Lost it

[forfun]

Hey
Is CFS1 freeware now? I know it's not but im gonna ask anyways in hope. Because i have a new computer now and have actually lost the game, and it was a really great game, and i miss it.

I'll just have to buy the new CFS, is it as good as number 1 though?

cheers

CFS1 is not freeware but it's still available if you know where to look. If your local software store doesn't have it I'm sure you could find a copy on Ebay. As for the new CFS as you put it, CFS2 is excellent & many developers like me are still creating addons for it. I can't comment on CFS3 as it won't run any sense on my old machine, although I was unimpressed with what I saw when I tried it. While browsing in PC World last week I couldn't help noticing that CFS2 was still being sold at its original price of

What machine are you running? (specs wise)

Because i heard that CFS3 runs quite well on less able ( ) computers. Because of the new engine.

At PC World the other day, I picked up a 5-CD package including a couple of Helicopter sims I haven't flown yet, CFS1 and both a Cold War and Pacific-based CFS1 addon (very nice Corsair included) for the princely sum of

I think this would depend on the individual machine. Mine is a PIII 800, 512 Mb RAM + Voodoo5 5500 running on WinMe. I never really expected CFS3 to run well on it so can't say I was too upset when it didn't. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of FS9 on "old faithful". It will have to last me a bit longer yet.

You can still find it (in the U.K. anyway). Last time I saw it, it was

My experience is the exact opposite of Grizzly's. CFS1 was my first M$ sim. To be honest I didn't think much of it at all until I found the fledgling Simviation. It wasn't even called that when I first stumbled across it. I'd only been online for a few weeks & didn't know my way around. I soon learned how to convert FS98 aircraft to work in CFS1 & never looked back. This is the attraction of CFS & FS for me. You can make it exactly as you want it. I've never played online as it never appealed to me. Depends what floats your boat.

Oh yeh, there's nothing wrong with add-on's if that's what floats your (grrr.., now ya got me saying it!
