[SabreHawk]

Is that even availible yet? I've looked but dont see it anywhere, Hmmmm, is it at some other site perhaps?
I'd love to try it if it is availible.

Never heard of a "BoB CFS3 Expansion".  What is it?

[SabreHawk]

Well now I remember where I'd seen something about an expansion called this, it stands for "Battle of Britain".
BUT,..........I think(uh oh ), that it's for IL-2, not CFS3. But it would be cool for CFS3 too, better even cuz I dont remember the Russians being involved with the Battle of Britain, they had their own thing going on at the time as I recall so I dont see how it fits into IL-2. Hehe even "IL-2 Forgotten battles"( heh, the Battle of Britain is anything but forgotten .

Hmm, Barbarossa kicked off in '41, after the BoB as I recall.  Russians were all loved up to Herr Hitler at the time.

Never, in the field of human endevour, has so much been owed, by so many to so few......

[Wing Nut]

Are we perhaps talking about the Battle of Britain add-on for CFS2?

[RAAF453_Goose]

Naw there is a BoB addon for CFS3 and one for CFS2.They are both available from Justflight Addons.
www.justflight.com

Ahhh, cool Goose, thanks for the link! So there is one, well I'll have to check it out for sure.
I been watching the 69' classic film "The Battle of Britain" on DVD for the last week or so, boy it sure was a great film! Christopher Plummer, Micheal Cain, Robert Shaw,..........gotta love'em And those SPITS!!

Well I did find out some more on the BoB that I'd heard about, and it's not an add-on for IL-2, but rather it's a whole new sim from the same folks who made IL-2,.......UBIsoft/Maddox games. Sigh.........it's not due out till 2005 though. But it does sound like it'll be super!!
I'll see if I can find a link that works, and let ya'all know

[Wing Nut]

That looks really cool!  I may have to get that and I hardly even download freeware for CFS3 much less BUY it!

I know what BoB stood for.  I was simply wondering what the "CFS3 BoB Expansion" was.  Now I know.  Too bad it is payware. :-/

You know, I was very anti-payware. "Make it Fail" I used to say, partly being because I'm Scottish, but mostly being because I'm skint. When I part with cash they lift Tower Bridge, or theres a total eclipse in China. However, I had a feeling since CFS3 has been out over a year now and still no sign of a decent flyable freeware Lancaster bomber anywhere, the only way I was going to get one quick was if I broke the great taboo and spent some money. I spotted 'Firepower' in a local games shop and quickly grabbed it, and I have to say...I'm rather pleased with it. It wasnt all smooth I admit. There were initial problems with a couple of textures which meant I had to do a clean re-install of CFS3 first before re-installing Firepower, but that was more down to my over-modded CFS3 than Firepower itself. My only remaining grumble was the porpoising on some of the heavier bombers, but a recent patch from their forum seems to have fixed that. So now I have 14 new, well detailed and perfectly flyable (though some take a little practice) aircraft for CFS3 which includes 2x Lancs, 2x B-17's and a nice shiny B-29, with 50 new missions to fly them in. I'm quite happy with it. I know we've been so used to freeware downloads the last few years that the thought of having to go down that road seems unthinkable to a lot of people, but I cant help feeling that if Firepower was actually a Microsoft product, then the CFS3'ers would all be rushing out to buy it, 'cept then it would have been more expensive. I will say I only paid
