PeckingFury -> Looking for a good ww2 air combat sim. (5/29/2003 4:23:57 AM)
Was thinking of grabbing an air combat sim, just cant decide on which. Anyone out there have any suggestions, I would appreciate it most greatly. last sim I played was of the janes brand, f-15 I believe, its been awhile.

For an area that has been over-covered on the ground but sadly neglected in the air, I would heartily recommend IL-2 Sturmovik or the newest version, IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles. Eastern Front at it's finest.

IL-2 Sturmovik is by far the best WW2 sim out there.

Thanks for the replies, I have heard a lot of good things about that one.

Do yourself a favor and go with IL-2 Forgotten battles Dont even consider any of the others

Fallschirmjager, what is your opinion of FB against the original IL-2? Is the campaign game any good? That was one thing I wasn't crazy about in the original, linear campaigns. Is the upgrade worth it?

Fallschirmjager -> (5/30/2003 1:00:04 AM)
Yes... Double the planes...new maps (gulf of finland is awesome) Flayable bombers....3 new nations to fly for...campaign Only problem...sometimes your campaign will just stop when they give you an impossible mission...they need to patch where you can skip them

Jim1954 -> (5/30/2003 1:12:36 AM)
Thanks for the feedback. They will probably have the patch out by the time I get around to funding the purchase. Are any of the user campaigns developed for the original ,"importable" into FB?

I got it the day it came out and no patch Ppl have cried for month that the super flak needs to be toned down Its very very accurate and makes bombing mission suicide

Jim1954 -> (5/30/2003 1:18:39 AM)
Ok, you can be the beta tester for it, I'll wait a while till they get it right. Dam, don't you HATE it when something so promising always shows up with a glitch. One reason I chose to be overly patient for CL. ;)

SkidLid -> (5/30/2003 10:00:37 AM)
Forgotten Battles is excellent,patch ETA is about a month.Still plays ok without patching...most issues are with head-to-head play,and a few flight model issues.
