I enjoyed watching the wings sweep back and the control surfaces moving as the F14 made various manouvers. At 1024x768 the aircraft look good, and anti-aliasing is barely a concern.

This view and external carrier views also give you the sound of wind and waves, very effective ambience!

Notice how much the zoom level has increased in the above shot. Flanker lets you get down and dirty and zoom can be increased much further than this yet.

By now you might be thinking that these are some of the best looking jet aircraft ever seen in a sim. You would be right! All settings were maxed out and test system is an AMD K6-3 450 with 128 MB.

Although I haven't included a shot here, a nice view addition is CTL F1, which is the natural movement of the pilot's head in the direction of aircraft motion. So, as you bank left, your pilot will anticipate the need for looking ahead of where the aircraft will be. Works great!
