AeroWings 2: Airstrike, known in Japan as Aero Dancing F (エアロダンシング F, Earo Danshingu F), is a combat flight simulator developed and published by CRI, Crave Entertainment, and Ubi Soft for the Dreamcast console. It is the sequel to AeroWings. An updated version of the game, called Aero Dancing F: Todoroki Tsubasa no Hatsu Hikō (エアロダンシングF 轟つばさの初飛行, Earo Danshingu F Todoroki Tsubasa no Hatsu Hikō, lit. "Thunder Tsubasa's First Flight"), was released for Dreamcast and Microsoft Windows only in Japan on November 16, 2000.
Gameplay[]
Unlike its predecessor, AeroWings 2 deals with air combat training (being, in that sense, a simulation of a simulation), rather than aerial stunts.
