There's another addon comming to CFS3 around x-mas, Over Flanders Field, WWI addon.

Ah now when it comes to World War I, there is some excellent stuff out there already, which spoils us Sim Pilots for choice. There's the dedicated Sims like RED BARON II which has recently been given a massive, technical and graphical update by a consortium of fan developers, there's Sim-lites like WINGS OF WAR (also under fan development) and WINGS OF HONOUR. Naturally there's quite a collection of stuff for CFS2, both commercial and freeware, and even though IL2 from Oleg Maddox doesn't have the open architecture that allows users making new aircraft, there are enough Biplanes out there, with readily available WWI freeware skins and missions to fly over what is probably the best-looking scenery in any current or past Flight Sims.
Plus the other good news is that Third Wire, who gave us STRIKE FIGHTERS and WINGS OVER VIETNAM, are currently developing a new WWI Flight Sim, and since they already have a huge fan base manufacturing add-ons for these current open architecture Sims (just go to http://forum.combatace.com to see how quickly these come out) the future for that project is looking very bright indeed.

LOL IB, these obviously don't work in CFS3.

[IndioBlack]

LOL, that's why we don't need CFS3  8)

Take a break man, someone peed in your coffee or what?

I beg to disagree for three reasons :
- dogfighting in a gladiator with a DR1 skin and another one with a SE5 skin doesn't really compare to a dogfight between say, a real model of an albatross and a SE5 with their proper flight characteristics.
- you can't use TrackIR with 6DOF in the sims you mention and that kit adds IMMENSELY to immersion.
- the best looking scenery and best looking effect will, IMO, be in OFF





So for all these reasons, you need cfs3 to be able to enjoy OFF.

Here we go again. Children we need to control our emotions and start to respect each other.

I expect collectively we did

It's CFS3 forum.

A question was asked about CFS3 addons.

Why on earth is anyone telling the poor guy about non-CFS3 stuff?

James007, I'm Not having a go, I've just bought CFS2 (bargain basement ebay price) in order to compare the flight and graphic engines. But I wouldn't go into the CFS2 forum and start going on about how good some other sim was. It just gets in the way of people looking for useful relevant info.

I think anyone coming into any product specific forum, and going on about how much better some other sim is, gets all they deserve.

Hey Bear, what's your home town? Then I can organise a Bomb-run in CFS3.
Lighten up, man, I'm just having a laugh.
I love your B-17, but that's all I use CFS3 for. STRIKE FIGHTERS is great for Korea, F-14s and Nam; IL-2 for biplanes and F-80s. CFS2 definitely for Korea.
I'm a flier, not a developer, and I take the best of what I see and use it how I want.

Peace, man.

Keep it to the right forums then, the guy was asking about CFS3.

Don't bother, OTU,
the bloke is merely interested in having an argument than talking on-off-whatever topic.

[AvHistory]

Using the IB principle of no duplicate planes maybe the others should withdraw their work since CFS3 has all those covered













OPPS, stuck the Panther in instead of the F-80 but we have those too.

[james007]

Av Bear you still have not given Sharpy a straight answer. When is MAW going to be release. By the way does are nice shots.

Here is where those shots belong.
