Aces of the Air

Aces of the Air is a 2002 mission based Flight simulator video game for the Playstation. The game has literally no plot, but the setting is a vaguely alternate WWII judging by the alternate names of familiar airplanes and the presence of an airship in the final level.

Gameplay

After choosing a plane (as well as a color scheme), the player then must complete a total of ten missions. Players had to complete every mission under thirty minutes and a visible timer was kept on the HUD. Player's planes could stall and if the plane took too much damage, the damage would appear on the plane as a pillar of smoke as opposed to having a health meter.

Planes

Many of the planes were unavailable to the player until certain missions were completed including the enemy planes.

  • Molder II (Modeled after a P-38 Lightning)
  • Axel (Modeled after a P-40 Warhawk)
  • Viper
  • Camry (Modeled after a Kyūshū J7W Shinden)

Opponent Planes

  • Othello
  • Dreizack (Modeled after a Dornier Do 335)
