Phil 9 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Whilst searching on you tube for model videos I keep coming across PC game clips. Some of the titles are Aces of iron Rise of flight Knights of the sky I am not a big gamer but thet do look like they could be fun an maybe fill in some time when working away. Has anyone played these types of games. Any recommendations ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plummet Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Just recently I've wasted a huge amount of time playing DROD. It is silly, But is a hard logic type game of killing cockroaches, tar, snakes and eyeballs etc. with a very big sword. As a person who usually refuses to play violent games it is daft, but trying to work out just how to kill ALL the meanies is somehow rather nice. Be warned. It is addictive. Very addictive. But... No! don't do it. Plummet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Davis Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Posted by Phil 9 on 19/11/2013 16:53:35: No gamers here then? Well perhaps not, but I have stumbled across Rise of Flight and thought it was very attractive but I haven't an idea of how I would get it on to my computer. I have a joystick which I used to use for a game called Sturmovic but I haven't used it for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Fairgrieve Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Rise of Flight is awesome. You do need a powerful rig to get the best of it though. Another WWI sim is a conversion of CFS3 which goes by the name of Over Flanders Fields. Again a lot of computer knowledge needed and it does not run well on Windows 7 or 8.

In the early days yes. But now there is an offline mode. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-richards Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 What about (world of warplanes) Its not that good but its fun Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bowker Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'm addicted to World of Tanks I've never had any interest in tanks in the past and still don't. I think it's the strategy and challenge of survival that makes it so addictive to me. The quality of its physics engine is pretty awesome too. I didn't like World of Warplanes.........what the heck is wrong with me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 well I downloaded rise of flight and it is free to play (they make their money by getting you to pay for extra features like new aircraft ect) It seem very good so far and I have only scratched the surface It is one of those games you can loose house on so be warned. But if you find yourself away from home with not much to do it look great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 I think you can get a little carried away with this sort of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 well I seem to be able to control the planes better with the out of aircraft view (I wonder why that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Whiskey Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Well this week given the weather has seen my spend too much time with WarThunder, which is very similar to World of War Planes, dam addictive when I should be clearing and tidying my workshop, putting a few artf's together, small repair to my 50cc and changing an engine on a 600 heli ! Ah well....... Anyone else use WarThunder ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Rise of Flight and IL2 Cliffs of Dover are very good. The down side is having to be on line and the stupid steam thing. You don't own the game anymore I prefer the CFS3 OFF WW1 sim. no need to be online and you own the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 you can play Rise of Flight off line. I still have only use the free aircraft so, so far it has not cost me anything to play it. But since my original post I have not had much free time to play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeS Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yes I play IL2 1945 which is the previous version to IL2 COD. Been around 15 years and has had major updates and planes added. Not the best graphics now but still one of the best game for online/offline play. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Whiskey Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 WarThunder you have to login but if you just wait until connection timeout error appears you can then just go into the menu to play single or campaign missions and all free still. Seems like the only flying I am getting these days ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Dammit that looks good DW....sold all my pc joysticks though...might have to buy an old saitek X45 or 52....is it smooth graphic wise ? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
