The best pilots from both sides met in the sky, they were matched equally with machines and conditions not favoring either party. Nothing but the pilot's skill determined the outcome. Flight Simulator fans have always appreciated the simplicity of the aircraft and weapons of this period that allowed the pilots to focus on the dog fight and not on the systems. The best known aircraft of 1917 and 1918 are included, each one modeled in great detail and the simulation of the engines and weapons is unlike anything shown in a WWI simulator before. The Albatros D.V, Fokker D.VII, Nieuport Nie.28 and Spad S.XIII are available as flyable player aircraft. Other aircraft will follow as add-ons (the Nieuport Nie.17 is already available). The world around you is far from being a static backdrop to your flights. Over 100.000 km² of highly realistic terrain (including Lille, Cambrai, Reims and Verdun) complemented with a sophisticated weather model, which creates a perfect stage from where you will engage the enemy. On the ground you will see the tanks rolling towards the enemy and the trains and trucks that supply to the front line. The front line is marked with trenches, explosions and is a dangerous area because of the anti-aircraft. After completing the training flights you can also fly a single mission to perfect your skills. The career mode is the next logical step and you will join a squadron and participate in one of several campaigns. Of course an advanced mission builder is included so you can make your own mission and share them with your friends. If you so desire you can fight other pilots on the internet or join one of the many virtual squadrons. As always, we will support the product with community forums, help documents, game servers and we will also have our very own Aerosoft Squadron that will try to dominate the virtual skies.
