Question Microsoft Combat Simulator 2?

Has anyone yet had a go at Microsoft Combat Simulator 2, the new version which is set in the Pacific theatre of operations during World War 2, and what is your opinion? Thank you, TTT

It's just like the first version except the Germans have been replaced by the Japanese. Carrier take offs and landings are introduced. CFS1 installed for about 257mb on the hard drive, CFS2 is a 2 disk job that wants about 850mb. The easy mode in the campaigns is a lot easier than CFS1. Whilst its not bad I don't think its worth the money if you already have CFS1...put it on your list for your next visit to Hong Kong.

Thanks for the info, Ace. What I am going to do is rush in to the Game Shop tomorrow and pick up CFS 1 which is going at the bargain price of IR£19 and get going on that. Thank you, TTT.

I have just bought CFS2 in Detroit for $39.99. Now I see it available in the UK for about the same.

I only muck about with both 1&2 on a laptop with an 8mb graphics card so I suffer a bit.

However I have to say that CFS2 has much improved graphics in terms of scenary but is not so good on showing aircraft at close range. Damage on both yours and the opponents aircraft is better, and the flight models are much improved.

Frankly in moderate to hard profiles the aircraft high speed stall too quickly, making dogfighting difficult.

My only oddity really is that my point of view hat on a Sytek Digital Cyborg 3D has an eight point view in CFS1 but will not register as more than a four point in CFS2. Anyone know why?
