The flight-sim experts at Abacus are at it again, this time with the military-themed Carrier Strike Force. Armchair aviators get three new aircraft to fly, and three new aircraft carriers from which to launch. Players can try their hand at unique aircraft carrier objectives like landing on a moving surface, catapult launching, and tailhook stopping on an active deck. Five new missions and six open-ended training sessions take gamers all over the world aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard, the French Charles de Gaulle, and the British HMS Illustrious. Previous installation of Microsoft Flight Simulator X is required to play Carrier Strike Force. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
