In case there is still anybody here interested in PC flight sims ...

Third Wire Productions have just released the latest addition to their

series.

Wings Over Israel is a jet air-combat game recreating the intense air

combat experience in the skies over Middle East during three major

historical conflicts - 1967 Six-Day War, 1973 Yom Kippur War, and 1982

Lebanon War.

Player flyable aircraft include Mirage IIICJ Shahak, Nesher, Kfir C2,

A-4 Ahit, F-4 Kurnass, F-15 Baz, and F-16 Netz.

Join the Israeli Defense Force / Air Force and fly historical missions

from the the 1967 Six-Day War, 1973 Yom Kippur War, and 1982 Lebanon

War. The campaign scenarios are set in three distinct time periods,

60s, 70s, and 80s, each with different set of aircraft to fly and

increasing sophistication of enemy MiGs and air-defenses.

You are wrong. According to Microsoft PC games sold more than Wii and PS3

last year. PC gaming is far from dead and never will be dead.

Have you guys looked at Ace Combat 6 for the xbox 360?

It has the kind of awesome graphics I've always dreamed about

for a flight simulator. Yeah I know some hard core purists are

probably going to say the mechanics of it aren't realistic enough,

but the graphics just totally blow away any flight sim for the PC.

I think that's pretty sad. I wonder if we'll ever get a flight sim

with

graphics that good for the PC. I just looked around for PC flight

simulators and the selection and quality seem to be really poor.

I do happen to have an xbox 360 so I guess I'll just get Ace

Combat 6.

Can you guys tell me what are the best flight sims for the PC?

I'd like something with very good graphics and not a humongous

amount of stuff to learn just to play.

I have Apache Longbow Assault and I think it's pretty good.

Hello, for some reason I can not locate the no cd patch for CFS 3. I

remember seeing it on simviation.com but it doesn't seem to be there

anymore??

If anyone can help it will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Remember hearing this opinion in a group or discussion somewhere--the

opiner saying casually like everyone knew that CFS3 had a basic flaw

that emerged over time and made it unplayable/a bad sim/coasterware.

I know some did not like the emphasis on the ground war--"Aces Over

Europe II" was the joke name--but it's not like the thing was

"Nations: Fighter Command", is it?

Anyway, MS is still selling it six years later, and the spec is now so

low you can run it on a Palm.

Hi. Played CFS 3 on a Pentium III 500 for years w/ no problem. Missing

to shoot down planes I bought the game again last week. This time I

installed it on a Centrino/XP SP2 Laptop on which I play all my other

simulators w/ no glitches.

I am getting random blue screen crashes in almost every other run of

the game. Sometimes I play it for hours and everything seems OK but

when it crashes, it CRASHES, resulting in a painfull restart for the

system. (It tells me about a serious problem that WINDOWS has

recovered from. Going through these crashes a few times a day started

to worry me. I am concerned for the system.

System:

TOSHIBA Satellite A 105

Intel Centrino (plain)

XP SP1

256 Mb Graphics card

1.5 GB RAM

The game has the patch from the MCFS 3 website installed.

Already dissappointed to find out that the ZONE MULTIPLAYER site was

not supporting the game anymore!

If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

If I get FS X how is it likely to run on my machine at the LCD

screen's res of 1280x1024? I want as much details as possible, but

wonder if you really need a dual core for that.

Win Xp Pro sp2,

FX-57 CPU
