Long live CFS1, 2 and 3!

Hi Bear,
Yeah, that's his Condor. I used it since it was the the only Lufthansa-used aircraft I could see in my CFS2 since Tempelhof is a civil airport of course.

You can also add this one by Mathias.



The civilian version could carry 10 passengers & was also used as a fast mail plane.

Most of the bomber versions still have the windows in them.

I've got his He111 (KG26, the Loewen Geschwader, hence Vestigum Leonis on the nose) but I never knew he had one with the desert skin and whatnot on it. Cool stuff Bear. I did forget the He111. Mail plane, yes.

Hey Bear, like your MAW stuff!

















(hoping this will provoke more MAW propaganda, ssshh! )

I take it you're not aware of Alessandro's (the GC painter) little personal site?
Check the archives link to the left, three pages of He111 skins and a lot more.  ;)

I'm not intending to get into which is the better sim: I only prefer CFS1 because I could play around with the textures, missions, etc., before I ever went online to find out there were download and forum sites. My only previous relationship to a computer was in the read-outs. Also, most anything I can generate for CFS1 can be edited for CFS2 use (with a bit more work, I've found I can do the reverse in some cases).
Strangely, what enticed my entry:

We're carpet-bombing Germany tonight, so fingers crossed. Umm.... We'll have to use CFS3, cos it's better for big four-engine bombers. Darn  8)

Here's where you may just as well use CFS1 graphics for a bomber attack -- the less "visual" the target defenders have, the better

Lower Saxony?

Lower Saxony was the original Saxony (Upper Saxony was from a later migration than the incursion into what became England). Now, don't miss and hit Demark.

It all sounds like England to me (Saxony--the Saxons )

Oops, Bomber, I got sidetracked while making a modification on my posting. Anyway, you may really miss the target if you hit Essex, Sussex or Wessex (= East Sax[ons], South Sax[ons] or West Sax[ons]) in England. But, yup, same peoples (originally).

I choose CFS3 for Heavy Bombers, because the Sim has gone a long way towards making that a main feature. (Apart from when it was first released, and all Level Bomber AI performed dive attacks  :D )
I would never use CFS3 for fighter flying, because I find it the least pretty of all the Sims. That's just my personal preference.

CFS1 and CFS2 don't quite lend themselves to Heavy Bombers, having strictly been designed for fighter combat, with a little extra mud-moving thrown in for the Pacific Theatre. However, I have been investigating some of the Bombsight concepts that have been developed for CFS2, as hopefully, FOX-FOUR will get around to doing a B-29 / A-26 Invader Campaign one-day.  8)

Ah, I was watching a DVD and it showed Afrika Korps He-111s taking off for a raid with that emblem on the nose too. Sorry, my mistake, your desert skin is OK!
