All the models look good and are easily recognized as accurate. The sky isn't the only target-rich environment, as the surface is also populated with various targets just waiting to explode in attractive-looking fireballs. Filling the sky are numerous other fighters (including favorites like the ME-262), bombers, and even buzz bombs. You can choose from eight single-engine prop fighters to fly: the Hawker Hurricane, Supermarine Spitfire Marks I and IX, ME 109E and 109G, FW 190A-8, P-47D, and P-51D. There's a range of playing possibilities, including free flight, quick missions, single missions, campaigns, training missions, and multiplayer dogfighting. Initial impressions are highly favorable.
In the end, though, Combat Flight Simulator falls slightly short. Indeed, all the detail gamers come to expect from the series can be found here, whether it's beautifully rendered aircraft, detailed cockpit panels, or real-world terrain. After all, Flight Simulator has always been credited for its flight models and attention to detail.
It sounds like a perfect match: Pair Microsoft's popular Flight Simulator engine with the thrill of fighting in the skies over Europe in the '40s. In the next few months a small squadron of titles will be taking off, with Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator the first one off the tarmac. Thankfully, gamers will once again be able to fly in the glory days of air combat, the Second World War. What is it? Another onslaught of F22 sims? No. The drone of aircraft can be heard on the horizon, approaching in droves to your local retailer. Sirens wail and ack-ack guns begin to pepper the sky with shrapnel blossoms.
