JetFighter III
Description
The Jetfighter series returns once again, albeit this time it is released by Mission Studios, a spin-off from Velocity, the original developers of this franchise. While once again the battle is against a drug lord, it takes place over South America instead of the U.S. West Coast as in its predecessors. The campaign is structure similar to Strike Commander/Wing Commander, where the scripted missions are linked by a intricate story. The player is a pilot aboard an aircraft carrier, and can move around various places about the ship between each mission.
Jetfighter III features terrain generated from satellite data, with geographically correct cities, roads, and airports. Flyable jets include the F/A-18 and the naval F-22N.
A later patch allowed for 3DFX support.

Seems playable, but the flight simulations need improvements.
The Good
There are some interactive virtual reality scenes which are point and click. Which is obvious for a flight simulator game for DOS from 1997. I think it either uses the arrow keys or just by clicking on stuff for mission briefings etc.
The Bad
The flight simulations has some minor flaws which needed to be corrected in that case. Some of the controls are non-usable and that means you can't do anything on it except for just a few controls.
The Bottom Line
For those who want a flight simulator for DOS then this is the one! However, if you want to interact with the controls using the mouse, and for Windows compatibility, then I would suggest Falcon 4.0, but for me, either one of them works best.
