    I liked it because it offers more in choices and I am a nut for WWII IL Stormivik is not as forgiving but you have to "fly" them both.

    Incredible missions that intrigue. As with any new technology, two years is actually a long time. CFS2 was great, CFS3 is better! Same old game but more of it, and the graffics have improved. Will there be a CFS4? I hope so!

    I use this in order to play the WWI combat simulator mod Wings Over Flanders Field (WOFF). And the result is the best combat flight simulator I have ever experienced. Has better terrain graphics than IL2 Sturmovik though the aircraft graphics are about the same. Career mode is better done than IL2's and delivers an abundance of satisfying statistical data. The enemy AI is varied andI use this in order to play the WWI combat simulator mod Wings Over Flanders Field (WOFF). And the result is the best combat flight simulator I have ever experienced.

    I have played a lot of flight simulation games; this one definitively gives you more control over the fate of the world than any I have played before.

    It simply wasn't polished enough before it was booted out the door. [Jan 2003, p.96]

    An experience which never rises above being a cool simulation, albeit a fantastically detailed and well thought out one.
