CFS III

I picked up CFS 3 over the weekend. I was looking for a combat flight sim and aside from some rappy looking ones, that is all they had. I was looking for IL2. Anyway, it took me getting used to the controls (I have a Yoke and rudder pedals) as I normally just fly the Cessna 172 in MSFS 2004.

So for the first 8 missions, I was an "ace-maker". I got my ass handed to me. Now I have settled in and am evening the score. 25 kills so far.

What fun!

Here is my custom ride

Flying for the USAAF, eh ? Good luck... It took me many tries before being able to successfully land on French ground with this Air Force.

Huh, Hussars?

I'm still flying quick combat missions while I hone my dogfighting skills and try out different airplanes. So far, the Lightning has been my best luck, although I did fly one Typhoon mission that kicked ass.

Could be, I need to get a memory problem sorted out. My machine has been hiccuping a bit. I wanted to get a screenie of the Ju-88 that I bagged last night. Nothing like seeing "hit, hit,hit" then KABOOM as it explodes in the air. Plus, I want to get a little more used to the combat before I go to a chase view while dogfighting.

I don't know what he was on about, Lanc. I said I was looking for the game. Obviously, I didn't find it.

...You have absoultly no Idea how happy it made me to see your reactions to the WW2 sim experience evangilder. I now understand your liking of my screen shots. I run a CFS-3 game in my computer as well.

CFS-2 is not compatable with CFS-3. I await CFS-4 to restart what I have going on in CFS-2.

I've got a 256 ATI 9800 Pro & CFS-3 at the resoulition I need, 'jitters' my viedo card as well. Heavy heavy program, & so far, in helping a few of my friends with getting thier games running, each computer was set differently, & all hiccup as you put it from time to time.

Anyway... Since my 'Sceeen Shots' belong in a different place, go check out my CFS-2 Lighting there.

This was great.
