Combat flight sim windows 7


















Crimson Skies' excellent voice acting and mission briefings make CFS2 feel dull in comparison. Additionally, now-standard in-game movies are completely missing and would have greatly enhanced the storyline.

Microsoft inserts unconvincing comic-book sequences of a year old boy's fears instead of cut scenes from a kamikaze mission or the sinking of an important ship. Because CFS2 is built on Flight Simulator's foundation, many details have been built into the game that otherwise wouldn't have been. Most gamers don't want to worry about performing a full pre-flight checklist, but for gamers interested in absolute realism the ability to change your fuel mixture sounds made to order.

Gamers that crave realism will find plenty to keep them occupied. The real test of a combat simulation boils down to how the airplane handles in flight. Hard-core players will be pleased with the attention to micro-details and action-oriented gamers will appreciate the macro-view of air combat. Action-oriented simmers can circumvent practically every realism setting in the game. With ammunition and fuel set to 'unlimited', damaged turned to 'invulnerable', and an easy flight model, beginners will find a smooth learning curve for the game.

Advanced simmers will obsess over the full realism found in the flight model and adequate flying prowess of the computer-controlled pilots. With every imaginable option available for tweaking, gamers of every level will find something here to their liking. With the flight model set to full realism, the aircraft handle precisely as expected. Pilots will need to manage their energy and angle of attack to avoid stalls and situational awareness becomes much more elusive.

Torque effects are less noticeable than in other 'realistic' simulations, yet this doesn't detract from the experience. The modeling of stalls seems accurate but these rarely lead to deadly spins. When played with an easy flight model, stalls are much less frequent though they never fully disappear as with say, Crimson Skies.

If full-realism isn't enough to challenge the hard-core pilots, consider that most combat sorties begin and end on an aircraft carrier. Taking off isn't much of a challenge as long as flaps are set and the throttle is set to full.

Landing, on the other hand, presents an entirely new challenge. Landing with low fuel on a small carrier with damaged flight controls presents one of the most memorable challenges. Unlike strip landings, a carrier landing feels wrong every bit of the way down to the deck. The angle feels too steep and the speed too high. Casual gamers already sweating this detail will be glad to know that the entire procedure can be skipped with the press of a single key.

On the downside, players can choose from only seven flyable aircraft. Though this is historically accurate it is a bit frustrating to have so few choices.

The handling and performance of each aircraft feels distinct with full-realism turned on, yet these differences largely disappear with the easy flight model. Though many bombers and attack aircraft make an appearance in the game, these remain unflyable.

Fear not. With Microsoft's semi-open architecture, gamers can expect to see the Avenger, Warhawk and other aircraft available for download or sold as add-ons any day now. Most hard-core gamers feel comfortable demanding that every simulation include a dynamic campaign. Alas, this is one feature missing from the game.

The game instead features a branching campaign that offers flexibility, variety and above all, historical accuracy. How realistic would it have been to have a dynamic campaign that enables the Japanese to win the war? Still, the results of each mission can negatively impact the remainder of the campaign. A capable wingman lost in combat may be replaced with an inexperienced greenhorn.

Pilots that fail to complete their missions satisfactorily will face early retirement. One realistic element has been left out: relocation to stateside.

I've always been fond of WWII combat vehicles - battleships, bombers and airplanes. However, I never had an opportunity to play a simulator which allows you to control these vehicles. I am especially fascinated by bombers, how they were used to level entire cities, destroy ammunition factories and bomb railway lines. I installed it and was really enjoying it, when I noticed that it was really taxing my low-spec laptop. So I decided to go for an older sim. I had one more problem though - I did not have a flight stick.

These are pretty expensive in my country, so I had to choose a simulator which allows me to use my mouse as a controller.
