JETPilot simulates two legendary aircraft — the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter and the English Electric Lightning — with flight characteristics calibrated to within ten percent of their real-world performance. Control systems can be set as simply or as complexly as the player prefers, and the aircraft respond accordingly. Twenty qualification missions span a geographic range from Scotland to the Mediterranean, demanding situational awareness and precision under realistic air traffic conditions. Radio communications with ground control are fully integrated, from weather reports to detailed ground-controlled approaches, and the engine audio is tuned to put the player as close to the cockpit experience as a desktop simulator allows.
