This game was such a large part of my childhood, and it's probably the greatest single contributor to me becoming a history buff and caring about technical things & realism. When most of my peers were playing Game Cube or something, my grandpa - a pilot - sat me down with this bad boy and showed 5-year-old me how to dogfight. Good memories!
Is this the old version from way back when, around 1999?? I had this and it was a lot of fun. Easter egg alert, fly around Stonehenge in England and look for a strange object floating in the sky if you haven't found it already!
Cool, I will look for the stonehendge. I might record it too. Yes 1998 30 September was the initial version. I still find this version the most enjoyable combat sim ever.
Search for "abandonware cfs" and download it from myabanonware. At the bottom of the page you will see a Download button for the iso and also a Fix button for the joystick and NoCD fix. First download the iso, mount the iso from File Explorer (right click the iso file), then find the setup.exe and install it. After that unzip the download from the Fix button and copy the COMBATFS.EXE to the game path at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator". Double click COMBATFS.EXE or the shortcut to start the game. I will post these instructions in the description. If your game as the CD then you must have the CD plugged in or it will not work. If you do not have a CD drive you would need to burn your CD to an iso file and then mount the iso file from your hard disk. Its easier to follow my previous instructions.
Microsoft needs to revive this franchise!
@@thejetfighter Definitely!

Jeez, friendly fire!? C'mon
LOL! I am sure we would all do that accidently. If a friendly zips into the line of fire its an accident...
