Title - Jetfighter 2 Release Date - 1990 Developer - Velocity Publisher - Collection - Comments - This was one of the first Flight sims I saw on the PC. In 1988, an unknown Macintosh developer called Velocity premiered a flight simulation called Jetfighter 1 The success of this program lead Velocity to take it seriously and they released two years later a sequel: Jetfighter 2. This was one of the first Flight sims I saw on the PC. I remember teaching a friend of mine how to turn on to the bogey using the Immelman and Split-S. Another acquaintance who flew air cargo for a living, had a 486 (supercomputer of the early 1990's), Thrustmaster Weapons Control System Mk II and a Flight Control System Mark I hooked up to a huge sound system. I showed him how to land on the carrier and use the HUD and Radar to dogfight. I'll never forget the buzz I got from lining up on the carrier- adjusting the throttle and hearing that roaring, buzzing sound of the engine as it spooled up and down in smooth response. Man, this felt like flying! It couldn't get any better than this !!		"Man, this felt like flying! It couldn't get any better than this !!"
