What players say

Players call this a classic but simple dogfighting sim from 1993. It lets you fly 12 planes across conflicts from WWI to the Falklands, though navigation relies on external views and the flight model is barebones. Some note the appeal of fighting in wars that few other games cover, like the Falklands and Six-Day War.
