About this game

F-16 Combat Pilot puts you in command of an F-16C Fighting Falcon across a range of missions, including dogfights, bombing raids, and reconnaissance operations. Before takeoff, you can plot a route using waypoints on the tactical map and optionally choose your aircraft’s armament.

As your flight experience grows, you can lead entire squadrons in Operation Conquest, a fictional campaign that simulates a broader war theater. The game is noted for its dynamic campaign environment, while its instruments and flight dynamics provide a detailed simulation of the F-16C. Graphics, scenery, and audio are comparatively sparse. Multiplayer duels are supported through modem or serial-link connections.
