For true historical accuracy, your best bet is coops.
In a true historical mission most of the pilots have to be newbies, that wont happen as the pilots
online mostly at least veteran if not ace.
So you can´t find a "true" historical server because the ai in coops is cheating.

Guts-n-Glory is a great server hosted by RaVen that is VERY well done. It's been expanded a bit to include content other than just WWI.

WoW (Winds of War) is hosted by the FA squad and is an excellent server as well with stats and TEamSpeak as well. Here's their forum link: http://favacw.dyndns.org/faforum/ind...d609862721255b

Get online. This sim truly shines when flown online.
I like all he said but the guts-nGlory..

The WOW server just needs to get some more people flying in it. " too bad spits was not hosted on this server "

#1 is Spits vs 109s they are very well balanced in the fighters and settings keep most of the kids away. " they just need a few 262 maps " like they did before to finish out the war.

True. We've been doing a lot of FS and taking up server time hosting.

Warclouds is ok if you don't mind playing the same plane-set all the time. Lots of skilled pilots.

Talking about ON LINE play

I never played on line as I had no ADSL
Now I have a capped contract
I would like to know a few things to see if I can at last try the online facilities.
Here goes:
1/ price
2/ traffic consumption (due to capped contract)
per hour if possible ... bytes in + bytes out as they are counted for the cap

That would allow me to decide if I can afford it.

Although the cheating spoken about disgust me.
That is only a game .Cheating is nothing to be proud of

Thank you all ... starting with Oleg......

Default Winds of war gets an A+A+ as far as servers go be sure!

I have been biting my tongue as to how many recommended a really bad server, and have overlooked a great server so here goes.

So true..Wind of War should be given an award for very high standards!!!


I was in there the other night. How refreshing.

Great pilots great maps, fantastic server settings, it's how all servers should be set up! Cheech< great map maker btw
IKYO ,Guse and all the guys that contribute to the server should be commended and noticed.

The server should be used. Its great!

They started to host Forgotten skies and lost the crowd for a bit but now they have the winds of war server running 24/7 so get back in there folks.



Maps are great plane sets are great.
The server is fast and strong and there is a stats page and forum.

In comparison Sv109 is not even in the same league.

Why so many recommend and fly in S v109 is beyond my comprehension .

After donating $ over the years
(with out a single thank you by the way)
to Sv109 I don't like what its become. An over rated laggy server.

I would not recommend it now.

The maps have to many objects that are just slapped down and not tested for smooth game play.
As a result the server has lots of problems in regard to game play.

Its just not a smooth server.
It is not my system either.
I run a very fast computer with gobs of ram Quad core and a kick butt video card along with a business class broadband connection. I find it still a poor server.

It seems that a rented server should be much smoother.
Its simply sub par.

I have found over many years its best to recommend to others only the best. Sending out the wrong word of mouth recommendation is a dis service to who you are recommending something to.
In real life it can come back and bite you in the Ass.

That said,
I suppose its a mater of standards, some like velvet Elvis posters too. To each their own.

A maps can be made with both an inversive object/objective based system as well as smooth game play.

It involves taking the time to test the maps carefully.

The winds of war guys test the maps out before they are put into the cycle for smooth game play. If their maps do not pass muster they are not used . no mater how cool they look.

Winds of War also keeps the game as it was meant to be played with out mods.
Therefor file integrity is protected.
This also leads to very smooth game play.

Like to use mods??
They also do offer a really well managed alternate server that allows for the proper use of mods Called.......WAR WINGS
Its very well policed and a shining example of how an official wrapped or bundled mod pack would be of benefit to the community.
They make sure that everyone who plays in that server has the SAME MODS installed. You must be trusted and registered to play on that server.
Now thats the correct way to deal with mods.
By keeping things uniform throughout.

spits V 109 on the other hand allows any and every mod in there and its a mess do to the file conflicts.
The server also cant handle the #'s that fly in there.
Its wile nilly and game play shows the end result of that kind of mismanagement.

Sorry to bash spits V 109 so much but after lots of $ into it over the years I am very disappointed it how it is run lately.

Why more don't fly wind of war is beyond me.. It provides a far better, smoother game play experience than the other server that the masses fly in.

Some of the best servers out there are unpopulated, its very sad.

Historia for example was fantastic but again fell by the wayside.
I just don't get it.

Just because lots fly in a server doesn't mean its a good server.
Don't follow the heard.
Raise your standards and treat yourself to a Quality server.

There is a better alternative.

Winds of war gets an A+A+ as far as servers go be sure!
