One of Digital Integration's last great sims, this is a very fun Falcon sim with four theaters, as it includes the Afghanistan add-on that was released shortly after the game's initial release -- and I'm not sure it was ever available here in the states -- so yeah, this looks to be the latest version of the game, the DOS version, so it's running under DOSBox, and it looks and flies great. Well done, MicroProse. I hope your future classic releases are this solid. Note, if you're having trouble with the game seeing all of your axes, change these lines to the following. joysticktype=4axis swap34=false in the IF-16 FIGHTING FALCON\Config\dosboxIF.conf file. You should then have working throttle and rudder.

There is a lot of content - trainaing mission, single missions and campaigns set in 4 different war zones (it includes the Afghanistan add-on) so there's plenty to do. At the time of the original release the game was regarded as highly realistic, nowadays you could call it sim-lite. It's not hard to grasp, you can tailor the difficulty of the opponents for enjoyable gameplay. It has some quirks, but overall it's a fine game worth the price. The Steam release is pretty solid out of the box, but it still needs some tweaks to the DOSBox config and if you want to fl...

Reminds me of the sims I used to play as a kid. My parents were able to afford some pretty good hardware, so I had a decent number of sims during the 90s. This one runs fine, but setting up the controls is highly recommended.
