57. In IL-2 itself there are a number of biplanes that are flyable.
The CR-42 vs. the Gladiator is my favorite, but there are other match ups. There is even a campaign add-on called Combat over Europe that includes a pseudo WWI campaign. Hopefully, by the end of the year we will have a true, dedicated biplane combat sim. It's being developed by a Russian team and will tentatively be called Knights of the Sky. You can read about it here: http://www.simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&... . And yes, RB3D was my first flight sim. For its day, there was nothing remotely like it. If it weren't for the issues involved in running it under XP with USB peripherals, I'd probably still be running it every now and then, particularly with the Full Canvas Jacket mod that Kessler made available within the last couple years.
