Reality is high on the agenda with four levels of detail for approaching objects, enough views to make the head spin, tactical maps, tracking cameras for target identification, on-board computers, detection threshold indicators, every weapon under the sun and even accurate star constellations in the night sky.

Id just finished blasting villages and tank farms along the Libyan coast, had sunk a couple of ships, and was manoeuvring to land back on the US carrier when disaster struck.

The engine stalled.

Not a fatal occurrence unless you happen to be flying at 200 feet, which is what I was doing at the time.

After being warned not to try it again in real life and given a combat readiness strip, I was ready for my next mission.

Or I thought I was.

Oops, killed in action said the roster, just after my supposedly dead body had been cleared for combat service.

Bit of a bug methinks, but thankfully the rest of F-19 Stealth Fighter makes up for it.

The box is huge, the manual thick, slickly produced and glossy, and theres a couple of maps and a keyboard overlay to help you master one of the worlds most sophisticated aeroplanes.

Youll want at some point though, otherwise you wont have a clue whats going on.

There are more than 4,000 different missions to be undertaken, though just how different some of them are is debatable.

Virtually every missile and bomb you could wish for is available.

The ground crew recommends your ordnance, but this can be changed to whatever you like.

The back of the manual contains a welter of information on weapons systems, or even if you arent au fait with missiles and bombs you can check up and choose for yourself.

This should be done because in the mission detailed above the ground crew installed a Maverick thermal imaging ground to air missile, which is acceptable against ships.

This is the standard anti-ship missile of the navy and air force.

Mastering the techniques of maximising the F-19s radar invisibility attributes takes practice though.

Thankfully the excellent manual will guide you through fooling radar, avoiding missiles, strafing ground targets from 3km, and tackling hostile warplanes.

Old Microprose hands will welcome the various medals and awards handed out after increasingly successful sorties.

The graphics are pretty good, if not quite as glossy as the recent competition, though they are fast and the round-the- plane views are excellent.

For those who want a strict fly, shoot, have fun game then the Ocean sim is more in your flight path.

On the other hand, if you want a superb, sophisticated, enjoyable, complex and action packed simulation then you want a copy of F-19, a sim from the people who really know about sims.

Best of all, if and when the war finally heats up, its sheer undetectability allows the F-19 to tread boldly where normal planes fear to fly.

Flying either a true Stealth (F-117 A) or Microproses theoretical model of the plane - designed for the PC version when the craft didnt officially exist - you play the part of a new pilot hoping to win glory, medals and promotion through the ranks by way of flying skill.
