USAF Pilot Training: Road to the ThunderBirds to Ship This Fall
New Retail Simulation Game to Be Shown at E3 Show Next Week
CARY, N.C. - May 4, 2006 -- iEntertainment
Network, (BB:IENT.pk), the award-winning developer of the
World Famous WarBirds TotalSims series, announced today that
USAF Pilot Training: Road to the ThunderBirds! will be
released in Retail stores in November 2006. iEntertainment
Network is also working with the United States Air Force and
will be given the license to use official United States Air
Force Logos for the product. The Air Force has also offered
to provide additional technical data, facts, and support to
make the USAF Pilot Training: Road to the ThunderBirds a very
accurate simulation and presentation of real United States
Air Force Pilot Training. IENT has not yet selected a
retail-publishing partner but is discussing that option with
publishers at this time.
The new simulation, USAF Pilot Training: Road to the
ThunderBirds, will follow a new student from their
commissioning as a new 2nd Lieutenant, to the awarding of
their pilot wings in a simulation with great role-playing,
scoring, medals, and ranking systems. This simulation will
use real Air Force training methods and allow the player to
learn to fly the T-6 Texan II, the T-1A Jayhawk, the T-38
Talon, and the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
The simulation will introduce the new player to all the
features and functions of the real cockpits of these
aircraft, teach the real maneuvers that student pilots
practice, and provide realistic "Check Rides" like the real
student pilots take in actual USAF Pilot Training. The
ultimate simulation reward will be for the student pilot to
earn the opportunity to fly with the United States Air Force
ThunderBirds in their real routine as the number 4 formation
pilot!
"As a former USAF Instructor Pilot, doing this simulation
game is a rerun of my young, exciting and fun Lieutenant
days," says JW "Wild Bill Stealey", CEO of IENT. "I know that
my student would have benefited greatly and become better
pilots, sooner, if they had this kind of simulation when they
were in Pilot Training. Many of my Air Force friends, several
former Air Force Instructor Pilots, and numerous retired
aviators have agreed to assist IENT in making this a great
training simulation. It is very exciting to be back working
with all of them again!"
