Unlike most computer simulators, Su-27 Flanker does not throw us into the middle of a fierce war in the sky, emphasizing the purely simulation aspect and pilot training. In this respect, the production of Eagle Dynamics slightly resembles the Flight Simulator series, transferred on board a military aircraft. In the game we can fly over the Crimean Peninsula, taking part in missions prepared by the authors or defined independently.

In of realism, Su-27 Flanker climbs to heights. Despite a slightly simplified flight model, all onboard systems, overloads and avionics handling were reproduced with 100% accuracy. The whole is complemented by high quality SVGA vector graphics in 256 colours. Despite the lack of music, the high quality sound recorded in a real plane is also impressive.
