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.
  • Want to skip one or more of the features above? Just hand it over to the AI and play the game exactly as you like.

  • Support a solo indie game developer!

patch 2.0

I finally found the time to really sit down with the game again and patch it into a very, very good state. Even though its still not perfect, this is a huge step forward.

  • Performance and memory issues are solved. The game now runs much more smoothly and no longer slows down over time (at least on my test machine).

    [/*]
  • New 3D cloud model (thanks to SunshineClouds 2.0 by Bonkahe).

    [/*]
  • Improved lighting and post-processing color correction, making everything look much nicer.

    [/*]
  • Added Steam Trading Cards, Badges and Store Items.

    [/*]
  • The AI now behaves more logically and has far fewer problems on the campaign map.

    [/*]
  • Lots of small fixes for issues I came across.

    [/*]

If possible, please let me know briefly whether everything is running smoothly for you and whether theres anything that still urgently needs to be fixed.

Thank\'s and have fun!
