Also known as Strike Aces in the United States. If I’ve got this right, you’re competing in a real-life-inspired bombing and navigation competition.

Here’s an accessible simulator (I managed to take off all by myself), with smooth handling and a polished presentation. Now if only I knew what I’m supposed to do up there, all alone. It feels a bit empty.
Don’t tell me I was supposed to read the mission briefing or open a manual!

Specifications: seven planes to fly, a wide array of weapons (heavily leaning towards the “air-to-ground” category), mid-air refueling, and a mission editor.

The intro music reminds me of Space Baller (from its cracktro, actually).
