Ilya Muromets

Post by Jim D Burns »

Found this today and almost pulled the trigger, anyone here play it yet? Definitely a unique new theater of operations for a flight sim and it covers the inception of modern combat air power. Brings back lots of fond memories of the old Red Baron game I played to death 20+ years ago, so I’ll probably get it just for nostalgia reasons. Just wanted to see if anyone had any comments on it first before I buy.

It was released very recently, so I’m sure there are probably bugs. I’d just like to know if there are any game breaking issues first before I buy.

It's from the same developers of Rise of Flight, so the flight model must be good.
But if you want to bring back the Red Baron fond memories, than go for Wings Over Flanders Fields instead.
It's only the western front, but the campaign and the immersion factor beats any other WWI Flight/Combat sim. :)

well it's free, so try it first, if you like, then buy the campaign addon, as it adds some more stuff, but the main engine is free for all
Since the project is going to unite the two fronts (Western and Eastern) we've decided to update the free-to-play version of the game on our website. Starting with December 18th the free version will include 3 aircraft (SPAD 13, Albatros D.Va and the Nieuport 17 produced by the Russian Dux plant), and Western and Eastern front with 3 seasonal maps. Players can fly in all modes of gameplay for an unlimited time with these three aircraft without limitations: try it, let your friends try it too - the more the merrier.

8.6gb download, so from the screenshots it does look very very nice tbh, photo realistic so if the flight engine is as good as it looks, it will play dream

Nice video showing game play. The guy doesn’t know what he’s doing yet so it’s a little frustrating but the visuals are really nice. I’ll be getting this for sure.
