Flight Commander 2

Flight Commander 2 is a video game in the strategy genre developed by Big Time Software, Inc. and published by Sunflowers Interactive Entertainment Software GmbH originally released in 1995. It is currently playable on Mac, Windows 3.x.

Flight Commander 2, released in 1995, was the second installment in the Flight Commander franchise developed by Sublogic Corporation. It provided gamers with an upgraded version of its predecessor, offering more detailed flight simulation technology and a significantly more immersive experience.

Players of Flight Commander 2 can choose from a range of aircraft, from a Piper Cub to a B-2 stealth bomber, and they'll find an even wider selection of flight missions available for completion. Missions range from complex navigation tasks such as undertaking route plotting in order to photograph specific land masses, to engaging in air-to-air combat with opposing pilots.

Unlike realistic flight simulators, Flight Commander 2 offers a highly arcade focused experience. Flight rules such as wing profile, drag, G-loads and stalls are all disregarded in favour of rapid-fire dog-fighting and test pilot style acrobatics. While this allows for high levels of thrill and excitement during play, it does mean that the title lacks the realism that hardcore flight simulation fans may be expecting.

A range of archaeological and engineering projects are also available in Flight Commander 2, allowing players to explore and complete objectives in an array of environments. Archaeological enthusiasts can get involved in adventure-style missions, which require them to track down and excavate valuable items and fossils without incurring damage. Those looking for a more technical challenge can take advantage of the game's wide range of engineering projects, which involve the use of satellites and robotics.

Flight Commander 2 is an entertaining and surprisingly well-crafted entry in the flight simulator genre. It's easy to pick up and a great choice for gamers looking for a light-hearted yet challenging flying experience. Players won't have to worry about mastering realistic flight rules, as the accessible and arcade-focused gameplay lets them get right into the action.
