A bit too retro for my tastes, but I'm glad to see there's people making flying games in this style. If you've ever played Hunt for the Red Baron (later renamed to Master of the Skies: The Red Ace), that's the type of game I would wish more of.
This time the game rendered the plane and ground details, so far so good, however, enemy planes did not, just propellers, killed two in dogfight mode, kind of a flex with invisible planes. The errors are not too bad, it does add an aged, incompatible, glitchy feel to a game thats supposed to be retro, does feel like a piece of vaporware. Like an old, incomplete demo of an unfinished game.
As a diagnostic, I just recently downloaded and ran the program, and it appears to be working fine from my end . I had also received some feedback from users in the past of the same variant who apparently were able to play the game without any issues.
I would note that the model in question applies fixed material settings as specified in Blender, rather than conventional textures. So, it's possible that this configuration may pose compatibility problems with certain system types which I am not aware of.
I don't know. I'll have to look into this. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I loved this game, it would be nice to have an endless mode and the option to release smoke in singleplayer to draw in the sky. Also the enemy planes suicide if you fight to near to the ground.
Thanks:) Yeah, unfortunately, I had only joined the game jam at the last minute, and thus only had about three days to work on the project. I'm slowly but surely working on a more complete version of the game, which not only implements additional aircraft types, improved AI, and clouds, but also a first-person cockpit perspective, and a campaign system, complete with mission objectives, waypoints, and a large map in which to play the game.
While I was kind of fooling around with the idea about continued development, I initially wasn't sure. But yes, I suppose I could pursue furthering this project, probably to the extent of implementing full on "campain/tour of duty" segment with mission objectives and navigation waypoints. Additionally, I'll probably wind up implementing a first-person "cockpit" perspective, with four-selectable viewpoints.

It's good and charming. Really scrathces that niche itch.
Thank you:)

OK, that's weird. The Nieuports were already utilizing textures, so that shouldn't have been a problem.
Perhaps the issue is with the shaders.
I've just uploaded another update labeled: pfalz 1_12.zip which replaces the standard Vertex shader with the Mobile equivalent.
The original VertexLit was exclusive to Unity version 4 so it's possible it's no longer compatible with later system types or operating systems.
You can try this update. Hopefully it will work, but again, I'm not sure.
Bet, hold on
This one displayed everything, that's definitely fixed, planes displayed as expected and the environment rendered a bit better
OK, good.
Tried the game but the plane didn't render in, nor did the environment or enemy planes, is it one of the bugs you were listing?
Hmmm.... That's strange.

No issue, I'll keep watching the page for more updates
I've just implemented a little update which applies conventional textures rather than Blender-based materials to the plane in question.
The alternate download is labeled : pfalz 1_1.zip
This may rectify the compatibility issue that your computer is having, but I'm not certain.
Noiiiice, quick responses and updates, that's the kinda devs modern games need, is it for download?
Thanks:)
Yes, the update is available, it's the secondary download labeled pfalz 1_1.zip.
Like I said, I hope this works, but I'm not entirely sure.
Also, are you implying it's models without textures?
The model of the player's aircraft was originally rendered in Material settings in blender, which applies solid colors rather than texture maps.
I really need to make some time for all of your flying games. I like your aesthetic choice here.
Wow! Thanks:)

This was really cool. Are there any plans to continue development of this? I think other people would be into a spiritual sequel to Red Baron as well
Hey thanks:)

Thanks for the suggestion:)
Cheers!
So far? Fantastic work. Ace job. Loving this game.
Thanks, dude:)
Null prob.
