The AI is worth noting here as their skills, threats and capabilities can be adjusted to suit your
comfort and experience
It also implements another useful and interesting feature - the "Hawkeye" view. This is used in place of the padlock view found in today's modern simulation software. Though good in it's implementation, it lacks a missile padlock view which would tell you where they are instead of relying on your instrumentation alone.Furthermore there are limited commands you can send to your Wingman unlike EF2000 or Falcon 3.0. What of realism you say? Well, a certain pro-simulation establishment recently had the opportunity of servicing the local AF pilots with ThrustMaster's F16 HOTAS had this to say : "According the them (the real F-16 pilots), aside from the slightly less than perfect flight envelope of B2B, it's almost as good as (flying) the real thing." Nuff said. |
 Side view with Atrox Graphics upgrade. In all honesty, B2B is a sim you'll learn to love after you get a good understanding of the avionics and past the relatively steep learning curve. It also requires a little patience as there are long loading times. In conclusion - if you've got the USD $99.00 (street price) to spend on this, it's well worth it. If you're inclined to shoot-em-ups or quick arcadish sims, this is not one for you. MiGMan thanks Bob Roberts of www.sim-arena.com >> 2004 update - web page is gone << for sharing his insights! |
