PC CLASSICS - SU-27 Flanker (Special Edition)

SU-27 FLANKER (Special Edition)

Developed in Russia, SSI's Su-27 Flanker is one of the most elaborate and realistic flight simulators ever released. It's also tough to master and very unforgiving, and you'll have to spend some time to learn to fly it right.
Sukhoi's Su-27 is one of Russia's front-line air superiority fighters. Its state-of-the art features include a complex fly-by-wire system, great maneuverability, “jam-proof” radar, helmet-mounted target designator, and standoff look-down/shoot-down capabilities. Plus, the well-designed air frame and set of engines give it good stability and the ability to perform some awesome maneuvers.
Su-27 brings the Flanker to life with detailed, clean graphics (though some might call them “plain”), showing all moving control surfaces and providing some sweet explosions. Flight modeling is second to none, with handling characteristics that feel like the real thing. Enemies are smart, and the network of SAM batteries and enemy aircraft that oppose you on any mission make for some thick action.
Missions are controlled from a stark main menu based around a map of Crimea, where the action takes place. You can edit all mission parameters (loadout, wingmen, even threats), making for a high degree of control over each mission and allowing you to create your own scenarios.
At the risk of provoking cries of “heresy!” from flight sim nuts, I'd say it's better than Falcon 3.0. It's that good.
