The Jetfighter – Page 16 – Flight simulation old and new

Another of those old combat flight simulation games that I’ve found about throughout the making of The Jetfighter project. This in a MSDOS flight simulator game based on the F-16 Fighting Falcon published in 1996 with pretty well-done graphics and play game considering the time it was released.

As many old MSDOS games I needed the help of some MSDOS emulators for modern PCs like the famous and really good DOSBOX in any of its “flavors”.

A really entertaining game and a pretty complex to flight which ads a lot in making the simulation experience more enjoyable. Obviously don’t expect a Falcon BMS kind of simulation,

Here’s the YouTube playlist I’ve published on The Jetfighter’s channel for everyone to enjoy, more videos will be added as a play a new mission on it.

As many of the old combat flight simulation games I play now I could find and download this title on the very useful Internet Archive website.

Notice that I don’t really know if the game is now abandonware but still, it is available for download on the aforementioned website but if you want to give it a try before downloading it, you could do so at the Internet Archive website.

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.
