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!

Out of all the combat flight simulators I like this one the best for high graphics on a low end computer and ease of learning. If this is your situation you can't beat this combat flight simulator for the money.

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.

Regretful purchase

Having purchased MS Flight Sims before, I assumed this one would be a similar type program. Instead, I find it uses comic book characters! My first inpression was disgust; misled and sorry for buying the product.

The vendor I purchased this was J-R's and their service was absolutely excellent. The order arrived the same day another purchase from Amazon arrived. This was unprecedented and truly excellent service. I thank the vendor for their services, but the product was a "bad buy".

this is as close as i have come in any of my WW 2 air war simulators to being realistic, you are in the cockpit and see enemy and shot your guns and acctually see them rip into the other air plane, fantastic and holds true to the microsoft flight simulator series with even more realism, i give it 5 stars and recommend if you are a combat sim collector or just player dont miss out on this buy,

well worth the money and hours of fun and diffrent air craft to fly, just great overall

Lacks the game factor

I purchased this game as a replacement for the venerable Aces Of The Pacific. While the game is a great flight simulator and is extremely involved The combat simulator leaves a lot to be desired. With all the intricacy of the flight model it seems they left out a lot of the fighting model. Planes that I know could do an Immelman turn in combat simply cannot do that in this simulator. Also the selection of planes is maybe half of the Aces of the Pacific selection, which adds to the disappointment. I would like to see someone update the Aces series for new computers so that these half baked attempts are knocked off of the shelf and into the serious Flight simulator only genre.

Pretty good

This is a very good flight sim. CFS 1 was better in the graphics area. This has a way better story line though. This had wonderful graphics too but not as great as the first combat flight simulator.

Some of the complaints I have about this game are

1. Your wingmen are useless when you want them to do something

2. Even though the game is pretty long I wish it stopped at the surrender of Japan or the Americans victory

3. It is too easy to complete missions.

Other than that this is a flawless game.

Pretty good: not great

When I got the game, I was all hyped up about it, because it was my first flight sim. It is a pretty good game. But after a while is got redundent and a bit boring. Here are the positives and the negatives.

Positives:
-Great plane graphics: inside and out
-Great bullet simulation: the g-force is really realistic
-Realistic missions: you have wingmen, etc.
-Landing and taking off is fun: starting the engine, throttle, etc.
-Awsome crashing graphics: tail or wing flies off and your plane is flaming

Negatives:
-It's very hard to learn the controls: basically it's "find out for yourself"
-Unless you have a joystick, it's not nearly as realistic
-The guy who speaks to you on the radio is almost incomprihensable
-The ship size to your size is not realistic at all
-Ships are basically grey blobs with towers on them
-For one plane the controls are twisted
-The tail rudder hardly works at all

All in all, the graphics are great but the controls are messed up
