Game Description
This release from the accomplished flight sim developers at Jane's puts virtual pilots in the cockpit of one of seven different fighter planes for missions that take place in the often-troubled skies above the Middle-East. Compared to some earlier combat sims published by the company, this release is designed to be more immediately fun and accessible, occasionally at the expense of the usual rivet-to-rivet details and flawlessly realistic physics. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the game and its missions were developed through the efforts of several actual retired IAF fighter pilots, to provide as authentic an overall experience as any virtual pilot could desire from such a title.~ T.J.

Roots & Influences
Input from Israeli Air Force pilots, terrain based on stereoscopic satellite terrain data of the Middle East, incorporating Israeli combat doctrine and tactical operations, and featuring the seven jet aircraft of the IAF.~ Michael L. House, All Game Guide
