Are there any good WWI flight sims?

Seems that WWI is badly underrepresented in the world of video games, yet saw some of the most intense and varied combat of any conflict. Does anyone know of any decent WWI based games, particularly flight sims?

There is a conversion for some of the MS CFS series called Over Flanders Fields, I believe. I've heard good things about it.

I think there is something called Rise of Flight being worked on as well. I think this is an independent game (not a conversion/mod). Not sure how far along it is either.

Then there is the Thirdwire game First Eagles. I have been interested in that one, but haven't ponied up the cash for it. But, I have a couple other Thirdwire games in the Strike Fighters/Wings Over ____ series, with '60s and '70s jets which I enjoy. All are easily moddable.

These are all for PC, I don't know of anything for consoles that is WWI specific.

Rise of Flight is out for PC, and they've got a three day demo, that I tried out not long ago. Overall, the flight model is good, but it doesn't seem to have quick action missions, or a very good campaign, which is a fairly big let-down for me.

You also have to buy the individual planes you want to fly, beyond the Spad 13 and the Fokker DVII that are included out of the box, but that don't really bother me if the planes are well made. Overall it is a wait-and-see for me, but your milage may vary.

Cheers guys, checked out Over Flanders Fields on YouTube and it looks great, guess I'll have to buy a PC

Sorry, but not much for the cosoles out there. There was one for the original xbox that was horrid, don't remember the name, and Red Baron Arcade from the Playstation store, and that's it. Red Baron is ok, but like its name says, Arcade.

Warbirds III has the option to play WWI battles. It's free if you only play offline.
