It’s been a while since a dedicated combat flight simulator has been released, but Thunder Works look set to correct that situation with the upcoming release of the Jet Thunder: Falklands/Malvinas project. The screenshots look pretty special:
Thunder Works is a newly formed company focused in real time simulation technology, content criation and media for real time applications and complete solutions for simulation training or interactive entertainment.
Currently working in the development of the Jet Thunder: Falklands/Malvinas project, an innovative flight simulator aimed at the entertainment market, showcasing the company’s technology in all its branches, fully integrated in a single product:
- Proprietary 3D engine, with accurate terrain system based in SRTM data* and size depending only of storage space
- Proprietary physics system, strongly focused in flight dynamics/flight modeling, but also capable of other applications
- Virtual cockpit system technology with complete flight instruments, including HUD and MFD*, and capable of 6DOF and supporting head-tracking devices
- Complete artwork and content creation, with virtual representations of vehicles, enviroments, architecture and characters accurately based in their real-life counterparts
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) routines, able to coordinate attacks, navigate, take-off, land, retreat, etc.
- Client/Server based networking capabilities
- Multi-station vehicles simulation (a bomber plane can have its pilot station, gunner stations, etc, all networked in the same virtual battlefield)

This might be pretty good. I like the idea of some low level Sea-Harrier action over San Carlo.
Looks good, doesn’t it? I like the idea of the Vulcan, too
This project has been going for quite a while now and I’ve been looking forward to it for a couple of years.
They have some really good people involved with it that have flight experience in the fast movers and there is a good thread at SimHQ about the flight model where you see someone who has had some DACT experience Mirage V Sea Harrier FRS1.
Keep an eye on it!
Thanks for the info. It certainly does look promising.
Does any one have any kind of date for release yet
I really love the look of this one
been looking for a Good Jet sim for a while now.
bravo Jet Thunder.
