Over 3.5 million square miles (more than 300 Meg!) of
real-world terrain compiled from numerous government
databases.
Thousands of objects directly integrated into the
scenery.
Even power lines are placed based on geographical
surveys. You can follow them from city to city, power
station to station.
Scores of ground targets and objects to attack.
Airports accurately placed and modeled. Takeoff and
land at airports that exist in the real world. Airports
feature complete lighting systems including VASI (Visual
Approach Slope Indicator) lights.
Explore real towns, cities, and metropolitan centers
complete with buildings and skyscrapers.
Stunning scenery. No two areas are the same. Featuring
different distinctive types: Plains, Snow, Hills,
Ice-capped mountains, Islands, Forest, Swamp, Rivers,
Coasts, Farms, Desert, Valleys, Grassland.
COMBAT AND ACTION:
Over 90 intense missions with detailed briefings and
debriefings.
Missions take place in a dynamic world-at-war with
combat air patrols and strike fighter wings carrying on
battles all around the region.
Fly the F-22N Lightning II and the F/A-18 Hornet. You
choose which aircraft is best for the job.
Full arsenal of weapons including: Sidewinders,
AMRAAMs, Mk82 bombs, Mk84 bombs, Maverick missiles, and the
Vulcan cannon.
Intelligent enemy AI for incredible dogfights and
challenging missions. Enemy pilots use team tactics,
countermeasures, evasive maneuvers, advanced offensive
attack schemes. Wait until you experience the heartbreak of
watching an enemy aircraft spoof your last missile with a
chaff cartridge! Time to switch to guns!
Stage attacks on moving surface ships. But be careful,
they can defend themselves with deadly AAA and treacherous
SAMs.
Jump in and start flying right away. No formal flight
training or in-depth study is necessary. JetFighter III is
easy to learn, but hard to master.
Active wingman carries out your commands. Send him to
take out a SAM site while you attack the target.
Watch friendly forces defend themselves using AAA and
SAMs.
Stay low to the ground to avoid flak bursts. The
concussions will rock your aircraft and can damage your
flight controls.
GRAPHICS:
Sophisticated rendering system provides an intense
feeling of speed with no warping textures.
Dynamic time-of-day effects. The darkened sky slowly
lightens to blue in the morning and brightens at noon. Dusk
draws the curtain of night over the world.
Watch the sun and moon rise and set in the sky. At
night, stars fill the darkened sky.
Transparent clouds with several different types
simulate clear, cloudy and overcast conditions.
Fire, smoke haze and other visual effects.
Fly over cities at night. Check out the skyscraper and
building windows with their lights on.
AAA tracer fire snakes its way up to your aircraft.
Realistic translucent missile trails.
3DNA Sequencing[S1](. New graphics programming
technology based on natural variability, Dynamic Nexus
Architecture allows us to interlink realistic elements to
accurately model diverse scenery. This technique uses
fractal prediction to enhance the texture art resolution
and provide a remarkably clear image without the warping
found in other simulations.
TEXTUREAL(. Special effects technology that uses
image-specific data to effectively and efficiently
match-edge textures without loss of detail or mirrored
pattern effects.
MIP-mapping to better handle the naturally occurring
aliasing found in 3D simulations.
Real-time light-source shading.
Distant haze effects.
Both the F-22N Lightning II and the F/A-18 Hornet have
moving control surfaces. Switch to the external view to
check out the ailerons, rudders, flaps, weapons bays and
speedbrake.
Four resolution levels: 320x200, 640x350, 640x400,
640x480.
Three screen sizes: 100% full screen, 80% letterboxed,
60% letterboxed.
A MULTITUDE OF VIEWS:
The easiest, most intuitive viewing system in any
simulator.
Super-smooth virtual cockpit allows you to 'look'
wherever you point the joystick.
Smooth panning external views let you check out the
custom decal you just put on the tail of your F-22N.
Wingman view allows you to track your wingman's
actions. Watch him launch his Mavericks at a target, or
dispense flares to spoof an incoming IR missile.
Use Missile view to track the flight of your weapons.
Watch your Mavericks weave their way to the target.
Tactical view keeps your current target in sight at all
times, from interior or exterior perspectives.
Use the fly-by view to see just how expansive the
JetFighter scenery is!
10 external cameras positioned around the aircraft
carrier provide awesome views of cat launches and traps.
From the Cat Officer view you can watch the Jet Blast
Deflectors lower after an F-18 makes a full afterburner cat
launch.
If you can land your aircraft and catch the 3-wire
while using LSO view, you deserve a medal!
Don't forget to use the view controls after you have
ejected!
You can even program your favorite external view angles
and recall them later.

The carrier actually pitches and rolls as it moves
across the sea.
Cinematic interface allows you to explore your carrier
environment.
Realistic carrier takeoffs and landings.
Career Pilot Statistics. Keep track of your performance
throughout the life of your game.
Meticulously modeled carrier including jet blast
deflectors.
Complete mission-by-mission statistics compiled in your
Debriefing.
