Hello Hertzie,
I had high hopes for Combat Flight Simulator when it first came out. It was my first real flight simulator to the point where I went out and bought a brand new Microsoft Sidewinder joystick along with the game. When I first tried to run it, nothing displayed correctly. I put it back on the shelft for a few months. That was when my neighbor, a retired Air Force Colonel, invited me to check out his (Combat) Flight Simulator installation. I was surprised. Things worked fine over there. Frame rates were annoyingly low, but everything displayed.
I soon figured out he had a 3D graphics card and I did not. That was the next purchase.
Even then, I never flew with a panel displayed because it would drop the frame rates too much. I was a lot more concerned with pretty visual models.

I first tried CFS1 on a p166, if you all remember those. flew in pastel scenery, but was hooked right away!
