Beautifully rendered battle sites such as Papua New Guinea, The Marianas, the
Gilberts, and Midway capture historical scenes in vivid detail, from jungle
hillsides to coral reefs. Fly challenging single missions and full-fledged
campaigns where your skill determines your fate - and that of your wingmen. Use
the powerful new graphical Mission Builder to re-create other famous conflicts
and "what-if " campaigns where the challenges change each time you take off into
battle.
History takes wing. These aircraft-the pride of the Japanese and American
fleets-made history. Now make them yours. Microsoft's leading graphics
technology brilliantly captures classic WWII naval fighters. Choose from the
American P-38F Lightning, F4F-4 Wildcat, F6F-3 Hellcat, and F4U-1A Corsair or
the Japanese A6M2 Zero, A6M5 Zero, NiK2 George. Bid today goodbye as you fly off
into history. More choices to fly and new challenges to master. All the new
planes look and sound even more realistic than Combat Flight Simulator 1.
The real story, straight from the source. Combat Flight Simulator 2 builds on
a tradition of more than 18 years of creating compelling flight simulations.
Veteran World War II pilots from both sides of the Pacific conflict helped make
every detail-from the roar of engines to radio chatter--come to life. Read their
stories in the Pilot's Manual, and then test their battle-proven tactics for
yourself. Realistic and stunning visuals.
Enhanced Depth of Play with improved active campaign structure and multiple
branching missions. Combat Flight Simulator 2 engages you at heightened new
level of gameplay. Your actions in the game now have real consequences - lose a
wingman in battle and his replacement may not be the ace that you hoped for.
Campaigns are a branching tree structure. You have to try and survive, not lose
too many wingmen, complete your mission goals and earn medals and promotions,
and fly increasingly higher-performance aircraft. Failing to perform will result
in your early retirement. You will be able to enter the campaign at any of 10
different historical points. Real-life action and gameplay that immerse you into
the era.
Fight the Pacific war for either flag. You're a 20-year-old farm boy from
Nebraska, engaging the Japanese with a 2000 hp fighter bristling with firepower.
Or a veteran Japanese pilot at the controls of a deadly and agile Zero,
determined to protect your fleet. Experience the war from both sides of the
battle.
Enhanced Visuals. Combat Flight Simulator 2 features enhanced 3-D objects and
aircraft models, cockpits, explosions, splashes, waves and wakes, and many other
effects. High-resolution terrain with detailed roads, rivers, coastlines, and
atolls will bring this area of the world to life. Take off and land from the
aircraft carriers Essex, Enterprise, Junyo, and Hiryu. A Landing Signal Officer
will get you back on deck. Incredible realism and immersion.
Realistic weather effects. Fly through clouds, rain, haze, and thunderstorms
on your way to battle. Combat Flight Simulator 2 uses the advanced weather
system developed for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000.
