- A flight simulator by Vektor Grafix released in 1989 by Activision for all popular microcomputers.
It has got very beautiful graphics for those days and a large variety of missions and airplanes you can fly.
As far as realism is concerned, it manages quite well in some areas but don't expect too much.
Generally, it looks good and it's a fun game to play.

Hello pilots! I'd recommend that you also watch the new version of this video, playing the game on my Amiga 500 with a 1084 CRT. The intro sounds much better on a real Amiga! Watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/IaGI6Od9fdM/v-deo.html
Oh my god. My dad always played this game! Ik haven't seen this in nearly 30 years. Wish my dad was still here.
@@vvitchaven for sure. I miss him every day, but it's no suffering. I cherish the memories
Same here. My grandmother used to see me playing this for hours. Wish my grandmother was still here. I think of her everyday... and every time i fly in VR nowadays. Some things never change (i´m 45).
Love this game!
And funny enough, those 3 FPS we did not care about, that poop graphic we did not care about because the gameplay was top notch.
And nowdays most players crying if the game dont ve 144+ fps ;)
My first Flight Sim! Loved flying over Mt. Rushmore.
mine too. I was 8 years old and it was my second game after Stunt Car Racer :-)
out of all the flight sims I used to play Fighter Bomber had the best sense of height and distance. It also had a more stable polygon engine than say the likes of Falcon or the Microprose engine in the sense that polygons themselves didn't jitter. I like almost all the flight games of this type though on Amiga but the engine itself present in FB just felt more polished albeit not the quickest. Landing was particularly satisfying on this one again because height and distance is conveyed convincingly
I never got the hang on the game, but I'd just watch the intro for hours on end for the music.
I didn't care much for my brother's flight sims (was into Lotus Turbo Challenge myself) but I'd still pop in FB's first floppy just for the intro :D Ironically the second floppy died (from neglect maybe?).
Yea great tune
I didn't like the game much, but the intro sure was kick-ass. Birds Of Prey and F/A-18 Interceptor were more to my liking.
For that time this was a fun gameplay.
The engine sound had an hypnotic effect on me

Brown note? ;)
How funny: the landscape, the mountains and rivers... the dashboards... those dots on the ground, and even the smoke plumes... all of this really looks like the kind of simulation of "Chuck Yeager's Air Combat" (1991, thus two years later). Don't you think so?
It's been decades since I last played Chuck Yeager's but yes, many sims of the era looked like this. Pyramids for mountains, dots on the ground, etc.
Which is possibly the finest flight sim of all time
fighter bomber pilot and f-16 combat pilot were my two favorite combat simulator.
I played some game with an F-16. When I fired a missile, it read "splash one mig". As a Finnish civilian boy with no access to internet yet I was like "Splash? I was not even over water so what exactly did I do to that Mig??? I thought I downed it or shot it down"
that took me right back, all the troubles of the world were left behind , as i pulled my f111 up off the ground and into the sky, heading to my first waypoint ,checking out the aircraft from my external views, as i winged my way into a night of flying the simulated skies , thanks for the memories
Had this on the ST... brilliant game, was totally obsessed by it
What the hell!! Now I remember this! My dream will be coming true when I play this on UAE 68030 emulation :) A dream 33 years in the making.
My friend and I were going to buy this at a Computing Store. The guy put it on to let us see it playing.
As soon as those wings swept back we were sold 👍😉
My great, great grandad loved this game.
Loved the game. This and Birds of Prey.
I have played this game a lot. :D
played most of these games completely clueless as i didnt speak english at the time. this one in particular was addictive and frustrating at the same time. would keep flying these things for hours lol, shooting down enemy planes now and then, before crashing into some mountains. tried to land several times but no joy
Now i am 49years old I NEVER FORGET....NEVER
Holy shit, i played that evry day after school ^^. I remember the music very well.
omg this stunning intro I cannot held anymore YEEEEHHH this solo
My childhood😢
The diashow starts @10:00.
Πολύ καλό για την εποχή του!δεν το έχω παίξει ποτέ, οπτικά ότι βλέπω.
Well, If you could imagine that you are flying over Egypt and the "mountains" are actually the pyramids, the graphics made sense ! :P
That tapping part in the intro...
yeees i remember this game old days...
rip ears
That game was fun to play until a fighter showed up then it was almost impossible to get away
Man I played this all the time, if you see the graphics from now a days its hard to understand lol.
question, because I don't know that much about Amiga yet
if it was ran on a later model, like 1200 or 4000, would it have a better framerate?
Although 3D games normally run better on faster processors, this one is an exception, if memory serves. It depends on the way each game is coded.
Hello spmrcv,
Had you managed to use laser bombs and AGM 88?
If so, how do I succeed only with the Maverick.
Hello. Yes I liked using Paveways back in the day as far as I can recall, but you can indeed play successfully just with the Mavericks.
Thank you for the answer.
I've been looking for ways to use these bombs and never found them.
The manual does not mention it.
If the memory comes back to you, it would make me happy to finally have the solution (if there is one ...)
Cordially. ;)
The PC version is the fastest, and most satisfying, but I certainly spent months gawking at the screenshots of the Spectrum version, and dreaming about it, but the tape I bought was corrupted, so, I could only load the initial menus, and see the plane models rotating
I liked the game back then on my A500. I think it already starts with a real nice selection of planes to choose from. Does anybody know if it runs with higher fps and correct gameplay speed on the A1200 or accelerated Amigas?
You can run it with whdload on the A1200, but there won't be much of an fps increase.
rofl he is painting the bombs :D
Those are external fuel tanks but yes he is painting them :P
Kinda makes me feel stupid to have spent the cash back then, and now coughing up again to play project wingman in VR today..
I remember it perfectly. Without manual was absolutely impossible, but I spent so many afternoons on it. Fantastic times.The lack of the italian version of Panavia Tornado was really disappointing for a 14 yeasr old boy who wanted to become an Italian Air Force pilot :)
Was this game from the same person who made FA-18 interceptor, it has a similar feel.
Bob Dinnerman? No, this one was done by a team called Vektor Grafix
Man this sim was hard, to me.
Who bumped the sim frame rate up, prff.
Oh no its a buckaroo
So much better than F29 Retaliator or the Falcon series. My all-time fav flight sim.
Ελα ρε Σπυρε παικταρα.....!!!!!
Does it capitalize on faster 68040?
No, there's no noticeable difference
guitar tab please
911 hijackers traind on this simulator
Is that 1 FPS?
No it's 1FPH

Ok
What a fake stereo sound, it's just the same sound a millisec. later in one of the channels. But still a cool tune.
