What our customer's say!

"Flyboys for PC game", The hype and movie was much better than the game. It is reminiscent of those mindless arcade games we used to play 30 years ago.
Sort of like some MS releases - Buggy, little or no instruction, bad graphics and no support.
Targetware is 10 times better and free.

"All depends on your skill level", I'll admit it. What I was looking for was something like my "Red Baron" game, where I can climb in the cockpit, take off, and go fight enemy planes. This one is a lot more complicated than that. Which may be good for experienced gamers. I was frustrated from the get-go. I took off, and found I could hardly keep the plane on an even keel. Trying to get a bead on an enemy plane was near impossible for me. I had to turn off the "yaw" feature so the plane wouldn't keep moving back and forth. If there's a time compression feature, I haven't found it. It took me 8 minutes to get to a battle scene once (I put the plane on "Fly Me" and went to get a soda). There are several campaign modes, and they are actually good ones (fighting the Red Baron, stopping a Zeppelin, etc). So I guess this depends on what one is looking for. If you're an experienced gamer, or are looking for games that are a challenge, this would be good for you. If not, maybe you should go for one of the CFS games by Microsoft.

"Flyboys Squadron", I am very pleased with product. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the WWI Flight Sim Games.

"Flyboys", I enjoy this game very much. It is more than I expected. Wish there were more like it(WW1 flying)

"FLYBOYS", Not exactly what I was expecting. But still fun only 12 missions. Would have been better to be able to pick a person from the movie and play that role out.... not too bad though.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"WORST FLIGHT SIM EVER", I'm a satisifed veteran of many, many good flight sims and this is the worst one I've ever tried.

"jon's review.", This game should have come with an IP to IP multiplayer option. It is too hard to get fellow cyber squadron members to pay xtra money for something that should be included in the original purchase. The lack of this feature has really eroded our view of this game.

"Flyboys Squadron = Fun", Combat flight simulations for personal computers have been around for more than 25 years and have evolved in a multitude of ways. Some flight sims became arcade games in order to appeal to large segments of gamers (i.e. Ace Combat for Playstation 1 and 2). Others remained hard core to their roots (i.e. Falcon series) requiring players to read a 500+ page manual in order to master both flying and combat. Somewhere along this multi pronged pathway, on-line gaming developed from simple head to head modem encounters to small scale on-line battles... J.W. "Wild Bill" Stealey, who founded MicroProse with Sid Meier in the early 1980s, had a vision of massive aerial battles taking place over the Internet. Nothing like that has been done to date and Mr. Stealey, a retired USAF pilot, decided to form a new video game company with that vision in mind. iEntertainment Network was born in 1995 and its focus became creating large on-line air wars. Over the past 11 years, Mr. Stealey's game development team unleashed numerous blockbuster titles under the TotalSims banner covering both World War I and II. One of the top titles in the series is WarBirds 2006, which after more than 10 years of continuous expansion is a great success story in materializing Mr. Stealey's vision of large-scale on-line aerial combat.

A few days ago I had the honor of joining Mr. Stealey a.k.a. Wild Bill for a test flight of his latest combat flight sim: Flyboys Squadron. This game was developed specifically for the MGM Motion Picture, FlyBoys and as such will be available with the film's DVD albeit in the demo form. Flyboys Squadron is a World War I flight sim that covers a range of aircraft that were dominant between 1914 and 1918 on both sides of the conflict. These fragile machines have been recreated with painstaking detail in the game. At the same time Wild Bill's programmers made sure that the flight model is as realistic to the old birds as possible. Flyboys Squadron was built on the solid graphics engine behind WarBirds 2006 and as such offers performance balanced visuals and superb network code, which result in smooth and fun battles. Aside from the multiplayer aspect, the game offers an in-depth single player campaign. The Single Player missions tend to be a very good training course for the true challenge: going mano a mano against human opponents across the globe. FlyBoys Squadron starts with basic gunnery, teaches the player how to solo and survive in combat, and then sends the player out to take on the Baron or to defend Paris from the enemy Zeppelin bombing attacks! FlyBoys Squadron players also get three Easter eggs located on the main screen of FlyBoys, which allow players to choose aircraft from 1915 to 2006, from Sopwith Camels to the modern Predator UAV, geographical terrains from Flanders to Randolph Air Force Base, Texas to make their own missions and single player games. If the player can survive the 12 exciting and multilevel (from novice to ace) difficulty missions, then he should go online against real players!

Flyboys Squadron is part of the TotalSims on-line subscription service which for a bargain price of $13.95 per month offers three Total Sims games. The first month is free and players should take advantage challenging human players to see how good they are. Another good move after joining the TotalSims on-line subscription service is to find an Online Squadron to be a part of when you are on-line. It is a good way to stay alive as I found flying with the =4th= Fighter Group on-line! TotalSims membership offers two more battle tested combat games including the previously mentioned WarBirds 2006, which is a World War II flight sim, and Armored Assault, which is a World War II tank sim. Another great feature of the TotalSims series is that it is continuously updated. By the time most new FlyBoys Squadron pilots get their games, the game will have at least 2 new airplanes, a new terrain, and other new features from the online update feature. FlyBoys Squadron gamers will get additional missions when they update over the next few months!

What started as a one-hour test flight with Wild Bill quickly turned into a five-hour fun blast. The first thing that I noticed is that all three games share more than the same graphics engine. There is a seamless intuitive design present in all three games, which helps a novice player gain experience quickly. For example, in Flyboys Squadron the training missions are structured so that you get to fly with the AI instructor and learn along the way rather quickly. The difficulty setting in the single player campaign can be set to either normal or difficult mode while a truly innovative setting is called: progressive difficulty. This feature starts the player with fewer challenges early on in the game and increases them as the player progresses. The crown jewel of the gaming experience is the on-line mode.

Wild Bill, his friend Bombr- (a retired Air Force Colonel and real pilot), and I flew couple of sorties over the battlefields over Verdun lurking for the unsuspecting German aeroplanes. Within a few minutes of patrolling the skies, we ran into a German fighter (on-line friend BlueMax) who in the spirit of Manfred von Richthofen taught us a quick lesson in not using teamwork. As we were all shot down one by one in an engulfing inferno of fire and smoke we agreed to collectively avenge our digital deaths by working together. The next time we took off and met BlueMax, he was at our mercy and quickly became another casualty of the on-line carnage. I highly recommend using TeamSpeak while playing the TotalSims games including Flyboys Squadron.

As we finished a very in depth tour of Flyboys Squadron, Wild Bill invited me to meet the very friendly, helpful and fun TotalSims community of gamers. It just happened that the day Wild Bill and I flew there was a huge event, taking place on one of the special iEntertainment Network's Total Sims servers. This massive on-line event is the recreation of a Luftwaffe raid on the group of airfields in Southern England. The on-line battle attracted over 170 players on-line from all over the world with regulars coming from Madrid and Brazil. We were divided in groups on both sides following strict rules of gameplay engagement. This event is one of the many highly anticipated recreations of historically accurate aerial battles that are available as part of the monthly subscription. I have flown combat flight sims since 1987 and must admit that I have never experienced the intensity of air war as I have flying along side many of the die hard fans of this game. This is the kind of thing that I expected Battle of Britain 2 and IL-2 to deliver. Those games focused too much on the single player component as their developers forgot that as humans we tend to have more fun playing against each other than against the computer.

The overall gaming experience with FlyBoys Squadron and the TotalSims games is outstanding. The single player game is great fun with lots of missions and player options. The on-line play is lag free and the games run very smooth on the majority of mid to high-end computes. I highly suggest joining the TotalSims on-line community and seeing how much fun massive multiplayer air war can be.
