The intro sequence to Longbow 2. While not reflecting the graphical quality of the sim, or any sim at the time, it did evoke the right atmosphere !

Longbow 2 succeeds in immersing you totally in it's world and to me this is the most important characteristic of a Combat Flight Sim.

Not because of the the fancy graphics effects, although it has that, not the fast scrolling and detailed terrain, although it has that, not the detailed weapons systems, although it has that, not the great sound effects and radio traffic, although it has that too.... it's that indefinable balance of elements, the "artistry", which first addicts, frustrates and then exhilarates.
