At higher magnifications through the targeting sight, the view looks a lot like old war footage where tracers can be seen reaching and crossing the guns' convergence points and scattering among the target, leaving impact signs as they hit. Ground targets also look better, and ships, tanks, trucks, and structures are easily identified. These targets also have damage effects and can expel smoke or explode.
The death sequence of the ships is particularly well done, with explosions followed by a listing and sinking, and ultimately an oil slick left in the water.
The price for all this is the usual; CFS3 is less forgiving on slower hardware and really prefers a strong video card. There's also a role-playing element in the campaign. The player's alter ego in the game earns experience points, can gain levels, and can earn points to spend increasing their skills such as vision or g-tolerance. Along with the aforementioned squadron points, the role-playing can add a little more player involvement for those that like such features.
Tying in with the increased emphasis on the air-to-ground role, CFS3's allied fighters are all steeds also known for strike duty, such as the P Thunderbolt, the P Mustang, the Typhoon, and the P Lightning. All nationalities gain medium bombers such as the B and B, and the inclusion of the rarely modeled Junkers Ju88 and DeHavilland Mosquito are fine additions to the series.
Players can man the bombardier and defensive gunner stations on these aircraft in addition to piloting them. There aren't any heavy bombers yet, and this really hurts the German campaign, as the German fighter pilots on the western front spent a lot of time trying to knock down the heavies. The sim's attempt to take the players beyond the stretch of the real war is seen in the inclusion of several experimental craft like the German Dornier , and the American P55, and jets like the amazing Gotha flying wing, the P 80 Shooting Star, and the Vampire.
These remarkable craft are featured in CFS3's selection of "what if" missions. Sadly, the flight models in CFS3 aren't as accurate as we expected. Aircraft can stall, but throwing them into a spin takes some real effort, especially with the jets.
The documentation comes in digital format on the CD, which is unfortunate as most flight sim fans appreciate a printed manual. On the bright side, there are several digital manuals and each is nicely decorated with a nostalgic sepia tone and photos, and features historical anecdotes.
Multiplayer doesn't appear to use the Microsoft Gaming Zone as earlier CFS games did, and the change has both positives and negatives. The good news: the multiplayer lobby and matching function is now integrated into the game and facilitates quickly getting online. The bad news: CFS3 seems to rely on the players to provide the hosting by using their own PCs as servers. This may not be a problem for broadband users, but where earlier CFS games played well on the Zone even for dial-up gamers, CFS3 has more noticeable lag.
CFS3 does add cooperative play in missions, not campaigns , which is an improvement. Should you wish, you can contact Ian via email at ian.

I was impressed with some of your other aircraft that I downloaded in the past, but I think that it would be a good idea to try and make a Boulton Paul Defiant as used in the battle of Britain. I understand that this is a game that is set in the middle of the war, but seeing as you do a MK 1 Hawker Hurricane, I think that it would be nice to do more original aircraft like the MK 1 Spitfire, or BFe. But no pressure and keep up the good work!

After install replaced the installed cfs3. It worked perfectly afterwards, can even play without mounting the ISO file now. Ok --i have downloaded the cfs3 prgram many times--but these new downloads will not accept my joystick controls or keyboard again such as keyf6 goes to pilot seat no it does nt bro--the joystick will only operate the wing flaps right wing up left wing down at the same time--now previously the joystick and keyboard worked perfectly and they are basically less than a year old thats why i keep trying to download a proper program --let me try another program like pacific ww2 --please ok??
EightBall 0 point. Kojak -4 points. Downloaded, unzipped, ran CFS3. My program on disk got corrupted and I am so glad you are allowing me to download another program to try. I would be so very willing to share the whole manual, it's by no means small, but I haven't the ability to copy it. Mosquito69 2 points. Bon, il est en anglais mais c'est pas grave Goes without saying, we have to unzip the downloaded zip file first! I also selected my nVidia GTX m to run the program and could max out all graphics settings!
Wonderful entry! All we have to do is run cfs3. Display setup e. Game is awesome and plays flawlessly in Windows 10 bit. Many thanks and Happy Holidays! This game was my addiction back then! Now i can play it all again! Thanks, MyAbandonWare! My nostalgia is satisfied :. Jamie -3 points. Docterbomb 2 points.
