I would like to know what most memeber will like to see in CFS4. I now what I want to see in the next edition . I would like to it to Finish the Pacific War since most Simulators are dedicated to the Eurapean Theater war. Its time for a change.Maybe the Mediterreanian Theater would also be nice. An improvement on AI and better sound effects would improve the quality of the game Series.A quality M.B. in similar format as in CFS2.A Improvement in the communication capability with your Squadron members and others and perhaps to change from one plane to another in your Squadron.I hope to hear from thew other members. Thankyou

FS2K4 with guns. Get rid of that dumb CFS3 engine and restore compatability with other M$ sims. It MUST run on a wider selection of machines also and not just super high end systems. It needs to be historicaly accurate also.
Be great to move into the Korean conflict but M$ need to include all the major players, Canada, Australia and the UK as well as the US and China/North Korea.

CFS4 shall be the end of the Pacific war. They ended CFS2 in 1943 for a reason.

This is my opinion:

Microsoft's next Combat Flight Simulator should have be compatible with FS2002 and FS2004.  It should have the ability to support gun turrents (like CFS3), so that bombers can be produced realisticly.  The new sim should also have guided weapons, and the ability to make your own.  You should have the following opinions when flying:

-Free Flight
-Quick Combat
-Single Missions
-Campaign (like CFS2)
-Multiplayer

The program should also include a mission builder and new SDKs.  With all that, anything is possible, from modern day combat to WWI.

And more ways to customize your plane.

You're kidding, right?

I like the idea of photo recon missions being added to the regular bomb/dogfight scenarios.  It gets pretty boring doing the same thing after a while.  Plus with the recon missions you would get in there down and dirty with the bad guys...
