F-22 Lightning II
NovaLogic: The Art of War released F-22 Lightning II for IBM PC MS-DOS in September of 1996. F-22 was designed and coded by Randy Casey.
In F-22 Lightning 2 players pilot the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor of the U.S. Air Force. F-22 Lightning 2 is notable for its virtual cockpit and full-screen multi-function displays.
The banking ability and general maneuverabilityof the F-22 Raptor is insane... before F-22 I never saw such hard banking in flight simulators.
F-22 Lightning 2 displays in square-pixel 256-color VESA 2.0 VBE SVGA 640x480. F-22 Lightning 2 employs page-flipping and a hazing routine that reduces texture-rendering demands. Graphics-wise, F-22 was the Quake of flight sims in 1996.
F-22 Lightning 2 requires an i80486DX4-100 MHz CPU and 8 megs of RAM.
F-22 Lightning 2 music supports General MIDI, Sound Blaster 8-bit / OPL2, Sound Blaster 16-bit / OPL3 and Sound Blaster AWE-32. F-22 Lightning 2 digital audio supports Sound Blaster 1.0, Sound Blaster 2.0, Sound Blaster Pro, Sound Blaster 16, Sound Blaster AWE-32, Microsoft Sound System, Crystal CS4232 / TBS2000.
F-22 Lightning 2 was distributed on 1x CD-ROM and extracts and installs to hard disk drive via F-22 Lightning 2 Installation Program. The install size is 33 megs and consists of 13 files. 350 megs of FMV is read from the CD-ROM.
