Looking Glass Technologies Flight Unlimited series continues to excel over the competition with the release of Flight Unlimited 3, an absolutely gorgeous flight simulator that includes enough game modes, flyable planes, and detailed scenery to appease any aviation aficionado. Instead of attempting to render the entire globe, Flight Unlimited 3 focuses most of its effort on a specific area, the Pacific Northwest. Aspiring aviators can buzz the Space Needle, explore Puget Sound, and investigate the Seattle nightlife (though you can also visit other western United States landmarks). Each building and landmark is rendered in accurate detail. Furthermore, if you own its predecessor, Flight Unlimited 2, you can export its San Francisco bay area landscape into the new 3-D engine. The core of any excellent computer flight simulator is the number of flyable planes and how accurately they represent the flight characteristics of their real-life counterparts. Thankfully, Flight Unlimited 3 doesnt disappoint, offering 10 flyable aircraft, including the Beechjet 400A, Mooney TLS Bravo, Lake Renegade 270 Turbo Seaplane, and even a classic "Red Baron" Fokker DR1. The best features--especially to players new to the flight simulator genre--are the plentiful training and tutorial missions that explain important flight concepts and the intimidating controls and gauges. --Doug Radcliffe |

Very nice software for FS98. It has the present Air Force One VC-25A(B747) and the Air Force One used during the JFK era VC-137B (B707). Another 3 US Navy aircraft come with this package VC-137A-MATS/VC 135A STRATOTANKER and the E-3A SENTRY/AWACS(B707 type). The panels are excellent and the airport .. 
Microsofts Combat Flight Simulator: WWII Europe Series does exactly what is says on the box--it lets you fly Second World War aircraft in combat missions. You can elect to fly "quick combat" missions or take part in a variety of campaigns flying for the British, Germans and Americans. You can choose how realistic you want the flight characteristics of the aircraft to be. Crank it up full and too tight a turn will see you spinning to destruction... unless your spin recovery technique is po.. 
normally i hate ww2 combat flight sims ..(out side of using them to stooge around the skys, and for add ons etc)
I guess tat this is a case of Buy One, Get One For Free(BOGOFF)! Air Warrier 3 is a very slight improvement on Air Warrier 2, though it all seems to be more of the same. The only difference is that the ground has some textures, which are okay, and match the grainy look of the cockpit interiors and w.. 
Is this another F-22 or F-18 game? Well, yes and no. These 2 types are your options and they do the job pretty well, though the cockpits and graphic details are spare (the external views are in low visibility grey colourings anyway), so it has more of a gamey feel. The landscape (Arctic) looks cold ..
