This classic combat flight simulator from
1998 has long outlived the original developers thanks to an ever
expanding community of dedicated pilots and game modders... it
just keeps getting better and better !
UPDATE November 2008 - European Air War v 1.28 patch
A new patch EAW 1.28 has been released that greatly improves the flight models, graphics and screen resolution of the original EAW game - it is stunning to play! I particularly love the new Spitfire engine sounds, tracer and cannon smoke trails and bits of aircraft flying off when a good hit is scored.
Download the 40mb EAW1.28 patch, and install into your existing EAW directory (I suggest that you begin with a FRESH installation of EAW without any previous patches applied).
Screencaptures and video of the new version coming to this page shortly.
Tired of unrealistic spins, stalls and 'too easy' flight models? Then give the latest incarnation of
European Air War a go... it will run on older machines,
yet offers realistic flight dynamics including spins, stalls and
buffeting. The real immersive experience begins when you team
up with other online pilots and communicate using voice chat clients
such as Teamspeak2 to engage opposing real forces. Large
online air wars between pre-organized virtual Axis and Allied
squadrons still occur daily and the community has begun growing again thanks to broadband speends and the new v1.28 patch! (Oct 2008)
