Enter the world of jet dogfighting! Where powerful afterburners glow bright, steely-eyed pilots strain against crushing G forces and cutting-edge weapons systems deal death in the close-in knife fight.
Birds of Prey is a revolutionary jet combat game simulating flight with unprecedented precision and engrossing play. Flight mechanics allow freedom in three dimensions without requiring special maneuver rules. Physics-based systems model aircraft performance differences correctly and simply through the use of only two elegant playaids; graphical computers known as nomograms. Missiles fly out towards their targets without player intervention, using proper kinematics from launch and flowing seamlessly into the underlying flight engine.
