Fighter Pilot - Commodore 64

1984: David K. Marshall at Digital Integration developed this game, original for the ZX Spectrum in 1983, but with a very popular C64 port the following year, as well as an Atari 8-bit and Amstrad CPC version. It is regarded as one of the first jet combat flight simulator developed, and on its release, its 15,000 sq miles of flying area was unprecedented.

Tomahawk - Commodore 64

1985: David K. Marshall turned his sights to helicopter simulation next, with this realistic helicopter simulator of the AH-64D Apache. It was ported to Spectrum ZX, Amstrad CPC, Atari 8-bit, Apple II, and IBM PC (with limited 4-color CGA Graphics).

F-16 Combat Pilot - PC Games

1989: David K. Marshall was the lead designer as Digital Integration hired a lot more programmers to help develop their new project, an ambitious full-featured and authentic F-16 flight simulation. Unfortunately, Digital Integration was too little, too late, as Spectrum Holobyte released their Falcon F-16 simulator in 1987, and Falcon A.T. in 1988. Even though F-16 Combat Pilot was a great simulator, it simply couldn't compete.

F-16 Combat Pilot - Commodore 64

1990: Released late in the C64 lifespan, Digital Integration ported their F-16 simulator back to the Commodore, as their classic Fighter Pilot for C64 was a huge hit on that platform, with over a million sales. It is considered one of the best C64 flight sims ever released.

ATF II (Advanced Tactical Fighter II) - PC Games

1990: Designed by Rod Swift and Kevin Bezant, this was an arcade action flight game where you fly an ATF on various missions around the world.

8.7

Tornado - PC Games

1993: Once again, David K. Marshall was the project lead on the next major flight simulator, this one focused on the Panavia Tornado jet fighter, and was met with great praise and reviews.

Merlin Challenge - PC Games

1993: Digital Integration released this little know title, which featured the pride of the British Navy, the EH-101 Merlin military helicopter.

7.5

Tornado: Operation Desert Storm - PC Games

1994: An enhanced edition of Tornado flight simulator, which adds 18 new missions based on actual targets in Operation Desert Storm in Iraq.

Apache Longbow - PC Games

1995: Rod Swift was the manager of this helicopter simulator, with most of DI's top programmers on the team, including David K. Marshall and Kevin Bezant. One of the most praised and realistic helicopter simulators at its time, it was overshadowed by 1996's Jane's AH-64D Longbow simulator.

7.5

iF-16 Fighting Falcon - PC Games

1996: David K. Marshall and Rod Swift teamed up to release this long-waited update to DI's F-16 Combat Pilot classic. Despite praised for great accuracy, it was dodged by bad graphical performance and was 'just another F-16 simulator' in an era overcrowded by big flight simulator hits.

HIND: The Russian Combat Helicopter Simulation

HIND: The Russian Combat Helicopter Simulation... - PC Games

1996: Rod Swift was at the helm of this update to DI's Apache simulator, this one focused on the Russian Mi-24 HIND combat helicopter. Even to this day, it is regarded as one of the most realistic and detailed flight simulators, and because of common engine, it can easily be setup to play head-to-head versus the Apache Longbow game.

F/A-18E Super Hornet - PC Games

2000: After Titus from France bought out Digital Integration, they left them to operate independently. This last real flight simulator was led by Rod Swift with David K. Marshall on the design team, and the focus was on carrier-based F/A-18E Super Hornet jet fighter.

F/A-18E Super Hornet: The Albanian Campaign (Mission Pack)

F/A-18E Super Hornet: The Albanian Campaign (Mission Pack)... - PC Games

8.2

Top Gun: Combat Zones - PlayStation 2

2001: Digital Integration took a drastic turn away from their realistic flight simulator roots and developed this arcade jet action game for the PS2 and GameCube. A PC version also followed.

Top Gun: Combat Zones - GameCube

Top Gun: Combat Zones - PC Games

2003: The PC edition was only released in Europe. In 2005, Titus (the new owners of Digital Integration) went bankrupt, and this long-lived famed studio specializing in flight simulations has not been heard from since.

Digital Integration Ltd was based in Camberley, Surrey, in the United Kingdom and was founded in the 1980s. The company was best known for creating flight and racing simulations for the Amiga, Amstrad, Atari, ZX Spectrum, Commodore and PC platforms. Action Sixteen and Dream Factory were two of the publishing labels used by the company in the early days, especially for 16-bit releases.

In 1998 Digital Integration became a wholly owned subsidiary of Titus Games plc, the holding company for Titus Interactive, and continued to operate as usual using its own name and identity. In 2001, Digital Integration released Top Gun: Combat Zones, their first game for the GameCube and PlayStation 2 as well as Windows.

When Titus Interactive went bankrupt in 2005, it supposedly did not effect Titus' international subsidiaries which included Digital Integration. However, nothing has been heard from the company since that time and it appears to have faded into the woodwork.
