After all, Flight Simulator has always been credited for its flight models and attention to detail. It sounds like a perfect match: Pair Microsoft's popular Flight Simulator engine with the thrill of fighting in the skies over Europe in the '40s. In the next few months a small squadron of titles will be taking off, with Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator the first one off the tarmac. Thankfully, gamers will once again be able to fly in the glory days of air combat, the Second World War. What is it? Another onslaught of F22 sims? No. The drone of aircraft can be heard on the horizon, approaching in droves to your local retailer.
Sirens wail and ack-ack guns begin to pepper the sky with shrapnel blossoms.
