Hi

First of buy CFS2 and completly fill the folders wth all the best add-ones.

Pros of this sim: runs on virtual any pc with good fr.

Cons fo this sim: you must be jokeing Grin

Then if your PC can take CFS2 with max settings with about 50-60 fps fo and buy CFS3.

Pros of this sim: Great graphics and good campaign.

Cons of this sim: You suffer due to the fact that it is a ressorce hog.

Buy CFS3

I bought CFS1 (it was my first flight sim) I was delighted with it, got all the addons that I could find got some payware and I was one happy boy

Then CFS2 came along, nothing that different didn't bother Grin

Then I played CFS3 at my uncle's house, WOW Grin

it was great so I bought it

So comparing CFS1 to CFS3

Pros of CFS1----- Great fun
Good mission and campaign
Cons of CFS1----- Old Graphics
   Bad damage profile
   Not very realisitic

Pros of CFS3-----Great Dynamic Campaign
   Great damage Profile
   SUPER FUN
Super online fun

Cons of CFS3----Unless you have a powerful comp, it
   runs slwoer than a turtle Grin

Anyway CFS3 is the best

Hope this was helpful

How the heck can you say that Shocked

CFS2 has loads of differences compared to CFS1.

Starters:
It was the first combat sim (by Microsoft) to include bullet holes and breaking arts.

It was the first sim to allow take offs from carriers (properly anyway).

It IS the best game for add-ons.

It feels more realistic CFS3.

It has a bigger add-on family.

Better add-ons than any other CFS.

Also its more frame rate family.

The fact it has been around for about 4 years and is still going strong says something dosen't it Wink
