How many out there have experience with WWI a/c ? ?

I cooked a Red Barron pizza, does that count?

Played the original Red Baron to death, didn't much care for the sequel.  I didn't like DoA either.

I tried the RoF demo and was impressed, even if it has a ways to go before its offline and online play are robust.

Microprose's  "Knights of the Sky"  ....an awesome game! ....I sure miss it.




Helm ...out

[Simba]

Knights of the Sky, Red Baron, Targetware and Dawn of Aces; all three versions of the last, from flickering 2D to the 'Flyboys' crap (surely the worst-ever so-called update of any flight sim).

Favourite ride: RAF SE5a
Favourite two-seater: Bristol F2B Fighter

 

[Miska]

Well lets see. Casting my mind back:

The Camel on Sublogic Flight Simulator
Knights of the Sky: Honest effort, not terribly good results.
Red Baron:  The mission editor was truly impressive.  An instant classic.  Played it to death.
WWI Arena on Airwarrior DOS: First taste of online air combat.  What more can I say?
DoA: Solid.  Played for years.  Led squadron, CMed, the works.
Target Flanders (Targetware): Tragic.
AH WWI: Soon

I flew a little bit of WW1 on Air Warrior 3.

That was SUCH a stupid flight model....going fast was the LAST thing that would win you a fight---the most successful sticks manged to stay just above stall and turn so sharply that the plane would seem to tumble end over end...I finally quit going to that arena

[R 105]

I tried Fly Boys out for about a week. Just fighting drones in there. It was not an Aces High type game.

[TnDep]

I'm a newb flying Aces High 9 Months, only experience I got.  I'm truly an addicted cartoon flyer now though

Played that Atari arcade game "Red Baron" (which you can actually play over at http://games.atari.com/arcade.php?game=redbaron) and put many quarters into it.  I think I also played the WWI Ace portion of the original flight simulator wayyy back in the day when enemy planes were just pixels.  On the PC, played Red Baron, Red Baron II, Red Baron 3D, DoA 2.75, DoA III, the WWI mod for SDOE and some of the WWI planes in Ysflight and had high hopes for Targetware's stuff but after my PC died and I got a new one with Vista, I couldn't get any of the of uploads to install properly so I just gave up on it.  I'm looking forward to flying the WWI in Aces High so I can suck at something else besides WWII stuff although I'm a little puzzled by the choice of planes for the initial set...why the Dr. I?  It wasn't that numerically significant.  Oh well.

Indeed. I think there's currently more replicas in the air than there were originals. But everyone wants the 'Red Baron's Plane'.

Despite the fact that he scored most of his kills in the Albatros series...

The Dr1 is a viable furballer to counter the F1.  Unless HTC actually gives us some nasty bullet dispersion and a difficult-to-fly Camel, the D.VII won't be the equal of the F1 because all of the fights will be on the deck.  This is how it was with the original DoA, but I'm hoping things will be different this time.
