Talk:Combat flight simulation game

Namco's Ace Combat series is mentioned here. They are arcade action games, not flight simulators in any serious capacity. They do not belong on this page. Compare Ace Combat 5 to Falcon 4.0. Not in the same league.

I am new to Wikipedia, and I plan to add a number of links to other articles, and possible a graphic or two to this article. Of course suggestions (or edits!) are welcome.FlyingSinger

I have uploaded and tried to dispplay two JPG's here but they are not displaying as graphics. Maybe this is related to the power failure though they show up in the image search page. FlyingSinger 19:32, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

No, it's because someone's Bot is being a dick about what images you can use. 66.229.160.94 10:24, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

This article seems to be lacking on citing sources, and could use quite a bit of tone correction. I added appropriate tags. -Edlin2 05:36, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

The "history" section is incoherent and as such, also very inaccurate. Using the three CFS series games (which all center on WW2, except the dogfight mode in FS4 and earlier) Microsoft has published as the centrepiece of combat flight simulator history is simply ridiculous, whereas other software houses may have published many more combat flight simulators which have in many case been forerunners to what Microsoft has been doing. Unless, of course, one wants to detail the history of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator (tm) which already has its separate page. The history part also completely overlooks MicroProse's early years (from 80's to mid-90's), and it could be argued that during this time it was MicroProse, not Microsoft that held the dominant position in combat flight simulator market. LucasArts' early sims escape mention, Rowan Software, Spectrum Holobyte, EA/Jane's and Sierra/Dynamix are mentioned only passing in the later paragraphs... wish I had the time and patience to edit the article myself. 213.246.227.18 14:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
