    An enjoyable, light simulator. The plane selection (with NATO Fighters mods) makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. I just wish the AI was more challenging and that the multiplayer features were better. I also would not mind having proper labels for improved situational awareness. [Dec 2006]

    Even though Wings over Europe has a lot of stiff competition from other games, I can’t seem to get the odd ‘leaning at 90 degrees’ sensation out of my head. There’s always a new trick or manoeuvre to attempt in a different mission in a different plane. Maybe someday I’ll figure out how to drop bombs.

    The vintage jets are a delight for the eyes, and Wings over Europe can challenge your air combat maneuvering and bombing skills as well as many A-list flight sims do. [Aug 2006, p.90]

    Essentially, this is "Strike Fighters" in hotpants and platform heels. [Dec 2006, p.95]

    Instead of balancing on the line between arcade game and simulation, the game tries and fails to be both, giving the whole package a strange split personality that does nothing to endear you to it.

    Looks and plays like a game from 1999. [Christmas 2006, p.93]

    A great flyer for beginners, but not enough new features for the hardcore fan. [Dec 2006, p.114]

It is highly editable with a few sites offering free downloads to add more detail, jets and planes, weapons, etc. I joined Combat Ace which has a few thousand files you can download for Sims like FSX, Star Trek, Train Simulator, Strike Fighter Games and more. If you like playing Air Combat Games with wicked graphics, game features, and plenty of customizations then check this game out.… Expand

    This flight sim adds nicely to the already released Wings over Vietnam (the two can be combined if you've installed WoV first). This flight sim adds nicely to the already released Wings over Vietnam (the two can be combined if you've installed WoV first). Primarily adding the F-15, A-10, and the Harrier to the mix, as well as European senary, this "sim lite" offers plenty of entertainment value.… Expand
