..... RIDING.THE THUNDER.. J
ET SIMULATORS FOR THE C64.....
SOFTWARE REVIEW. (C)1987 BY ERVIN
BOBO.. PUBLISHED BY. VIK
ING TECHNOLOGIES, INC.. IN THE EARLY
DAYS OF THE COMMODORE 64, FLIGHT SIMULA
TORS MADE A MODEST ATTEMPT AT REALISM, T
RYING TO DUPLICATE THE MAIN CONTROLS (IF
NOT ALWAYS THE AERODYNAMICS) OF A VARIE
TY OF LIGHT AIRCRAFT. IT WAS THE ADVENT
OF THE JET COMBAT SIMULATORS, THOUGH, W
HICH TOOK A FORCEFUL HOLD ON THE IMAGINA
TION OF COMPUTER PILOTS - PERHAPS BECAUS
E JETS ALLOW US TO "KICK THE TIRES AND L
IGHT THE FIRES", TO RIDE THE ROLLING THU
NDER WHILE HURLING BOLTS OF LIGHTNING AT
THE ENEMY... SOARING ON THE WAVE OF
POPULARITY GENERATED BY THE MOTION PICT
URE "TOP GUN", SOME COMPANIES HAVE RE-RE
LEASED OLDER AND SOMEWHAT OUTDATED COMBA
T SIMULATORS, THEREBY CONFUSING THE MARK
ET AND THE CONSUMER. WHILE THE ULTIMATE
JET COMBAT SIMULATOR HAS YET TO BE PROD
UCED, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME EXCELLENT EFF
ORTS AND WHAT FOLLOWS IS THE BEST - THE
TOP GUNS OF THEIR CLASS... THOUGH TH
ERE ARE SIMILARITIES - EACH HAS AIR-TO-A
IR ACTION, HEADS-UP DISPLAYS, A COMBINAT
ION OF JOYSTICK AND KEYBOARD CONTROL, RE
ASONABLY ACCURATE AERODYNAMICS - THERE A
RE ALSO DIFFERENCES: THE TYPE OF MISSION
FLOWN, GRAPHICS AND SOUND RENDERINGS, W
EAPONS AVAILABLE, ETC. EACH HAS ITS OWN
REASONS FOR BEING AND EACH HAS ITS OWN
APPROACHES TO THE CONCEPT OF JET COMBAT.
.. THE FIRST JET SIMULATION OF NOTE
WAS F15 STRIKE EAGLE (FROM MICROPROSE AT
$29.95). THOUGH NEARING ITS THIRD BIRT
HDAY, F15 HOLDS UP REMARKABLY WELL, IN L
ARGE PART DUE TO THE TOPICALITY OF THE G
AME. THERE ARE SEVERAL MISSIONS PATTERN
ED AFTER REAL-WORLD EVENTS: ISRAEL'S "SU
RGICAL STRIKE" AGAINST A NUCLEAR REACTOR
IN IRAN, AND A RECENT UPDATE THAT EMULA
TES THE U.S. AIR STRIKE AGAINST LIBYA...
EACH MISSION HAS YOU SEEK OUT AND E
LIMINATE A PRIMARY GROUND TARGET. YOUR
WEAPONS AGAINST THIS TARGET ARE THE BOMB
S SLUNG UNDERNEATH YOUR AIRCRAFT. ALONG
THE WAY, YOU WILL FEND OFF ENEMY FIGHTE
RS WITH YOUR MISSILES AND CANNON, AND CO
NFUSE INCOMING SAM MISSILES WITH ELECTRO
NIC COUNTERMEASURES. YOU MAY ALSO TRY T
O DESTROY THE AIRFIELDS AND TACTICAL MIS
SILE SITES FROM WHICH THEY CAME. TO COM
PLETE THE MISSION, YOU MUST DESTROY THE
PRIMARY TARGET, RETURN TO YOUR BASE AND
LAND SAFELY... THERE ARE THREE APTIT
UDE LEVELS TO CHOOSE FROM WHEN FLYING WI
TH F15 STRIKE.EAGLE. THE SIMPLEST LEVEL
, ARCADE, SUSPENDS CERTAIN LAWS OF AEROD
YNAMICS IN ORDER TO MAKE THE FLYING EASI
ER FOR THOSE WHOSE MAIN INTEREST IS IN T
AKING OUT THE ENEMY. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN A
PILOT WISHES TO TURN HIS AIRCRAFT, HE M
UST TILT HIS AIRCRAFT IN THE DIRECTION O
F HIS TURN. THIS IS CALLED "BANKING".
IN ARCADE MODE, THOUGH, EVEN THE SHARPES
T TURNS ARE ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT HAVING
TO BANK THE AIRCRAFT... AS YOU PROGR
ESS TO THE TWO HIGHER LEVELS OF FLIGHT,
HOWEVER, THE DEGREE OF SIMULATION BECOME
S MUCH MORE INTENSE. WITH THE INCREASE
IN REALISM, THE LAWS OF AERODYNAMICS BEG
IN TO BE APPLIED: A TURN WILL CAUSE THE
HORIZON TO TILT AND IT MUST BE ACCOMPANI
ED BY AN INCREASE IN THRUST IF YOU ARE T
O MAINTAIN STABILITY AND ALTITUDE. THIS
WILL BECOME VERY IMPORTANT IN LINING UP
FOR BOMBING RUNS AND IN CONTROLLING YOU
R CRAFT FOLLOWING A HIT BY THE ENEMY...
THE STRONG POINTS OF F15 STRIKE EAGL
E LIE IN ITS UP-TO-DATE MISSIONS, VARIET
Y OF ARMAMENTS, REALISTIC FLIGHT CHARACT
ERISTICS IN THE HIGHER LEVELS OF PLAY, A
ND FULL-INFORMATION CONTROL PANEL. IF T
HERE ARE WEAKNESSES, THEY ARE IN THE LAC
K OF TAKEOFFS, THE LACK OF 3-D GRAPHICS
AND IN THE ERSATZ LANDING PROCEDURE, WHE
RE PROXIMITY ALONE ACCOMPLISHES THE ACT.
.. ALTHOUGH LEAVING OUT SOME OF THE
MORE COMPLEX FLIGHT ROUTINES, MICROPROSE
HAS MANAGED TO PRODUCE A REALISTIC FLIG
HT SIMULATOR WHILE KEEPING THE ACCENT ON
COMBAT ACTION... AFTER F15 STRIKE E
AGLE, WE HAD JET (FROM SUBLOGIC AT $44.9
5). WHEN JET FIRST APPEARED ON THE C64,
I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN THE GRAPHICS, THE
SOUND AND THE SPEED. SUBLOGIC HAS SINC
E TAKEN A CLOSER LOOK AT THE PROGRAM AND
RECENTLY RELEASED VERSION 2.0 WHICH ELI
MINATED THESE PROBLEMS... ALSO OPTIN
G FOR SIMPLICITY IN ORDER TO EMPHASIZE C
OMBAT FEATURES, SUBLOGIC DID NOT ATTEMPT
A FULL EMULATION OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS
. THEY INSTEAD SUBSTITUTED SOME NEW FLY
ING ROUTINES WE'D NOT SEEN BEFORE, USING
THEIR NOW-FAMOUS 3-D GRAPHIC DISPLAYS.
THEY ALSO MAINTAINED COMPATIBILITY WITH
THEIR FLIGHT SIMULATOR II SCENERY DISKS
... THE NEW FLYING ROUTINES INCLUDE
YOUR CHOICE OF FLYING AN F16 FALCON FROM
A GROUND BASE OR LAUNCHING AN F18 HORNE
T FROM THE DECK OF AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER.
HOWEVER, SHOULD YOU TAKE OFF FROM THE A
IRCRAFT CARRIER, YOU MUST ALSO RETURN TO
AND LAND ON THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER. ALL
THINGS BEING EQUAL, LAUNCHING FROM THE S
HIP IS RELATIVELY EASY, BUT LANDING...WE
LL, THAT REQUIRES A HIGH DEGREE OF SKILL
... IN JET, ALL INSTRUMENTATION IS T
REATED AS PART OF THE HEADS-UP DISPLAY.
SPEED AND ALTITUDE GAUGES RUN VERTICALL
Y ALONG THE SIDES OF THE SCREEN. A RADA
R SCREEN IS DISPLAYED AT LOWER CENTER AN
D, IN THE CENTER OF THE DISPLAY, IS A CI
RCULAR TARGETING DEVICE. OTHER VISIBLE
READOUTS KEEP YOU APPRISED OF SPEED, FUE
L AND ARMAMENTS... NO MATTER WHICH J
ET YOU CHOOSE TO FLY, THERE ARE TWO DIFF
ERENT COMBAT MISSIONS FOR EACH: A DOGFIG
HT, IN WHICH YOU WAIT TO BE ATTACKED BY
MIG-21S AND MIG-23S; OR A TARGET STRIKE,
IN WHICH YOU TRY TO DESTROY ENEMY SHIPS
OR FUEL DUMPS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS
A FREE FLIGHT MODE WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO S
IMPLY FLY ABOUT WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY
ABOUT ANYONE SHOOTING AT YOU... AS A
N EXTENSION TO THE FREE FLIGHT MODE, THE
RE IS ALSO A SCENERY DISK MODE WHICH ALL
OWS YOU TO FLY AROUND AS MUCH AS YOU LIK
E, BUT WITHOUT LETTING YOU SHOOT UP THE
WORLD TRADE TOWERS. (YOU CAN, HOWEVER,
GO BOOMING BETWEEN THEM AT MACH 1.5, MAK
E A TIGHT TURN AROUND THE EMPIRE STATE B
UILDING AND THEN BUZZ THE STATUE OF LIBE
RTY.).. RECOGNIZING THAT SOUND CHARA
CTERISTICS DIFFER ON THE C64 AND C128, T
HE NEW VERSION OF JET NOW ALLOWS YOU TO
TOGGLE BETWEEN TWO SOUND ROUTINES. TO B
OOST THE SPEED OF JET, TWO ROUTINES WERE
DEVELOPED. THE FIRST ALLOWS YOU TO TRAN
SFORM ALL SCENERY AND TARGET ITEMS FROM
SHADED TO WIRE-FRAME, AND THE SECOND ALL
OWS THE SHUTTING OFF OF ALL SCENERY. BE
CAUSE SCREEN UPDATING IS THUS MADE EASIE
R, ALL ACTIONS OCCUR AT A FASTER RATE...
THE STRONG POINTS OF JET ARE IN THE
RED-OUTS AND BLACK-OUTS THAT OCCUR AT N
EGATIVE OR HIGH FRAME LOADS; THE CONTROL
TOWER VIEW OF YOUR CRAFT; AN AVAILABLE
VIEW OF ALL DIRECTIONS FROM THE COCKPIT;
THE NEED FOR PRECISION IN CARRIER LANDI
NGS; AND THE FACT THAT YOUR AIRCRAFT CAN
TAKE ONLY ONE HIT FROM AN ENEMY MISSILE
. WHEN THE LATTER OCCURS, YOU HAVE ONLY
A FEW SECONDS TO HIT THE EJECT BUTTON..
. THE WEAK POINTS ARE IN THE APPEARA
NCE OF OTHER AIRCRAFT: DOTS THAT SIMPLY
DISAPPEAR WHEN THEY ARE HIT (THOUGH YOU
WILL, RARELY, SEE THEM ZIPPING BY CLOSE
AND FAST)... THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF
JET WAS A CURIOUS MIXTURE OF IMPRESSIVE
ROUTINES AND INEXCUSABLE FLAWS. THANKF
ULLY, SUBLOGIC LISTENED TO THEIR AUDIENC
E AND RESPONDED IN THEIR FAVOR. IF YOU'
VE NEVER FLOWN JET, A GOOD EXPERIENCE IS
OUT THERE WAITING FOR YOU; IF YOU HAVE
FLOWN IT, IT DESERVES A SECOND LOOK...
FOLLOWING CLOSE ON THE HEELS OF JET I
S JET COMBAT SIMULATOR (FROM EPYX, AT $2
9.95). ONCE AGAIN, THE WEAPON IS THE F1
5 EAGLE AND, AS WITH JET, THE ROUTINES U
SED TO SIMULATE HIGH SPEED FLIGHT ARE RE
VISIONS OF THE ONES USED IN THE PREVIOUS
RELEASE OF THE PROGRAM... ONCE YOU
MAKE YOUR TAKE-OFF, THE GROUND EXISTS ON
LY AS A GREEN AREA ON YOUR SCREEN. BECA
USE ALL THE ACTION TAKES PLACE IN THE SK
Y, GROUND DETAILS WERE LEFT OUT IN FAVOR
OF FASTER SCREEN UPDATING, SUCH AS IN T
HE NO-SCENERY MODE OF JET 2.0.........
THERE ARE SIX SCENARIOS IN JET COMBAT
:. 1) LANDING PRACTICE. 2)
FLIGHT TRAINING. 3) COMBAT PRACT
ICE. 4) COMBAT. 5) BLIND L
ANDING. 6) CROSSWINDS.. ALTHO
UGH ALL SCENARIOS ARE MENU-SELECTABLE, T
HE LATTER TWO CAN BE INVOKED BY A TOGGLE
SWITCH WHENEVER YOU FEEL LUCKY... F
OR EXAMPLE, DURING A DOGFIGHT, YOU CAN C
ALL UP CROSSWINDS TO MAKE THE FLIGHT MOR
E INTERESTING. OR, WHEN COMING HOME AFT
ER A HARD DAY OF ENEMY BASHING, YOU CAN
ELECT TO MAKE A BLIND LANDING. IN THIS
CASE, THERE IS NO VISIBLE HORIZON AND, U
NTIL YOU DESCEND BELOW FIFTY FEET, THE A
IRSTRIP IS NOT VISIBLE... THERE ARE
ALSO THREE SKILL LEVELS WITH JET COMBAT
SIMULATOR. RAISING THE SKILL LEVEL INCRE
ASES THE COMBAT PROFICIENCY OF YOUR OPPO
NENT, BOTH IN FLIGHT AND IN FIGHT. BE C
AREFUL HERE, FOR IN ALL BUT THE PRACTICE
MODE HE IS ALREADY QUITE GOOD... THE
CONTROL PANEL OF JET COMBAT CONTAINS AL
L YOUR INSTRUMENTS AND READOUTS; WHEN YO
U SWITCH TO COMBAT MODE, THE HEADS-UP DI
SPLAY CONSISTS OF ONLY A TARGETING DEVIC
E. WHILE THIS DIFFERS FROM THE PANEL IN
F15 STRIKE EAGLE (WILL THE REAL F-15 PL
EASE ROAR BY?), ALL NECESSARY DISPLAYS A
RE PRESENT... IF THERE IS A DRAWBACK
TO JET COMBAT, IT IS IN THE LACK OF WEA
PONS OTHER THAN CANNON, THUS MAKING ITS
FIGHTING ABILITIES NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FR
OM A WWII AIRPLANE... ON THE PLUS SI
DE, JET COMBAT STAGES EXCELLENT DOGFIGHT
S. IT ALSO REACTS QUICKLY, ALLOWING YOU
TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION SUCH AS ROLLS AN
D LOOPS. FURTHERMORE, IF YOU THINK IT'S
EASY TO LINE AN ENEMY UP IN YOUR SIGHTS
, OR EASY TO LAND A HIGH-SPEED AIRCRAFT,
JET COMBAT SIMULATOR IS GOING TO TEACH
YOU A FEW LESSONS... ONE OF THE MOST
EXCITING AIRCRAFT DESIGNS OF OUR TIME I
S THE HAWKER HARRIER. IT IS THE SUBJECT
OF A SIMULATION/GAME CALLED HIGH ROLLER
(FROM MINDSCAPE AT $29.95)... PRIOR
TO YOUR BOOTING THE GAME, A MADMAN OF T
HE NORTH AFRICAN DESERT (GUESS WHO?) DES
TROYED EVERY HARRIER BUT YOURS. YOUR MI
SSION IS TO CONDUCT A ONE-MAN RAID AGAIN
ST HIS HEADQUARTERS, PRESUMABLY WITH THE
IDEA OF TEACHING HIM A LESSON... HA
D THE DESIGNERS OF HIGH ROLLER ELECTED T
O FIELD ONLY A FLIGHT SIMULATOR BASED ON
THE UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HARRI
ER, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A VERY GOOD PROG
RAM. IN HOKING IT UP WITH A GAME SCENAR
IO THEY HAVE LESSENED THE IMPACT...
BESIDES VERTICAL TAKEOFF (ACCOMPLISHED B
Y SWIVELLING YOUR JETS DOWNWARD), THE HA
RRIER ALSO ALLOWS FOR TRICKY MANEUVERS D
URING A DOGFIGHT. THE MOST IMPRESSIVE I
S CALLED "VIFFING" - AN ACRONYM FOR VECT
OR IN FORWARD FLIGHT... VIFFING IS U
SED TO BREAK AWAY FROM ONE OF THE SCARIE
ST SITUATIONS A FIGHTER PILOT FACES: AN
ENEMY LOCKED ONTO YOUR TAIL. TO VIFF, Y
OU POINT THE JET NOZZLES DOWNWARD. THIS
HAS THE IMMEDIATE EFFECT OF DRASTICALLY
CUTTING YOUR AIRSPEED WHILE, AT THE SAM
E TIME, CAUSING YOUR CRAFT TO BALLOON UP
WARD. SUDDENLY, YOU ARE IN CONTROL, FOR
THE ENEMY HAS ZOOMED PAST YOU AND YOU A
RE NOW BEHIND AND ABOVE HIM... CONT
ROL IS BY BOTH KEYBOARD AND JOYSTICK; TH
E STICK CONTROLLING THE ATTITUDE OF YOUR
AIRCRAFT AND PROVIDING YOU WITH A FIRE
BUTTON. WEAPONS INCLUDE BOMBS, HEAT-SEE
KING MISSILES AND FLARES... WHILE TH
E COCKPIT IS WELL-DONE, THE GRAPHICS OUT
SIDE THE WINDSCREEN HAVE A FUZZY QUALITY
EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE 3-D. THIS IS TRUE
ONLY FOR THE AIR-TO-GROUND SEQUENCES, H
OWEVER. ONCE YOU GET ABOVE THE CLOUDS A
ND INTO DOGFIGHT TERRITORY, THE GRAPHICS
ARE QUITE WELL DONE... YOU CAN STAY
UP THERE AND PLAY THE GAME AS A DOGFIGH
T UNTIL, OF COURSE, YOU RUN OUT OF AMMUN
ITION. THEN YOU MUST PLAY OUT A SILLY S
CENARIO OF HAVING YOUR CREW ESTABLISH A
BASE AT WHICH YOU CAN LAND FOR FUEL, REA
RM YOUR AIRCRAFT, AND RECEIVE REPAIRS.
(I WONDER HOW THEY GOT SO FAR AHEAD OF Y
OU. WHAT AIRCRAFT ARE THEY FLYING?)..
THE STRENGTH OF HIGH ROLLER IS IN THE
DOGFIGHT SEQUENCES: AT LEAST HALF THE D
OCUMENTATION IS TAKEN UP BY WELL-DRAWN P
AGES ILLUSTRATING DOGFIGHTING TECHNIQUES
. AS MANY OF US WERE SHOWN IN "TOP GUN"
, THIS IS A NECESSARY ART THAT IS IN DAN
GER OF BEING LOST... THOUGH YOU CAN
USE CONVENTIONAL TAKE-OFFS AND LANDINGS,
THE UNPREPARED FIELDS OF HIGH ROLLER WI
LL NECESSITATE A GREAT MANY VERTICAL TRI
ES. THIS IS GOOD, FOR A DIFFERENT TYPE
OF REFLEX AND CONCENTRATION IS CALLED FO
R. MY ADVICE IS TO BUY HIGH ROLLER FOR
THE VTOL (VERTICAL TAKE-OFF AND LANDING)
ROUTINES AND THE DOGFIGHT SEQUENCES, FO
RGETTING THE SCENARIO AND LEAVING KHADAF
FI TO HIS OWN DEVICES... THERE IS NO
SINGLE BEST SIMULATOR BUT WE CAN CERTAI
NLY DESIGN ONE. (HINDSIGHT IS ALWAYS CL
EAR AND THOSE WHO EMULATE HAVE A CLEAR A
DVANTAGE OVER THOSE WHO INNOVATE.) IT S
HOULD HAVE THE COMBINED AIR/GROUND MISSI
ONS AND WEAPONS SYSTEMS OF F15 STRIKE EA
GLE; THE CARRIER TAKEOFFS, REALISTIC SOU
ND AND 3-D GRAPHICS OF JET; THE SPEED AN
D THE TURBULENCE FACTORS OF JET COMBAT S
IMULATOR; AND THE CLEAR DOGFIGHT SEQUEN
CES IN HIGH ROLLER... UNTIL SOME PRO
GRAMMER LAYS IT ALL ON THE LINE AND BRIN
