To all my fellow FS pilots: News Alert!

This product does NOT contain "over 85 aircraft" as the marketing garbage on the box screams. It contains FOUR aircraft in 85 paint schemes, which is a different thing altogether.

I don't own this product yet, and now that I've discovered the truth about it by researching it online, I don't plan to. Instead, I highly recommend the stellar "Wings of Power" from Tri Synergy, and shame on Abacus for allowing such a blatantly fraudulent marketing ploy. Their marketing department should all be ridden out of the building on a rail, but not before they are tarred and feathered. Morons.

The sad part is that it might be a perfectly good piece of software; but lying is always a VERY bad way to start with me, and so they won't be getting my money. I suggest a boycott.

The front of the box brags of 85 fighters. When I installed the expansion, I found 85 paint jobs for 4 jets! Grrr! On top of this lie in advertising, the jets have horrible sound, lack any kind of flying realism to be for a flight simulator, and have cockpits that look like complete crap. Wait, they got one thing right - jets do look cool, but that's about it.

Do not buy this garbage! You'd have better quality downloading aircraft from the net for free, then paying for this trash.

I bought the FS Fighter Pilot while in a computer store a couple of months ago while I was perusing other sim games. It caught my eye and I bought it. What a mistake. The most pathetic of all aircraft in the package is the F-15...especially the cockpit. This teaches me to not buy a product without researching the reviews about it. Lesson learned.
