I'm interested in a combat flight sim.

And why is that?

You have already posted one of the answers.

mind you that the FM has been updated serval times.

Yes, always an improvement, in my oppinion the first FM was already better then the CFS  flight engine.

And by what experience have you to compare the flight models with?

[pepper_airborne]

From my own flying on both of the sims, reading some articles on how those planes work back on those days, and a WWII Hurricane pilot from the 151th wing in vienna.

I guess it must be a fact then if you say so.

Thats your oppinion.

And thats one opinion to take very seriously in this game I find.

Expect heavy flak.

IL-2 is loved by those whos systems cant handle CFS3.
I must admit it is a great arcade game, but in IL-2, can I fly bombers as well as fighters and operate the turrets and bombardier positions ? ...No. Are there lots of aircraft, ships and scenery models available that I can download and add to it ?...No...Well that's a shame.

It's not the first time a dedicated IL-2'er has used this forum to take a knock at our FLIGHT SIM and likely wont be the last....Pity.

Thanks for the information. I'll probably go for a CFS2 or 3 rather than than any of the other versions.

Mac:

i never took a knock at CFS, read again.
I'd hardly call it an arcade game, Also ive been told that they used fixed crosshairs in CFS, not sure bout that tough.

Well. they didnt allow costum content in IL-2 wich is quite understandable in a Combat FS, but that is just my view.

Gregory, nice post, i guess that puts it quite good. Lets hope someday someone finds enough time to bring us a accurate combat FS.

This is interesting!

BTW, my worthless $.02.  I own Il-2 and Pacific Fighters.  They didn't last long on my HD.
