SimHQ.com - Air Combat Zone - Preview: First Eagles: The Great War 1918

Flight models feel appropriate for the aircraft types. I did find a few oddities but considering that this is still a BETA version, I’ll withhold my full evaluation until the game is complete.

Packaging Hardware requirements for good game performance seem to be modest, just like the SFP1 series is. I ran my BETA copy at 1280x1024x32, 4 x AA, 8 x Aniso, with all the in-game options at maximum and it ran very smoothly on my AMD 3700, NV 7900GT. I am sure lesser computers can be easily accommodated with a little tuning of the in-game options.

FE has the potential to be a successful game. The popularity of the SFP1 series is due to three primary reasons, they are:

1) open architecture- allowing users to modify just about anything they please.

2) The reliable support of the developer ("TK" and Crew) who have continuously updated the entire SF series, and

3) A dedicated "fan" community that have provide all kinds of modifications and add-ons to the basic titles.

I see no reason not to expect First Eagles: The Great War 1918 to follow suit.
