Aircombat above 10.000 meters was not normal on the russian front, so why should physics work over there?

The flight model is a lot better than that of the FS2002 stock planes, and HEAPS better than any CFS2 stock airplane. It is based on real time calculations, not tables, and was created by aeronoutic engineers, not just programmers.

Ballistics and gunnery are unmatched in quality.

The Mig and Albatros are excellent planes and a joy to fly...but stock CFS3 might not have that high quality.
Absolutely agree with you.

Mig and L-39 are very good. But they are the add-ons not default planes.

Look at default planes in MSFS2002 of CFS2 - all of them are far far away from real flight model. All the best planes in these two sims are aftermarket products and cannot be compared with default ones.

But look at IL-2 planes. Most of them are as real as it can be in flight sims. Yes, there are bugs and develovers and Oleg are opened to correct them. Did you see it with MS$? I don't think so.

They said CFS3 is based on improved MSFS2002 engine. But MSFS2002 engine is based on CFS2 engine.. So, I believe they won't go far away of it.

Look at these two screenshots.

Do you see the difference?? MS$ is out of progress =),
but unfortunately on top of market..=(
I would better support LOMAC and IL2 rather than MS$ and their regular shit.. and new Bill Gate's car..=)))
