Release Date: September 2, 2005
The second part of the air simulator, in which we move to the times of the Second World War. The creators approached the subject in a rather interesting way, because they made it possible to participate in the action in the skin of the pilot or commander. In the game you will find a lot of real planes with faithful cockpits. The aviation adventure was divided into a campaign, scenarios and a multiplayer mode.
