Air Conflicts - PC

limited game play. too much of the same mission over and over. don't waste your time or money on this. good graphics, no imagination.

wow here i am writing a bad review . i didnt think it possible its ironic that they put this game next to iron aces wich i rated as cardboard aces the graphics are lile crayon drawings . now this one even with this years new computer , massive memory and top of the line video card . i can not get this game to install . ok if your reading this you must like flight simulators . dont waste your money as i have . the best are still il2 and il 2 sturmovic also il 2 ace expansion pack . those are great flight sims it seems today they spend the marketing on the box and the game does not even load up. trust me go for il2 forgotten battles ace expansion pack .that game does not dissapoint in anyway.

I played this many years ago for hours on Windows XP. It is a arcade type game and I also remember finding out how to tweak the settings files to increase some power settings and make my plane stronger. A couple of years ago, lots of things were taken in a break-in and it was taken.I just got a new Windows computer that I upgraded to Windows 10 (Lenovo Horizon 2s) and I researched Amazon for this program and others (Silent Hunter series. I wanted to see if they were still as much fun as years ago and if they would run under Windows 10. Yes on both counts! The DVD Rom installed from a USB portable optical drive. It took a long time. I do not have any trouble yet with any old games running under Windows 10.This Air Conflicts game is a real blast but I still am searching to find the files to tweak so I don't get shot down so often!

The game is OK. I couldn't really put my finger on why I didn't like it but I didn't dislike it either. If you're looking for a way to waste a few hours, this is your game. But don't expect anything groundbreaking with it.

Back in the day, all my friends played F-22 Lightning 3. Many years later, I wanted to play a flying game with my kids. F-22 Lightning is still around, and still fun...but you have to really jump through hoops to play it on more than one computer located in the same house. It also requires a central server and the language on public games is not kid friendly at all.So after looking around I found Air Conflicts. It has good LAN play and will run on older systems, although you will need to turn the frame rate and details down on a built in Intel graphics card (I think there is a patch for that, but it runs pretty smooth just to turn some settings to low). My entry-level gaming system has a ZOTAC nVidia GeForce 9500GT, and it plays it great.The pros. It's not a flight simulator. Your nine-year old can jump right in and start playing. Multiplayer is pretty easy to set up. I've only played a few games in it, but it's fun enough to justify the price of this game. In fact, that's the one reason I bought this game. It also has some fun single player missions.The cons. It's not a flight simulator and the planes are WWII era. I so want to roll over and dive or fly upside down, but you just can't do it. It has missiles, but it seems almost impossible to actually hit another plane with them. And sometimes it seems like a plane should look like swiss cheese and yet they keep on flying.All things considered, I gave it four stars. If you could roll over, I might have given it a five. Most of the things that make this a good game are there. Doesn't take a state of the art gaming system; Easy for people to just jump in and fly; and fairly priced = worth it!

Release date is 2006.This game can easily be played with a mouse, as can COMBAT WINGS Battle of Britain, Air Conflicts Secret Wars[this one is a disaster]. See my reviews for both after 6-21-2014.This game brings a lot! The graphics are better than one would expect. This is actually 3 games in one as you can fly for the RAF, Russia, or Germany. It has difficulty levels you can choose from. You gain aircraft as you go. Each one has it`s pros and cons. Even a novice can jump right in and start dealing out destruction. The only downside is you can`t save a mission and refly it. You have to go through the game again which is not that hard. Windows 7&8 compatible GOING FURTHER Now that you have finished the game, what is there to do? Plenty! You can fly the missions the way you want. Let the enemy planes chase you staying just out of range, picking them off at your leisure. Bomb whatever[saving enough to complete mission. Fly upside down. Here`s how . Gain altitude max speed attempt loop and keep holding up/back stick. Remember all controls are reversed!!! Fly under loading cranes. Watch out for staggered canes or trees. Go to the right side of screen and click on multiplayer. On the left side near the bottom click on create. You can now refly different areas. true-you fly unopposed, but it`s good practice. AT the top keep clicking until Holland comes up. Now fly under the bridges. Final note you can only use the planes you have accumulated in the main game, so don`t delete all of them. If you get confused on GOING FURTHER feel free to contact me. I have to give this game 5 stars.

This game is only for arcade use. Do not purchase if you want to experience flight similar to the real planes. I feel that if you are not a flight sim person and just want a game you can shoot and shoot, then this will appeal to you. There is a segment of flight gamers that will really enjoy this type of flight game. I do not use the term flight sim because this game has none of the characteristics of a flight sim such as IL2 and Microsoft X. The graphics are good though.So for arcade like fun great, flight some no.

Was disappointed to see that the developer had put some real effort into the video graphics but at the same time did not put in JOYSTICK capability, just mouse and keyboard will work. If there is a way to use the joystick, I might rate it higher.

Highly enjoyable.Thank you.Brian
