Which CFS is best?

....mmmm...WWII ATC.........

I've always loved that idea, probably won't happen though

CFS2 is more 'flexible' than CFS3, I've gotta say. But CFS3 has cooler graphics and features too, but they take off the frame rate and the engine ain't within my addon-creating capabailities. Still, even if you took away the bad frame rates and low flexibility, it still wouldn't be perfect, but better

All the CFSs are great, but CFS2 is just a bit better than the others, which I all still have and fly

That cfs3 is more power hungry than cfs2 is quite normal : the number of objects to be drawn is much bigger than for cfs2 (plane models, trees, houses etc...) : in comparison, the cfs2 landscape seems quite bare. Furthermore, thanks to a very good management of LODs, cfs3 can handle more planes in the air without fps to suffer. Try having a mission with 140 planes in the air with cfs2 : my computer can't handle it, it gradually slows down to a halt while I have a constant 20 fps with cfs3.

Cfs3 is as flexible as cfs2 : however, the tools are less known and quite different from cfs2 format. So cfs2 is indeed more easily modded but the extent to which we can modify cfs3 is mind-staggering.

I remember when I did a really bad Pearl Harbour mission. Geesh, when I'd hit the mission file size limit and tested the mission, it dropped to something like 2 FPS!! >:( >:(
