Video Game Reviews of Combat Flight Simulator
Customer Review: Outstanding Flight Simulator
Summary: 5 Stars
A great game to play on-line as long as you have a joystick. There are tons of downloads & squadrons to fly with on the internet. Two thumbs up!Customer Review: Misunderstanding about upgrades from earlier programs
Summary: 4 Stars
It is with great pleasure that I reveal the last two years of being apart of the Combat Flight Simulator WWII Europe Series. The Games and battles are more than I ever expected for PC computer realiztic action. The major problem is with the Windows 2000 program. Either I am to damn dumb to operate this program or there are no realistic upgrades to the older combat CD's. What is the answer? Do we fold the old and purchase the new? Or do we keep plugging away at the promised upgrades? Would like to know...Miller
Customer Review: Microsoft again
Summary: 1 Stars
... The graphics are poor, as is the frame rate. The background is terrible. Naturally this product doesn't work well with anything that isn't made by Microsoft, including my Joystick. You have to use the rotate as a rudder, which makes using the rudder difficult. If possible, go to someone else, such as Jane's for a good simulator.Customer Review: Combat Flight Simulater

Customer Review: Good and durable
Summary: 4 Stars
I have played back-and-forth with this sim in the little-over-a-year since I've had it. It is still fun, still good and durable. The graphics are fine on my P800 with GFORCE 2MX200 card. The single missions, the quick combat and free flight are all good. In fact, Quick Combat is an excellent way to blow off stress after work...load up a Spitfire IX with unlimited ammo and blow away any Axis interloper that dares transgress the borders of Mother England. The earning rank and decorations in the campaigns are good too. I'm still hoping for my RAF Group Captain with Victoria Cross.However - and this is where the game loses a star - the training missions are bloody awful, for one reason: the annoying "instructor". Rarely does "he" give you any kind of help. For example, on the "Basic Flight" in a P-47, I must have tried for an hour to drop 1,000 feet and level off at 200 kts...according to my gauges I had done just that but he kept repeating that command in the same annoying voice. I finally chucked the training missions. It would have been far better to have a Harvard for a trainer.
Advice: unless you're completely clueless on flying, ignore these training missions. Play through the single missions on Rookie, Veteran and Ace settings before hitting the campaigns (nothing like learning by doing) and hone your skills with Free Flight and Quick Combat. Jack in the training missions and that annoying voice completely.
I just got CFS2 and have just started toying with it, so we'll see how that goes!
