The golden age of combat flight simulation returns today. F-22: Air Dominance Fighter is now available on Steam, published by MicroProse and originally developed by Digital Image Design.

First released in 1997 and widely regarded as one of the defining combat flight sims of its era, F-22: Air Dominance Fighter blended deep avionics modelling and a dynamic battlefield with accessibility and immediacy. It allowed players not only to pilot the world’s most advanced jet fighter, but also to command the wider air war through its pioneering AWACS mode—observing the theatre in real time, vectoring aircraft, and jumping directly into the cockpit of any F-22 when needed.

Now, this landmark simulation returns—faithfully preserved, carefully enhanced, and fully compatible with modern systems.

The Steam release remains true to the original design philosophy while introducing meaningful upgrades for today’s audience:

The elements that made F-22: Air Dominance Fighter a standout in 1997 are fully intact:

Upon its original release, the game was celebrated for pushing the boundaries of combat flight simulation, earning critical acclaim and a devoted following. Its combination of systemic depth, large-scale warfare, and player agency helped define what many still consider the golden era of PC flight sims.

With its release on Steam, F-22: Air Dominance Fighter invites both veteran pilots and a new generation of players to experience a defining chapter in flight simulation history.

Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition – Winter Update & DLC Trailer

Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition’s Winter free update has delivered fresh custom content tools for creating your own CPU lords, castles and trails!

This new Winter update continues the trend of featuring both free and paid DLC content. The free content consists of a fresh co-op campaign for you to wage war with a friend, a new pack of unique maps to leave your mark on, and last but far from least, an external custom Lord and Castle Editor which gives players the freedom to create their own custom CPU opponents, scenarios, and castles! Hopefully those vocal players who yearn for an even greater challenge will finally meet their match against powerful enemies of their own design.

The paid DLC meanwhile will introduce two distinct CPU Lords in the form of The Sergeant and The Lioness, each with specialised tactics and military goals, along with a 9-mission skirmish trail – The Trail of the Cobra – to push players to reach new strategic heights.

This tutorial will take you on a tour of these new editors and guide you through the necessary steps to crafting the custom Stronghold Crusader experience of your dreams.

The ‘Castle & CPU Lord Editor’ lets you design your perfect custom lord and their fearsome fortress – and even edit the stats and castles of existing lords, too. After updating the game, you can find this tool via the Steam Library! The ‘Custom Trail Maker’ is part of the base game, and you can find it in the Map Editor! Devise challenging skirmish trails of up to 50 missions, and share them with your friends to test their mettle.

You’ll need to download the brand new base-game update for Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition first, and then launch the game to check you’re on the latest version. You’ll also need to restart Crusader: DE after using the ‘Castle & CPU Lord Editor’, so Steam can sync your custom CPUs and castles to the game.

Combat Mission Shock Force 2: Battle Pack is available now on Steam for $9.99.

This new DLC expands the modern warfare sandbox of Combat Mission Shock Force 2 with a focused collection of intense, small-scale engagements set in the turbulent aftermath of a hypothetical NATO invasion of Syria.

Damascus has fallen, but the war is far from over. Across the country, regime loyalists, isolated military units, and local militias continue to resist occupying forces. Some are determined to fight to the last man, while others prepare for a prolonged insurgency. In this unstable environment, every engagement is volatile and tactical decision-making is critical.

Battle Pack places players directly into these flashpoints, emphasizing asymmetric warfare and hard-fought combat in both urban and rural terrain.

The DLC includes four new campaigns and seven standalone scenarios, ranging from insurgent raids on exposed mortar positions to neighbourhood militias clashing over humanitarian aid. These scenarios are designed to offer varied tactical challenges and strong replayability.

For scenario designers, the DLC includes five large and detailed master maps based on real Syrian locations, supporting custom scenario creation and advanced mission design.

You can also expand your gaming experience by purchasing the DLCs: Marines, British Forces and NATO Forces, discounted by 30% in this bundle.

A 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.

Gaijin Entertainment is happy to announce that Aces of Thunder is out on Steam and PlayStation. Aces of Thunder is a realistic air combat simulation game with unmatched immersion and stunning visuals that look perfect both with and without VR HMDs.

Aces of Thunder Launch Trailer

Aces of Thunder allows the players to fly a selection of legendary aircraft from World War II, including Mustang, Bf 109, Fw 190, Yak‑9T, IL‑2, A6M3 Zero, as well as Great War icons like the Fokker Dr.I and SPAD S.XIII. All these aircraft feature authentic flight and damage models, with highly detailed cockpits and armament, and are available right from the start.

Online battles take the players to key theaters of war, from Western and Eastern Europe to the Pacific across 15 atmospheric maps. Engage in intense online duels against pilots from around the world, play through the “War Tales” campaign, or hone your skills in single player missions, inspecting your aircraft in the hangar between sorties. The battles take place exclusively from the cockpit view to provide ultimate immersion, and the game fully supports a variety of input methods including HOTAS.

There are two editions of Aces of Thunder available for purchase: Standard and Deluxe. If you purchase the Standard edition, you can upgrade to Deluxe later. The Deluxe Edition, in addition to the base game and the core selection of legendary aircraft, gives access to five extra iconic machines: F4U‑4, Spitfire Mk Ia, Hurricane Mk IV, SBD‑3 and P‑40E‑1.

MicroProse has announced that the MicroProse B-17G for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is now available on the official Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace for PC and Xbox.

The B-17G brings the iconic Flying Fortress to the Marketplace ecosystem, making it easier than ever for sim pilots on both platforms to purchase, install, and fly directly through Microsoft’s platform.

If you’ve been following development, you may know the initial plan was to bring the B-17G to a more mature state before releasing an Xbox version. After assessing the aircraft’s current status on console, MicroProse decided it didn’t make sense to delay the release. The B-17G is therefore launching on both PC and Xbox at the same time, with updates delivered to both versions going forward.

To thank the community for its patience, and since the company was unable to release the B-17G in Early Access on the Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace, MicroProse is offering a time-limited launch discount during the first week. For one week only, the price will be reduced from USD $39.99 to USD $33.49.
