Novalogic "Integrated Battle Space" Supported?

[Bacalhau]

I remember playing a lot of Novalogic's Mig-29 and F-16 games back in the day. I recall both games could be networked together i.e. through something called "Integrated Battle Space" or IBS... a.k.a. the games were running the same game engine... Curious to know if this F-22 game is compatible as it would be a blast to network three PC together to run each game. Good old LAN party days!

Nope, only the earlier version F-22 Raptor :(

Lightning 3 is a completely separate installment and therefore not part of the Integrated Battle Space.

F-22 Raptor is part of the Integrated Battle Space, however, you need the 2001 version of the game (it came with a standalone multiplayer client, and had the F-16 Multirole Fighter music in the lobby).

I wonder why don't they put F-22 Raptor on Steam though? That was a game with a better personality and had awesome music and FMV's. I really want to buy Novalogic pack on Steam from time to time but since it's incomplete I can't convince myself to buy it.

I can understand for very old dos games like Lightning 2 to not be included (That's GOG's area of expertise) but I bet F-22 Raptor can work just fine on Windows 10.

The biggest problem I've seen with F-22 Raptor is that it doesn't support USB Joysticks in single-player.

The Multiplayer Install (that comes with the Integrated Battle Space) does support USB Joysticks.

When have you ever played Nova's IBS multiplayer? I'll give you the server right now. Let's see if you can join. https://26.181.137.118
