Game for WWI fans

[sixstrings5859]

Here's a sim for WWI that will play great on any computer. It's called FS-WWI. Fun to play and best of all it's free ! Here it is : http://www.fsww1.com/

I do believe that you need to install the game from here first:

Then the others are installed after it.

Is that not correct ???

There is a download from the site that requires no game cd to use or install. Install option 3 is where to download complete sim. It is free also. Regards,Scott

I actually had a very small hand in that, crossing the aisle from the WW2 side (upon request from the main developers) to skin a bird or two and tweak a little bit of the GUI! The FS-SDOE community was always one of the best.:applause:

You don't need the original game for the latter two install options (and they're easier).

While very quite these days, the community still exists at http://www.openplanesim.com/

Thanks, guys. I'll give it a shot.

It's really more than a game . It's a combat flight simulator that is a challenge to fly and fight in. Easy for most computers to play. I use Win 7 64 bit with no trouble to report.

But it did not have an campaign mode only a collection of missions, or is this being improved?

[Threedp]

While we were able to improve FS-SDOE dramatically in a lot of ways, there was never any capacity for a dynamic campaign or a quick combat option. Development has effectively ended. We did what we could. Given that it was a contemporary of CFS1, keeping it alive and viable as long as we did was an achievement to be proud of, but we pretty much polished things off a few years ago, although if anything, the WW1 version does get some attention from time to time.
