It is my understanding that the rotary (engine spins with prop) engines didn't have a throttle?... Mag advance, and on/off switches only...

I was familiar with three of those fighters, but I didn't know anything about the Bristol F.2b so I looked it up.  Interesting aircraft, kind of multi-role, not as heavy forward firepower, but has a tail gun and it is fast, almost as fast as a Spad XIII.

Yup, that is how they seemed to work.  I think the Foker D.VII and the Bristol F.2b both have inline engines though.

I am not sure I'm excited to fly at 120mph.  But we'll see.

It's all relative.  I'm sure the bases will be at least twice as close to compensate.

We are pleased to announce an upcoming expansion to the Aces High plane set that will introduce World War I (WWI) air combat to the skies of Aces High. The initial four plane set will consist of the Fokker Dr.I, Sopwith Camel, Bristol F.2B, and Fokker D.VII.
These new planes will be available in a separate WWI dogfight arena and will also be available for special events. They will be the first planes to use a new damage system with greatly expanded capability.

Release of the WWI planes is expected before the end of the year although it will not be in the next version release.

Here are some screenshots of the Fokker Dr.I. Check back here for more screenshots of the other new planes in the coming weeks.


New update first looks like  :x

I was lucky enough to see an (original) Sopwith camel fly at an airshow... They run at full throttle all the time in the air.... BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Sounds like the engine is conkin out as you come in to land, Because the pilot has to use a magneto kill switch to thottle the engine...
Brrrrrrp Brrrrrrp Brrrrrrp Brrrp Brrp Brp Blahhhhhhhh............... And coast to a stop with no brakes...

Outta be fun!!!

Well, I'd rather see development go to some more historic and immersive WWII game play options, but I'm sure I'll try this. Might be fun.

Yep. the Bristol Fighter / Brisfit. Was a very good combat aircraft during it's time and IIRC it remained with the RAF until 1932 (!!).

Saw three of those flying in formation during Flying Legends 2006.

Will we be getting castor oil on our goggles?  :D

Will our guns jam, so we have to beat on them with a wooden hammer?  :D
