I use to play Warbirds quite a bit (WWII planes). I haven't for a little while. They also had something called Dawn of Aces that was included. It was all about WWI flying. In the older versions you could even pilot derigables (sp?). You probably still can but like I said I mainly stayed in the WWII area flying my B17 or A6M.
The up side. Although I only briefly tried it out if the flight models are anything like Warbirds it's really done well. Also it's an online thing and you get to play against other players.
The downside: Stand alone it's real basic stuff (mainly for practicing). You have to subscribe to really enjoy the sim and the cheapest subscription is $9.95 per month. At least it was awhile ago. Also... I don't know how big the WWI community is but I know they hold special events and stuff that attracts people to the arenas. I've been a member of the community circa 1998.
Thanks for all the work you did putting all those mods together for RuB (all the versions!) <S>!!!
