"We are excited to release such a state-of-the-art air racing game in Europe," says Mungo Amyatt-Leir, Just Flight's MD. "The growing popularity of extreme sport air racing games is catching on like wildfire. If you're not accustomed to racing at high speed, you may want to think twice before you attempt to play Xtreme Air Racing™".

Xtreme Air Racing™ recreates accurate representations of the aeroplanes raced annually at Reno Nevada, together with realistic 3D-terrain graphics combine to provide the ultimate high speed racing experience. Instead of racing cars around a track, try to visualise airplays in the sky racing at lightening speed.

Fly between 50-200 feet above the ground in a turbo-charged, nitrous burning steel monkey with over 3,000 horsepower at the touch of your fingertips. Experience racing around pylons 50ft off the ground. Fly so low to the ground that your propeller kisses the sagebrush, while surrounded by seven relentless competitors. It's no surprise why real-life pilot professionals refer to the experience as the "world' greatest adrenaline rush".

During a 'virtual' race, US World War II aviation expert Bob Hoover will be your co-pilot and coach you through the event, providing various suggestions and warnings. There's also a real-time announcer reacting to the actual events and changes in position as the race progresses.

Fly 20 highly detailed aircraft via 3-D cockpits, in nose to nose action against the most famous planes in the world of air racing. Try a single race or enter an entire season of racing in exotic locations around the world. From the jungles of Thailand to the scenic coast of England, to the snowy fjords of Iceland to the majesty of the Swiss Alps - Xtreme Air Racing™ has it all.

When you're ready to compete with the big boys, fly in the granddaddy of all air races, the National Championships at Reno. In between heats, choose from a number of aircraft and engine options. Set up your plane for peak performance from 50 different tracks.

Seasoned pros will love the high-fidelity simulation model with over 200 independent variables, while amateur pilots can jump into the cockpit in the bronze class to compete from the staring line. With state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, the computer pilot's opponents adapt to your skill level. No matter what skill level is selected, you will face a new, invigorating challenge.

Access the game in multi-player mode over the Victory Air Racing Network. The SoundMAX™ audio will also set a new standard for all air racing simulations as each plane engine runs in real-time and will react to variances in altitude, velocity, twists and turns. You can also record your own announcer tracks and even put your own name in the game.

As a virtual pilot, indulge in aerobatic stunts or test your survival skills by dog fighting in the air combat section. If you blow an engine, and don't coast back to the pits, you'll be lucky if you make a successful dead-stick landing and survive to tell the tale. Xtreme Air Racing™ is one of the few racing games where engine management during a race is critical. Go for it!
