Cfs3
The recent re-release of Microsofts Combat Flight Simulator 3 by Ubisoft under their Exclusive brand could indicate two things. One Microsoft wants to revitalise the branding of their sim for a potential release of Combat Flight Simulator 4. Or final conclusive proof that they have abandoned the franchise.
I am betting on the second option which leaves SOW with only a potential threat from BoB2 Wings of Victory publishers using the Merlin engine. Lets face it, they are on patch 2.07 and Bob 2 is still not a credible fight sim. And this is not intended to be an insult to those hard workers who have made it barely passible. GREAT GRAPHICS and then you look at your wing man and he is bouncing arround the sky like he has ADT... Simpily put you lose total immersion and realise you are flying a sim. So I doubt whether Oleg's silence has anything to do with potential opposition, but is in fact a marketing instruction from 1c and ubisoft. Why, who knows? But I will wait and see. Hopefully we are all pleasantly surprised,

This used to be one of my pet peeves in BOB WOV but the issue has been fixed.

IMHO immersion-wise BOB2:WoV > IL2 by far: Dynamic campaign. Clickable Cockpits. 6DoF. Fights with hundred and more planes. AI lightyears ahead of IL2's one. Need I say more? Ok, you can flame me now.

I'm a huge fan of BOB WOV and the AI is good but no better than IL-2's. The AI not being able to see thru clouds is a myth and I could carry on with a great many issues in both sims. Hopefully the next generation Merlin and SOW engines will improve on both.

What reason would I have, but here is a site selling the game in South Africa, if you look closely you will find the Ubisoft logo on the box. Not as clear as the German one but please, if you need more proof... Google.com is a great tool. http://www.kalahari.net/gaming/pc_ga...1&toolbar=none Last edited by Bobb4; 03-13-2008 at 06:31 AM.

But compared to IL2 it is just not quite there and this is because it is not a flight simulator but a massive strategic simulation of the Battle of Britain that allows you to fly into the very heart of the action. It is great, I fly it alot but no, it is no Il2, if you have ever dropped down low over the countryside you will know what I mean. And so using the Merlin Engine will not make a better sim than SOW. It might make a better sim than BoB2 WOV. And yes I will buy it when it comes out as well. But then I like anything that says Joystick required
