I have had this Game 'CFS2' a long time.....

CFS1 seemed a bit young.....it needed to be improved.

CFS3 just seemed to be going in a different direction...which I wasn't sure I wanted to take.

CFS2.....I fell in LOVE WITH....

2000 MS Corp on the CD case....coming up to 9 Years. WOW what a Run.

9 Years..thats just unhearded of in SIMs....Long Time.

Pacific.
AVG, Dutch East Indies, Burma, China, Austriala, ect

Europe;
BOB, BoF, Malta, North Afirica, Balkins, Levert, Russia,Poland, Norway, Finland,and Madagascar...ect.

Places I have never heard of ...and place I have many Books on.

Planes also....."......"......".....".

always growing.

I find this place..CFS2 General Discussion...a Home.

Meet people who are from around the world.

Many more talented than I could ever dream of.....

I am like the ' Coffee Boy ' in a large Company....I can't add much but everyone treats me like an Equal.....I love that.

I can't make a plane....mission...ship...tank....airport...anything..but I can add information. Nothing else.

I share the LOVE of the GAME.

I think everyone as a Brother.

If this ends.....well it was GREAT...If it dosen't...even better.


may GOD Bless....everyone.

I don't know what the other forums are like, CFS2 is my sole Flight and Fight Sim. This place is the Motherlode and the folks here are the treasure. Cheers to All!
 
It was a about three years ago now, but I had been bugging this guy about trying CFS2. He'd tried IL-2 and just didn't get anywhere with it and I told him that this sim was different. I even loaned him my spare CD's (did everything but fly it for him).

Well .. that sold him. Every so often we'd talk and I'd ask him if he'd seen this or that on the forum... and he'd say no. I finally asked if he ever even look in at the forum to which he replied he didn't. I asked why and his answer was that he'd been to other "club" forums and they were generally full of jerks, lots of ego and a big waste of time.

I told him ... not like that here at this one ... no sirree ... not at all. Great guys ... great info ... super helpful even to a stonehead like me. Well, he tried that too and he's now a regular here.

This place IS SPECIAL. Sometimes you are just too close to see the forest for the trees!

yes, it´s the best forum anyway, but last month, I just found another forum with a lot of great people, but it´s not Flightsim related. I stay with CFS2 since it was released in Germany. - Once I started to build the new 1:32 scale (plastic model)Zero fighter from Tamiya, if I saw a picture of CFS2, I thought, it would be great to fly the aircraft on my PC. -the Tamiya zero did never get finished.

I've had the game when it was $19.99 at Best Buy way back in 2001 or 2002. I played it, liked it, but I was trying to find something better...

Until I talked to a squadron buddy... pointed me to simviation.com... I DL'ed a lot of stuff... and I kinda thought I liked this idea of expansion...

That brought me here. I'll never get another sim for sure... and I couldn't ask for better wingmen to enjoy this hobby with me!

Cheers! A toast to MY brothers who I have never even seen in person! :ernae:

I tried another one of the Sims for awhile. Got it outa my system. If you ever need help with a problem, cfs2 is the way to go. :applause:
 
bretnutz,
I am almost finished with the Tuskegee Airmen final campaign series and Rami will mod them and tweak them and have them ready to post, probably by my birthday. :wiggle:

What Canadian FG would you like to have campaign missions built for?
I will build whatever set of campaigns you would like to honor the sacrifices of the Canadian Armed Forces, our northern cousins. :ernae:

I can honestly say, without any reservations, that in my visits to your wonderful country, I was always treated with respect and welcomed. When I was heading out to Vietnam, the summer before, I went to Canada with my dad. We had a traffic accident in Yukon Territory and Dad spent a week in the hospital in Whitehorse. A Canadian family opened their house to us, fed us, loaned us a vehicle and did our laundry while we awaited Dad's release from the hospital. They were OFFENDED when we offered to pay our own way.

When I was at GFAFB, ND we visited Manitoba at least 10-12 times a year. Manitoba truly is FRIENDLY Manitoba!

My family loves your countrymen. I would have no hesitation doing anything for a Canadian.
 
Hi all,
Bought CFS2 as soon as it was released.Had for the time a really powerful system to run it on.A 600mhz Coppermine P3,32mb TNT Ultra graphicscard,512mb memory.AWE 64 soundcard and 80gb hard drive.Still had some speed problems with that rig.BUT not now it flies like an arrow on any modern rig.Maybe that is why it has remained so wonderful.Because of the power of newer machines it has been able to evolve into the sim it should have been from the start.
I still have the origional boxed copy complete.Plus one back up copy in the newer dvd case.

I have the original of all three CFS. I have no backups though.
I wish I knew how to make a backup on DVD.

Got CFS2 for Christmas in 2000.

First plane I flew when I fired it up was the Corsair out of Henderson.

Amazing what this sim looks like 8 years later.

I have to agree......

Hi Guys.

I'm with you all the way. I tried CFS3, but I didn't get on with it. You seemed to need a degree in computer science to repaint the aircraft and it didn't seem to be as "user friendly" as CFS2, plus the amount of aircraft, scenery, missions and campaigns etc available for CFS2 is stunning.

LONG LIVE CFS2!!!!

Cheers.

Bretnutz,
I was at the Pentagon for 9 years and lived on Fort Belvoir for 4 of those years! Small world!

I never liked CFS 3 because after playing 1 and 2 for so many years they went and changed everything.I was so used to the keybourd and everything else....I gave up,as I have on all of the others but CFS 1 and 2.I like to fly furballs in CFS 1 and love CFS 2,which is where I spend all of my time flying.

Man I was bent when the zone disapeared,I can't keep up with the amount of add ons,fun stuff.:friday:
