Re: Do any of you do combat?

Well I haven't gotten MSCFS yet cause I'm still waiting to see what everyone
thinks about it. I'm not interested in flying a commercial liner into the game,


I want to shot and kill nasty germans. So for those of us that aren't into
importing our massive MSFS98 airfiles into the game, WHAT THE ACTION LIKE?
Out of 214 messages or so I haven't seen anyone talk about how to get behind
that FW-190 or how to strafe a ship properly?...Whats up with the COMBAT in
this COMBAT game?

I've only had this running for a half hour or so to get some initial
impressions. No problems whatsoever with installation. PII233 64megs with
Creative Labs Voodoo2. I've flown Air Combat USA in Marchetti 260's using
laser sights & actual smoke, which is about as close to actual real combat as
possible without enlisting in the military. With the exception of G-forces &
stomach aches, I'd say MS Combat is the best combat sim I've used yet. Getting
my sights on the enemy is just like the real thing. I'm having a ball. Frame
rates have gotten down to 10 fps in cockpit front view, average 30-40 fps in
virtual cockpit & external views. I'm glad to see working guages in the
virtual view. The terrain elevations are leaps & bounds beyond FS98. Lakes
look like lakes should. So far so good.

In short it is a blast. Haven't played it much because I decided it was time
for a Bigger hard drive. Today i got into furball with 3 109 1 190 and a bf
110 and me in a Mark Nine Spit. It was great. Well worth the money.

As I observed, in the game and in real life, alied pilots were usually in
front of FW190's cannons. Not behind it. It's hard to get behind it, because
it's really fast. Beter turn around and rrrrruuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn......

Run Hell! Waxed them although the 190 did take a little "persuading".

To say the truth, it happens everywhere: real life, warbirds, older fsims,
but not often in CFS. Probably because german planes are undermodeled.
They fly worse than in real life..
