F-15 Strike Eagle III
F-15 Strike Eagle 3 was a ground breaking simulation of the premier Strike Fighter.
The CD ROM reissue contained state of the art video sequences, tutorials and a 27 minute History of the Strike Eagle. The Briefing covered your Primary and Secondary targets and possible threats.
You flew from the Front seat (Pilot) and the back seat (Weapon Systems Officer)... the term "back-seat-driver" took on new connotations afer this! It was an excellent sim for co-op multiplay. . I once assembled a 2 - seater cockpit front/Back to play it. I had my
cockpit
in front and a contraption made out of bricks, chairs, wood and a monitor behind - with a second computer connected by null-modem cable.
Unfortunately I couldn't find anyone capable of playing it so I spent a couple of days running from the front to the back seat flying it myself! It was a great buzz to sit in the "back" and peer around the monitor - ejection seat - at the view out of the front "canopy".
The 7 MFD's could display 12 different readouts....and you could store your own preferences for Navigation, Air to Air and Air to Ground modes.
AIM-7 Sparrows and Mk84 iron bombs

The Briefing Room had detailed target info and maps.
If you have a fast 386 or any 486 there is still plenty of fun to be had in this sim.
