Looking for more ?sim? in your flight-sim? Sega?s AM2 team brings you Aero Elite, the toughest and most exacting console flight sim since Pilotwings.
It?s been a while since a console flight sim really demanded that you learn how to fly a plane, but Aero Elite: Combat Academy will do just that. You?ll have to know when to throttle up, when to bank left or right, and just how hard to push the plane in a vertical loop while trying to escape an enemy missile. Aero Elite will put you in the cockpits of over 60 aircraft, including a wide selection of fighters, bombers, and helicopters from the past and present of aviation. You?ll use real-world weapons, and realistic physics will enable you to experience flight like the real pilots do. A two-player split-screen mode will test your skills in a dogfight.Thankfully, a huge part of Aero Elite is its deep training mode, already impressive (and daunting) in the preview version. All of the game?s controls seemed intact and precise in the early build, and let it be known that this game isn?t for the part-time backyard pilot. You?ll have to know pitch from yaw, collective from throttle, and more in order to master this sim-academy.
