Graphically, Flying Corps is topnotch. Every element, from the colorful aircraft fuselages to the rolling French countryside below, is texture-mapped to achieve the highest realism. And when you run the game under DOS, the frame rate is more than satisfactory.
Though Empire Interactive took the time to painstakingly outline the specs for each plane, because of the nature of the flight-models you're dealing with, this game has more of an arcade feel than most sims out there. But when it comes down to it, the simplicity is what makes Flying Corps so fun. There's nothing like the feeling of performing a daredevil roll to escape a trailing attacker only to swing around and begin taking his wings off. It's that kind of absorbing action that makes Flying Corps a satisfying gaming experience. If you enjoy the simplicity of WWI flight-sims such as Red Baron, you will certainly find Flying Corps satisfying - every stomach-turning, death-defying minute of it.
