I have to say this is the best of the worlds fighter jets, Bombers, Airliners and complete visual color effects I have seen. The complete pickable air war scenerio available.
Could train the milatery on it.
How many others have this oldy ? What are your thoughts on it?
The people who made this were mostly nerds and ex-pilots and ordanance.

i think its ok to post about flight sims per se.

if you like JFA, then get your hands on Janes F18 and the current king of the hill, Lock On Modern Air Combat. There is also a new iteration of the 1998 classic, Falcon 4. It's called allied force....all of these absolutely kill Fighter Anthology. in fact every button, and every procedure from engine spool up is painstakingly replicated in Falcon 4....

JFA was good for it's day though, no doubt.

I got Jane's F-15 when it came out. And being a ex-F-15 avionics technician, I can tell you it was real as it gets.

yes, F15 was VERY good too... its one of the titles though that wont run on todays machines...which is a shame.

still runs awesome on win 98 with a glide card though...i have it too.

Thanks for the warning about the new comp. The old DELL is great with the oldies.
Actually I enjoy bringing down 5 ace F-22's once in a while.
50 % damage is really 100 % on the plane.
I have aced all 5 - 3 or 4 times:)
Doctor would ground me if he took pulse and B P after one of those fights.:D
