Strike Fighters: Project 1, SP1 Patch Page 6
Back To Page 5 Gameplay Overall I have not been impressed with the gameplay. Instant action is actually quite good and one of the more “fun” aspects of the sim. Your placed in a close in fight with multiple bogies and lots if immersive radio calls. A good bit of the time though its hard […]

Combat Flight Simulator 3 Page 2
Back to Page 1 Graphics Aircraft: The quality of graphics in CFS3 varies from fair to outstanding. The aircraft exterior graphics are what I would call industry standard. Not significantly better than other current flight Sims, but overall pretty darn good. When I finally got my computer ‘ CFS3 tuned’ I really enjoyed just watching […]
