JetFighter 4

This says that it will run with Windows ME, but it did not with my computer - Gateway, Microsoft programing, 64 ram - I had all the "requirements." We even had a joystick, but could not get it to work with the game. I am finding that not all games will run with our computer, regardless of having the requirements as specified by the manufacturer. I just say, beware! As for the game, I suppose if you can get it working, it might be a fun simulator, but I wouldn't know!!

'Aight, so I was at Office Max one day and I saw this game for $1, so I bought it (or maybe it was $5)... Anyway, the single player is fun. There's an arcade feel to the game, so don't expect realism. You can land on water. Carrier landings are a bit challenging, to me anyway. The textures look excellent when you're about 5,000 ft. or more above them, but when you get close they look crappy, esp the 2D cities. There are some 3D buildings that disappear when you get a little far from them (they disappear too soon). There are lines visible in the texture-photos. Parts of the terrain aren't textured at all. I don't understand that.
The multiplayer is SEVERELY FLAWED as when you "kill" someone with a gun they'll explode but keep on flying. The people I was playing with got mad at me because I didn't eject after they told me I was hit. Someone hit me 5 times or so and I never ejected because I thought it was too hard to type,"I killed you." while flying.
Bottom line, don't buy this game for multiplayer. I was looking for a simple multiplayer game and this was a disappointment. Currently I'm thinking about getting F-22 Lightning III.

I used to play Jetfighter 2, until it refused to cooperate with Windows 95/98. Now, years later, I just saw Jetfighter 4. I snatched up a copy, put off everything else I had to do, installed and played. The graphics and terrain are highly realistic. The controls are very smooth and yes, it has a learning curve, but the training missions really help out with that.

The enemy aircraft are actually a challenge to evade, as opposed to many of the flight sims out there. I have no system problems with it so i would reccomend this to everyone!

WOW What a bad game!

Um, Do not buy this game unless you get it for under 5 bucks. it would not run on my system. and was a bad expieriance. i would let you know how it played but, i have no idea as all i would get is a black screen and i would have to hard boot it. i have win xp. 1800 amd with a geforce 4 4200 with 2400 ddr ram...nothing else has crashed my system. just this badly programed game. (( DONT BUY IT!!))

The controls are too complicated. Missions are nearly impossible. The only thing I like is the free flight and that is boring.

I thought, maybe, because it was outdated. Install was easy. When trying to enter a campaign my screen would go black,and I would have to re-boot every time. Then I couldn't even CTRL/ALT/DEL to get out of it. When I could play it, the graphics were good. That is until I tried to turn my aircraft. The HUD images would trace and trail, as well as other aircraft in view. Lack of instructions didn't help either. This sim is problem plagued. I'd rather go back to my Janes Anthology Fighters.

Forget playing on XP!

Pentium 4, GeForce 4 Ti4200, 512RAM, 2.4 GHz, Windows XP Pro, never a problem with over 30 other graphically demanding games -- and this game will not get beyond the splash screen except with tremendous tweaking of settings and configuration of ini files! Even then, the controls are entirely senseless: totally unrelated to ordinary flight sim models, unintuitive and mostly unchangeable! Worse yet, effectively no support! Don't bother if you're running XP or interested in something that approximates real flight!

Looking good...

Back in 1992 Mission Studios came out with Jetfighter, a pretty good jetfighter simulation game with good graphics by 1992 standards. Then Mission Studios announced their to Jetfighter sequel, Jetfighter II. A few years later Jetfighter III came out. A year later the long awaited Jetfighter III Fullburn came out, an improved version of the Jetfighter III. Now Mission Studios is coming out with Jetfighter IV Fortress America. All reviews that I have read are positive. With 50,000 square miles of land to fly over, Great Flight models, and detail 4 times better than that of Jetfighter III Fullburn. The terrain graphics were made from real satellite images of the San Francisco area, and continue deep into Nevada. The flyable planes are the F/A-18 Superhornet, F-14 Tomcat, and the F-22 Raptor. The game is coming out in Late September. I can't wait to get my hands on this game!
