The catapult officer calls for full afterburner. 50,000 pounds of thrust spools behind you as your F-14 strains for release. Less than three seconds later your Tomcat screams through the air at 150 knots. You climb to meet your wingman, then head off to join the fight.

Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 22 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

A good old flight simulator.
i used to play this on my old 486 machine in the 90's great game
Tolles Spiel! Ich habe Fleet Defender damals sehr intensiv gespielt und auch heute noch ist die Faszination für diese fliegenden Waffe ungebrochen. Sehr schön ist die nicht zu komplizierte Handhabung des AWG Radars. ABER: Bitte bitte bitte, wenn ihr so ein Spiel verkauft, dann konfiguriert die DOSBOX gefälligst richtig! Vor allem die Soundblaster-Werte sollten stimmen. Der DMA Kanal ist auf 1 in der DOSBOX konfiguriert, aber das Spiel erwartet den Kanal 3, dadurch funktioniert die Sprachausgabe nicht und den Joystick einfach auf automatisch zu stellen hat mir noch bei keinem DOS Flugsimulator geholfen. Hier am besten 4AXIS verwenden und die Achsen 3 und 4 tauschen.

i got this game after watching top gun because i forgot dcs existed
How do I get this to work with the steam controller...I cannot get it to work.
Not a bad sim, but a lot of people are gonna be in for a surprise with how difficult this game actually is. Learning the controls will take a good while, which isn't made any better by the fact that the manual is wrong in quite a few places.
This game is attempting to access my microphone multiple times per minute almost every day. I dont have the game installed by the way...
Its a classic but Jet fighter 3 and USNF gold I think were better. So is f19
Graphics are not as good as the first Nintendo game.
I think one of the most popular planes on DCS is the F-14. If you're poor and either don't have a PC good enough for DCS or simply don't own the F-14 itself you can get this older game for 6.99 dollars! Wow thats a lot! Another game I got from a bundle along with other old Microprose simulators. So is it good? Well yes! Its not as good as the B-17 The Might 8th simply because that one is much more modern so its easiler to get into but its not as bad as the F-117 and F-19 games because those are impossible to get into due to how old they are. In here in the campaings you need to take off which is an immediate issue because I still do not know how to get the engines going. Fortunately that does not stop you from playing the game. You can do some quick missions by choosing the enemy plane and just fighting against them you can choose what altitude both of you start in so you never need to take off. There are some training missions too which start you in the air and make you fight against both friendly and enemy planes in either 1v1 or 1v2 settings. There is some actual campaings but like I said I didn't play them cuz I have no clue what buttons are for throttle and obviously I can't take off if I don't know that so I can never do the missions. +The cockpit looks really nice. +The buttons seem to be a bit easier compared to the F-117 and F-19 games. Shooting your guns and shooting missiles is very easy. If I'm noting this down as a positive point in the review you can guess just how little I played lol. +Thankfully unlike F-117 and F-19 in certain missions you can start in the air with your engines already on. I have no clue if they're at 100% power or not but they work. Good luck figuring out how to start your engines and raise/lower power. -Very old, hard to get into but thankfully not as hard as F-117 or F-19. Still harder then B-17 The Mighty 8th. Once you do get it working its fun. See in the previous two games you didn't really have any options. In which game have you ever seen a stealth fighter called F-19? Or in which game did you ever get to use an F-117? Not a lot I bet. But an F-14? You got DCS if you want a simulator experience and you got War Thunder if you want a less realistic experience. I'm giving this a thumbs up cuz I just really like old games but that doesn't mean you should buy it. Go for something modern instead.
