Flanker 2.5 is a combat flight simulator developed by Eagle Dynamics.

Development

The game was released as a patch update for free to users who already owned Flanker 2.0, but was also available as a fully new purchasable game.

Reception

Flanker 2.5 won PC Gamer US's "2002 Best Simulation" award. The magazine's Andy Mahood wrote, "When a $10 upgrade package (for a three-year-old combat flight sim, no less!) takes our 2002 Flight Sim of the Year honors, it's a remarkably sad commentary on the state of the genre". However, he praised the game as superior to Combat Flight Simulator 3 and Strike Fighters, and declared that it "absolutely deserves" players' attention.[1]
