Guest rtoolooze Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 Woohoo, I know, can't wait for this one.
The Corinthian Posted October 13, 2004 Report Posted October 13, 2004 well this game has gone gold according to the official site and it looks like it should be a great game, but SC, the link you have above isn't to the pacific fighters game website, that is some online store for WWII flight enthusiasts. The games site is here. pacific fighters
Case Posted October 13, 2004 Report Posted October 13, 2004 Big fan of IL2:Sturmovik and Forgotten Battles, really looking forward to this one as well.

Supreme Cmdr Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Posted November 30, 2004 GameSpy has a nice review up. I have yet to pick this one up.
LostInSpace Posted December 1, 2004 Report Posted December 1, 2004 Just picked Pacific fighters up today and oh boy am I going to have fun. Graphics are superb. I need to install Il2 forgoten battles but don't have the aces expansion pack. The game loads the content from them. In other words, you can have PF as stand alone or PF+forgotten battles+Aces these are the exact install options. All the planes and maps will be useable in PF. Kind of weird being able to see Japanese Zero's over europe . Anyway, it's going to be nice to play in the pacific again. The back of the manual has a silent hunter III advert will be avail feb 2005. Keeps getting better and better.
LostInSpace Posted December 4, 2004 Report Posted December 4, 2004 Anyone else playing this yet? I kinda feel soooooo guilty attacking Pearl harbor in a japanese zero.
TARWMSRK Posted December 4, 2004 Report Posted December 4, 2004 I picked up this game a while ago and personally, I think its a great game. However the learning curve is HUGE! It took me three days to figure out how to release the 'chocks' on the carrier which lets your plane move. Of course with my sorry gunnery skills it would probably be better if I was left of the carrier lol.
Case Posted December 4, 2004 Report Posted December 4, 2004 This one is on the top of my Christmas list. I have played both Forgotten Battles and Sturmovik, and I am looking forward to spending some quality time with this one. Interesting link on the piracy SC, I am wondering if a system like Half-life 2 is going to grow in popularity over the years. It is a shame that Oleg may not be able to produce anymore sims due to this problem.
Supreme Cmdr Posted December 5, 2004 Author Report Posted December 5, 2004 I got it yesterday, but have yet to install it.
LostInSpace Posted December 5, 2004 Report Posted December 5, 2004 Well to redeem myself for attacking Pearl Harbor, I changed history yesterday. I turned all options off to make the game totally unrealistic. I played (single missions) as an American lone fighter P-40B taking on the entire invading Japanese attack force. By the time I was done, I turned back the rest of them (about four invading fighters). By the time I realized that they were running away, it was too late to chase them down since I just didn't have the speed in my plane to do it. Not one bomb hit Pearl Harbor. I did a reconnaissance over Pearl to make sure and didn't see anything smoldering. It may have been unrealistic but it was really fun. I would have been smoked long before because I had this zero on my six and just couldn't shake him at the time. All I knew is that I was right in his fire because I saw all the bullet streams blazing past me while bits and pieces of my plane were chipping off. BTW: Don't forget to assign a key for "TOGGLE CHOCKS" as Carl Burning stated you'll be sitting around on the aircraft carrier wondering what's up you did everything and you're still not moving. I watched the in game training for taking off carriers and no mention of doing this. Don't know if it was an oversight. I watched the training three times to make sure I didn't miss it but nada it wasn't mentioned and it seems strange because it's one of the most important things to do for taking off or else you ain't going nowhere fast. Taking off wasn't too bad just keep it straight and you'll be fine. Landing on a carrier, now that's something different altogether . I would suggest assigning a key for the "TOGGLE ARRESTOR HOOK" for the landing it's as important as releasing the chocks for take off.
