Knights Over Europe Shows Off Dawn Of Flight Combat

Thanks to SimHQ.com for their interview with the Knights Over Europe development team, quizzing them about the PC-based World War I flight combat title, helping enliven an underappreciated genre in time for a 2004 release. The title plans a complex and accurate 'Historic Mode', so that "...the focus of campaign play is on you and your career, so your goal will be score kills, win medals, get promotions and transfers to hot squadrons, and gain international fame and glory." Intriguing features such as "the ability to 'hot seat' into crew positions during a flight" are promised for both single and multiplayer gameplay, and the interview also shrewdly points out that "...the outcome of the war is secondary. The most famous ace of WWI was Manfred Von Richthofen, and people don't care that his side lost the war."
