Internet (and Gamespot):
