I would love it. I always enjoyed Dawn of Aces (a Hitech creation).

No, HTC is right to focus only on WWII. There is way too much left to do in WWII.

Nothing as much fun as a tight turn knife fight at 50 foot alt., in a wood and fabric burner with two machine guns. Bombing from a Zeppelin is fun too...WWI planes turn faster...so the fights are more intense and have more action.

WW1 would make a fantastic sim, much more interesting and challenging than the pile of crappy jet sims that we have endured. "F-22 Raptor" pfft.

Of course you cant HO with cannons, so that might not sit well with some.

HiTech when asked about this online a few years ago, and I quote:

"Been there, done that"

I remember thinking to myself "as if AH isnt a "been there done that". Anyway, find below a link that will provide some hope for the fabric wing crowd.

yes, i still like to fly DOA offline, since there is no more online, once in a while. but if i remember corectly hitech said he wont do another WW1 flight sim. bribe him with a real fokker maybe he would change his mind for that.

Air Warrior had a WWI arena. It was empty.

It won't help pay the freight.

I vote no.

Red Baron off line and Dawn of Aces on line were fun, including the dirigibles and field artillery in the latter.

But the WWI crates would come apart pretty easily from manuevers as well as bullets, and at best most things seemed to be a more feeble and slow motion version of WWII. Which is the way it really was, right?

So, no, I'd rather Aces High stick with refining the ultimate prop and gun vehicles of WWII.
