Microsoft Game Studios today announced that combat pilots can receive preflight instructions at Microsoft’s official "Combat Flight Simulator 3" site, http://www.microsoft.com/games/combatfs3. Those who visit the newly launched site will find a list of game-specific features, numerous screenshots, downloadable movies, desktop wallpaper, pilot bios, news links and a gallery of plane nose art used in "Combat Flight Simulator 3."

The official site currently features the game's complete and highly intense four-minute intro video. In addition, the plane section showcases rotating screenshots of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt. Would-be airmen can also read up on the careers of each of the nine pilots starring in "Combat Flight Simulator 3."

Built with the "Flight Simulator 2002" physics engine, "Combat Flight Simulator 3" furthers Microsoft's reputation for building the best-selling PC-based flight simulators franchise.* Developed by Microsoft, "Combat Flight Simulator 3" puts players in a dynamic 3-D world and features a new advanced graphics engine designed to showcase realistic low-level terrain, ground objects and superbly detailed aircraft during high-speed, down-and-dirty combat missions. "Combat Flight Simulator 3" also updates the franchise with more than 18 realistically rendered World War II aircraft with stunning 3-D cockpits. Combat missions are created dynamically with tactical objectives changing each time the enemy is engaged. Cooperative multiplayer missions and free-for-all dogfights via the Internet and LAN also bring a heightened sense of excitement and challenge to "Combat Flight Simulator 3."
