Product Information • As with past editions over the years, Microsoft follows the latest version of its genre-dominating Flight Simulator with the release of a more action-oriented combat flight sim. Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 allows virtual pilots to fly for the Royal Air Force, the U.S. Army Air Force, the Imperial Japanese Navy, or Germany's Luftwaffe, in demanding missions above the battlefields of a war-weary 1943 Europe. No matter the force for which they fly, pilots will face enemy planes in the sky and anti-aircraft fire from below. The game's mission structure is designed on the tactical campaigns that vied for superiority in the sky through later stages of World War II.

The game features a flexible storyline that develops according to players' progress. Great success -- or unexpected failure -- can change the course of events, leading to an alternate history determined by the player's decisions and actions. Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 offers 18 flyable craft, including bombers and early jet fighter models. A customizable graphics engine is designed to produce smooth graphics in great detail. Multiplayer games are supported over the Internet or a local network, allowing both head-to-head dogfights and cooperative missions.

What is a flight simulator or flight sim? While you could say it's a video game, it is also so much more than just that. With so many options these days, it can be. Product Information: Engage in a fierce air battle with your enemies in the MS Combat Flight Simulator 3, a Windows video game. In this combat flight simulator game.

The Last MS combat flight game. Neither horrible nor great, but has force feedback and many planes to fly. This game will still fly on Win 7, and using an old MS sidewinder 2, you can still play it with force feedback. Although i'v seen worse games, Most of this game seems like an afterthought, The aircraft are diverse, you can fly a JU88 and an ME262 as well, the controls can be set how you want easily, and you have choice of fighter or bomber missions.

MS combat flight 1 was the best 2 was not bad (my favorite part is landing on the carrier) and this one is a logical progression from those. The graphics are a bit crude compared to today but that's to be expected. Anyhow if you like flyiing games this would not be a bad choice, I just wouldn't pay over $30 tops. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned •. I expected this to be like the original microsoft flight combat simulater. NOT even close! Sorry i wasted my money.

I was expecting it to be like original WWII microsoft combat flight simulator! NOT even close. Limited planes, no hurricane even.

Directed missions, hard to change planes on missions. All around just 10% of original.

But if you didn't have the wonderful experience of that original simulater, it might work for you. You will never know what you missed.

BRING IT BACK MICROSOFT!! BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL THAT WILL WORK IN NEW COMPUTERS! PLEASE, I'M BEGGIN' YOU! Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned •.

Whirlpool Vantage Software Update. [ EDIT: Move from other thread ] Ooops, eh! You should have stuck to your other post.

This thread began as a Win7 issue, so I went on auto-pilot;) forgetting your thread was for Win10. - DRM Blocking is built into WIn10. It cannot be uninstalled, and the commands to disable it don't work in Win10. A noCD fix is the only way around this evil malware with Win10. Acronis True Image Home 2010 Deutsch Full Version. I don't have cfs3, but the noCD for cfs2 works on Win10, and I believe the fix for cfs3 has worked for others.

I did download and verify that cfs3 did have a basic noCD fix, and razers fixes generally work well (some fixes have other files that need replacing). - I previously thought the two games were the same except for having different maps, but I've just discovered that cfs3 uses a different game engine (not as mod friendly as the cfs2 engine apparently) - The cfsres.dll and common.dll would be a game specific files, but these are not in cfs2. - As these are game specific files reinstalling the game will hopefully fix the problem. - The MSVCP70.dll is a Visual C++ file. Hopefully the install disk for CFS3 has a vcredist.exe that installs the version of C++ that includes this file ( CFS2 has no C++ installer ).

The game should install C++ automatically, but if there is an installer on the disk you can run the installer manually. I expect MSVCP70.dll would be installed in the games folder in this instance, but it may get installed in System32 where other C++ files live? - These errors may indicate that the noCD does actually work, but the games install is corrupt, or you need to do some tweaking for CFS3 that is not required for CFS2? - Also install the patch This site may prove useful (where I just found out about the different game engines) - Another useful site that has the 3.1a patch, but you have to be a member to download.
