Book Reviews of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator: Inside Moves (World War Two series)

Book Review: first and best
Summary: 5 Stars

This, the first of Microsoft's combat flight simulators is the best as far as the basic concept is concerned, and the later two versions would have done better to hew closer to the original concept, and used the technological advances to make improvements within the original framework. In Combat Flight Simulator 2, for instance, much of the scenery is actually inferior, though the ground level scenery around the airfields is somewhat better. Combat Flight Simulator 3 is an actual flop and came out to terrible reviews. Jane's World War 2 fighters is another early combat flight simulator that was very good. If you want to start cheap, this game and Jane's is the way to go. If you want the latest and the best--get UBIsoft's IL2 Sturmovic series of games.

Like other titles in the Inside Moves series, this book shows how to play the game over the Zone and gives tips on selecting the appropriate hardware for effective game play.
