WWI & WWII historical and educational flight simulator

[joaquingrech]

Hi guys, We are making a flight simulator that won't be the usual shoot-them-all. It will include actual real stories from WWI and WWII veterans. Their children and grandchildren wrote to us with them. The project is looking for funding, we made a short video and this is our first kickstarter campaign. We hope you like it and can help us out a bit to get the word out or with pledges :) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/echoboomapps/dogfight-elite

I am reminded of two games: Falcon [3.0] and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. Each points to a different gameplay problem with combat flight simulation.

Falcon 3.0 was increasingly harder to fly as the simulation became more accurate. It's a fact. F-16's are hard to fly.

Many of SWotL's combat missions were long when flying from the allied side, even with time acceleration - it's a long way from England to Schweinfurt. Then it's a long way back.

A game needs to cut through the ordinariness of reality. Not simulate it.

Good Luck.
