The only good thing I can say about this program is that the graphics look good and it did put single missions in the right place with CFS2. Unfortunately, most of it does not work well. For example, when bombing a Japanese carrier I almost landed on the deck before release and yet no damage to either carrier or plane. The program comes with a floppy that is supposed to fix all these bugs. It does not! When I went back to CSF2, I discovered that CSF2 was corrupted to the extent that that I had to remove CSF2 and reinstall it again before CSF2 was working again. I think that I will jsut wait until CSF3 and CSF4 come out. I do not plan to ever use the Midway program again.

Instalation was very quick and easy, 2 to 3 button clicks and it was installed to my CFS2 with no problem, I can also install it to CFS1 if I decide to.
After instalation I put my CFS2 disk in and started flying,
Free flight, is good because you can even fly a B-17 off any of the islands, Just make sure your flaps are down and your at max. throtle or you will not get off the run way. All the other sim. aircraft fly very well
The single missions are very good!
You are going to have to enjoy the single mis. only because it won't intergrate with the main missions.
although the single mis. keeps you busy for hrs.
The graphics are good!
All in all I am very pleased.
Crashes a lot!!

It is fair, as far as combat flight simulators go. However, it has problems. First, it crashes a lot! (And I mean a lot!!) Second, if you even get anywhere near an enemy plane/ship, it results in a collision with that object. You are dead! This can be very frustrating, since YOU know that you had PLENTY of room between you and the enemy plane.
But if you survive the frustration, then it's is fair add-on to Combat Flight Simulator.
Note: It runs on a WinNT machine.
Not a fully debugged product

Installed quicky over a clean install of CFS2. Several missions had major bugs including planes that would not start and missing library files. Other missions were impossible to end even when the mission goals were met (warp disabled) unless you flew manually back to base. Additional problems when you tried to change payload from the default. A frustrating experience, especially when I found no patches at Abacus' website.

I like what I've heard and seen, and I haven't seen anything.
