I can buy either Pacific Fighters or CFS 3 (couldn't find IL2 anywhere.) I really only have time to spend with one.

I did some digging and found PF review results were poor relative to IL2. Everyone seems to agree that IL2 is better than CFS 3 but is the same true for Pacific Fighters? Or does the 6DOF support in CFS 3 give it the edge over Pacific Fighters?

Lastly, if I was more concerned about the "game" aspects and less concerned about the "sim" aspects, does that favour one over the other?

For my $ it's IL2 merged with PF. The best WWII sim ever developed in my experience. You can get IL2 + AEP + PF (all paid addons that you'll want as a merged install) if you do a little hunting online. Some good deals out there.

Try gogamer.com. They are still selling the IL-2 Forgotten Battles Gold Pack for $29.90. Like Dart said, merge it with Pacific Fighters, and you will get the best WW2 flight sim.

Thanks - what's you're opinion if I had to go ahead with Pacific Fighters alone without IL2 or the other expansions?

Ditto!
