Jet Combat Simulator (1985) Jet Combat Simulator, also released under the title Fighter Pilot, is a realistic flight combat simulator that places the player in the cockpit of a modern jet fighter over a sprawling 15,000-square-mile combat zone. Developed by Digital Integration and published by Epyx, the game provides an immersive 1st-person perspective with a detailed cockpit display replicating an F-15’s instrumentation, including airspeed, vertical velocity, and radar. Players must master the skills of takeoff, navigation, and mid-air combat. Enemy engagements test not only dogfighting ability but also your understanding of avionics and targeting systems. Advanced settings allow for added realism, such as blind flying, crosswinds, and air turbulence, offering a more demanding simulation for experienced players. Gameplay includes both combat and training modes, with a navigable map to assist in mission planning. The title stands out for its early attempt to accurately model jet flight dynamics and tactical engagements, making it a solid entry in the early generation of flight sims.
