The Closest You Can Get To Being A WWII Fighter Pilot
Go ahead, take a victory roll. Microsoft Combat Flight
Simulator combines Flight Simulator realism with air combat excitement.
It features the same detailed attention to airplane physics and instrumentation
as the award-winning Microsoft Flight Simulator. Experience the same
unsurpassed level of realism and freedom of expandability - now combined
with computer-controlled wingmen and enemies to recreate the legendary
battles of WWII fighter pilots.
Enlist with the Royal Air Force, the Luftwaffe, or the U.S. Army Air
Force and prepare to experience the most realistic air combat simulation
ever to take flight.
 |
Fly the Real Thing
The realistic flight models, based on Flight Simulator, will challenge
pilots to learn the different characteristics of each airplane. The
performance of each aircraft has been tested and validated by WWII pilots,
including pilots of the Ghost Squadron.
|
|
Realistic Landscapes
The war-torn cityscapes of Berlin, London, and Paris are rendered in
realistic detail. Spot, chase, and shoot down your enemies in deadly
one-on-one dogfights over famous landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower
and Big Ben.
