Possibly the most advanced fighting aircraft in the world, the F-22 Lighting takes the spotlight in this combat simulation. You'll play pilot in more than 50 new missions, starting with flight simulation and working your way up to the real dogfights. With three types of missiles, air-to-ground bombs, and a tracking system that is positively unrivaled, you'll have all of the ingredients for victory onboard. The cockpit is decorated with more than a dozen displays, always keeping you abreast of what's going on. Up to 128 players can battle it out on the Internet. Upoading by thejinnni.com
Since the early days of NovaLogic - you know, back when voxels were the size of your fist and hours were wasted trying to squeeze out some extra lower memory to run Comanche - the company has steadily released simulations, typically with a military theme, that are fast, fun, and furious. You didn't expect a lot of realism or even depth in some cases, but what you got was a game you could load, play, and shoot something in, with some nice explosion or other graphical treat as your reward. Despite NovaLogic's attempt to gain legitimacy with official sanctioning from the F-22's manufacturer Lockheed Martin, you still couldn't expect the level of realism of, say, the Falcon series, or sims from Digital Integration, Jane's, or Digital Image Design. So, with that in mind, if you look over NovaLogic's latest offering, F-22 Lightning 3, you are presented with NovaLogic's credo (that is, fast, fun, and furious) front and center, which is really not a bad thing at all.
F-22 Lightning III is a fairly straightforward, easy-to-play, simple-to-get-into F-22 flight simulation, featuring good graphics and mission structure, as well as a more pronounced emphasis on fast and furious multiplayer games. You can step up the screen resolution all the way to 1024x768, though 800x600 runs fine for 3dfx owners (recommended, as the HUD is easier to read in the full cockpit mode). Hardware requirements are surprisingly lax - 800x600 on a Voodoo2 is extremely smooth with all the options turned on. Then again the price you pay is the fog, which seems to be too close for comfort, diminishing how far you can see onto the horizon. One nice graphical feature is the variety of weather: snow, thunderstorms, driving rain, and so forth. The lightning is a particularly good effect, not to mention the nuclear explosions (more on those babies later). The aircraft are well detailed and sport a variety of paint schemes.
