User Rating: 9.6 | Fighter Ace PC

Nothing that AI can do will EVER compare to the thrill of flying in a squadron of real, live, human pilots against a team of practiced enemy. And a better flight engine has never been published. This is as good as it gets !!

Gamespot's review was written many moons ago. The game has evolved since then. The line-up of planes is extensive. The combat scenarios are rich with variety and challenge. The scenery is terrific. And the camaraderie of participating with a squadron is the real attraction of the game. You need somebody to watch your six.

Ketsujin is the new owner. They have poured money into improvements for the last two years. The results are obvious: flight engine realism, at least ten scenarios running, 200 players on a good night, skill levels for beginning pilots and advanced Aces, and historical simulations allowing pilots to compete for the glory of winning the real thing.

On the downside:
Expensive.
Better than average PC equipment required.
Not enough terrain/map development.
Limited to WWII flight equipment and scenarios.

Possible improvements:
Korea scenarios with Migs, Saberjets, B-29s and Grumman Panthers
WWI flight equipment and scenarios.
