Unlike most celebrity endorsements that are shamelessly used to sell a product, Chuck Yeager worked closely with the designers to make the simulation more accurate. (Not only are each plane's specifications listed in the manual, but you can bring up a window with a real-time flight envelope to see how and why your maneuvers are stressing the plane!) So "right", in fact, that your success at achieving certain mission objectives depends on knowing what you plane can and cannot do. Not perfect-down-to-the-last-detail accurate, but most planes just feel right. The handling of the planes is perhaps why CYAC is still played by die-hard sim fans today-it's accurate. You can quickly design your own missions to fly, or jump into over 50 historically-accurate missions across three war periods (WWII, Korea, and Vietnam), some of which were recounted by Chuck Yeager himself. Trixter said it well in his thorough review of this seminal classic for MobyGames: " CYAC is about air combat, pure and simple. Designed by Brent Iverson ( LHX Attack Chopper), the game boasts very realistic controls, a large amount of planes, and nearly endless missions that span 3 theatres of operation.
Chuck Yeager's Air Combat is a classic modern air combat simulation that set new standard for the genre at the time of its release.
