Su-27 Flanker: Squadron Commander's Edition is a realistic flight simulator released in 1997 on compact disc. Developed by Strategic Simulations, the game contained a realistic and detailed flight model in a less competitive graphics shell, allowing the game to run on relatively minimal computer system requirements at the time. Set in the Crimea in modern times, the game offers a chance to pilot the Sukhoi Su-27. Air-to-air combat against other aircraft with notable artificial intelligence, as well as ground attack and bombing missions, can be played. Su-27 Flanker: Squadron Commander's Edition consists of a mission editor and 150 available missions in addition to the actual flight simulator.
Sound in this game is not compatible with modern operating systems such as Windows XP. In order to hear sound, the user must download a patch found on the Reisun website. A series of utilities designed to enhance the original content can also be found there.

Famous quotes containing the words squadron, commander and/or edition:
“Well gentlemen, this is it. This is what we’ve been waiting for. Tonight your target is Tokyo. And you’re gonna play ‘em the Star Spangled Banner with two-ton bombs. All you’ve got to do is to remember what you’ve learned and follow your squadron leaders. They’ll get you in, and they’ll get you out. Any questions? All right that’s all. Good luck to you. Give ‘em hell.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
“Every commander is alone.”
—Michael Powell. Captain Lansdorff (Peter Finch)
“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
