Jetfighter V is the pits! Only receiving a 53%+- pcgamer, I was looking for a "non-die-hard" sim so I can play with my boys (12 and 13). After reading how it was more like an arcade game, I thought it would be perfect.

I load it, all three systems are Win 98Sp2, Abit KT7 motherboards, Geforce 4 TI 4600, latest drivers, directx9.0b. Everything runs on these systems. Good luck trying to get it all to work....Small things like seeing the hud?? Where do I start? Oh boy.(:-(

Don't expect support. The box notes support at www.jetfighterv.com. Well it is really jetfighter5.com, and has been closed at least the last week. Their support area don't even mention Jetfighter V!

I also purchased Lock-On, from the same Russian programmers that gave us IL-22 and Striker. I guess I will try to "dumb" that one up instead. (But it has a bug and don't run on 98 right now!). I rather wait for the patch, or upgrade to XP at $89 than spend $... on this title. They are up to V, and still can't get it right.

Spend your $30 on anything else.

One of the Crappiest Games Ever Produced...

If there is a game that should be given 0 stars this is definitely one of them. So you ask what is wrong with this game that would give it such a bad review?

Well there is too much to list. There is too much wrong with this piece of junk software that it is hard to find even a technical aspect of the game that is worthy of mentioning.

Let me list my system details:
Pentium 1.6GHz 400FSB with 512MB shared memory (32MB for 8x AGP video) DirectX 9. This surpasses the RECOMMENDED requirements excepting that the video cards 32MB is a minimum requirement.

So you think this game would run half decently on such a system. But alas, this is not to be. Because this game just old plain sucks.

Talk about .806 seconds of lag between physical mouse movement and response on screen. So I plodded in this screen chasing the mouse pointer on the screen making tiny movements until I got to a place that was clickable. Too much work for no enjoyment. Thus I worked me way through the single mission screens until I was ready to fly.

I choose the F-22 Lightning III (Raptor) and start my mission to rescue America from the Evil. What is that??? I am looking around and I see that I am in a F-16 Fighting Falcon?? Something must be wrong I tell myself. But alas again I am not. Studying the gospel according to Global Star Software all the platforms have the same cockpit in Jetfighter V.

Anyways, try to live with that none reality for the moment let me do some jet jockey stuff. I push over the joystick in an attempt to roll the F-22 that is a F-16. No movement. So I move it more over to the right no movement. So I tried it again and there it was it moved and moved and moved having me chase the artificial horizon all over the place to try and level out the worst F-22 raptor that was made for the US Air Force. There was so much lag that you tend to have to plan you moves in advance because you will end up chasing the plane all around the HUD and never ever get to where you wanted to in the first place. Measured lag at this point was 1.670 seconds.

The manual for the game says that real satellite mapping was used in the creation of the terrain. Ah ha ah ha ah ha. Maybe the satellite map is only correct if you bought it from Nauru. There is beautiful farmland where there should be just scrubland. So much for satmaps from Nauru. Has Nauru launched a satellite yet? The terrain takes so much time to refresh and is too blocky when refreshing.

I had enough of the game already. I uninstalled the game as there was no support for the game. The website given is a farce and they had removed their forum page as too many members were paying there games disrespect. Is it worth the $20 I paid ... ? No. I suppose I feel I should have got paid for putting my time into it working to get it going and putting up with the frustration.

I would never again buy a game from this company again as I have never had any good experiences with ANY of their games.

What happened??!!

This has got to be the worst Jetfighter ever. I had more fun with the first Jetfighter game 15 years ago. You just play the same game over and over again. You don't get to land or takeoff, or even attempt carrier landings. What a complete waste of money.

boring

The game is not even a game. It's the same thing over and over. There's not even scenery to balance the dullness of the game. There's an everlasting 'fog' all over everything, that you never get to see the ground. Skip it.

Can't even install

I couldn't even get the game to run. Everywhere I look I hear bad things about this game. A waste of $10.
