- 401RCAF_SlyCan you still purchase any of the CFS series ?
- 401RCAF_Slythey run on Win7 or 8?
- 401RCAF_SlyI discount CFS1
- 401RCAF_Slyas CFS2 is a similar platform but increased capability, so that leaves a choice between CFS2 and CFS3.
- Shadow_Homfixrhmmm imagine that... me agreeing with Shades...lol.
- Shadow_HomfixrI have to agree with Shades on CFS 1 being the most simple and fun. Maybe I am simple but a game to me is only fun if it is simple to play and because CFS1 was simple everyone had fun. CFS 1 would definitely be my choice and like Shades, I propably still have the disc somewhere. CFS 2 was a little more complicated and CFS3 was just too much to keep up with to have fun...imo. Then IL came out(more complicated than CFS3) and I was completely lost so off to another simple game for me which was Ghost Recon. Then that got complicated so off to Joint Opps which I still play simply because it is simple and FUN. S!~
I think programmers today try too hard to make the games so realistic that they take the fun out of the game and only the real geeks (no names mentioned here ) can have fun.

We all get old and wise sooner or later Homey.

Zackly!
When we all asked Tucker and Oleg for more realism we meant graphically, scenically, and fix the 'cheat' code.
Me and Homey wuz gamers, not real pilots.
There are lots of folks who wanted more realistic control surfaces and environments and they got CFS3 and IL2 to go to.
The reasons the genre lost players is simple.
Less fun for gamers.
No Saturday night Ridge-Runner meets.
And no monkey-bashin'.
.....can I take that last one back?
I get bashed whether I'm a monkey, ape, or skwirrell (and I don't want Homey gettin' too excited thinkin' about bashin' his monkey)!
One more thing about CFS1.
It was SO much fun that, at least for me, it never mattered who won or lost (non-squad games anyway).
I had the honour and pleasure of 'flying' with some truly remarkable people.
Not just great exponents of the game, but great people.
The in-game chat humour was part of CFS1.
I enjoyed being beaten by them as much as I enjoyed beating them or flying as their wingman.
I'm still in touch with a few, but too many of them are not with us at all anymore.
- A1Trigger_HappyI sure do miss CFS, CFS2, and Ghost Recon. Todays games just dont interest me anymore. That and not havin any time to play. What really made CFS was The Zone. Most of the time I wasn't flyin I was BSin with everyone in the Ridge. Sure do miss the old days.
- A1Trigger_HappyIt was the zone that made cfs1
How is it possible that something that popular can crash and burn into oblivion ?
- JG300-StoopyWell, while we're commiserating about the state of things I might as well put in a coupla cents....

I love a good Boss Hawg rant! Except they used to be a lot more fun-spirted and laugh-inducing, which tells me that he's REALLY pissed off!
