Mission Editor for Combat Flight Simulator Released

The important bit: Microsoft announced the availability of a free downloadable Mission Editor for Combat Flight Simulator, the current best-selling World War II air combat simulation game.

Mission Editor for Combat Flight Simulator Released is the news today, and for late 1998 PC players that usually means one thing: another download, patch, demo, date, or box hitting shelves.

The important bit: Microsoft announced the availability of a free downloadable Mission Editor for Combat Flight Simulator, the current best-selling World War II air combat simulation game. The Mission Editor is available for download at the official Combat Flight Sim Web site. The Combat Flight Sim Mission Editor allows players to build their own missions and campaigns by using an Excel spreadsheet that contains fields for all the mission and campaign parameters.

That is the kind of practical news that actually helps. Either grab it, patch it, or mark the date before the next flood of downloads buries it.
