AcroJet is a flight simulation where you pilot the BD5J Acrojet through ten aerobatic events. Up to four players can compete with four difficulty levels available. Challenges include the Pylon Race, Slalom flying in a figure eight, Ribbon Cuts performed upright or inverted, and complex stunts like rolls and loops under ribbons. Precision landings are tested in the Spot Landing and the more difficult Flame-Out Landing, where you must touch down without engine power. The final event, the Cuban Eight, combines loops and rolls over a ribbon. Weather conditions can be customized, and the cockpit features instruments such as altimeter, compass, artificial horizon and vertical velocity meter.
