A History of Military Flight Simulations on the PC
by Len "Viking 1" Hjalmarson The New Millennium As the year progressed Infogrames released Eurofighter Typhoon possibly the last in a long line of simulation classics from the Digital Image Design stable. Eurofighter Typhoon is a great looking simulation of the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, and the game, like the earlier version EF 2000, is set back in the fjords of Iceland in 2015. Russia has invaded Latvia and Lithuania, NATO protests and the war escalates in Europe. Iceland is of vital strategic importance for resupply of Europe and Russia sets out to capture the island. With Eurofighter Typhoon Digital Image Design took their real time dynamic campaign system and their WARGEN campaign AI and notched up the realism to include dynamic resource management. Furthermore, the campaign runs in real time whether the player participates or not. |
In fact, Eurofighter Typhoon has only one mode: the campaign mode. There are no single or quick missions and there is no mission builder. The single mode approach works fairly well, with the player tracking six pilots through the campaign. The life and death of these pilots determines the player’s success in the conflict. | |
