We've already had Microsoft's and MicroProse's entrants into the World War II combat flight sim arena see Also Consider panel left , and it's fair to say that both games are aimed squarely at the serious sim market. Both have a lot to recommend them in their own right, though to be fair the campaign mode in European Air War , along with tidier graphics, gives it the edge over Combat Flight Simulator.

Formerly known as Jane's Fighter Legends, it's been developed by the same people who gave us Top Gun: Fire At Will, a modern-day combat jet sim which successfully blended gameplay that cocked it's hat to the less serious flight sim fan, with lush graphics and attention to detail. In many ways, WWII Fighters follows the same premise, though this time around you get to fly seven different accurately modelled aircraft and take part in a branching campaign flying for either the Allies or Nazis.

The emphasis, however, is firmly on dogfighting, and your skill in the cockpit - as opposed to developing a linear plot line and everything - is geared towards making this as realistic and enjoyable an experience as possible.

The graphics are quite simply state-of-the-art, and take full advantage of the latest 3D Glide technology. As you'd expect, the aircraft are modelled in exact detail, as are the 3D cockpits of the seven aircraft that you can fly. All the usual camera modes are available, and although it's not recommended that you select an external camera in the heat of battle, it's worth checking it out during quieter moments to marvel at the level of detail: when a plane is hit you can actually see bits break and fly off, followed by debris and plumes of smoke; spent cartridges drop back to earth as the aircraft swoop and dive in flight; transparent clouds and cool lighting effects really help create an atmosphere - something that's so clearly lacking in Microsoft's Combat Flight Sim.

The radio chatter, sound effects and music also go a long way to heightening the overall atmosphere. Free YouTube Downloader. IObit Uninstaller. Internet Download Manager. Advanced SystemCare Free.

VirtualDJ Awesome game, started and I was all excited then it exit out and not I cant play it all all.

Given their knowledge of naval platforms displayed in I, one would expect this game to be flowing with high-end detail and realism and, for the most part, you would be correct. If you're expecting the complexity or depth of Harpoon, however, you'll be in for a rude awakening.

JFC is a lighter, easier to use wargame then Harpoon but it also has some features Harpoon doesn't have, like 3D accelerated graphics and quicker gameplay. JFC has a lot of playability right out of the box. It not only comes with four tutorial missions but with a plethora of single missions and a campaign module as well, plus many multi-player options. The game also includes a mission builder, so almost any conflict anywhere in the world is possible.

How do all these options translate to gameplay? I'm glad you asked. The main gameplay screen is divided into four windows. There's a map window and a 3D-view window, both of which may be switched to take up a larger portion of the screen.

The other two windows contain information that will be necessary to the player. This includes the target's information, orders and messages. It's through use of this map window and right-click menus that the units in the game are controlled.

The game also has intelligent cursors to help facilitate common commands, such as identify or attack a contact. The ease of use in these commands may explain the terrible manual that was shipped with the game. If you've ever purchased a Jane's game, usually you'll find a very heavy box with a very thick manual. This game, however, includes a paltry 50 plus page manual that I personally found inexcusable. The gameplay itself is a great deal of fun. The game has a huge library of forces to command and fight against, from the smallest fighter plane to the largest carrier.

The game models navies from many different countries and uses those forces to great effect. The missions you'll come in contact with vary greatly and really make you use your head. I Have tryed this at other games that normaly dont run in XP and they all work TRY Fat32 to older games.. It may solve the problem, it did for me. I will try it in Vista too.. The menu cames on, and the "flying" is also loading, but at the end, it crashes.

I run the game in "win95 mode", and I also installed it in win95 mode. Its version is 1. I have finally gotten Jane's installed, and running reasonablely well. Mother board has built in sound. Realtek AC Updated it to the lastest drivers and Video card drivers. Nvidia GS mb drivers updated.
