Payment details. Payment methods. The weapons primarily used are cannon, rockets and regular bombs. Which weapons you can mount depends on the plane. These missions are generally quite challenging, because managing to make your bombs land on target can be very difficult, but also because ground vehicles and AA-guns are usually assigned to protect your targets.
Cannons and rockets can effectively be used to take these out, though. There are also a few missions outside of actual history, which are added more for fun than for historical accuracy.
One mission for instance, has you strafing a generals car which is parked with him inside it under the Eifel tower in Paris - and yes, you can fly under the tower. The two campaigns you can choose from are Battle of Britain and Battle over Europe. All campaigns, and the missions in them, have historical ties and you will be going on missions actually flown during the war.
This is quite nice, since it enhances the feel of actually flying in a war, but it does so to the point of frustration and monotony. It quickly got boring. The campaigns are tied together by a set of pre-designed missions. Win or lose, you can always move on to the next ones as if nothing has happened. This is good in the sense that if you get stuck on a mission, you can always move on, but it's bad because you really feel that you have no influence whatsoever in how the war progresses.
The missions will look the same every time, regardless of how well you have flown the previous ones. The only difference will be your medals and score. Also, there is no feature to refly missions you have flown before.
The game saves automatically where you left off, and you will be stuck there. You can have several pilots running simultaneously, but they are still just stats and no personality. The interface in the game is slick and well designed. It allows you to easily access plane data, pilots, and missions to fly. The cockpits all look like the real thing, and you can flip the switches using either the mouse or keyboard commands. There is also a help library which you can use and instantly access from the game, but that part is not well done at all.
It's really quite annoying when you are looking through your aeroplanes, trying to get into the spirit of things, only to have you booted out into Windows as soon as you want help on something. The feeling that you are actually part of an ongoing campaign is never really present, and it's a bit sad that Microsoft couldn't take the time to actually implement the database into the game.
This is easy coding, and it's a shame that it has been overlooked. The best part about the interface is, however, customisability. Everything in the game engine can be customised. If you want to fly as realistically as possible, set the flight mode to realistic, switch of all target-locking functions an such, and take to the sky.
If, on the other hand, you want to do some solid blasting, switch on the magic radar and the magic arrow pointing you towards the enemy. Enable the aircraft identification text, make yourself invulnerable and give your plane an unlimited supply of ammunition. The whole thing is extremely well implemented and ensures that this game will be enjoyed by a wide crowd of simmers. You also have the possibility to import other planes into combat and create your own missions. You can fly against Boeing s above New York, or fly your Sopwith Camel in an attack on a bomber formation.
I don't own another Microsoft simulator so I really couldn't try out this feature but it does add longevity for those of you who love to tinker with your planes and missions. You can take any aircraft created with Flight Shop, put guns on it and go to battle. The programs to do this are, however, not supported by Microsoft , which is a bit odd.
The manual is also worth special mention. It is some pages long, and it's very good. Not only does it cover all the aircraft you will be flying and how to operate them, it also covers the history of the war very well, informing you what happened and how the aircraft came to change the course of the war.
It was all a very interesting read, and Microsoft deserves credit for it. It is also quite amusing in that it include humorous sketches made by a WWII fighter pilot with a knack for drawing. So is this game worth the money? As it is quite expensive, that question is still tough to answer. If you want a pure WWII aircraft combat simulator, this is an excellent choice. The flight model is superior, dogfighting is very well done, and every aircraft is unique.
The game has nearly no atmosphere, however. You never truly feel that you are actually part of a war. This is probably due to the fact that Microsoft wanted this simulator not only to have an accurate flight model, but also to guide you through the events of the war. Customisability and multiplayer support through Microsoft's gaming zone helps add to longevity.
The game is also remarkably stable, apart from the first problems with the CD. It has never crashed while I was flying, and no major bugs have been spotted. In short, if you are looking for a good combat flight simulator, then this is an excellent choice. Just don't expect any engrossing campaign play. Screenshots from MobyGames. Do I have to pay a hundred bucks just to dual boot my new computer to win xp just to run this sim?
