Summary: Can't Get any better
Review: When I got this game I found it hard with all this "marshal radial" and "LSO" stuff. But after a while I got used to it after a while I stopped playing it because of a few bugs but now that the patch came ou it is perfect.

My favorite thing about this game is the weapons that are included. The real F/A-18 Superhornet can carry most of the Navy's air launched weapons. And in the game you can custimize the weapon, for example you can custimize the crusing height of SLAM and Harpoon Missiles.

One more thing the Campaign is so large that you can spend days playing it. Also the way you pass the objectives effects the campaign say that you fail to drop mines in the inlet where the thyphoon subs are kept, then the next mission is going to be to bomb the sub or it will submerge and you will fail the campaign. The videos in the campaign are fun to watch.

One last note, check out USAF, and WW2 fighters.

Summary: Jane's Only Short-Coming
Review: When I read that this awesome new product by Electronic Arts was coming out, I couldn't help but be excited, knowing, that it HAS to be greater than USAF. I was wrong. It installed quickly and disapppointed me even quicker, realizing that I just bought the F15 all over again, just a different plane, different theater. This is fine... ...if it was 1997. The overall graphics are okay and the carriers landings are an improvement over other flight simulations, but the cockpit graphics, flight manual and aircraft handling are upsetting, letting you know that this latest edition to Jane's was a rushed job. My recommendation is to hold off on getting this, look at the number of disappointed flight sim jockeys and wait for Jane's to get their act together before trying to sell us a $40 dessert after a full course meal of an excellent, well-reviewed "USAF".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Looks like the real thing... and I know about it!
Review: Word of warning before starting: THIS AINT AN EASY SIMULATOR. Heck, flying an airplane was never easy in the first place. So don't buy this game unless you know a think or two about G's, stalls... and how to avoid them!

Back to the review, I must say that I liked what I saw. Man, are some of these things even allowed for public knowledge?!? I thought they were classified!

I am currently working on the software component of the CF-18 of the Canadian Air Force. And a lot of what I saw in this game matches the real thing.

The details of the cockpit are astounding! Even the pilots at my workplace were impressed. Everything works as it should be. Every knob, every switch was in place. The displays give accurate outputs. Everything looks authentic... Well, almost everything. I noticed some stuff that was, shall we say, "fudged" to avoid giving classified data. You can't really blame them for that.

Graphically speaking, it looks good. It is far from flashy, but it looked quite smooth. Try flying into clouds and you'll see...

The only bad things about this game are the system requirements and the tutorial.

I have a P450 with 128 MB RAM and a decent video card. When I tried using the usual 1024 X 768 resolution with high details, the game ran slowly! Be sure you have the computer system to take advantage of the beauty of this game. I believe you need the extra resolution just to be able to read the cockpit's layout, and read the knobs' labels.

The tutorial is WAYYYY too thin. In the USAF game, you AT LEAST had a co-pilot helping you out during the training mission. Here you are left on your own. Hmmm... Better be a quick learner

So for the veteran flight simer, this is an EXCELLENT simulator.

Summary: Listen! This is the best sim.... period...
Review: You'll read about poor graphics and slow frame rate. If you have the hardware this is what you should buy... The most realistic sim you will find. You won't get the USAF kind of sim, you will get the real stuff, ok, the graphics are not that good, but the game is really exciting, you will love it... of course it from jane's. Just don't think you will get a novaligic or a USAF secual, this is very diffrent. I recomend you try it, you just need more than 400 mhz. I have an atholon 600 and a banshee and I love the way it runs.
