Strike Fighters: Project 1

Windows - 2002

Strike Fighters is a multi-faceted flight-simulation game that features one of the most versatile combat aircraft of all time - the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. The core of the game is traditional combat flight-simulation - players take command of a thundering jet fighter and engage in aerial dogfight with enemy fighters while seeking and destroying ground targets. The game is set in the 1960s - when aviation technology was still primitive, but advancing at a rapid pace. Some missiles and guided weapons are available later in the game, but true to history, they remain somewhat unreliable and inaccurate. Most air battles involve visceral, in-your-face gunfights, and your skill at outmaneuvering your opponents remains the key to victory and survival.

This game utilizes an all-new "next-generation" graphics engine using DirectX 8.1. The graphics engine, developed by Third Wire, is optimized for rendering scenes with high poly count in full 32-bit color. Aircraft are modeled with exceptional details, each exceeding 5,000 polygons. It also supports advanced features such as colored point light-sourcing, specular highlights, multi-layer textures, bump mapping, and reflective environment mapping.

Game Features:

  • Features F-4 Phantom II, the most versatile combat aircraft of all time.
  • Advanced terrain engine using both fractal and digital elevation map.
  • Furious air combat action focused on classic dogfighting action.
  • Fully scalable difficulty options.
  • Open architecture to allow for future expansions and user customizations.
  • Highly popular fighter jet era.
  • Filled with popular fighter jets.

This is the perfect simulator to me. This game is not so complicated like DCS or so "arcade" like Ace Combat series. Just, I love it.
