First Eagles has had fair success in the PC games market, although its impact has a lot to do with the game having an 'open architecture' allowing others to modify and improve aspects of it and add new planes, terrain, weapons etc.

This pack also includes new campaigns set over the Cambrai sector of France.

In February 2010, First Eagles 2 was released, following the trend of upgrading to be compatible with Vista and Windows 7.

Every encounter in World War I aerial combat is a close range turning dogfight that can have many outcomes including the planes colliding, spinning out of control, crashing into the ground, being hit by anti aircraft artillery, or being shot down or killed, depending on the game skill level set and the players skill level.

A set of names are generated to be included on the squadron roster and they are allocated varying skill levels (ranks).
