About Blue Max: Aces of the Great War

Blue Max: Aces of the Great War is a flight simulator set in World War I, featuring aircraft like the Fokker, Sopwith, and Spad. Its missions vary between aerial dogfights and attacks on ground-based objectives.

A distinctive option allows players to shift real-time combat into a turn-based format on a hexagonal grid, while a frozen 3D view of the action remains visible. The game supports two players simultaneously through a split-screen display, which can be used for either cooperative or competitive play, and offers multiple camera angles.
