This is an add-on for FSX. You get the F-35B (not listed on box), F-35C, AV-8B Harrier II+, GR.7 (not listed on box) and Rafale M. Each plane has operational flaps, tail hooks (Rafale M and F-35C only), vertical take-off capability (F-35B, AV-8B Harrier II+ GR.7 only), and air brakes. All planes have interactive controls. There are 3 moving carriers (in missions only). All planes can be flown in free-flight as well as missions. I like carrier warfare specialy WWII warfare, and I was not disappointed in the game. There is also a booklet that has information about the 3 carriers and the planes. P. Corti.

The game is pretty fun. The airplanes are realistic and look great. I gave it a 3 star because it only has 3 airplanes that can't shoot. The price is to much (29.99)when I could buy Flight Simulator X for 19.99 and get over 20.00 airports lots of planes and scenery. Still its a pretty nice game but you need to have FSX to use it.

I am try to look for the controler for this game which is fsx or fs2004 if u could help me find it I would more then happy to it ok?Saitek PS40U Aviator Joystick for use with PC or PS3 Game Console

Do yourself a favor buy Lockon, Lockon Gold, or Flaming Cliffs, for the PC if you want great graphics and a realistic flight model. These sims contain code from real military russian fighter jets like the SU-27, SU-33, Mig 29, and Su-25 with carrier based operations. They also have flyable F-15s and A-10s. Nothing on the market comes close to beating the Lockon sims. There is also a new russian helicopter sim that just came out called DCS Blackshark. It is the best sim ever released that one can own without joining the military. Pick up these up if you really want to be blown away. You will love them.

This game has cheesy graphics and a very nonrealistic flight sim. Stay Away from this game in my opinion.

I thought this would be a cool game to play, only to find out it's very difficult to land the planes.
