Official Description (Ad Blurb)

Take charge of one of five military control sections, including Edwards and Nellis AFB, Pensacola NAS, and others.

Online aircraft reference guide gives you performance parameters and ordnance loads.

Electronic fighterships signal each aircraft's intentins.

Zoom to a Precision Approach Radar (PAR) screen to guide your aircraft all the way down to touchdown.### Handling a jet fighter is tough.Handling ten of them is far tougher.Controlling twenty-five high performance aircraft...in deteriorating weather... with unreliable equipment...and green pilots...

From the creators of TRACON, the best-selling air traffic control simulator, comes RAPCON, a rich and comprehensive simulation of the high-stakes world of military Radar APproach CONtrol. Forget Cessnas, Pipers, and Boeings. Here you get F14 and F16 fighters from Tactical Air Command bases, SAC-based B-52s, and the latest high-tech experimental machines filling the skies at Edwards - each flown by a hot-dog who thinks he is the ultimate Top Gun.

The radar scope sweeps a fifty-mile radius until you separate and vector each aircraft onto final approach. Then activate the Precision Approach Radar for tight guidance commands right down to touchdown. Pop up a detail window anytime to get more information about any aircraft (is that B-1 carrying nuclear bombs on a collision course with the aero club's Cessna 152?). And during all this, your equipment intermittently fails, the field is getting "socked in," a pilot is screaming he lost an engine, and you're trying to "keep the picture." Can You?
