Canvas Knights - Casual WWI Flight Sim?

[Gusington]

Another WWI flight sim...just stumbled upon this  :D:

Anyone have any experience with it?

Haven't tried it...but I doubt anything will beat Wings Over Flanders Field V2.

 I tried the demo. It reminds me of the Third Wire WWI game.

They do add a lot of new planes to the set and many of these are ones that you never see in the bigger WWI games.

Is there someplace to see screenshots, descriptions of campaigns and gameplay, etc.? The site seems to be just forums/threads.

^Thanks! Do you own it?

[Grim.Reaper]

Nope, didn't even know about it until you posted the info:)

Hmm...I wish the site had more detail available without digging around.

They do have a demo....I downloaded it and tried it.  Didn't really hold my attention, controls seemed a little jumpy to me.  To be honest, they are asking $30 for it and can't see how that makes sense to me, especially if WOFF only costs $45 and is much more robust.  This game does not appear to have any kind of campaigns right now, just single missions.  It does have something unique which is the ability to play some of the ground units, at least that is what is implied.

Again, didn't put enough time into it, but usually if something doesn't grab me right away, its a good sign for me to walk away for now:)

It also looks like it came straight from the year 2000. 

I'm not seeing anything that will outclass the two I currently own in any way.

You can drive tanks.

Painfully slow WWI tanks in an antiquated sim?  No thanks.

Upon further review maybe there's a reason why I haven't heard of this until now.

I think that game started out on the IL2:FB engine and then went off in another direction.  I remember it being a couple IL2 modders who wanted to build a WW1 mod.

btw, WOFF is $90 isn't it...$45 for the original version and another $45 for the updated version.  That is on top of needing CFS3.  I actually don't think the plane models in CK look that much worse than WOFF.  But WOFF's environment looks a heck of a lot better.  Of course, that is just form looking at CK's videos.

Canvas Knights looks like it uses the same engine as 'Vehicle Simulator' (related to the earlier 'Virtual Sailor' with added flight model). Vehicle Simulator is also $30, and lets you build other stuff as well, such as ships.
