(Attention, not savegame compatible!)
- added the Rumpler C and the Breguet 14
- added a pilot ranking list
- added a little personnel management at the airfields
- major performance improvements and thus significantly less stuttering
- loading already loaded savegames should now work as expected
- favorite paintings on airfields are now independent of aircraft type and aces should keep their unique paintings
- many squad ai behaviors have been improved (hopefully for the better), e.g. mysterious crashes have almost disappeared
- shadows changed so they create more contrast
- added particle effects when airplanes hit the ground
- and as always a lot of smaller fixes and improvements
still a good way to go, but the end is getting in sight
Skies above the Great War is set on the Western Front during the First World War. You take the lead of the air forces, either on the allied or the german side. And because every single aircraft is fully simulated in real-time you can take over the control of any aircraft at any moment and join the fight yourself.
FEATURES:
Take direct control of any plane at any time and prove yourself in easily accessible but challenging dogfights with detailed damage models.
Provide your airfields with machines and pilots and send them on missions that support your overall war strategy on a persistent 10.000 square kilometers wide gameworld fully simulated in real time.
From reconnaissance missions to front patrolling, strategic bombing and balloon hunting, it is up to you to use your resources wisely and stand up to the enemy.
Hire manufacturers such as Fokker or Sopwith to produce airplanes and even to let them develop new models that are able to compete with the constantly advancing technology of your enemy.
Manage your airfields and squadrons to make them as effective as possible.
Individualize your squadrons and every single aircraft with custom paintings and insignias.
Each pilot comes with his individual portrait and a given talent that needs to be transferred into skill. So train them and order them wisely to your squadrons so they can take up their duty in the skies.
From time to time a name or two will pop up among the ranks of talented newcomer pilots that might be familiar to those interested in history.
