Tournament Sites

 

Flanders in Flames -  If you want to fly Multi player (MMP) in your favorite torch rag with arguably the best and most historically accurate alternate flight model (AFM),  this is where you do it.  Pilots who fly in this tournament and on the FiF practice servers typically adhere to the highest standards in sportsmanship and chivalry in the air.  It is rare that pilots here will engage in 2 on 1 and there is rarely any vulching.   With the AFM you really learn to fly as a pilot did.  During the tournaments you can only communicate with planes within visual range, just like during the war.  Just as really happened in the real war, more pilots are killed by pilot error than bullets.  You will probably lose more planes by snapping your wings off than by being shot down - just like really happened!

 

War Forces - Bombing smorgasbord which takes place over several weeks and different maps!  After flying this tournament, you'll know how to bomb for sure.

 

Red Baron World League - Popular team event.
