Is it still worth playing?

Set on the Western Front of the First World War, this combat flight simulation for MS-DOS from 1990 was created by Damon Slye at Dynamix. You can fly single missions or a career for the German Air Service or the Royal Flying Corps, and may fly in the Red Baron's squadron, Jasta 11, or meet him as an enemy. Aircraft include the Fokker Eindecker, the Fokker Triplane, the Sopwith Camel and the SPAD XIII. The physics are somewhat unrealistic, since it was meant as an entertaining game and not a true flight simulator, but the flying characteristics of some aircraft are modeled. The player also faces gun jams, flak, engine damage and possibly bleeding to death if wounded and unable to land in time. Missions include dogfights, scrambles and patrols. Flying biplanes against an ace is still a good chase.
