Hi,
I replay with this simulator but I can not remember how to use air ground weapons, in the manual, the explanations are only for mavericks and AIM-9 Sidewinder, but these keys do not work for other weapons.
If anyone can help me, it would be nice.

Soooo slow! 300 knots down the runway feels like you're walking along and the plane turns like a jumbo jet.

How great was that intro guitar solo with the guys waking up to the plane working on it!! HEHE! Some nice touches and GFX made this title really good... Although the actual game itself was not as good as some other titles, it was still a really great flight sim!

Slow but addictive, good intro with the guitar solo, good behavior of planes, a really good one, quite different of F-18 or Falcon or F29 but not less good

I remember i liked very much the presentation and the cockpits of this game, i was amazed by the silhouettes of the planes in the option screen, the 3d wasn't very fast, and the palette was a bit dark compared to other flightsims. But i remember i loaded this quite often, it was strangely attractive. If i should choose a pair of flightsims to load just now i would go for this one and F18interceptor.

Not so good for me... I love sims and this have something wrong, I don't know exactly what, his flight model, fast fuel flow... So, not so good.

Nice game with many different aircraft. Good looking but a bit slow. When F-16 Falcon was a bit too complicated for me back then Fighter Bomber was quite playable if you were not used to flight simulations.

Great sim. I was crazy about it in the days. I played it together with F18 and found this one to have a more realistic feel. Nia.

It was in many ways better than F/A 18, but for some reasons it never got me. I still prefer F/A 18

I totally digged the intromusic back then. That was some cool samples rock stuff. Awesome.

Good but somewhat slow flight sim. Good choice of aircraft and missions but it lacked much in the way of excitement. That and the fact that the key to seperate from the tanker was buried hundreds of pages into the manual so I inevitably ended up having to blow it out the sky to continue the mission.

This was my favourite flight simulator for the Amiga. I played the game for many hours. The missions were very challenging. I remeber one mission where you had to refuel in the air and fly through the entire map to complete the mission. I had to repeat it many times to complete it but I finally did.

Looked bloody amazing back then but was very, very slow... Looks like the speed is locked because even 060 machine doesn't make any difference, damnit.

Wasn't it 'Buckaroo' that was the magic password? I'm a fan of flight simulators, and this being one of my favs. Maybe not the greatest graphics available, but it plays great.

This flight sim had a mission designer! Unfortunely (there's always an unfortunately isn't there) the mission designer tended to only provide you with bits of farm to put on your map. So mission briefings tended to go something like this "Farmer Giles hasn't paid his taxes. Go blow up his farm up and teach him a lesson." or "Farmer Giles is sleeping with your sister. Go blow up his farm..." you get the idea... Oh and the game was rubbish. It moved very smoothly yes, that's because there was nothing out of the window to see. This was real bare bones stuff.

Why does the word buccaneer keep going through my head with this one ;-)

Good flight sim. Nothing less, nothing more.

This was definitely more of a simulator than a game. The graphics all moved with a fluidity I had never experienced before. Everything was just so slick and smooth. It drove me to distraction, so much I went out and bought a Flightmaster F-15 programmable joystick. Looking back at it now, it fills me with many happy memories. An absolute gem.

This game sucked me in like no other flight simulator ever did, and it still remains the game of this kind I played more in my gamer-life. Deep, graphically cool, accurate but not too difficult, this was a true gem.

One of my favourite flight simulator games, perhaps even better than Falcon in some aspects. The game looks very nice, especially the planes. If you are into more realistic flight sims, this is the game for you.
