European Air War is a classic, and still worth owning, if you can find it.  I've played a bunch, and my humble opinion is EAW is the most immersive of all.  And even though it's old, the graphics are still pretty decent.

get your EAW addons here:

Heh, I remember in EAW escorting a flight of bombers back across the channel, and learn of an outbound formation getting mauled because it has no fighter escort.  Then I can get vectored over in that direction and begin mixing it up!

Now, that's what I call immersion!   ;D

Kinda got busy for a while.  You know, I still don't have CFS3 yet?  Don't  know what I'm waiting for.

I got it when it was released,   and have had  the best   of times in it . I try my best to promote it,  and  still fly CFS2 often.

 I make it a concious effort  to  get those  that I meet in the games , to visit  sites  like this, through links from my own sites,  to enhance their experiences.  I try to share  those  tricks ,  that others  just use to their own advantage.

 CFS3 rocks.  just , use care  in what and how ya add to it.
I have PF now,  but  like  CFS2 & 3  alot more.( no huge patches to make them playable )

YES

mainly for two reasons :

http://off.oldbrowndog.net/

and

http://www.medairwar.com

but no if :
- you want to record movies
- you're heavily into multiplayer

Other than that, it has its pluses and minuses but definetely worth it.
