Wanted:- WW1 dogfighter

[Blunderbuss]

Can anyone recommend a reasonably good World War One flight simulator/arcade dogfighter? My only requirement is that it must be Windows XP compatible. I already have a couple of WW2 games (Sturmovik and PH:SAD) and Comanche 4, but I fancy a change of pace. Cheers.

Here is a link where you can download Sierra's 'Red Baron'. I bought this years ago when I had an AT. The AT was too slow to run the game properly, but it looked like it would be fun on a faster machine:

The WWI simulations have been dormant the last 5 years or so...MS Combat Flight Simulator apart (ofcourse).

There are two games in the line for release this fall or next year (knock on wood):

Knights over Europe
Wings of Honor

However, there are scores of cancelled WWI flyers the past few years, so expect little..

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, I know that Red Baron does not work with XP (according to www.sold-out.co.uk). The yet-to-be-released games will probably overwhelm my current graphics card, so it looks like I've picked the wrong time to try for a WW1 flying game!

Resisti. I have now joined in a game of Blue Max. Tally ho! <Edit. I like this game. The way you can see who is a rookie and single them out for the kill is a good idea. Perhaps we may find ourselves fighting each other.>
