Rating: Summary: fantastic game Review: incredible game. insane graphix. this is the best game ive ever played. its a great buy for all ages
Rating: Summary: Flawed but fun Review: It's flawed but fun.The fun: Smart alec "Scooter" Davis as IP. Just like a lot of IP's in the Air Force. All the choices of aircraft to fly. All the different campaigns. Flight models generally realistic; i.e., you can't haul an F-105 around the sky like an F-16. Graphics are not bad for someone with an older computer and Windows 98. Flaws: Avionics! USAF F-4E's did not have a HUD, nor did F-105's. The early F-16C modelled also did not have onboard ECM. And the A-10 does not have radar of any kind - the Warthog modelled here has both A/A and A/G radar. Also, the MiG-29 is quite incorrect. The cockpit looks like an American jet with some pseudo-Cyrillic lettering. The Fulcrum is also displayed with a dorsal airbrake. The real thing has clamshell airbrakes between the engine nozzles. The Quick Missions are kind of neat and good practise. However, you cannot choose the loadout for your bird beyond A/A or A/G modes - what they give you is what you get. It's kind of funny to fly a MiG-29 in the A/G mode, though - they give you US Mk 83 bombs! Also, it would be nice to be able to practise inflight refuelling and to have "backseaters" on the F-15E and F-4E. The Fly Now mode is absolute insanity, but sometimes that's a good thing. Overall, pretty good, but you HAVE to have the manual. I'm glad I bought the initial release with the manual. I have the jewel case versions of Jane's F-15E and F/A-18 and have barely played them because of the cheap PDF manual on the disk - I don't fancy going through a ream of paper and several ink cartridges just to have the manual.

Rating: Summary: Incredible Review: Jane's USAF is by far the best combat flight simulator in the world. The graphics and sounds are incredible (along with overall realism) are absulutely incredible. Every single aspect of the program reflects realistically the United States Air Force and it's top fighter aircraft.
Rating: Summary: Sweer Review: One of the best Flight Sims I ever played. That simple.
Rating: Summary: Got the hard drive, got the ram, got the game Review: The game is very fun, lots airplanes such as f-22a,mig 29,f-105D,f-4D,f-16,f-15c,a-10a,f-117,f-22a. Lots of missions and great graphics. The only thing that sould keep you from buying this game is the system requirements. I have a 600mhz,win98se,128rm and its works fine. So if you have the system its worth its weight and gold.
Rating: Summary: This game rocks! Review: There are several patches that you can download to make the game more interesting. A lot of the comments you hear the pilots saying seem dated, but if you're a historical buff, they are very appropriate (Vietnam and Persian Gulf scenarios especially).

Rating: Summary: Nice Try Review: This game had the potential to be outstanding. The avionics are lacking in realism. The F-15 radar looks like an F-16 display and the RWR is usless. Like most software companies, EA has produced a product that will only work on certain computers. Don't try this one on a computer loaded with Windows XP. It works for a day or two and then has to be reloaded.
