Experience the thrill of flying in the skies of World War I with our retro-inspired flight simulator. Fly famous planes like the Fokker Dr1, Airco DH2, Albatros C.III, Fokker E.III, and the Sopwith Camel. Blue Sky Aces takes you back to those early days of flight where man and machine dueled over the skies of western Europe, high above the bloody stalemate in the trenches below. Battle your way through masses of enemy aircraft in close quarters dog fights, take on dangerous missions against observation balloons, and strafe soldiers and other ground targets.
Blue Sky Aces is designed to be quick and easy to learn, with flight physics that strike the perfect balance between realism and fun. This allows you to focus on flying and having fun, without needing to learn complex controls and systems. You don't even need a joystick or a high powered computer to play, a basic computer and a mouse is all that's required.
Key features include:
Play in either first person cockpit view, or third person chase camera perspectives.
Fun flight physics that are easy to learn, but difficult to master.
Unlock new aircraft and upgrades as the war progresses.
