Jetfighter III – Full Playthrough

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.

F-22 Lightning II (1996) – Full Playthrough

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):

Red Jets (2006) – Full Playthrough

Red Jets is a 3D combat flight simulator inspired by the “Cold War” and the USSR Air Force. It was developed by Graffiti Entertainment and published in 2006, or 2004 according to other sources.

The player can fly four famous Soviet era jets like the MIG-29 Fulcrum, YAK-141 Freestyle, SU-27 Flanker, and the SU-27 Frog-foot.

The game features relatively realistic flight physics and the landscapes were modeled from actual satellite maps and a detailed visual weather system to simulate flights in almost unlimited combinations of weather and day.

Install Red Jets on your PC

You can download Red Jets on this website: My Abandonware. Remember to download the main installation file and the “NO CD” patch to fully make it work on your PC. 

I personally have tested this game on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 with no problems so far.
