Glitches and bugs

Due to Combat Flight Simulator being a dinosaur age simulator from the 2000's and with the obsolete developer support, no doubt there are bugs and exploits to encounter, though most of these exploits can only be achieved with a Joystick like a Logitech.. Some cheats are needed to find these exploits.

Skipping Cut scenes
Also known as the Skip Cut scene Technique .When ever it would be parachuting, crashing, finishing a or failing a mission press F4 to change your view will end the cut scene. If you crash and use SCT you can look around see a brief of below the game world, but you still wont be able to doing anything. Cut scenes can be resumed by manually ending the mission.

Endless Task Point Reaching
When warping to a way point there is a chance the target may not be there at all. When trying to move away from the area attempting to warp will bring you back to the non existent target. With no point in continuing the player will exit the mission resulting in failure.

Bomb Boosting
When dropping bombs it will damage players that are too close. How ever this effect at the right altitude and angle can benefit the player and cause them to speed up to cover more ground, gain altitude faster or even escape enemies easily. Bigger bombs can increase your acceleration but the risk includes losing control of your plane, blacking out, or even damage from going past max speed design, so it is advised to turn that off in realism settings.

Rapid Fire Cannons
Have Unlimited Ammo on. Before warping to a destination fire your guns or cannons then warp while holding the fire button. Once the warping ends your guns will fire at an insane rate turning slow firing heavy cannons into explosive machine guns where you can easily demolish targets within seconds This glitch ends when the player lets go of the trigger.

Leaving the map
Attempting the leave the map will stop you in mid air. Releasing bombs will launch themselves out of your plane like how rockets behave.

Parked Runway Bombing
Known as PRB for short. Blowing your self up on the runway dropping bombs or rockets before take off can indeed kill you or produce a bizarre combination of glitches. Depending on how heavy the bomb is or flight model you could be sent flying sky high in a corkscrew shaped fashion while floating for a while with only a fuselage or "leap" to the ground around you. Using infinite ammo can amplify this sequence further or overlap it. Such events include-
 * Leaving behind a broken smoke trail texture.
 * Making surviving wing men take off behind you only to crash.
 * Produce a crash landing animation of your pilot limping while the camera pans across the airfield erratically. This is more likely to happen at high health over 100.

"Kiss of Death" Runway Glitch
While you are on the runaway with wing men behind, turn your engine on to very low power and try to steer 180 degrees behind you towards the friendly plane. Once done approach that plane's nose until yours is in contact with it until you are "kissing". Their plane will explode and fall though the ground. This is easier to accomplish with tricycle wheel aircraft such as the P-55 Ascender.

Plane Pileup
While having 5 or more wing men on the runaway behind you take off as usual but cut the engine and brake when you are half way there. The bots behind you will try to slow down to no avail, and the first behind you will crash. While using the Skip Cut scene technique right after the following planes will also crash and burn amusingly one by one.

Escort Mission Bug
This mission type for Fighter planes is broken. When choosing to escort planes, the mission may go on forever back and forth from one way point to the next and make you run out of fuel or quit the mission.
