PC combat flight sim
The Flyboys Squadron CFS game was easy to install and set up. I'm using a Logitech control Stick, so some fine tuning was required for playing the game. The flight models of the WWI aircraft seem to be quite accurate and are actually more difficult to fly than the WWII Bonus aircraft included with the game. Updates to the game are easily accessed from the game itself and install seamlessly. There are many types of missions to fly, so the hard core flight sim pilots should never be bored. I've not tried on line playing because I feel that I'm still a novice (flying as a cadet)and have much to learn.
The graphics, realism, sound effects and challanges are exquisite. I've "flown" many combat flight simulators in the past and have found the Flyboys CFS to be one of the most demanding and realistic I've ever flown. Flying a mission always results in sweaty hands and an increased pulse rate. The illusion of flight and combat is very well simulated.
For the ultimate in flight controls, I recommend the Thrustmaster HOTAS system. I have one, but as my computer peripheral space is currently quite limited, I am using the Logitech wireless control stick. I'm curious to find out how this game will compare to "First Eagles".
As background information, I am using a computer with a 3.2 gig processor, 2 gigs of RAM, 250 gig hard drive, Radeon 9600 video card and a Sound Max Digital Sound Card. For the most part, my system is adequate, but at times, the video is 'jerky'. Keep in mind, however, that I set the video to the the highest possible setting so the game is not at fault at all. If other users experience this 'jerkyness', I suggest that some of the video settings be adjusted to minimize or eliminate it.
