GAMERS FLY THE UNFRIENDLY SKIES
IN PARSOFT'S WORLD WAR II SIMULATION,
FIGHTER SQUADRON: THE SCREAMIN' DEMONS OVER EUROPENext-Generation Flight Simulator Set For October Release
Plano, TX, June 1, 1997 -- Spotlighting the intense, aerial close-combat of World War II, Parsoft's upcoming flight simulation Fighter Squadron: The Screamin' Demons Over Europe packs the throaty rumble, split-second agility and short-range armament of the most notable planes of the era.
Developed by the award-winning creators of Hellcats Over the Pacific and the A-10 Series, the game showcases an all-new physics model and authentic environments that produce an unequaled air-war experience.
Slated for release in Fall 1997, Fighter Squadron: The Screamin' Demons Over Europe will be available for the Macintosh at an estimated shelf price of $49.95. The Windows version of Fighter Squadron: The Screamin' Demons Over Europe will be published by Activision Inc.
"Fighter Squadron: The Screamin' Demons Over Europe will be the most realistic flight simulator ever released," states Eric Parker, Founder and The Programmer, ParSoft Interactive. "Based on our advanced physics simulation, Fighter Squadron will have a unique 'live environment' which allows all of the planes to move and react to forces just as they would in real life. For example, if you fly up behind your enemy and lay into him with gunfire, completely blowing the plane to pieces, the impact of the explosion and flying debris will effect the performance of your plane exactly as it would in a real life scenario. That's why we refer to it as a live environment. This level of simulation has previously been missing from WWII simulators."
Featuring a ground-breaking simulator engine based on the most accurate inertia, gravity and force calculations to date, Fighter Squadron: The Screamin' Demons Over Europe vividly recreates the up close and personal combat of The Great War. The simulation depicts three unique scenarios from WWII: the English Channel, Rhineland and Northern Africa theaters. Choosing from nine different planes, including the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 and the Messerschmitt Me-262 (the first jet fighter on earth) players can rewrite the history by puncturing enemy warbirds with abandon and piloting skill.

ULTRA-REALISTIC WORLD WAR II FLIGHT SIMULATOR
"Flight sim fans are going to go nuts over the game's incredibly realistic physics/damage model... It could be the only combat-flight sim you'll need all year."
- PC Games Magazine
"No other sim I've flown has so fully captured the feeling of the entire flying experience."
- Denny Atkin, Computer Gaming World
Face the grim realities of World War II. Feel the shudder of shrapnel piercing fuselage. Eye the torrent of smoke and shattered parts trailing from your engine. And just try to make it back to base alive with a sheared-off wing. Fighter Squadron: The Screamin' Demons Over Europe delivers combat so real, you'll wish you weren't such a damn hero.
Master Realistic Flight and Damage Models
Up to 40 break-off points per plane offer realistic collision detection. Engines get knocked out, parts are shot off and torm fuselage flutters in the wind, realistically affecting flight dynamics.
Explore Breathtaking 3-D Worlds
Native 3Dfx support, D3D support, or software emulation of 3-D hardware features enhance each fully-functioning instrument panel and deliver breathtaking, hand-built, texture-mapped terrain.
FLy 10 Authentically-Modeled Aircraft
Pilot WWII American, German and British fighters and bombers: ME-262, P-38J Lightning, B-17G Flying Fortress, Mosquito, P-51D Mustang, Focke Wulf FW-190, Ju-88, Lancaster, Spitfire, and Typhoon.
