F-22: Air Dominance Fighter Returns — Releasing Soon on Steam
Posted

f-22-air-dominance-fighterA true icon of the 1990s golden age of combat flight simulation is preparing for takeoff once again. F-22: Air Dominance Fighter, originally developed by Digital Image Design, is releasing soon on Steam, published by MicroProse—a name synonymous with some of the most respected and influential PC flight simulations ever made.

Originally renowned for striking a rare balance between accessibility and authenticity, F-22: Air Dominance Fighter puts players in control of one of the most advanced jet fighters ever conceived. More than a cockpit experience, the game also allows players to command the wider air war as an AWACS controller—overseeing the entire theatre, directing allied aircraft, observing every engagement in real time, and instantly jumping into the cockpit of any F-22 when the situation demands it.

Set in a vast, target-rich Red Sea theatre, the game offers over 90 missions across seven campaigns, ranging from stealth interception and air superiority to airfield attacks and naval strikes. Deeply modelled avionics, radar, and flight dynamics deliver a convincing sense of realism, while intuitive controls ensure players can jump straight into the action.
