NovaLogic has added innovative new features in the upcoming sequel to its best-selling combat flight simulation CD-ROM for PC, F-22 Lightning II.

Scheduled to ship in May, F-22 Lightning III will incorporate proprietary Voice-Over-Net technology, letting online players talk to each other during fast-paced aerial combat sequences. Gamers will be able to take part in online battles via NovaWorld, where more than 120 players can engage in simultaneous combat.

The game will include 3D graphics support via Glide and Direct 3D. NovaLogic maintains a web site at http://novalogic.com .
