Eurofighter Typhoon is a combat flight simulator published by Rage Software in 2001. The game models the jet fighter Eurofighter Typhoon.

    Runs fine for me on Win 7 64 bit but there's no manual and it's a fairly complex game. The original game came with "108-page Instruction Manual, 4-page Quick Reference Card" We get nothing. Nothing even tells you what the keys are and there's tons of them. This is unforgivable shoveling of old titles on steam with no thought for the players who will be playing them.

    This is a dreadful product. It doesn't run. Steam seem to think that it's the buyer's job to fix products that are broken out of the box and so will not refund the purchase price. This game shouldn't be on sale!

    It is not so bad, but I can't recommend it. The campaign mechanics is very interesting, you control a group of 6 pilots in Iceland during a Russian Invasion (Tom Clancy Style), you can choose a pilot to control and you can change to other pilot at any moment, this is useful because there are simultaneous missions, this can be overwhelming at first but is simple. The campaign is huge apparently, I played more than 5 hours and I cant see the end of this, the campaign is in real time starting a…

    Played this game 22 years ago on Windows XP, when I was a teenager. Bought it today, where I am a Linux gamer using proton. It won't run the way you expect it to (small window, low resolution, config settings potentially not working). You have to import the typhoon_2000.reg file using regedit if you are on Windows. After that, the config tool should work and you can configure graphic settings. If you want higher resolutions than 1024x768, you can edit the typhoon_2000.reg file and…

    This is a extremely gimped version of EF2000. No heads-down displays, inferior UI - it's basically an arcade version of that game. If you're looking for EF2000, keep looking because you will be disappointed by this game.

    I remember this game from my childhood and it`s had been an amaizing expirience! Especially the idea of dynamic campaign is something I`ve never seen in simulation. Also the TV reports gives a huge handicap for the game atmosphere. Some technical issues, however its worth to see the fantastic campaign.

    Although this game runs FINE in Windows 10 x64 including HOTAS (X52 Pro), I cannot recommend this game, but would urge you to get your hands on "EF2000 v2"! And then play it via "EF2000 Reloaded", which is an easy way to play the DOS(!) v2 version with Glide (i.e. Voodoo) graphics! https://community.combatsim.com/topic/32832-ef2000-reloaded/ Pro: o) Graphics o) completely dynamic campaign (if you kill a plane, tank, ... it's not coming back; you really can win the war by "attrition") Cons:…

    Unfortunately I bought this before refunds existed. I finally decided to write a review after tying to get support to get this POS working. Sadly Steam support told me to speak with the developer, but the developer didn't even respond to several e-mails. Basically all I could do is hide this in my Steam library and curse myself for not reading the reviews before buying.

    Eurofighter has only tenuous claims to realism. The actual Typhoon is a collaborative effort whose design and production are shared among Germany, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom. It hasn't seen combat yet, but there are several operational models, and it's doing the rounds at air shows, so this game isn't so much outright fiction as it is early speculation. The German consortium that manages the actual plane's development has endorsed Eurofighter Typhoon, but that isn't saying…

But here are few serious problem i encoutered, 1. I had to run regedit file "typhoon_2000.reg" so i can launch "Config3dr2000" to change video/audio option. 2. Unskippable opening/starter scene. 3.

    This is an ancient military flight sim where you fly the venerable Typhoon jet fighter. The game hasn't been kept up to date. Fixed, low resolution, no working fullscreen, no manual has been shipped with the game and there's no in-game tutorial etc. Simply impossible to recommend.

    Brilliantly immersive; flaws can be overlooked. This is basically a simplified version of Super/EF2000, updated for modern systems and with a campaign based on defending Iceland. Pros: Very immersive missions, soundtrack and music. Don't worry about the dated graphics - the gameplay is what makes this. Cons: Slow for the campaign to get going; even with accelerated time. Once it kicks off you won't have time to think. Stick with it. By default runs in windowed mode on W7 x64; simple fix…

    It is a pain in the ass to get it working properly at full resolution, but once you do it is good game, and I think that modern developers looking into doing or updating sims like this should look at it because there are very good ideas. As for the simulation part, when it comes to flying this is not a DCS, not even an FSX. The flight model is not hardcore, but for the time it came out it is very decent, and you get G visual and sound effects. The only thing wrong with the game is that you…

    I really like the simulation genre and started with Gato on the 8088. Didthe greats like M1 Tank Platoon, Gunship & Falcon 4.0... so it pains me to give bad reviews to an already slim and seemingly dying genre but Eurofighter Typhoon is just bad. If you have never played simulators, DO NOT get this as it will turn you away from a good genre of games. (And if you like simulators, this will make you hate them... after 5 hours I could stomach no more.) Check out Microsoft Flight Simulator instead.

    Nothing seems to work in this game. Even if you get the game started, you’ll come across other things that don’t work. The crosshairs won’t be aligned, you’ll have weapons release bound to two different buttons, and you’ll have to break out keytojoy just to bind weapon switching to anything logical. The more you play this game, the more you’ll find that’s broken. The whole game feels like budgetware

    Eurofighter Typhoon, developed by Rage Software and published on Steam by Funbox Media Ltd, occupies an unusual place in the history of combat aviation games. Released during a transitional era when detailed flight simulators were becoming less mainstream and developers were searching for broader appeal, it straddles the line between simulation and action thriller. Rather than offering an open-ended sandbox or a museum-like recreation of the Eurofighter cockpit, the game constructs a focused…

    Went in with low expectations due to the other reviews, and unfortunately, they are all correct. After having to look up the manual to actually see what I'm doing, the game has a good concept, but is overly outdated and underperforming. You'd think that a combat flight sim would be pretty active, but it's clunky and disjointed. The flight controls are poor. Nothing in this game really excited me, especially while I was sitting watching my pilots in the mess hall.

    I have to be frank, though, graphics are like the classic 90s as in Ace Combat 2 or that Delta Force shooter game (somewhat in par with Counter Strike 1.6), and it had a combination of real-time strategy (RTS) and semi-arcade flight simulator. As the game title implies, this only allows you to fly one plane. But for the tutorial? Let's be honest. Keybindings cannot be changed. I can't find where to change game controls, though, unlike DCS: World. And manuals can be found on Forums - somewhat a…
