This game has kept me entertained long hours. Its requirments are convent and low so that it runs well on most computers over 200mhz. This game has catchy game play and is very addicting. The downside is almost every key on your keyboard means something, but it makes the game seem more realistic. The game also includes a kit that allows you to customize aircraft, terrain, and missions. This game RULES!!!

unworkable mess

The eaw is simply not worth the effort to buy it wont work with xp and needs a ton of ram so you need an older system with high ram none of the games b-17 or the eaw seem to be worth even purchasing

I AM AN AVIATION ENTHUSIAST. I HAVE READ MANY ACCOUNTS OF AIR COMBAT WRITTEN BY THE PILOTS WHO FLEW THE MISSIONS. THIS GAME COMES CLOSEST TO PUTTING YOU IN THE COCKPIT.

THERE ARE LONG STRETCHES IN THE GAME WHERE NOTHING HAPPENS. HOWEVER, WAR IS NOT ALWAYS CONSTANT COMBAT. I'M SURE THER ARE VETS READING THIS REVIEW WHO WILL REMEMBER MISSIONS WHERE NOTHING HAPPENED. ALSO, THE GRAPHICS ARE NOT AS SHARP AS NEWER GAMES, BUT IN MY OPINION GAMEPLAY MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR THIS.

I THROUGHLY ENJOY THIS GAME.
IF THEY COME OUT WITH A SECOND EDITION(I HOPE THEY DO) MAKE THESE IMPROVEMENTS:
BETTER GRAPHICS
INCLUDE THE RUSSIANS AND THE EASTERN FRONT AND THE MEDITERRANEAN THEATER
A LITTLE MORE HELP FROM MY WINGMEN PLEASE!LOL

THIS GAME WAS VERY GOOD. I ENJOY IT MORE THAN CFS, OR CFS-3. OK, THE GRAFICS AREN'T THAT CLEAR OR REAL LOOKING, THE GAME PLAY IS VERY GOOD THOUGH. I AM AN AVIATION ENTHUSIAST, AND HAVE READ MANY ACCOUNTS OF AIR COMBAT WRITTEN BY THE PILOTS WHO FLEW THE MISSIONS. THIS GAME COMES VERY CLOSE TO PUTTING YOU IN THE COCKPIT. SOME OF THE MISSIONS ARE SHORT AND THERE ARE LONG STRETCHES WHERE NOTHING HAPPENS. BUT THEN WAR IS NOT ALWAYS CONSTANT ACTION.THERE ARE MISSIONS WHERE NOTHING HAPPENS. I'M SURE VETERANS WILL AGREE WITH THAT. OVERALL, THIS GAME IS VERY CHALENGING AND ENTERTAINING EVEN THOUGH IT DOES REQUIRE SOME PATIENCE. I HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE A NEXT EDITION WITH BETTER GRAPHICS AND MISSIONS THAT INCLUDE THE EASTERN FRONT AND THE MEDITERRANEAN THEATER.

Great flying and graphics!

As an avid flight simmer, I was really looking forward to this game, but also with a lot of doubts. The game itself is incredible; graphics are the best I have seen from any flight simulation. The concern when I first got it was, the same thing that disappointed me with FS2000, the frame rate. I, by no means have a fast computer (PIII 600, 128 MB RAM), but I am consistently getting a pleasing 25-30 frames a second from CFS2, and that was with the detail turned on full blast and 4 planes buzzing around, I was overwhelmed. The only way I could get that good of frame rates from FS2000, was to fly at night over the ocean.

The detail put into this game is great, everything from seeing the ripples in the water as a ship is sunk, to the sounds of the ships motors as you fly by, flying through the flak, oh and of course the damage of the planes being shot.....very nice. There were a few disappointments, one being wingman commands....they are very limited, and the limited amount of planes you can fly, I would have liked to fly a B-25 and drop 3000 lbs of bombs on a tiny island, overall its a outstanding game, 1 step above CFS Europe.

Also, I bought my first FS software to fly the number one freeware aircraft simulator on the Internet - The TR-3B Flying Triangle. I flew fighters for the Air Force in late Vietnam, specifically the F-111 and am rated commercial also. The TR-3B Flight Simulator for Microsoft's Flight Sim, is based on the writings, lectures, and TV interviews of Edgar Fouche who wrote "Alien Rapture." (See amazon)

Why? This is what the genius who developed it wrote: "For the experienced flight simmer on FS2002 PRO, I have developed this complete exotic amphibian TR-3B package, which is now available as freeware for download. It includes 3 models - the purple Astra, blue Locust and white Hellas - and as an extra 4th model the TR-3X with its own speedy attacker flight dynamics. The package includes TR-3B panel & gauges, noise cancellation sounds, fsuipc and special lights effects.

This TR-3B is a heavy tactical reconnaissance aircraft equipped with a magnetic field disruptor that reduces the weight by 89 percent (it is not the same as anti-gravity, though). It has been created for Microsoft Flight Simulator. All gauges are included.

The TR-3B can float like a speedboat at Mach 1.5 over water, fly like a heavy helicopter, like a bush plane, a business jet, like a military jet and lift like a rocket. Cruise speed is approx Mach 4.7 at FL340 and above, and approx Mach 2 at sea level. Service ceiling approx 69,000 feet ASL. Super stable. FSFREEWARE, SURCLARO, FSPLANET aircraft simulator sites have reported as many as 5000 downloads in one week!

I searched and read many many web pages about his book and the author, Edgar Fouche including; startfinish(put in the dot com.)biz/wise Click on links for Fouche and Flying Triangle. You will find his full presentation, and the download links for the TR-3B. Get the Great TR-3B Top Secret aircraft simulator and X-Plane, which I highly recommend.

A super great addicting and fun WWII fighter sim

European Air War is a super great game. You can fly as the British, Germans, or the Americans. This game is a lot of fun. I like this game better than Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator since you can communitate with your wing man. Also as you increase in rank, you can give radio orders to your squadron(s). [...]you will not go wrong buying this.

Impressive, but not a masterpiece

"European Air War" is one of the most fun games I have ever played. As a history buff, I had a great time fighting in World War II. Unfortunately, I can no longer play it since we got a new computer. The game is compatible with 8-bit graphics, and newer video cards cannot support 8-bit. That's the reason why I have to give it just 3 stars, but if I was still able to play it then I would definitely give it five.
