While there is only so much you can learn about history from a flight simulator, one in particular, Rise of Flight, stands out from the crowd. The degree of historical accuracy in a flight simulator, for example, is normally a major selling point. Not all games play so fast and loose with history, of course. Revolutionary Paris might as well be the Mushroom Kingdom, while ancient Europe becomes a glorified chessboard. Watching the antics of the ostentatiously camouflaged heroes of the Assassin’s Creed series or marshalling the conveniently symmetrical armies in a Total War game you’d be forgiven for thinking that, as far as game development is concerned, the past is just another backdrop. Videogames do not generally do history very well.
