Author's Description: Vertigo is a flight simulation with
focus on realism of the flight model.
Several aircraft are modelled: F-14 Tomcat, F-4U Corsair, F-104 Starfighter, U-2, Harrier, SAAB MFI-17, X-15, Lunar Lander
Situation includes carrier landings high altitude test flights,
moon landing, gun target practice and more.
The simulation is fairly complete, but there are zillions of ways to enhance it.

Public Opinion Overall Rating: 9.1 8awesome. very detailed and realistic except for the graphics but anyway it still loks great. Now I know what a flight simulator could have looked like some years ago. Only things to criticize: no support for Windows XP and difficult(but realistic) steering. 8Very impressive program! It would be nice, though, to not have to restart every time I crash. The learning curve is pretty steep as it is :-). 8Although it is not graphically advanced, the flight model is highly accurate, and gives the player a good idea of how difficult it can be to pilot modern aircraft. Controls and shortcut keys seem a little cluttered, but that might just be me.
