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!

It wont install on my system. i have a compaq 500 mhz, 128mg ram. I have installed everything from "the sims" to fs 2000 to age of empires and many others with no problems, but this piece of crap gives me the blue screen of death every time. luckily i got it as a christmas present and didnt actually spend my money on it.

Underrated, Excellent Combat Sim,

I have read a lot of negative reviews of this game by the real "hardcore" flight sim fans who say it is too easy, and not realistic enough(so I guess that they have all flown real F-14s and F-18s, if not, then what do they know for realism?). Which is one of the main reasons I love this game. It is not as intimidating, and it allows for action and excitement that is so submersive, it makes up for any lack of realism, (and causes a lack of sleep as I wake up an extra hour early to get some dogfights going). The graphics are excellent 50,000 sq. miles of beautiful satelite based terrain and is worth the 1.5 gig install. Another thing I love about the game is that it is based in the Northern California / Bay Area, which is where I live. It is awesome to be able to fly under the Golden Gate bridge, up to Sacramento (my town) and on to Lake Tahoe. I suppose that makes me a bit biased, but whatever. My point is that if you have never played a combat sim before, and you want one that can be fun without having to quit work and go to flight school this is for you. If you live in the bay area and have an even remote interest in Flying games, this is for you. I have purchased and subsequently uninstalled Jane's IAF, F-15, and USAF. I guess I just do not have the patience, plus none of those games came with any documentation, nothing but installation insructions, when they should each come with a 500 page Flight Bible. I am sure that one day I will move on to those other games, cause I have read that they are all great, but so far I keep coming back to JetFighter IV.

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!!

Caution: Requires ALOT of Patience

Before you buy this game make sure you have the patience for it.
I bought this game looking for a more arcade like combat sim. I had recently bought F/A-18 and couldn't even begin to play it due to the complexity of the controls. This is NOT much better.

Graphics: They are top of the line. The game is a visual delight for a flight sim, and that's where the 3rd star in my rating came from. (running it on a Geforce 3 Ti Series card)

Sound: Awesome. Great sound effects with the Audigy Gamer x card.

Game play: WAY too complicated for a game like this. It could have been one of the greatest arcade flight games ever made, but if you don't have the patience to learn to fly, bomb, and dogfight, for hours on end, don't bother.

I reccomend Comanche 4 by novalogic if your looking for some arcade fun. Two button controls, and the same awesome graphics.

Most of the users with the new Windows XP system find problems with drivers, screens freezes and problems with anti viruses when using this program.

This game runs best on win 95 or 98. This game is easy to play, if you are not good with avoiding all the SAMs than put it in invincable mode. Some of the graphics look a little flat at times. I like the game play and free flight. This is a fun and interesting game.

In order to use this game on a Windows XP Home Edition, you will have to jump through hoops. On the back of the case, this game indicates that it will run under Windows 95/98/XP but only if you apply some tricks. It is not easy but it will run. When you do get it running, the graphics are not a good as some other combat games. There is little or no technical support. My son was really disappointed with this game. It now collect dust.
