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.

This game is misleading because you can only fly 5 or 6 different types of aircraft, not 85 aircraft as mentioned. The other disappointment was that you do not have the option of firing any weapons. Not happy about this one...

To play fighter pilot you need to have FLIGHT SIMULATER 2002 OR 2004, and the game doesnt come with a free joy-stick, it takes five minutes to install. The game does not have 85 aircraft but it has the Thunder Birds and The Blue Angels,F-16's, F-14's, F-15's, and, F/A-18's, along with different designs of aircraft from other countrys.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the realism of Flight Simulator 2004. I have the same joy stick that is shown in the booklet that came with it and it works great. The only drawback that I have seen is its limitation of rudder control unless you have the rudder pedals and I'm seriously considering buying them.

The detail of this program is unbelievable and I'm picking up different things each time I play it. I would highly recommend it as tops for the value of the money.

I love how you actually get to fly these military jets. All it needs is the ability to fire weapons(maybe it does have this ability but i havnt explored it yet)
