What dynamic' means in this context is that the success of you and your squadron has an effect on the outcome of the campaign.

While this isn't strictly accurate in that the actions of a single pilot were extremely unlikely to have much of an impact, it makes for great gameplay and watching the frontline move gives you a real incentive to try that bit harder to avoid being shot down. Another benefit of doing well is that your pilot and squadron get points' which can be used to acquire better planes or give your existing one custom markings. When it comes to flight sims, graphics are all-important as the simulator' bit means you want an accurate depiction of the view out of the window, as well as nice-looking planes.

The graphics in CFS3 are something of a mixture - the external plane models are excellent, with fantastic lighting effects, but the cockpits are far inferior to those in IL The terrain looks OK from 20,ft, with photorealistic textures like those in Flight Sim These are crap from 2,ft, when the textures get very blocky, but good at ft, when the detailed ground textures and trees come into their own. The terrain engine seems very PC-hungry as well, and you'll need quite a bit of horsepower to get things running smoothly.

You can turn detail levels down, of course, but this makes the scenery look a lot worse. The combat itself is pretty exciting, with spectacular explosions and other effects, and the enemy Al, while obviously not as good as human opponents, is improved over previous releases.
