They have some steep competition from Rise of Flight.  Sadly the Rise of Flight single player is not as good as Red Baron's was years ago but its not bad.



Pat Wilson's campaign generator is a free mod for RoF, and is VASTLY superior to the base campaign.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Looks so much like WT vids I wonder if they didn't license the engine.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

I wish they finished the remake of "Wings" that was my first favorite. I know they had started to redo it. But it never came to pass

I've heard that but I haven't tied it yet.  Mostly do quick online matches now in Rise of Flight.  Some good sticks out in the RoF multi-player community....even if some of them fly the SE5A (WWI's answer to the PonyD.... :lol).
Going by "Hoplite" now. :)

I've played a bit with the Camel and Nieuport 28, but I really think my favorite is the SPAD. The rotary birds are just too bouncy for my tastes, and I get really frustrated trying to line up on the cockpit and engine and just end up spraying everywhere (shooting wings is pretty useless). The SPAD, however, is a nice and stable gun platform, and much easier to get my guns on target. Especially with that Aldis sight. Maneuverability isn't great, but got to love her vertical and diving ability. I love watching Fokkers try to pull lead on me in the spiral climb and just flop right over.

I wonder how the Zeppelin raids will play out in this one. :headscratch:  I had a lot of fun intercepting Zeppelins in Red Baron! :x

Those missions were way cool. Want to say I moved to this for a while after Chuck Yeager's Air Combat and thought the graphics were mind blowing!

If the sales are good for this new RB, I wouldn't bet against seeing Aces of the Pacific remade as well, as Dynamix did that one as well, and the person who owns the rights to the new RB game I'm sure would be offered the same should the $ be right.

This whole new crowdfunding thing is bringing a lot of great games to the public.  Look at Chris Roberts, it's been almost 20 years since the huge success of Wing Commander, and people didn't forget - to the tune of about 33 million in crowdfunding investments so far - he doesn't have to answer to a huge company like EA or anything either this way, the money being the public's, he only has to answer to them, and is being very involved in the BBS system over there at Star Citizen.
