F-16 Combat Pilot is by far the best flight sim for the Amiga. I've tried Falcon more than once, and though it handles realistically on the higher skill- levels, it's really quite boring. The map is far too small. So do, as Lars suggests, buy this sim. It's a must for flight freaks. And by far the most involvin. Two small gripes though: Sick colors at some objects and short runways. But who cares when the sim is as good as this? Another sim that could be worth the wait is the coming Flight of the Intruder by the creators of Falcon and based on Stephen Coonts' book. It looks very promising and shares some of Combat Pilot's good points. Happy flying! Per Chr. Odegard (perod@ifi.uio.no)
