My only objection to OFF is that is currently limited to mid-late war. With RB3D and the Western Front mod I can fly a Vickers Gunbus in 1915 and with some of the other mods it looks very good.

Ya also your pretty limited right now with german units you can pick for campaigns

Oh yeah. I like the Eastern Front mod, since it is the only mod/game where you can fly austrian airplanes...:lol:

I must add my applause to this mod - or perhaps I should refer to it as a new game ?

This is one of those conversions where it's worth buying the original game to play the mod ( call me biassed, but I like to think Pacific Aces was another example).

The use of the Adaggio music sets the tone straight away and the sound generally creates wonderful immersion.

This is a long overlooked era that's always welcome on my desktop.

Hum... there is also "Snoopy vs the Red Baron" http://namco.com/games/snoopy
for the PS2, PSP and the PC :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Some CFS 3 addons with a rare WW2 topic: Gloster Gladiator:

Red Baron (Dynamix developed) was the best ever WWI flight sim imho. The prospect of building a career and flying alongside Von Richtofen was thrilling enough. Too bad the missions were repetetive.

I wish they'd get someone to make a World War I air sim with the IL-2 Sturmovik engine.

EDIT: I mean someone OFFICIAL.

that would be awsome!!!!! Oleg Maddox, are you reading this?

A new challenger appears!

I bought it for a bit of a distraction, and ended up with a bit of an addiction. Far from complete, but already functional and with modding, promises to be a lot more fun with time. I'll personally recommend it.

I was just logging in to post the link myself!

Mmmmmmmmmm.... this sneaked up under the parapet. Where did this come from ? No hype, no advance demos, no eternally delayed release dates . Is this the gaming industry we're talking about ?

Interesting approach. Apparently the Game Studio builds a solid game, with minimal artwork assets, and leaves the full development to the moddong community. It describes it as a simulation-lite, which means it's based firmly in reality but designed for game fun at the expence of hard core realism.

I couldn't put it down.

That "First Eagles" game looks worse then Red Baron 3D (If u use skins and the anti-fog hax).

Even worse than Red Baron. Must be bad. ;)
