Amazon.com Review

While Flight Simulator fans continue to wait for Microprose's much-heralded and oft-delayed Falcon 4.0, Jane's Combat Simulations continues to pump out impressive simulations. The latest is Jane's F-15, an amazing jet combat simulator with top-notch graphics and realism. Prima's guide to the game is a bit different than most strategy guides. There are no walk-throughs for a simulator, since missions tend to unfold very differently each time you play them. Instead, the book offers up a heaping helping of information on how to effectively handle your aircraft, your wingmen, and the many, many weapons at your disposal. The guide provides maps and strategies for each mission type, which should prove valuable over the course of the game's lengthy campaigns. Tons of graphs, charts, and tables give you the lowdown on the F-15's capabilities--as well as every other aircraft in the game. The book even contains an 80-page excerpt from the U.S. Air Force's Multi-Command Manual 3-3, a training document read by every real-world F-15 pilot. --Michael Ryan

3.0 out of 5 stars Good beginners guide to a complicated flight sim, August 14, 1998

If you're new to flight sims and trying to tackle Janes' F-15, then you'll no doubt find this guide to be of great help. More experienced sim-pilots will enjoy the detailed graphs and weapons overviews, but much of the rest of the guide will be of little value for them. Much of the info in the guide is already available in the Expert Manual that came with the simulator. There is good information here for any player of Janes' F-15, but the focus is definately on the less experienced sim pilot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great info on how to win., March 28, 1999

This book provides a wealth of excellent information on the Jane's F-15 combat sim. I progressed from a person who had not won a single dogfight to winning almost every single dogfight and destroying every single target I was sent out to destroy over the course of this book.
