The programmers in Grapevine designed the original "Dawn of Aces"......would be nice if they did another WWI sim.

It's just not my bag Mano.  I guess I just feel more of a connection to the WW II era than WW I.

I would LOVE a WW1 arena.

I would love it if HTC built a WW1 arena!

I bought Rise of Aces recently, hoping for a good WW1 sim...  Unfortunately, while the game is very pretty to look at, the setup and game play is very ugly.  In my opinion.  Wish I could get my $40 back.

C'mon Hitech, you could start with maybe 4 aircraft...  Use your existing physics and terrain systems...  Just another arena...  It would be fun!  I wouldn't even mind if you bumped the sub rate to 19.95!

As i recall, the WW1 arena in AW was usually fairly empty.  The slow speed fights were a lot of fun but the novelty seemed to wear off real quick after a few fights and also trying to deal with the weird biplane views.  
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
