I honestly feel like a videogame about two pilots flying complete shitbox aircraft from 1910 and trying to shoot each other down with handheld guns could be really fun. Make it so that the planes are barely powerful enough to stay aloft, never quite trimmed right, and constantly get rotated by the propeller torque. You should have to constantly deal with the plane being shit to keep it in the air, so that any time you spend aiming or reloading your gun is time the plane is risking stalling or losing altitude that will be difficult to regain. Maybe you can choose between a pistol that leaves you with one hand to keep the stick on course and a shotgun that does not. Play up the knightly jousting vibes by letting everyone paint their planes bright colours and having a soundtrack like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56gPx67GVXE
