4.0 out of 5 stars Two out of three ain't bad..., August 23, 2007

This review is from: Ultimate Flight Collection (CD-ROM)

Both "IL2 Sturmovik" and "Pacific Fighters" work fine on my laptop (Gateway, Core 2 with 2GB memory), but "Lock On" refuses to display the screen correctly while attempting to play the game [intro, setup, and other screens work fine]! I haven't pursued support, yet, so I don't know the ultimate outcome of the problem.

Yes, both IL2 and PF have a strong learning curve. But, as you become more proficient, the games become more enjoyable. I wouldn't expect to climb into a real fighter aircraft and become an ace on day one, why would anyone expect a realistic simulator to be any different???

Graphics, controls and aircraft behavior are awesome. I've quickly learned how to: stall (and I'm learning how to correctly recover), crash during takeoff, blackout in hard turns, get shot to shreds, fail to bailout before impact, and otherwise tear my aircraft apart like an expert. I now have one kill to my credit, and I expect to be an ace in just a couple more months!

It might be easier if I had the actual aircraft, but I can't afford the maintenance!

GREAT games!!!

Lock On and IL2 are the best of modern and piston fighter simulators respectively. This collection provides great value with a low price.
