F/A-18 Hornet is a combat flight simulator for Macintosh‚Ñ¢ and Power Macintosh‚Ñ¢ computers.
Features:
• Incredibly fast and fluid graphics provide an exceptional sense of motion. Atmospheric effects, like haze on distant mountains, amber sunsets, and stars at night, create uncanny realism.
• Accurate flight dynamics closely simulate the Navy's F/A-18 Hornet attack-fighter aircraft. Exceptionally detailed instrumentation is based on the real thing.
• Ordnance includes the heat-seeking AIM9 "Sidewinder," the active radar guided AIM-120, the TV guided APG-65 "Maverick," and a host of other mud-moving weaponry.
• Sophisticated enemy pilot artificial intelligence provides a constant challenge. They fly simulated aircraft just as you do. You must hone your pilot skills to survive.
• Connect up to four computers via AppleTalk™ network for multiple-player action.†
• Radio voice messages from the ground and the air keep you constantly aware.†† The Landing Signal Officer (LSO) watches your carrier approach and remarks on your situation. Your wingman relays crucial battle information during aerial combat.
• Perform aircraft carrier "traps" just like Navy pilots. A working "meatball" and an Instrument Landing System help you bring it home after a successful mission — contact the LSO and he'll talk you down.
• Includes six training missions in Hawaii, six network missions in Arizona, and twenty-eight combat missions in the Persian Gulf.
†Network play requires each player to own F/A-18 Hornet.
††Speech options require 8MB RAM.
