Dogfight: 80 Years of Aerial Warfare

Dogfight: 80 Years of Aerial Warfare PC Game is a very simple retro flight sim that, as the name suggests, focuses primarily on dogfighting — each of the 12 planes on offer has a “mission” that you can plan and fly. , and many of these carry out a ground attack. The flight model is a non-story – although it varies tremendously from plane to plane – and the cockpits are much simpler than the real thing. Navigation and aiming are also heavily dependent on external “Tacti-View” views and/or MicroProse’s multi-angle “Heads-Up” view; good for older aircraft, but some newer aircraft could really do with a properly fitted multi-function display.
It’s a game full of flaws but still great if you want some retro flight sim action. There are much better games than the MicroProse stable, but since most of them focus on a single plane, none are as diverse.
Note that DOSBox’s default settings for the game run it like a complete dog; set cputype as 486_slow in DOSBox.cf file in the installation directory and increase it to 20000 or so for much better performance. Also, don’t crank the wheels too much – the game can act a bit weird at high frame rates!
