Join us in the war torn skies over France in a series of campaigns spanning the breadth
of the first air campaign in history. You will be able operate the
most important aircraft fielded during WWI from the years 1915 to 1918 in a series
of organized campaign tournaments. The missions and feel of the game
is more like the real thing than any other WWI flight simulation campaign presently
online. You will have the opportunity to pilot realistic WWI aerial
combat missions that reflect those actually conducted during the Great War.
Participate in balloon busting, bombing, recon, trench mapping, escort and
other missions that will test your skills and ability to survive. Learn to
rely on your squadron mates as you find that Lone Wolves die quickly in these
brutal skies and that teamwork will lead you to victory while minimizing
losses instead. You will only have one life to live, so you must fly intelligently
and use the decisions which give you the best chance for survival until
the next mission is ready to go. Death during a campaign session here
means that you are done for the night, so your responses and actions will be determined
by your desire and need to survive, above all things, just as in real
life combat.
This campaign series is based on the Flanders in Flames
patches produced by Jagdgeschwader I and Wolfgang von Wellenhausen in the heyday
of the Red Baron 3D massive multiplayer community. It uses an advanced
flight model which is far more realistic than the stock Normal Flight Model that
RB3D comes with. This flight model is more challenging and unforgiving
of mistakes, but this lends greatly to the enjoyment you will get out of the
game. The war is broken up into several patches which will be dealt with
chronologically to cover the entire length of the conflict. The war
sessions are held every Tuesday night at 09:00pm Eastern US time and last for
3 hours. Each campaign will last for 8 weeks and then there will be a short
break as we prepare the next campaign.
If you are interested in giving
FAW a try, then click on the Registration button above and fill out the short
form you will find. You will be contacted by e-mail by the FAW Project
Team and we will happily start you on your journey off the aerodrome and into
the virtual skies of WWI. We are presently accepting registration for the
Flanders Air War I, which will cover the time period from the start of the air
war to the beginning of 1916. So get your goggles and scarf ready, yell
'Contact' as your engine roars to life, start your bumpy trip down the airfield
until your canvas wings lift you up to join your comrades in the sky.
We will be waiting. :)
