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. 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. All I ask is minimal assistance from you during the troubleshooting process. In the extremely rare event I cannot get this title to work on your system I will take it back for a full refund. Rapid response technical support for three years is always an e-mail or phone call away. Want the game off your computer? Click Uninstall. Also, elaborate flight control systems (pedals, pilot realistic yokes, etc.) will not work.

Note that joysticks are supported while gamepads are not.

One step: Insert my CD and the game will automatically work on your computer. I will also provide a compatibility CD that will allow the game to run under ALL VERSIONS of Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP, both 32 and 64 bit. The box is pictured for reference only and is not included. An on-screen, printable manual is also included. This listing includes the original game CD. This is my unconditional guarantee for three years. My games are genuine, install in one step, look, sound and play in Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP like they did in the old days, or your money back.
