Thank you...IO read all the reviews I could find and while they awed at the
scenery and the "new graphics engine" I did not see any really new features
or game play aspects that really set it apart from CFS1. Thanks...I guess
it mat have been an omen anyway I went to Office Max, Officemax Depot, and a
Walmart Supercenter and none of those 3 stores had CFS 3. They do have CFS 1
for $9.98..not a bad deal really.

There are a ton of mods and a couple of commercial add-ons to CFS3 that
make it worth owning. And the gameplay is a lot differnet to CFS1, CFS1
has scripted missions and CFS3 has a dynamic campaign, big difference.
Once CFS3 is tweaked up it is quite good. Get the Firepower add-on if
you do get CFS3. I have CFS1 but I certainly don't put it above CFS3, no
where near actually. I have CFS2 also but it is just scripted missions
too, but it's far better than CFS1. What you should really be buying is
IL2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles if you want the best WWII flight simulator.
