The sequel to Microsoft’s first Combat Flight Simulator, the focus shifts to
the Pacific theater, where carrier battles and island hopping dominate the
strategy.

Fly for the Japanese Navy or the American Navy/Airforce in either single
battles or branching campaigns. Controllable aircraft include the standard
Zero, the P-38, Wildcat, Hellcat, Corsair, and George, each fighter
representing different design philosophies from the most nimble Japanese
planes to the powerhouse American designs. Escort bombers, strafe transports,
and provide CAP for your carrier group. Learn how to successfully land on a
carrier in strong winds.

Featuring much of the realism and potential complexity (it can be simplified
through options) of Microsoft’s civilian simulator, you can either play in an
arcade-like mode, or increase the difficulty…to the point where you’re
following a fairly realistic checklist for take-off.

Featuring unique 1940’s art for cutscenes, the engine’s graphics attempt to
represent the relatively sparse terrain of ocean, beach, and jungle with some
detail. Models take visual damage and damage can result in the removal of the
damaged part altogether. Standard padlock and various target views are
available, allowing both a realistic look and the ability to achieve more
exciting, cinematic views.
