This game is brutally hard (aside from getting the steam version to work). Its a great mix of Sim and Arcade flight combat. The missions are more in depth than alot of other flight games of the time and plays like an actual sim, rather than an arcade action game. Youll provide close air support, and escort bombers, and uncover a.....story of some sort. The games translation is also kind of hilarious. Your Commander really lays into you in the after action reports. Would be interesting if Multiplayer for this game made a comeback as this and the sequel (Echelon: Wind Warriors) supports 48 players. Theres not much like this game out there and its unique in the flight sim world. It does work really well with HOTAS through joystick gremlin (or your vjoy setup of choice) though the actual game only recognizes 1 joystick. At least 1 pov and 16 buttons, not sure the axis limit though I have 4 through vjoy. Would love to see this game added to GOG as the Steam version is a bit strange to get running correctly and if GOG can implement the fixes out of the gate, this game might get the recognition it deserves

My mom gave it to me. I was surprised by the variety of weapons, ships and detail in the physics and damage to the ships, they could be shot down with a well-placed shot.

In Star Trek: Bridge Crew, the Federation dispatches you and your crew to command the new vessel U.S.S. Aegis as part of a critical initiative.

The Trench contains stunning beauty and undiscovered wonders, but also strange anomalies and dangers yet unknown. The Klingon Empire is also active in the region, and their purpose is undoubtedly a threat to the Federation’s plans.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon RisingOperation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a game about a fictitious conflict on one of the Sakhalin islands, a conflict that is in danger of erupting onto a global scale. The player takes the role of a US soldier, part of the allied force fighting against outnumbering Chinese forces vying for control of the island. The game centers on a campaign narrative that gives the player a variety of roles in the allied forces ranging from a Marine Infantry, tank commander, Special Forces and helicopter captain. The game has an incredible realistic depiction of war with careful attention to the detail of the weapons, equipment and tactics of the armed forces. The action is varied from intense fire fights through to slower pace tactical decision making on how to best tackle the mission objectives.
