Prop or Jets! Which do you think....

Yeah, a Korean War CFS4 sim would be pretty cool, considering the fact that props were also involved such as the P-51 (early  years), Corsair, Skyraider, oh, and of course--the B-29. A game with Sabres and Migs would be cool, with all that bombing and dogfighting that really took place during the war.

I like the idea of a cold war era sim that would span from Korea to Nam.  It could ber done in stages with the core releade being the Korean conflict and then the basic sim platform could be added to with expansion modules.  It should definatly have more accurate to life flight dynamics.  Microsoft needs to distance all their sims from the arcade/appeal to kids and everyone types.  They need to take a lesson from Austin Meyer.  X-plane dose have FAA pc training certifications because the dynamics are accurate.  System fideliity should get equally high attention. Every gauge, switch, button, and dial should be modeled and fully functional including radar operation.  Anyway, imagine doing a recon flight in a true-to-life "blackbird" model, working recon cam and all over the heart of russia and having to outrun sams @ FL 80 doing Mach 3.3? Sound like fun anyone?

I'd say the next CFS version to come out should be about the late Pacific theater during WWII.  The Corsairs would bew improved versions over CFS2 and the new product could also have Mustangs, as well as advanced versions of Jap planes and even some experimental types.

Microsoft would do well to come out with a Jet simulator separate from the CFS products.  I think it should include modern aircraft like the F-15, F-16, F-18 along with other American types and Russian planes like the SU-33, Mig-29, SU-27 and so on.  It could also have the Eurofighter, the Harrier, the Viggen, the Mirage...  maybe even the F-22 and the Joint Strike Fighter.  It could have missiles that lock on and the airplanes that FS2004 has for military jets could be used for the new Jet fighter simulator.  It wouldn't really be hard as all that would have to be done is take FS2004 and make it possible to shoot guns and missiles and the other things a fighter simulaotr would require for gameplay.

I would hope that Microsoft would give it serious consideration!

they need to make a futuristic simulator especially one bareing the Swordfish 2 from Cowboy Bebop... tha'd be cool... but back you your question CFS4 should be Korean War to Vietnam War Era aircrafts

[Souichiro]

I'd love CFS4 to be CFS3 like but then in the pacific. More Air to ground stuff seems cool to me....Could include the Netherlands indies and the Dutch AF there

[The_Jug_Rules]

I think it should be both.  They should move on to the korean war.  That way you could get your hands on some late model corsairs, or some f 86's!!!

I don't care what they make as long as the gameplay is good. I wish new games had good career modes like Sierra's original Red Baron.

I like the thought of a Korean War to Vietnam sim. Just imagine the possibilities for add-ons. There could be add-ons going all the way back to WWI and since it would already have the capability of Jets and missiles, you'd be able to create add-ons for the Gulf War forward.

i enjoy digfighting in props, because its more "personal" than shooting a plane down with a guided missile from 5 miles away. id like to see CFS4 as something from cold war as well, because it has a mix of both. i could also see something about the vietnam war, a good mix of old and new props and jets. (AD-1 skyraiders rock!) the migs, sabres, phantoms, etc were also a huge impact, plus, i think it would be fun to try to intercept a "Bear" to shoot down with a carrier based plane.-edit: yes, even a korean war sim would be an excellent idea, there isnt a huge following or understanding by a lot of younger folks about that war.

I think "Combat Flight Simulator 4 :  Battle for Pacific" willl great!  ;)

But if jet, include Tomcat, please!

I"m a World war two guy. I love jets but my real love is prop since they wear more difficult to fly and where the original method use to fly. Its simply more fun. Jets are fun to fly too, but they do not have the romatic feeling that props give you.

I would like them to develope CFS4 to be base on the Pacific Theater since the European Theater is simple over done.

There are just to many European base Fligt Simulators and other pograms in the Market today. Its a little over done. It might turn some potential future Sim pilots off. How many times can you shot down the same enemy before it gets boring!

But I would like to be able to expanded it to other Theater as well. Like Europe in World  war two or  Korea and World war one plus the cold war and Modern times.
