I play CFS 3 online and no matter how much i play people cheat. You pass someone and then go into a hard turn and by the time your in that turn they are behind you grilling your behind with lead.
Havent tried CFS3 online yet but still get fed up with shooters in the no-shooting games and its not very realistic when som bozo creams past you in Zero doing Mach 3….upwards !!!!!.
fortunately, we dont do that sort of thing on the forum game…no sireeee we dont !!!!!
see ya there ?

Ran round the shops this afternoon but none had a copy of CFS2, so I’ll have to pass.
Interestingly one shop already had a pre-owned copy of CFS3 for sale at £15, but I managed to resist.
not a problem mate.
Normally do this at least once a month on the forum. Be good to get some extra’s in cos it is really quite good fun and its better than playing the pc opponents cos they always fly the same pattern and you can knock em out quite easily….stick some one else on the other end tho’ and its a different matter !
till next time….when you WILL HAVE CFS2…. have fun !
I tried taking a piccie form the video but for some strange reason, the tapes abit thin there……ho hum !
Perhaphs we oughta see if we can get her to join in our forum one day ?

unfortunately if you down load a plane from any site on the web, unless they other guys you playing against have it on their pc but not necessarily flying it, they should see you in your pride and joy…if howver, they havent got it in their ‘library’ it will default to a standard CFS2 plane.
Whether they have it or not, does not effect you flying it tho’ !
Hey, enjoy anyway mate….see ya Friday night (or tommorrow if you want to practice ?)
IL2 forgotten battles is very good
I’m still playing around with Combat flight sim 3, but prefer CFS2 mainly because there are shedloads more freebee downloads of some very impressive planes for that game. see Red section Scramble thread and join in mate
IL2 is good
Crimson Skies is a bit naff
Depends if you want to tootle around admiring scenery or balls to wall dogfighting.
and if you want a real laugh…. I have MS flight sim 3 (i think) on a single floppy disc !!!! and yes it works but my pc is somewhat way too powerfull really, but hey ?
B17 is good in the respect that you can operate any of the positions from pilot to any of the gunner stations even the bambadier, but be warnd it doesnt have a warp facility so if you want to do a raid over deepst darkest wherever, its gonna take a while to get there
Mig Alley, got it but dont recomend it that much.
Hey whatever you get it should be good nowadays, just get afew beers in and enjoy….especially this Friday night !!!

Tell me more!!!!!!What do I need? (other than a pc) where do I find this game? How do I get myself a P51 by Friday, or will I have to resort to something dull?
This could be fun.
P51’s ?
Check out Simviation and look in CFS2 downloads. all is in there mate
Right you ‘orrible lot…
1……geta copy of Combat Flight Sim 2
2……get an internet connection….allright, allright, some of you already have !
3……look up Microsoft Gamezone on the net.
4……get a .net password. I think (a long long time ago when i did this so it may not still hold 100 % true so please bear with me if i’m wrong…..if you try and log onto the zone it will ask you for your password and login. If you dont have one, I think you get the option to set one up…WARNING…TRYING TO GET A DECENT LOGIN AND PASSWORD CAN BE VERY HARD COS INVARIABLY, SOME ONE ELSE HAS ALLREADY THOUGHT OF WHT YOU WANT TO USE AND HAVE BEATEN YOU TO IT !!!
5…….when you have your logon and password and then try to logon to the Gamezone, it will probably tell you you dont have a certain file that is needed and do you want to download it….answer YES (the file is only a few hundred kilobytes in size and takes very little time to download even on a normal telephone internet connection.
6…….in Gamezone, go to the section marked ‘CDROM required games’ and enter then select MS Combat Flight Sim 2 and go to a game near gamed 50 called ‘Flypast’ and double click on it then click on the ‘join’ button and you are in dont forget the password will ‘forum’ in lowercase !
Now playing CFS2 with the standard stuff is reasonable but its a bladdy site more fun if you run a few non standard planes. One of the best site to download from is
http://www.simviation.com
Sorry I havent worked out how to do shortcuts yet !.
Go to the CFS2 section and you have something in the region of 60 pages each holding around 10 planes, of free…YES I SAID FREE !! planes for CFS2. They are zipped files and are an absolute doddle to load and run in the game.
Another good site is
http://www.avhistory.org
agian shed loads of free downloads
I will be online tommorrow night …Thursday 17th…at around 20.00 hrs if any one wants to give it it a go before the big one of Friday evening.
My Gamezone name is….wait for it……WRECKED-PLANE told you the choices where cr*p !)
See ya there, and as Snapper says….watch your six….and as I say…..DAGADAGADAGADAGADGAGADA………Dont think…Look…Search for the B*st*rds, never fly straight and level for more than 30 seconds in the combat zone !!!
Actually, I normally Shhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii just before i smack into deck or get blowded up again !
See ya there
gimme a little while and i’ll try and answer later tonight…stay tuned !
I have a problem with spell checking too……
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea
Eye strikes a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am rite oar wrong
It shows me straight a weigh
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong
I halve run this poem threw it
And am shore yore pleased two no
Its letter perfect all the weigh
My chequer told me sew
