I think I will definately be trying this one out, atleast borrow it from work
The graphics are great, and they have finally made ground targets more
prominent, great models for vehicles and awesome texture work, nice trees
too.

Cant wait to check this out !!

Bah, the game is very half ass made. From what I've seen at least. For example in the Me-262, a bunch of gauges are missing.

Real cockpit...

Looks pretty half ass to me. Microsoft are a bunch of lazyasses. Oh, and the gunsights are placed wrong on ALL the German planes.

I'm defiently gonna get this game unless of course gamspot gives it a mark below 7.5. angel:

Man that German Jet fighter sounds scary, If I was an allied pilot and that thing was behind me I 'll be pissing me pants.

I really want to get it, but before that, I need to get a decent Joystick. My old SideWinder Pro isn't gonna do much, and on top of that, it's totally off center. Try to fly when the plane steers to your immediate right indefinately. oOo:

Yeah, I find the ground and the cockpits to look pretty bad in CFS3, and I hear it's not realistic when the planes are pushed to their limits in terms of flight characteristics, but if all you're looking for is eye candy, then go for it.

Sturmovik's cockpits look much better, and they are complete too.
