Rise of Flight: The First Great Air War

Game description:

Rise of Flight is a state-of-the-art PC flight simulation title that sets a new standard in fidelity, beauty and realism. The game puts you right in the pilot's seat of the greatest World War 1 aircraft (Spad 13.C1, Fokker D.VII, Albatros D.Va and the Nieuport 28.C1)! Historical references and modern computer graphics were combined to render more than 100,000 square kilometers of French countryside that is disfigured by a terribly cratered battlefield. You can rise through the ranks from a green Lieutenant all the way to full Colonel. Feel the real flight! Hurry up! Put on your flying goggles and silk scarf! The enemies are approaching! Who will be the next Manfred fon Richthofen of Eddie Rickenbacker?

Demo description:

Demo-access for the Rise of Flight provides you with 1 aircraft available for piloting (Spad 13.C1), and three missions: first mission of Training campaign, "Russian roulette" and "Single Patrol" missions.
