Flanker 2.0 is a combat flight simulator developed by Eagle Dynamics released in 1999. In 2001, a major patch titled Flanker 2.5 was released 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: Project 1, and declared that it "absolutely deserves" players' attention.[1] Flanker 2.5 won GameSpot's annual "Best Simulation on PC" award, and was a runner-up in the publication's "Best Budget Game on PC" category, which went to Serious Sam: The Second Encounter.[2]
