More processing power for better graphics meant gameplay sometimes suffered. Thankfully, Parsoft kept the low-res polygons and gave us an amazingly ahead-of-its-time physics engine and enemy A. The result is a flight sim legend with realistic flight dynamics that retains its retro cool. To get a sense of what all this looks like on the screen, see this overview embedded above from the YouTube channel SiliconClassics. And if you have a Mac, there is still a small community that has kept A Attack!
So A Cuba! Tracking down a copy of A Cuba! Your best bet is second-hand sellers on eBay and Amazon. A sequel to the original A Tank Killer and developed by Dynamix, this game takes a stripped-down flight model for novice sim pilots and combines it with 3D accelerated graphics.
I wish I had more to say on this one. The flight model is … not good. And the graphics have aged poorly. There was a time when flight simulators were the best-selling PC games out there. By , gamers could play Call of Duty or World of Warcraft instead of buying expensive peripherals for a sim that takes hours of studying to get off the ground. The kills you work for are the most satisfying. All of this can be confusing and exhausting for flight sim neophytes—doubly so in the heat of battle—but for the perpetually demanding hardcore simulation crowd, DCS: AC represents combat-flight nirvana.
Every single switch, gauge, button and display in the fully clickable virtual cockpit is completely functional, while the almost classified avionics and high-fidelity flight modeling deliver piloting challenges rarely seen outside of a full—dome, military-grade cockpit simulator.
It's not completely inaccessible, for those willing to learn. A terrific set of interactive, narrated training missions and animated control cues provides a great starting point. Eventually, jet-jock wannabes can perform anything from cold engine start-ups to bitch-slapping Russian tanks with a laser-guided Paveway. This includes several sensors, weapons, and sub-systems. The FC is a single seat, single engine multirole fighter that was developed in the s.
More than 4, units were manufactured and are operated today by 26 countries where the aircraft performs numerous missions that include air superiority, close air support, precision bombing, air defense suppression, reconnaissance and more. Few other aircraft can match its versatility, maneuverability, firepower, and huge production numbers.
Nicknamed the Viper by its pilots, the F was designed with a reclined seating position for high G tolerance and a single-piece bubble canopy for exceptional visibility and comfort.
Its lightweight and powerful FGE engines provide a greater than thrust ratio. The F was the US Navy's frontline fighter from the s to the mids. It was also immortalized in the iconic motion picture, Top Gun, and starred in several other feature films including The Final Countdown, Executive Decision, and others. Remember me.
