| Description |

Microsofts Combat Flight Simulator: WWII Europe Series does exactly what is says on the box--it lets you fly Second World War aircraft in combat missions. You can elect to fly "quick combat" missions or take part in a variety of campaigns flying for the British, Germans and Americans. You can choose how realistic you want the flight characteristics of the aircraft to be. Crank it up full and too tight a turn will see you spinning to destruction... unless your spin recovery technique is polished. Crank it all the way down and you can concentrate on finding the enemy rather than flying the plane. The individual aircraft are equally well modelled--the Spitfire is light and elegant to fly, the Thunderbolt fast but brutally heavy and so on. A further delight of this flight sim is the detailed modelling of the cockpits--those instruments that you see are photo representations of the real thing. The only area that lets this game down is the visual modelling of the terrain outside and of the aircraft themselves. Such criticism is inevitably comparative--the rendering is perfectly pleasing to the eye but not as good as, say, Combat Flight Simulator 2: WWII Pacific Theater. In that more recent version of the game (not yet available in a European version), the aircraft are much better represented, as is the damage they can incur. But that doesnt stop this being an excellent fun game to play and, once youre good enough, you can fight against other human pilots across the Web. Highly recommended for pilots who want to have fun. --Mark Whitehorn |

F/A - 18e Super Hornet
|
In terms of reality, I would have to say that this is probably the most realistic flight simulator I have taken to the skies with since Falcon 4.0. If reality is what you are looking for, this will not let you down. However, a word of "caution"... It is not until page 59 that you finally find the in..

Special Air Mission
|
Very nice software for FS98. It has the present Air Force One VC-25A(B747) and the Air Force One used during the JFK era VC-137B (B707). Another 3 US Navy aircraft come with this package VC-137A-MATS/VC 135A STRATOTANKER and the E-3A SENTRY/AWACS(B707 type). The panels are excellent and the airport ..

Jet Fighter Full Burn - Jewel
|
Is this another F-22 or F-18 game? Well, yes and no. These 2 types are your options and they do the job pretty well, though the cockpits and graphic details are spare (the external views are in low visibility grey colourings anyway), so it has more of a gamey feel. The landscape (Arctic) looks cold ..

Air Warrior 3 / Carrier Strike Fighter
|
I guess tat this is a case of Buy One, Get One For Free(BOGOFF)! Air Warrier 3 is a very slight improvement on Air Warrier 2, though it all seems to be more of the same. The only difference is that the ground has some textures, which are okay, and match the grainy look of the cockpit interiors and w..

Stuka
|
There is a Stuka in CFS already, but it has no cockpit panel and you need to Rename it as a bf109e and delete that fighter to make it flyable. This add-on allows you to fly that and a great variety of Stukas(Sturz kampfflugzeug) or Ju87s.The package has unusual faetures such as the siren that can..
