Download f19 stealth fighter

In real life all missions were carried out during nighttime. There's no point in flying a plane that's invisible to radar but stands out black against the blue sky--that's why warplanes are usually coloured blueish gray.

In the game visibility is always perfect. I guess this, as well as the overly simple panels, were conscious decisions by the developers, understandable at the time. As I've said, if you want to enjoy this game you'll have to understand that it's not a conventional flight sim. Uncle Sam didn't flush so many tax dollars into the development and construction of this bird for you to act like Tom Cruise. Besides the stealth comes at the cost of reducing the flight capabilities, the bird is slower and less manoeuvrable than most other fighters actually it's more like a strategic attack craft than a fighter proper , and if we add that the missions routinely imply getting your electromagnetic absorbing rear very deep behind enemy lines all on your own and with very limited ammo, we reach the conclusion that either you play stealthy or you won't get far and, most important, you won't get the most out of this original game.

So your business consists in remaining undetected, that's the whole idea about this game and this bird. Things that will increase your radar footprint are flying high, flying fast, not remaining horizontal when there's radar around and you need to change course do so quickly between radar pulses , and having your weapon bays open open them just before firing and close them immediately afterwards.

The F's panel is really easy to understand, there's a slot just in the middle that fills from the bottom to the top as you lose concealment, and from the top to the botton as the enemy radar pulses get stronger because you get closer to the source or there's no longer a mountain in between or whatever ; when the two bars join you're a dot in someone's radar screen, you'd better do something fast before you're locked.

Of course there's not much mystery involved in flying low and slow, and you might think that it gets boring fast. But even though this may be enough in the easiest scenarios, these are good only to learn how to play. The real challenge starts when you have to spend a couple of minutes for every mission before even taking off, thinking about the route you'll take in order to avoid getting too close to enemy airbases or SAM posts' radar, considering how to approach radar sites depending on whether they use pulse or Doppler equipment, stuff like that.

And then when real action ensues you realize that you must change your carefully crafted plans because there's an AWACS craft buzzing around that Intel didn't tell you about. Yeah I warned you that this isn't your typical air superiority filght sim. However needless to say, when you're detected you get to dance some mambo too, but then it's all about getting out alive.

So, even considering the holes in the simulation - keep in mind that the real stealth fighter wasn't yet built - the game took on the nature of a "thinking man's sim", a real departure from the reflex-heavy simulators of the time. The missions in particular were especially well-designed, as they involved sneaking around through a variety of enemy defenses. Perhaps the most intriguing thing about the game was how surprisingly similar it was to actual Desert Storm sorties years later.

Screenshots from MobyGames. MikeM24 0 point DOS version. I had this original, of course now I wish that I kept the box and all!

I hate moves! Anyway, I played this for many many hours! Back on my Leading Edge PC Classic Champion -1 point. An ok game Would have liked if it had had some campaigns. I can not start the game. Is there a version for 64 bit System? I loved the game so much as a child and would love to play it a again on a modern computer.

I still love it. Have the orihinal box and floppys and that immensly thick manual. The graphics are absolutely stunning: the ground detail is all there right down to the individual missile launchers at SAM sites. And it's all as smooth as a baby's botty. If you're into flight sims, then you certainly won't go far wrong with this How to run this game on modern Windows PC?
