About This Game

Flying Colours is a multiplayer arena-based PVP flight combat simulator for VR. Take to the skies in the iconic Sopwith Camel (and seaplane variant), Fokker Triplane or Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 seaplane and do battle around a fictional island group. Use your flying skills, teamwork and combat strategy to rule the skies and dominate the opposition.

This game is in Early Access and is being constantly improved. Please view the Early Access information for more details.

The game features a flight engine with realistic aerodynamic modelling and damage system that changes how the aircraft is controlled with every hit. Controlled with an Xbox, or compatible dual analogue controller, or virtual controls you will achieve real-life manoeuvres, stunts and soon master taxying, take-off, landing a vintage taildragger aircraft or handling a seaplane.

Fuel strategy can be the difference between air superiority and finding yourself on the back foot. Take off quickly, with less fuel but a lighter and better performing aeroplane for quick sorties, or fuel for longer, suffer a performance decrease due to the weight but stay aloft for longer patrols. Land anywhere "off-piste" and receive a jerrycan of fuel to get you safely home, or just to continue ruling the skies for a little longer.

Flying Colours brings you exhilarating combat, smoke-trail filled skies, chaotic battles, hilarious in-flight mishaps, and a taste of real vintage air combat in two of the most recognisable fighter aircraft of the early twentieth century.

Why did we make this game?

Remember when we were young, we might have played with toy aeroplanes and models. Back then our bedrooms became the scenery as we re-enacted daring air battles and the amazing feats from those air aces. Flying Colours is the game that was made to bring back those memories. There are few rules, just a flight playground for you against others online. Fancy 7 vs 1? Go for it! Want to challenge each other to perform crazy stunts and explore the limitations of your aircraft? Absolutely!

We made the game we wanted to play. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Fun little game that is very early in its development. At the time of writing you can only play with your friends on steam as there is no match making so wait out if you don't have anyone to play with. I know one of the developers from this 2 man team and I'm looking forward to seeing what the game grows into, if you are expecting a fully fleshed out title then give this a miss and wait till it has more content but if you want to support small dev team on their first steps to making VR games then this is for you.

Lovely little game. Can play with steam friends or in public sessions. Not very popular at the time of writing as the game is pretty new, but this would be a good game to hang out with people in. Very simple game, but the simplicity is what makes it so great. Blue team and red team spawn on opposing airfields, kills and deaths are counted, and nothing else. The rounds never end, so you just jump in and play until you decide you're finished. I usually play this game just to fly around. The map has interesting features spread evenly, and it's fun to just fly around it. As an IRL pilot, I can say that the flight model is very good and accurate. The core concepts are all simulated very well.

‘Wood Brothers Flying Colours’ is supposed to be an online-only dogfighting game in which you get to pick team red or team blue and fight it out with another WW1 fighter plane. But in reality, there is no-one else to play against unless you get a friend to download it as well. Then there is the VERY basic graphics, the poor sound effects and the terrible gameplay to contend with. For some reason, the plane will just stop flying and drop out of the sky! The only thing I was thinking about when I was flying about shooting at nothing was where on earth my money had gone! This is not a game I can recommend right now, but maybe with a little more work and a much lower price, it will be worth a revisit.
