I'm still waiting for a modern combat sim with sparrows, sidewinders, harm, paveway and counter measures etc. I'm not holding my breath however, seems MS is avoiding going there at all costs. I guess we're doomed to re-hashes of CFS1.

No need to wait its called Falcon 4.0-AF.  MS does not have the flight dynamics to do much more then enter the mid to high transonic area, early 1950's jets like Korean war vintage.  You can only stretch Cessna 150 flight dynamic so far.

You must have missed it....there is no CFS4 so there is nothing to talk about except what might have been.  Outside of MS there are only a handful of people who actually know what happened with CFS4 & as far as I remember you & whatshis name were not among them.

I will be sure to tell the guys flying the Doolittle raid mission today that you said they cant do it. 

Sorry James but PF was a failure in sales with less then 50,000 units sold in the US.  But you might want to give Oleg a hit of whatever it is you are smoking as it will surely make him feel better. 

BTW ever wonder why most of the PF add-on planes like the Petlyakov Pe-2 are ETO, MTO & EF?

Boy I thought this was going to be a discussion on CFS4 not about CFS3!

As noted above, your last response was amazingly incoherent even for you, I do believe it actually set a new standard, congratulations.   I can see no real point in trying to unravel it to generate a response.

Its too bad the one thing that was clear has no merit as the PF sales in the US as bad as noted were its high point, it did much worse in the rest of the world & did not break 80,000 units in total.

It has nothing to do with diversity most people including the major flight sim guys at MS don't like combat sims.  They are quite happy to spend hours doing nothing but flying from point a to point b.

They think you are a barbarian pretending to fly around killing other people.  Post about the glories of simulated air combat on thier forums & see how long you last.

The civilian FS series has out sold the entire combat sim market by 15 or 20 to one.  In the same period that PF sold 50K units in the US FS-9 sold almost 700,000.

That air combat sims don't sell well is a fact of life; deal with it. Because they don't sell well all the major producers have bailed out of the market.

A really mega combat sim hit might sell in the range of 500,000 units.  When it comes to civil vs. military civil wins hands down.



As for your desire for diversity,  MAW goes from the burning sands of North Africa over the frozen Alps into Germany & Romania spanning 1939 to 1945.

Combatant aircraft include, RAF, RN, USN, USAAC, RAAF, EVA, ADL'A, RNZAF, YVV, ICAF, RCAF, SAAF, FAFL & FAB for the Allies. The Axis includes, RA, ANR, ARR, Luftwaffe, ADL'AV, & BVV

These aircraft span aviation history from carrier launched fabric covered bi-planes attacking battleships to Jet & Rocket powered aircraft defending Germany in its last days.



My group alone has generated in excess of 100 quality aircraft for CFS3.

There are a number of other groups like ground crew & Italian wings that have also generated a large number of not only quality aircraft but also ships from capital ships down to player usable PT boats.

Notice how I can yank your chain & get 3 shameless commercial plugs in at the same time. Thank you for creating that opportunity.

I'd leave it James.
There were always a few on the 'big-I-am' trip in CFS chat online.
The real players tended to let 'em get on with it there as well.
They were happy to tell anyone who'd listen how important they were to combat flight sim's while people like u and me went off and played 'em.
