Questions

I'd like to buy a combat simulator, but there are a few questions i want to know.

1. do you land and take-off like in a normal flight simulator,
2. what are the requirements for this game.
3.does this have jet age aircraft?

1. Yes. You can skip the long flight to the battle, by warping, but you still have to take off and land.
2. here
3. Some 1940's jets, yes. De Havilland Vampire, P-80, Ho229, and Me262 are included, and I believe there are downloads for Mig-15's and F-86's.

sweet, im guessing that theres not near as much upkeep in the plane as their is in fs04 right?

I dont own FS2004, so I wouldnt know. But I havnt found myself scrolling through checklists to find out if I need to turn wing de-icers on, etc. It's pretty basic.

By the way, if you get CFS3, you really need to download MAW. It's an add-on for CFS3, and it really makes the whole experience much better. www.medairwar.com  ;)

NEVER believe the requirements set by the manufacturer itself : they often are the basic requirements to run a slide-show but not a game.
What could be average requirements for cfs3 to be run at good settings and with average performance
- a 2Ghz cpu
- 512 Mo ram (1024 Mo being a lot better as cfs3 likes RAM)
- a quite recent vid card (a 64mo card will do of course; to give you idea, I ran cfs3 once with a 9800 pro, and it ran well)

If you can throw on this a sound card (not the onboard sound chip) to free some cpu power, then you're all set.
