How it feels

The game feels like a blistering, arcade-style anti-grav race with tight controls and constant aerial drama.

What players say

Players praise the unique concept of flying aircraft in races but warn it is an unmodernized 1995 DOS game with no widescreen support. Some report a crash when going under a bridge on the London circuit. Controller support works through the DOSBox wrapper, but menu navigation still needs mouse and keyboard.
