Good graphics; Bad missions; Still the best!

I totally agree on what Thomas Gubiotti pointed out. If I add one more thing to the complaints, it will be the AI planes. They just keep turning when I chase them and become easy preys: I don't see any brilliant acrobatics from AI planes. Maybe I am asking too much, but to be more realistic, some of the AI planes should be piloted by aces or veterans and some by rookies, but I don't see any difference in AI planes in terms of flight skill.

After playing IL-2 and reading many bad reviews on CFS3, I feel that CFS2 is still the best combat sim game available out there. IL-2 is fantastic with all those realistic damage models and tracers; what I find CFS2 is better than IL-2 is still the graphics. In IL-2, you cannot really tell shapes of planes when they are far away: They are just dots and you cannot tell whether they are peeling off or not until they are closer. In CFS2, you can actually see the wings of planes at a similar distance and as a consequence you can see how they are moving. FYI, I am using the same resolution for both games.

I think this game will be classic or may already be classic. If you are new to the combat flight sim, buy this game. You will not regret. If you need some challenge, then buy IL-2.

I'am only 11 and I have about every flight simulator there is. The graphics are good except when you get to low. The cockpit view is good and the sound is good. It's best to have a jostick. We had a hard time with it because we didnt have the rite joystick so if you are going to get it get a good joystick. You can fly planes like the Hellcat,Consair and Wildcat. You can fly Japanese planes like the Zero and George. The campain mode is asome. And if you have CFS1 you can play the Eroupen campain like I can. There is some problems thow. It can get realy boring if you dont have CFS1. Evan thow it says you can play two player you cant,and it's almost inposible to land on a aircraft carrier. Other wise get the game it's worth every penny.

WHOA!!!

You find out how to fly, land and take-off. The controls are a bit hard, but it is fun. The missions are basiclly finding the [Japaneese]/Americans and bombing them. once you get use to the controls, it's on!

CFS-2...a bargain at the price

I spend time each day flying missions of a wide variety. The value of this product when considering the cost is truly amazing. Graphics are terrific, calibration is very realistic and the options for enjoyment are limited only to the user. A real bargain.

I was really excited to try this game out, but after loading the game I could not get the resoultion set. When in or outside the plane it looks like every thing is expanded and the center is pushed to the far right of the screen. Could not find a fix for this. I did notice that only when the F1 help menu was up that the graphics looked ok. But in the play mode every thing is out of wack.

Shooting down the enemy can be fun.

The quality of the graphics is adequate. The missions are fine. The real joy is shooting down the enemy. I thought the instructions were lacking, even the "help" and instruction manual on the CD could be much better. It would be nice to have more options for aircraft. I think in general there is room for sophistication in the program. Nevertheless, it is just a bunch of fun to shoot down the enemy. I have had the game for several weeks, and while it will get old at some point, the novelty hasn't worn off yet.

I have had this game for some time and beaten most of the levels, but the graphics dont match CFS3. It doesn't have as many planes as in the new CFS3 but it really gives you the chance to fly these WW2 Pacific Theater planes. the only part I dont like is constantly flying over the Pacific unlike 1 and 3 which can be flown all over Europe. If you want a medioker game, and just want to shoot down enemy planes, I suggest buying Combat Flight Simulator 2.

Where the Marines

I like the game , but it is the Pacific Theater and there were Marine Squadrons. Of course they flew F4F's at first then the F4U's ,skipped the F6F,but the Navy hogged them . Its not that big of a deal. (I was a jarhead, does it show?)........... The flight of the planes is a little jerky. I have plenty of power and all my components are more than enough for the game. I've cut off things and cut back on things in the game and tried different formats but it is still not smooth. But all in all, I play it every day. Maybe A Navy guy could help.

The Best Combat Flight Sim

It still remains the best out-of-the-box combat flight sim! CFS3 was a dog out of the box - however, third party modifications, especially OFF (Over Flanders Fields) a WWI flight sim mod using CFS3 as the engine, is my favorite of all time. CFS2 is no longer on my system, but it was there for many years - and that says a lot!
