  • played most of these sims back in the day. many hours spent playing missions on longbow 2 and f15. i wish these were still able to play on win 7. maybe i'll build a computer with win 98 or xp so i can still kick some iraqi butts

  • a lot of movie commercials/trailers use this.

  • youngsters nowadays don't appriciate things like this anymore, all they want from a game is gunshots, flame, explosion, blood, and jumpin around

    i'm glad that i've played military game like this with intelligence and deepth, best of all the things are very realistic

    btw, if you've played hearts of iron and loved that thumb this up as well!

  • hey guys i got this game to work on windows 7 but i cant configure the joystick can anyone help me?

  • in 0:38 is barrack obama (olabamamama) :P

    it is like 11/9 in matrix

    presidency announced :P

  • you need a rather old machine to play this now don't you? I still have USAF, F-15 and IAF but they won't spin right on my newer machine, haven't in ages. Anyone have any suggestions??

  • Does anyone know how i can install this on my Windows 7?

  • janes USAF, F18, F15, WW2 fighter. fleet command. loved em all. still have em.

    by far this intro brings tears to my eyes. so epic

  • Why is Jane is not making new sim again? :-( I loved their sims.

  • @lotaloi Because EA bought out their games department in the late 90s/early 00s and liquidated all their assets.

  • @89Sunbird i say EA should burnnnn for that i have not played a combat flight sim nearly as good as this

  • Best flight sim I've ever played!

  • i once explored the cd and burn'd the song from the credits its frak'in awsome

  • can anyone tell me what the song is for the credits in the game? my nephew was playing it and the tune playing in the credits sounds really cool. help?

  • I remember this intro from when I was a kid and I agree with you all, very moving, inspiring and powerful. This song has always eluded me as far as obtaining it for my library. I thought I heard it on the closing of the 2004 U.S. Open at Shinnecock on NBC sports. I haven't been able to hear it again to confirm. Now NBC uses the E.S. Posthumus song - Burlingame. Check it out, they sound real close.....not sure if this is what I heard back in 2004 or not.

  • majestic

  • most epic game!

    i wish i could find the right words to describe the awesomeness of this game... it is a pity that until now, there is no better combat flight simulator than this game... and if you think so then pl post me the name of it!

    i was so pissed of of this game because my pc was to slow for this game. as a kid i waited one year to get a new one!

    fuck that was the beginning of an addiction of buying new pcs and upgrades...

    besides gta and bf 1942, usaf is the most epic game of its era

  • i'm gonna go ahead and say this...

    AMERICA!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!

  • Man you don't get games like this anymore, I'd love to see the JCS series make a come back...

    It's sad really, no one cares about mission structures or coordination anymore, it's all explosions and shooting stuff without having any real understanding of what's supposed to be going on....

  • @TheSouthernAndrew Check Out DCS its kinda like a modern JCS, They only have Black Shark (Russian Helicopter) and A-10 sim out at the moment

    

  • wow i remember this was when the F-22 was introduced over 10 years ago! and now the russians finally have a stealth fighter. it still tells you america still is advanced way beyond everyone else

  • thumbs up if you think this is one of the best simulation games ever

  • @thegoldeneyefan99

     dude it is the best one ... there is no better !

  • forgot to say best intro ever in a game ! fuck can you belive it is 12 years old !?!?

  • @anonuem lol no!

  • Tally Mig I got him on my 6

    We are a Nation United

  • Austin bulls-eye 050 for 30 bandit.

    "Sierr Hotel"

    "One Iraqi back to Saddam"

    "Austin get him off me. 2 Roger Defending you. 3 Roger I'm on my way."

  • This movie would always give me chills up my spine.

  • Is there anybody who can make it work on Win7 x64, with more than 5-10 frames/sec ? I beg You to help me! I missed this game soooo much

  • @amshaegar1 Virtual machine running Win 98, maybe? Don't know for sure.

  • @4ingP I run Home Premium, so I cant access WinXp Virtual Mode :S but thanks for help

  • What's the name of the song?

  • The song reminds me the one on ID4 movie, when the 'air force' is checking.

  • I found the artist but can't find a link to the intro song yet "Rob Lihani (Digital Ranch, Inc.)" did the intro. The other guy people said is the guy that does the music ingame, like the menu music and campaign music.

  • I found the artist but can't find a link to the intro song yet "Rob Lihani (Digital Ranch, Inc.)" did the intro. The other guy people said is the guy that does the music ingame, like the menu music and campaign music

  • @CONTRA449 Mate I been looking for the music myself found it today its the full version no intro radio chatter!!!!

    Damn youtube wont let me drop a link in here so pump this into the youtube search bar : wMGT8TdmRdM

  • @Sgtsavage75 awesome man! thank you so much. I've been looking forever lol. Amazing song!

  • The good on this flight sim is that it features diverse aircraft as playable ones.

    F22,F4,F15,F117,MIg29,A10,F16.

    Unlike other simulators which feature the same airplane muliple times with small role differences.Eventhough that might me realistic,it damages replayability.

  • @Vosbraka I guess that's why Falcon 4.0 came out with dynamic campaign.

  • I miss this game! The greatest flight sim I played.

  • Talk about a song that gets you hyped the hell up to play a game. Maybe the greatest game intro song ever.

  • Austin 1 fox 2!

  • Man one country i actually like besides my own can i get an OOOraaaahhhhh :D

  • I mean, original song of this intro

  • cant find Rob Lihani's song

  • Anyone from the SF bay area will recognize this theme song from Golden Gate Fields commercials!!!!

    when i played this as a 10 year old kid, i could never land and i always shot down the refuel plane

  • Too bad this doesn't run with Windows 7...

  • I have this game and since I have I will NEVER updat my computer.

  • They should do a remake! I loved this sim as a kid!

    I still own the original CD-Box and the handbook (a real book, no stinkin pdf). But unfortunately new OS's crash the game (this was an Pentium III / Win98 Game).

  • i remeber when i was a kid i would sit up straight and salute the computer screen as the intro played hahaha. good times

  • Austin Lead Crashed!

  • Gives me chills to think that I used to play this game as kid and today am a Marine Officer only a few months from starting flight school.

  • @7op6un And, how do you do?

    Are you doing fine?

  • @7op6un Well done mate. I used to play this game almost every day. Now, I am an airline pilot for 5 years but never forgotten the golden era of flight simulation. I am a bit late for fighter but enjoy flying a Boeing every day. Happy Landings !!!!!

  • @7op6un I played these as an adult (kinda, if u think 20 is an adult :P) while crewing 15's in germany. good ol' spangdahlem and the 53rd fighter squadron. those were the good old days on my compaq with a 233 processor!

  • does anyone know how to play this games today with new computers...?? the new windows?? I always have problems installing them..can´t play them...Longbow, Nato fighters, ATF, US navy fighters, etc...

  • Ahh... I used to be mesmerized by the Jane's Combat Simulations intro. Haha, and this USAF intro brings back memories. Thanks for uploading!

  • I want a simulator of new US navy fighters on play station 3 right now|¬¬!!!!

  • i remember this game and thought wow wouldnt it be sick for the f-22 to be in service and i look and here it is

  • do have the Jane's IAF intro??

  • will this game work with vista or 7 ?

  • This was a very inspiring music theme to a game. When I  heard it, I felt like I could fly any of the simulated missions and come out on top! Awesome Game!

  • now if only this happened during my history class! i loved janes combat simulations WW2 fighters!

  • Classic

  • This is probably the most American, most Awsome, Most Patriotic intro's ever made. Man I had great memories playing this game, hell Im bustin my ass trying to get this game to run on vista cuz I love it soooo much.

  • All it's missing is a waving American flag at the end... oh wait...

  • This intro made me want to join the Air force and be a pilot!

  • does anyone know, whats the name of the song at 0:26 ?

  • @skurvafix unfortunately, no, i have been looking for it for 10 years, but if you ask me, this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed

  • best game ever.but i cant play it on windows 7 :(

  • @TheMetalJacket You may be able to with superpro mod at least thats what I heard- Im trying right now actually

    

  • @24Rorschach what is super pro mod?

  • @TheMetalJacket It apparently is a mod for Jane's USAF that gives you tons more planes to fly and I think adds 200 aircraft in the game. It has a dynamic campaign system that gives you 2x more than the game itself (which by itself is alot). I don't know too much about it because the game doesnt work too great on windows 7- I cant fly with joystick or go into preference menu so Ill have to install win 98 on some crappy hard drive for all my old games LOL. It should work for win xp.

  • @24Rorschach i must too install win98 just for this game

  • Remember when they used to make good games like this?

  • Yikes!  Is that Obama's face at 0:39??

  • @theMolluskMan  No...LMFAO Pretty sure thats Scott O Grady

  • @theMolluskMan lool...is not

  • Comment removed

  • Austin One requesting vector to tanker.. :)

  • brings back so many memories...Austin One splash fulcrum

  • What's the name of the whole song in the intro?

  • I bought this game years ago, the intro was worth half of the retail price alone! :)

  • I used to listen to play this intro on my computer over and over again through headphones, at night time.......couldn't get enough of the music!

  • What is the name of the song that's played throughout the intro?

  • I'm amazed that the music/composer isn't out there. It's one of the greatest intros of all time and I know I've heard the song in ads for different things. Even heard it in a Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 trailer once. They later changed the song because of some copyright issue.

  • what's the name of the song?

  • I had this game!!!! It was awesome but it would always cause my computer to freeze lol

  • This game is probably up their amongst the greatest Fighter plane games on the PC, I look back at the Computer games stores, and sadly, these games arent around as much anymore. Once upon a time the PC games were king, now, sadly they are takeing second and third place to the Wii and Playstation generation. Anyone remember Secret Weopons of the Lufwaffe, Great video 5 stars

  • jane needs to make some more games. if they have let me no!! i wanna buy it!

  • Wow wonderful memories!

  • Win Vista no ejecutable. :-(

  • Still probley the most inspirational video Ive seen

  • Lol, first search on google revealed that Intro theme was done by "Don Veca" Still havnt came up with a title. This guy also did music in other Janes sims

  • Credits also say:

    Intro Theme- Rob Lihani (Digital Ranch Inc.)

  • This game is siiick!!! Sierra Hotel!!! haha

  • My seconds favorite Simulation! With F/A 18 being my first. Took me a day to figure out how to lock on and fire missiles! This game was a bit simpler, but very good. Wonder what happened to Janes Sims! Anyway, there is a company called DCS (Digital Combat Sims) that are making pretty bad ass simulations.

  • i had a bunch of janes games like this,ww2 fighters and attack squadron when i was like 6 or 7 then i moved and there in my basement somewhere

  • CLASSIC! does any1 know the song at the main menu. plzzz ive been lookin for it for about 4 yrs!

  • Can you fly all those planes mentioned in that video?

  • Yes, you can fly the F-4E Phantom, F-105 Thunderchief, A-10A, F-15C and F15E, F-16A, F22 and F-117A. Although in my opinion the flight characteristics of the A-10A is not realistic in the game. Very good game though.

  • ang Mig 29 too

  • That's correct, forgot that one.

  • My first and favorite sim of all time!

  • BEST GAME INTRO EVER!!!

    I always shed a tear.

  • @OfficerBuffoni lol tot i was the only 1...

  • @OfficerBuffoni

    Roger that.

  • Can anyone help me please?

    When I try to click on the preference tab, the game just stops working. To exit it, I have to use the task manager.

    Is here any download that can help with that?

  • surely u are using WIN XP, you have to click on the usaf icon and in the compatibility tab, put "execute this program with WIN 98 compatibility"

  • ah...memories.

    I really enjoyed flying f4 in vietnam campaign

  • what is the name of the music behind pls response

  • A lot of people ask that. I also tried to find out, but so far as I can tell, it was composed specifically for the game. I did manage to find the name of the bloke who created it off a games site (sorry but can't remember what it was) & he has done music for some other games also.

    Whatever the case, it is definitely a wonderfully powerful bit of music and it would be nice to listen to it without the overdubbing of the sound effects.

    Let me know if you manage to find out anything futher.

  • thanks for your response. i am making some speed paintings here.and i have some friends in army. then i thought that would be a great music for back ground. but there are some other sounds mixing into the music :(. it looks like that i have to use this music with this sounds (i mean some comunication effects etc)

  • I did some digging. Don Veca was the composer of the game's music. Amazon and iTunes turn up nothing though. A Google search also comes up lacking on MP3s. It seems someone will have to rip it from the data files.

  • well do you know a program which is not necessary to be sophisticated too much that then i can remove those beep beep sounds and other effects finally i can come up with pure track of the game's intro? i seerched it from search engines too. but i only found it from video sharing sites. i think you understand what i suffer from by my previous comments. ( sorry for my english)

  • ive tried for off and on for about 10 years trying to find out the music for this intro, because its not only featured in this intro, but for commercials for movies and such, therefore there has to be a lead somewhere to what this song really is.

  • @longbow986 thnx but i need a name pls

  • Actually I think I did hear it on TV a few years ago. Right now, im trying to make a jet fighter montage with this song as the background music, but its hard when the flight simulator I use (X-Plane 9) don't have explosions!

  • @edwardwilliams91 To be exact, I heard it used on Larry King Live a few years ago when he was interviewing Prince Albert and it was the background music of a montage.

  • Best simulation ever.

  • i use to play this game when i was 4-6 i dont remember but i just found the cd today but its has a alot of flaws so i am now looking for it on google to see if i can buy a new one lol.

  • eh, i think its pretty different.

  • you know what, i dont care if i get flagged for this, you are fucking tone deaf, its not the theme from backdraft, its not even close, the theme from backdraft is intense action, the theme from this is patriotism that makes the action of backdraft look insignificant... and if you cant hear that... well maybe its more then tones you are deaf to...

  • alright... alright.... relax.... it's just an opinion... it won't hurt you.

  • America...FUCK YEAH!!

  • I love this game. First played it in year 2000 when i was just 6 ... :-)

  • Hmm, ive been reading these comments but theres a question here that's been ignored..

    What is the name of the intro song, Ive been searching the internet for the title of the song but all i can dig up is the name of the guy who put it in the intro wish to my suprize didnt help in the slightest, if someone can help PLEASE DO! i need this song in my collection XD

  • You can download TubeTilla, it's a free program that let's you download YouTube videos and turn them into audio files or video files.

  • this maybe true but what im looking for is the unedited verson of the song, ex. with out all the background noises like beeps or voices an im sorry but your answer doesnt fall within helpful : /

  • this is the best game ever. i remember playing this when i was frikkin 6

  • Hope to see a new release of this game, with more planes and places.

  • I love this video, specially the end with the american flag and the jets. So patriotic

  • The intro was so good I never got past it.  If it didn't stir something inside you you must be dead!

  • Best PC game EVER

  • Also, anyone know where to find a copy of Janes F/A-18?

  • F/A-18 is on ebay,apparently it is better than USAF "not sure,never had it" because they still want 40 bux for it

  • F/A-18 was more of a serious ultra realistic simulator. I had most of Janes Combat simulations. USAF and F/A-18 were the best

  • I 'acquired' a copy and found that the graphics were too outdated (USAF had far better graphics even though it came out at the same time), and that I don't like the flight model. I guess I'll stick to Falcon 4.

  • I played endless hours of this game when I was 13 or so. I got it Christmas of 1999 I think. And I still love this opening.

    I tried to play it recently but I think my joystick is too sensitive or the computer is too fast for the game now...

    I think I got to Four-Star General.

  • you remind me when I was a kid. I finished all the missions except I coudlnt ever get the 2nd medal of honor. Good times!

  • To this day, I get chills goosebumps every time I see this intro. Thanks!

  • We need the title of the music score!

  • I personally feel this was the most inspiring game intro ever... I long for the days when computer games were complicated simulations that were made for people who wanted a challenge... Not the dumb shit made for the 13 year old jello brain kids of today. I grew up flying with my MIDI Thrustmaster Hotas and pedals, dreaming of doing these things in real life, not wasting away playing World of Warcraft and pretending real life didn't exist. Perhaps some day, games like these will return...

  • Amen to that.

  • yes.

    well spoken

    haha.

    I'm 14, and i remember sitting in my dad's home office playing this game for hours when i was around 8.

    i'm trying to figure out where he left that disc.

  • I let my uncle borrow my classic sim games like USAF F/A-18, X-wing, Tie Fighter and he lost em :( I stil lhave the cover boxes. I would love to go to computer stores and look at the cover images of video games. God I miss the 90s

  • This man speaks the truth!

    ..In this day, far too many mainstream games that give little challenge and lack originality are rushed out to the consumers. The focus on ease of use for a broader audience and hence marketability, has in so many cases come at the expense of the overall experience of the games..In short...shit sux...:(

  • I'll second that. They don't make them like they used to. So many crappy hyped up games out there now, it's almost too much to deal with.

  • True,unfornately,all these good devellopers left the gaming industry a few years ago....now its all about shit ass games like WoW,call of duty 4 and ace combat's bullshits....

  • Jane's USAF is the BEST sim I have EVER played as a kid! I wish they would make another. This game got me interested in aviation and joining the USAF.

  • same, i played this game when i was like 9 and i thought, wow i really want to be a pilot. now im applying to the naval academy in just a few months.

  • @swiftjeff one of the best combat sim games ever made

  • @swiftjeff that just goes to show how fast the government can take your friends away

  • @swiftjeff Hehehe , after this game I would have joined USAF too.If I was an American that is.

  • @Prometheus203 Yeah, i would also agree, a good sim is microsofts flight sim with alot of realistic addons

  • @Prometheus203 The intro makes you want to join the Air Force.

  • @Prometheus203 i'd like to see that happen too but i'm afraid these jello heads are here to stay.

  • God I miss that game. It was soo much fun despite how simple it was.

  • Nice game for the sim newbie. But Janes F-15 is still hot.

  • lulz going back to the early 90s are we?

  • Lol, remember playing that back in the day as I still was a kid...

  • I use to play the crap out of this game. My favorite mission was the one when your protecting air force one. Good memories...

  • Fond memories of gaming past (I actually still have this. I may install again :0)

    As an Army Aviation soldiers I am biased towards the Longbow series as being Jane's best. But this is by far the best intro for any game ever.

  • fond memories of an amazing past... year 1999/2000, good ol times

  • oh god did we play this game like crazy... we did so many "tricks" in this game.Who didnt do the "top gun" manouvre ? :) (the one you brake and the badguy overshoots past your nose )

  • anybody know the name of this song?

  • why havent Jane´s combat simulations made any new games??

  • I think cause EA broke up the group, they were kinda like a small part of the EA game industry, much like project aces to namco bandai.

  • Electronic Arts kill the brand way back in the early 2000's as a part of restructuring. The last game they published was F/A-18. Their last game A-10 was canceled right before they shutdown. :(

  • I want to play this game again but it wont run on vista

  • Anyone know how to get this to run on Vista 32bit?

  • ? im still trying right now ! NO LUCK ......

  • anyone know the name of the song?

  • I played that game years ago...its amazing and I love USAF. Proud to be an American guy.

    Do you have the main menu song? it rocks! an instrumental rock song.

  • you can still play by way of IP ...game anyone ? im ready to connect....
