Chuck Yeager's Air Combat is a 1991 computer aircraft simulation game produced by Electronic Arts. Famed pilot Chuck Yeager was a technical consultant in the game and his digitized voice is featured in the game, giving encouragement and praises before and after missions.
The game is characterized for its good balance of an action laden gameplay which focuses on classical dog fights and a simple but still realistic flight model which justifies calling Chuck Yeager's Air Combat a simulation. Unlike in many other flight simulation games of its day, altitude and aircraft characteristics have a big influence on the behaviour of the game's simulated aircraft. Realism has been sacrificed to some degree to enhance gameplay however. Example: a real fighter plane expends all of its ammunition after a few short bursts, while in Chuck Yeager's Air Combat the rate of fire has been reduced considerably, making dog fights longer.

Bizarrely you can select just about any type of WWII plane - except a Spitfire...(!?)
Wow, I guess I need to hit the sack. I just responded to a post that is more than a month old. *sigh*
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the point of this site is to save games and other software from days gone by, which, for the most part, translates to pre-Mac OS X. However, a lot of members are running these games in emulators. You should check them out, magnus.
