- Experience realistically modeled aircraft - 8 modeled aircraft, each with its own realistic flight models and accurately detailed cockpits. You will experience the real flight performance of each aircraft, and of course damage will affect specific aircraft systems on each plane.
- Fly over Real World Scenery - Experience real world navigation through a world based on history and atlas data. Fly over London, Paris and Berlin and see the landscape in full detail. See 3D objects as they were, or follow coastal lines to reach your objective. Fly real-world navigation, real-time navigation, and also in different types of weather.
- Expandability (ability to add aircraft, missions, combat areas). Users will be able to import the thousands of planes and scenery already created for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Planes imported will feature damage and weapons systems. Imagine bringing in your Learjet from Flight Simulator into WWII Europe or having a dogfight over 1990s New York City.
- Flexible Environment - Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator allows you to define your experience. You can fly historical missions and campaigns, engage in exciting & challenging dogfighting, enjoy "Free Flight", push the flight models of the aircraft to the limit or jump into a Quick combat experience. Want to practice for your next campaign on the MSN Gaming Zone? Computer-generated opponents fly aircraft that use the same sophisticated flight models as the user-flyable aircraft.
- Realistic Aircraft Flight Models. Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator aircraft are based on proven and detailed Flight Simulator models.
- Detailed, historically accurate cockpits. We have created realistic cockpits with working instruments. Each fighter cockpit is based on photos of the actual aircraft.
- Virtual cockpit with working instruments. Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator will feature virtual cockpit views with moving instruments.
- Detailed 3D-models (exterior views) of aircraft, buildings, vehicles, and other 3D objects.
- Variety of user-flyable aircraft. We're including eight distinct aircraft. In addition, we expect the third-party developers and the Flight Simulator community to quickly expand the number of aircraft available.
- Force-feedback support. Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator will use the industry standard technology and build on the success of this feature in Flight Simulator 98.
- Multiplayer support over the Internet, LANs, and direct connections. We have proven technology and the advantage of immediate support and promotion on the Zone.
