Summary
Fantastic WW1 flight simulation.
The Good
This is a great WW1 flight simulator and was one of the first 3D titles ever for the PC. It actually had DOS patch versions for the Voodoo 1 and Rendition Verite1000 , remember those :) But when all the patchs (about 20 patchs!) were finished it ended up as a Direct3D game for WIndows.
It has a "realistic" and complicated flight model, these aren't jets and the game lets you feel like you are flying something made of wood and wire, the guns are also wimpy and require accurate shooting.
The AI and missions are good and there is a nice selection of 1917-18 planes to fly from the Sopwith Pup to Fokker Dr.1 and Spad XIII....... all very different to fly.
The Bad
As you fly over the landscape there is an occasional pause as the landscape loads from the CD, if this happens in combat it results in "warping" of the planes which is very annoying.
More planes than those of 1917-18 would have made this game have more longevity.
The Bottom Line
A really great hardcore WW1 flight simulator with fantastic production quality, but make sure you have it patched to the final Gold..y? version. Forget the DOS and play it in Windows 9x Direct3D.
