CFS3 is a joke

Sorry Sherman, I disagree. There were P-80s in Europe as I stated earlier - the problem is I cannot remember my source - so I guess you win - I can't prove it.  ;)

But I did find this

The XP-80 was designed and built in the amazing period of only 143 days--37 days less than the original schedule. It was flown for the first time on January 8, 1944, and its performance was considered sensational.
The Army Air Force planned to build the Shooting Star in large numbers. However, only two of the machines arrived in Italy before the end of the war in Europe, and these were never used in operations. Despite the cessation of hostilities, production was continued on a reduced scale.

I wasn't trying to win anything, I was onlyattempting to make sure the facts were straight ,so to speak.  My sources for my arguements re: the P/F-80 were from my memory, Janes: Fighting Aircfraft of WWII & The complete book of Fighters. According to these sources the aircraft was not accepted until  February 1945 which would not have given the USAAF enough time to deploy it to Europe before the end of hostilities.  By the way the first ME262's were

delivered to the Luftwaffe in June 1944 and flew their first interceptor missions in that month.  

By the way I have succeeded in playing the game ,as an American, to it's conclusion.  It ends with the reconquest of Europe and the surrender of Germany in June 1946.

I still have trouble with the game stuttering and freezing up on occasions.  According to the Tech. Asst. at microsoft  the problem is caused by my game card that overheats due to the high graphic displays, etc.  He must be right  because I can turn off the computer for aprx. three hours and it will perform flawlessly for aprx. an hour.  

I just had a thought .  The USAAF Museum at Wright Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio should be able to put our P/F-80 arguements to rest for all time.

Sorry Sherman - a lot of times discussions are misunderstood due to the lack of voice inflection in written communications. I am not trying to win anything either - just a friendly discussion. I thought most here were interested in realism so I was just throwing in a little tidbit to help. Sorry if I offended.

I am new here and none know me yet. You will find that I am very light hearted and take little too seriously except for politics. Which I rarely discuss.

Besides - I am aware that I could possibly be wrong. I throw something out - someone counters - if it is correct - I learn something.

BTW - I made it till December last year before I made a mistake.  ;D

Oso:

Well, you capitulated too soon.  I just checked with the USAAF Museum @ WPAFB
re: the P-80.  According to the museum several P-80's were sent to Europe for demonstration purposes but the war ended before they could be used in combat operations.

When everything else fails check with the "hoses's mouth!"

Didn't say I was wrong just said I didn't want to ruffle feathers.  ;D
