World War I PC Combat Flight Simulator from the Flyboys Movie
Lands for Christmas With Three Games in One!
FLYBOYS Squadron, the
World War I combat flight simulator based upon the MGM movie
Flyboys, will be available for $29.95, November 16th. The FLYBOYS
Squadron retail package will also include one month of free online
massively multiplayer gaming with hundreds of other players from
around the world. Also included in the retail package are two free
bonus award-winning massively multiplayer games, WarBirds and
Armored Assault, a $50 value.
"FLYBOYS Squadron is an ideal game for people who enjoy the
challenge of flying and the strategy of dogfighting," said retired
USAF pilot and CEO of iEntertainment, J.W. 'Wild Bill' Stealey, who
has over 4,000 U.S. Air Force military flying hours. “Having
taught more than 200 Air Force Lieutenants how to fly in the
military, I think we can really teach players how to fly while they
are having fun and learning to dogfight with FLYBOYS
Squadron.”
“With its E (Everybody) rating, FLYBOYS Squadron is a game
that kids, dads, moms, and grandparents can play together either at
the same computer or networked together over the Internet on
multiple computers even if separated by thousands of miles,"
Stealey added. "They can enjoy the experience and challenge of
flying paired with the adrenaline of surviving WWI dogfights."
Inspired by the true story of the legendary Lafayette
Escadrille, the first American fighter pilots, the Flyboys movie
featured some of the world's top acrobatics pilots. The aerial
combat flying maneuvers, or dogfighting techniques and sequences
lauded in the movie are reenacted in this faithful PC game.
FLYBOYS Squadron combines skills building and strategy, with the
thrill of flying and the pressure of relentless combat. Players
encounter a wide range aircraft such as the Nieuport 17 biplane
modeled after authentic WWI fighter planes from the Flyboys movie.
Game missions mirror the movie's action, as flyers ascend and fight
over real terrains in Europe, modeled and mapped from real
satellite data. From fight engagements, to bomber escort missions,
to shooting down a Zeppelin, the game provides hours of battle
without the blood of many of today's hyper-violent games. FLYBOYS
Squadron tests players' abilities to take off and land safely,
learn evasive and attack maneuvers and manage resources such as
fuel and ammunition while achieving increasingly challenging
mission objectives. FLYBOYS Squadron keeps the tension of battle
high, but eliminates the hassle of too much flight simulator
activity.
The single player flight simulation and dogfighting game
includes 12 missions with four different skill levels, more than 25
Instant Action missions that are different every time they are
played, 3 secret missions, and the ability for players to fly in
any one of 10 different terrains with more than 100 different
planes and vehicles. iEntertainment will also provide continuous
free updates and new missions to the retail game over the next
year, including new missions.
Retail purchasers also get as a bonus; the two famous massively
multiplayer games, WarBirds 2006 (World War II flying) and Armored
Assault, (World War II tank game) which allow players to play
offline and online with World War II airplanes and tanks. Retail
purchasers of FLYBOYS Squadron will automatically gain free access
to one month of unlimited play at the MMOG site, www.TotalSims.com,
featuring FLYBOYS Squadron, WarBirds 2006, a World War II Flight
Simulator, and a World War II Tank simulator, Armored Assault.
