The Pacific Theatre, 1943. Zeros. Hellcats. Corsairs. Choose your allegiance and aircraft for the most intense conflict of WW II.

WW II in the Pacific challenged men and machines as never before. Combat Flight Simulator 2 takes you back to this historic time and place with exquisitely detailed aircraft, cockpits, and scenery. The flight dynamics of each accurately engineered aircraft capture the true experience of flying magnificent machines, from nimble Zeros to lethal workhorses like the Corsair and Hellcat. Details like moving canopies, folding wings, battle-scarred paint, spectacular damage, and last-second bailouts immerse you in a new level of realism.

Beautifully rendered battle sites such as Papua New Guinea, the Marianas, the Gilberts, and Midway capture historical scenes in vivid details, from jungle hillsides to coral reefs.

Fly challenging single missions and full-fledged campaigns where your skill determines your fate-and that of your wingmen.

The real story, straight from the source

Combat Flight Simulator 2 builds on a tradition of more than 18 years of creating compelling flight simulations. Veteran World War II pilots from both sides of the Pacific conflict helped make every detail -from the roar of engines to radio chatter- come to life. Read their stores in the Pilot's Handbook, and then test their battle-proven tactics for yourself.

1940s art, with a twist

From opening screen and mission briefings to after-action reports and award ceremonies, Combat Flight Simulator 2 features a bold new look that takes you back to the 1940s and the fiery Pacific theatre.

History takes wing

These aircraft -the pride and joy of the Japanese and American fleets- made history. Now make them yours. Microsoft's graphic technology brilliantly captures classic WW II naval fighters. Choose from the American P38F Lightning, F4F-4 Wildcat, F6F-3 Hellcat, and F4U-1A Corsair or the Japanese A6M2 Zero, A6M5 Zero, N1K2-J George. Bid today goodbye as you fly off into history.

Fight the Pacific War for either flag

You're a 20-year-old farm boy from Nebraska, engaging the Japanese with a 2000 hp fighter bristling with firepower. Or a veteran Japanese pilot at the controls of a deadly and agile Zero, determined to protect your fleet.
