This is a flight sim by the same developer that did Strike Fighters: Project 1, Wings Over Vietnam, and Wings Over Europe.

Like the former, it has a very open archecture, so there will be a ton of freeware mods/add-ons coming for it. Very Happy

A good forum to keep abreast of all the developments: simhq

I tried playing this earlier, but I couldn't find the afterburner key to map it to my joystick. Sad

It is meant to be a sim-lite. Not arcade, but not as hardcore as IL-2/Pacific Fighters, or Falcon 4.

Have you tried Over Flanders Fields? Your opinion may change afterward. I was a RedBaron3D guy myself until OFF came out.

First Eagles should be pretty good, though. It is getting some good intial feedback from users (as long as you don't expect a hardcore sim) - not nearly immersive as OFF, but still fun, nonetheless.
