For me being a airplane enthusiast and a thirteen year old, I don’t know much about every little thing, but this game makes it easer. Now, to the point, I’m reading a book about Vietnam and it says the plane landing on the flight deck does not flare the aircraft, meaning you land on the flight deck with power. Since I have had this game for a long time I decided to test this. So I took my best plane for me to fly (the F-14) and trued it. The flaring part was spot on, but... the arresting wire only stops you at 250 and not about 300, which kind of confused me. I know this is not a Vietnam simulator but if that’s on purpose let me now or if not please fix it if you can. And if possible I recommend a F-100D or a F-105D, but any Vietnam plane will do! ( I’m really addicted to the Vietnam war for sure reason) and if you read all of this I just shan’t to say thank you for the beautiful yet wonderful game this is!

If anyone from Rortos happens to see this review, there’s some things that could be fixed or added to make this game better! I’ve always enjoyed playing this game for fun and if I get bored. Just a good way to pass time for plane enthusiasts like me. Even though it’s a cool game, it does have a couple minor things that could be looked at. One of those being the main runway on the Island Scenario. The lines on the runway look like they are for a smaller airstrip. The lights that show up at night are cool, but the lines don’t line up lol. Another thing that kinda bothers me a little is that the C-2 Greyhound doesn’t have shadows. I like to do aerobics with some planes but with there being no shadows, it’s hard to fly down on the deck. Another thing is the stutters when I fly through specific spots of the maps. I understand if it’s loading the areas but like I said I sometimes fly pretty low and when it stutters, it full sends me into the water or land. Those are some of the main things that could be looked at in my opinion. Something that I would really like to see is more aircraft. Ya I know the game is getting older and there’s newer and better sims but there should be at least three or maybe four more aircraft to fly. It’s also been 3 years since the F-104 was added. My top three planes that could be added are the SR-71 Blackbird, V-22 Osprey, and the C-17 Globemaster III. The SR-71 because you can zoom zoom around the map really fast, the Osprey because it’s got VTOL with the rotors, and the C-17 because flying big planes is fun lol. There could also be an update with reverse thrust if the C-17 got added and also put it on the C-130 since they can back up. Like I said if anyone from Rortos happens to read this review, these are a few things that could either be fixed or added to the game to make it a whole lot better!!!

I loved this game until I got my iPx (iPhone X) and it was very buggy so I didn’t play for a while but then I saw the new a-10 and was about to withstand the bugs just to fly it and a word of advice you should have put iPhone X support in the description as that is a game changer for most peopleBut for the future I say I liked the old design for the airbases in the canyon map a lot better (the really really old ones from before carrier landings 2) they were better quality and made more sense.

Playback animation doesn’t open the fuel probe on playback like the “pro” version of this game. The developers also got the animations of horizontal stabilizers and flap/aileron coordination wrong on the f14 and f18! Being retired Navy myself this bothers me a lot. In addition it would be nice to see ordnance available, changing the weight and flight characteristics. Carriers do not change course during recovery ops!!! Another annoying thing. PLEASE ADD PITCH AND ROLL during rough weather!!!
