Hi fellow flyers,
The latest patch for Rise of Flight makes the base game free. So you can play online with the Spad XIII and Albatross Va.
I been playing it all weekend 8)
-
Hmm, Got a link to the site? I've never looked at Rise of Flight but it may be worth a try :) Thanks for the info!

The Albatross is a beauty to fly. I can't see a damn thing from the Spad cockpit though. I think WWI pilots may have detected the enemy by smell. ;)
-
This really is a must have! It runs great on high, on my medium spec comp (everything on high). This is like what CloD should have been on release. It really is THAT beautiful. Only this runs like a train!
The demo gives you two planes to fly, and you can buy the planes you really want to fly for a couple of bucks. Ive bought the two twinseater light bombers for 13 euro's, and they are really nice.
Online play works like a charm, andoffline play is great with the carreer mode.
GET IT ! !
;)

Here is the link--

Oh and with the demo, since you basically have the whole game, you can jump in all the gunner positions online!

Excellent, Thanks guys :)

Apparently incompatible with Vista SP2; bugger! >:(
-
Installed, tested with windows 7 64 bits , works quite fine, and looks interesting, By the way, can somebody tell me how to delete all those gauges on the screen?
-
wow i already played the demo and it worked quite well and it was fun to play with the physics there :D
downloading now (again) :)
-
can somebody tell me how to delete all those gauges on the screen?
I recomend you select "Ace" in difficulty, and in flight right click anywhere on the screen and deactivate the gauges ("G" key or click in the button at top of the screen).
This simulator is the best i've ever seen of the WWI, it's incredible what they have done with the new career mode.

8) Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, where when, why? I missed that Update.
Yeah, those Pits are sth. special, I could only score in that Pfalz D12 for real, seems like this suits me best. With the other planes I have probs, from sighting, flying or scoring kills. But hey, it's really a killer Sim.
Thanks for the reminder
What? Incompatible? Badmuthafunka please unlock your Vista, I have SP2 running too, no prob.
-
I'm trying to make sense of the RoF pricing policy. Is there actually any point in buying the demo upgrade at all? If I buy the Iron Cross edition, I get 7 more aircraft for $50, whereas I can buy them all individually, and get an extra one (to get the 35% discount for 8 ) for $40. Or am I missing something? Do you get any other new content now, if you upgrade form the demo to the Iron Cross edition?
Edit:
Looking at their forum, it seems that the 35% discount is a typo, and it should be 30% (http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=20131 (http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=20131)). It still seems to work out cheaper though. I'll ask on the RoF forum, to see if I can get clarification.
-
Nice sim, good scenery and effects but the FM's are hard work, these things really do fly like bricks ...
They took a bit of time getting some of the problems sorted out but it is the best WW1 sim out there for now.
-
NO one shot kills in these puppies . :)

Hi Knochenlutscher, :)
The system requirements on the download page specify vista SP1. As it is, if this is just a play once only version, I think I'll give it a miss.

If I understand it right you also get acces to the mission builder.
-
The Mission Editor seems to be supplied (it is a separate application, in the bin_editor folder). I've not actually done anything beyond check that it runs though.
I can't seem to register on the RoF forum, so I haven't been able to clarify the pricing situation yet.
-
I have really been having so much fun with this online multiplayer. There is always someone to fly with and hopefully now the two planes are free even more players. I even bought a Fokker DVIIF so I can dive from outta the sun on all the Noobs in Spads I expect will be flying online ;)
Wow Abigor ! you really got some nice medals there. And it seems to impress the girls too.
-
I can only access the training campaign. Also, I bought the Eindecker but it still says I'm playing the demo? I thought when you bought a plane it upgraded you to the full version?
-
No u got to buy the game. I`ve had this game for a year now, got all the planes. And it has worked flawlessly all this time despite earlyer warings in this forum. The communety in multiplayer is quite nice . Serious simmer`s they are. Higly recomended. The offline campaign is not that good, I can not realy connect with the campaigns , the quick missions are as great as it get. The comunety in skinning and missionmakers are quite skilled. This game does not cost to much if you buy the planes one at the time as I have
-
Yes, I've had ROF for a year now and I can really recommend it! 8)
(it's everything for WW1 that we once hoped that ClOD would be for WW2.)
-
Thaks for the advice, Abigor!
-
And if you think the planes are too expensive, just wait a bit as there sometimes are sales. A while ago you could buy all the fighters for 2 or 3 bucks each.

Exactly that is how I got mine
Good posting Fusek

Any idea when they run these sales?

Near big holidays I think. The last was around easter.

Well good to know, I thought what the heck, 50€ the Iron cross Edition I bought, then 100€ for the stuff I would need?!
Sale, definitely a reason to do then. Don't tell Mrs. Knoch.
-
I've just bought 9 new planes (the 'free demo' marketing works well ;) ), and have had an entertaining few hours
testing breaking them in novel ways. Tomorrow, I am going to try to find out how you turn left in a Fokker Dr 1 (it goes in three directions - ahead, right turn, and sideways! ??? )
-
Hadn't checked ROF for awhile - didn't realize the career mode had come out - updating now - thanx :)
-
Need.new.vid.card.
*cries*
-
Well it is nice to fly, but yet it is the sim I fly second to IL2 . ROF can with its gamefysic`s and smooth nice envirement really get somwhere. I just do not connect with it the same as I do with IL2
-
Thanks for the links guys, much appreciated. 8)
I've managed to get it running and have played some of the training missions. ;)
Still fumbling my way around the controls set up, not as easy to set up as IL-2, but I'm getting there. :-[
Will give it a good coat of looking at over the weekend when I have the time.
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D
-
I will need a new graphics card,for sure! But what a blast!
I have not yet been able to land my plane.Busted it every time.
Any hints,Guys?
-
Just don't forget to pull out your landing gear, be sure buddy ;) ;) ;)
-
Naw....I'm serious!
-
The sensitive rudder is my worst enemy while landing. That and bended wings :D
-
Tater- Line up on the Field,land into the wind when you can,
cut the throttle back and let it glide in. Once the wheels touch down cut throttle all the way.
You should roll to a stop.
-
I like landing, the blip switch on rotary engines is good fun.
-
Landing? I rarely last that long... :D
Yes, those rotary engines are awkward - some have no throttle at all, and you have to be careful not to let the revs drop too much with the blip switch - the engine may fail to restart. The ones with inline engines are definitely easier to land (apart from the spad - visibility is very poor)
I've finally managed to persuade the Fokker Dr 1 to turn left: you give a bootfull of left rudder, then move the joystick in whatever directions seem least likely to make you fall out of the sky! I'm sure that I was actually pushing the stick forward at one point, even while performing a tight positive-G turn.... It is much easier to dogfight in right turns, but 'd imagine any sensible opponent in a turning fight is going to go left.

Thanks,Gunny! I have only flown the supernoob mission so far but I'll keep on trying to get that beastie to land since you say it can be done!
Here's Mud In Your Eye!

Aaagh, my laptop outdoes the Vista in every way and even with the RoF settings at lowest it is still too much(which I do a lot and don't have problems much). Gonna play anyway :P
-
OK, I've downloaded it. But as a total Torrent virgin, I ain't got a clue which thingy to download to open the thing! Can anyone recommend a program to use that won't screw with my computer or bombard me with adverts and the like?

uTorrent, google it and it is the first result.
-
Cheers Arkbird :)
The first google result shows as a fake site in my Norton suite. So I went here: http://www.utorrent.com/downloads.
1. Is this one OK?
2. Once I've sorted the game out, is it playable offline?

2. Yes

Thanks once again Arkbird. :)
Edit: Just discovered that the torrent download connects me to lots of other unidentified, untrusted computers. Perhaps stupidly, I thought it would only connect me with the ROF site. Since I can't afford to replace an infected system, I'll steer clear. Oh well, you live and learn.

Thats the way how a torrent works. Instead of getting the whole file from a set server, you download from people that have the complete file (called seeders) and people that are currently downloading (leechers). This means the more people are downloading, they are also uploading, which greatly enhances speed.
-
Yeah, I realise that now Fusek. I just can't bring myself to trust it.
-
Fair enough, but if you download the torrent from the official website you can be pretty damn sure it isnt corrupted ;)
-
Airspeed is all that matters, the funnyest plane to fly is the Gotha when you finally manage to get it off the ground it is a real challange just to keeep it flying managing the radiators and throttle at the same time you must get that damn thing to climb without making it go to the left into an spiral stall that you can not recover from. You will find yourself fighting this plane for half an hour to get altitude just for loosing it in a stall. And reading about it , shows how historical correct it is. That plane was thrown in to air just because of a great need. Many accsidents did happend

@Badmuthafunker
Go to http://games.on.net/file/42941/Rise_of_Flight_Unlimited_Demo_v1.019 for a static download
-
Yeah, I realise that now Fusek. I just can't bring myself to trust it.
As Fusek said, it is an official torrent, so it's highly unlikely that anything is wrong with it. I downloaded it last night and was playing for awhile, I had no problems at all. Besides, you can always check the torrent's hash code and verify the code with the source. If the numbers match, the torrent hasn't been changed, corrupted, or had viruses attached.

Thanks Friction, I think I'll learn a bit more about torrents first. It's the idea of being connected to numerous, unknown computers that bothers me.
Arkbird, brilliant mate, thanks. Sadly my mobile dongle's running really slowly at the moment; I'm looking at 6-10 hours just for 3 odd gigs.
P.S. The dongle's rented from 3. Shit product, shit service!
-
I'm looking at 6-10 hours just for 3 odd gigs.
My time was the same before and with the torrent. I switched to torrent because my downloader seems to freeze with large downloads.
-
Hey they might split it for me if I asked nicely! ;D
-
Wow... 6 - 10 hours? With the torrent, I got the whole thing in about the time it takes to smoke a cig. :D You should definately look into the torrent. While there are alot of suspicious and nasty things transmitted through them, as long as you're downloading a legit and legal file from a legit and legal site, you won't have any problems. It's when you start downloading other shady stuff (pirated wares, porn, movies etc...) that you may encounter problems if you aren't carefull.

@SAS~Friction
We pay for 8mb internet download, test for 1.3mb, and get 120-200kbs internet. But it is very fast, so I don't mind.
-
Badmotherfunker...Rof torrent from 777 is safe. Its the movies,porn and pirate software stuff that will eat your hard drive and bank account :D.
-
oh I forgot, been flying this since friday night loved it so much I went ahead and upgraded to a full game. now I have to grab a few bombers..any one got a used gotha with low hours and less holes for sale? :P
-
Hi Logan,
I tried the torrent again, but realised that due to seeding, it was costing me twice the data. I'm limited to 15Gb per month, and I don't have enough left to complete the download. I'll wait til next week, when my new allowance clicks in, then I'll have another bash at the static download.
-

I have 20 Gotha's, all with 'slight' damage to the right wing :D Man that baby is hard to take off!
-
:D Im finding that out too. Tough to get in the air!
-
Try this take off procedure (http://www.youtube.com/user/Requiem10NS#p/u/4/pbyeTdw33Xc), it helps me a lot to get this thing on the air!
-
...Im amazed at this little gem of a game. I thought "what the hell" and grabbed the demo. While Im only mucking about and havent really cranked the realism or bothered delving into it, just the muck around i've had is amazing, think I'm gonna splurge later down the track for some planes.
-
Here are a couple of good servers for anyone just beginning RoF and want knowledgable people to help them. And yes, I can testify that they are patient. Or else I wouldn't be flying there.
NEW WINGS Basic Training Server run by ElecticRazor and Fun with the Hun in the Sun over Verdun run by Josh Echo. Both share a TeamSpeak 3 comm if you'd like to talk with them. It helps when they're trying to help you -------> 70.32.46.163:10061

okay, so i downloaded the torrent - amazingly, it only took a few days, as opposed to the several weeks eta i've had with other torrents.
i've set it up and it plays great on my slowly aging machine! ;D
i have one little frustration that i hope someone could help me with in setting it up.
i'm a bit lazy to go and join another forum for help, but if so advised, i will... ;)
the problem is with the 'mouse-look' view from the cockpit.
i cannot seem to move my view around in-cockpit with the mouse - it tries to move around as i ask, but keeps moving straight back to straight forward view.
in outside views, it's fine, so it's not a problem with the mouse, but i thinnk maybe a setting somewhere.
i've tried all the different F9 view options, but no effect. looked in the control options, but found nothing so far... :(
is there any other settings i should be looking at to help with this issue? anyone know?
thanks in advance for any help... ;)
-
Installed, tested with windows 7 64 bits , works quite fine, and looks interesting, By the way, can somebody tell me how to delete all those gauges on the screen?
Sorry, didn't see this Topic before...been engrossed with ROF for the last year, and pop in here to keep abreast of my Original Addiction, so don't normally come into the Lounge.
Right Ctrl/i activates/deactivates the pop-up instruments.
Cheers

-
Right Cntrl to open menu, then press 'G' for gauges. I is to toggle Icons.
-
Malone, I use Track IR but just a guess..do you have to assign the mouse axis x,y and z to look around? I know it comes preset to the number keys.
-
Right Cntrl to open menu, then press 'G' for gauges. I is to toggle Icons.
True that I toggles Icons.
But in the full game ROF Iron Cross Edition, patched to1.019, if you go into Options-->Controls-->Service--> third item down says:-
Simple Gauges = RControl+i
Icons = i
These are greyed out, meaning we cannot change them as other items may be.
Therefore if Fusek has found other settings, it may be that the Demo is using original control settings. Patch 1.019 changed many things, and I think the Bomber patches did as well.
(PS. I use RControl+i to toggle my Simple Gauge display all the time).
Cheers

Logan, thanks for the reply - i don't have my headtracking set up for roF yet, but as it is at the moment, yes, i can use the num pad keys to look around.
my main concern is that, even using these keys, the view immediately resets itself to forward if i let go of the key. i'd like my pan around view to stay panned, in other words, if i look left, i'd like it to stay looking left if i let go of the key.
so far, none of the options i've tried seem to allow me to do this. everything just keeps making my view stay straight forward.
-
The F9 Key in ROF cycles through 4 viewing options;
- Pan
- Addictive Snap
- Fixed Snap
- Centered Snap
The pan view should stay were you position it. I use the hat switch
Cheers
-
well, that's my problem there....i've tried every setting of the F9 key, but i see no difference at all! the view is never freely pannable, and just keeps reverting to straight ahead.
i've gone ahead and asked for help on the rof forums, but so far nothing has helped.
f9 seems to make no difference, if i use the mouse to try and look around, it's almost as if the view is 'locked' forward, and the view just shakes about a bit, but ends up looking straight ahead....
if i use the numpad keys to look around, it works, but reverts immediately back to the front if i leave the key.
all i want to do is to be able to look around freely, and so far everything i've tried has had no effect. oh well, i'll keep trying.... :P
-
I feel a bit reluctant to ask this Malone, but have you gone to "Camera" tab on the Rise of Flight Game Launcher? The last option box at the bottom gives the 4 choices for Cockpit view default before starting the game. It might have changed from "pan view" for some reason.
Cheers
ClipWing
-
thanks for the reply, ClipWing....yes, that's one of the first places i looked at changing settings, and it's also where i see what i suspect to the/a problem....
at the top of the 'camera' page is a setting for cockpit/speed....with an option for pan or snap view.
i guess what i'm after is the pan view, but if i change it to pan view and start the game, still no go.
if i then go back to the camera settings page, it always seems to default back to 'snap view', as if it's not accepting the 'pan' option....i don't have any problems like this with any other settings....
just on this page, the first setting as i mentioned, and then further down the page is another option for 'cockpit view default mode', with 4 different options. i change that to 'pan view' and it stays on that setting, although no pan is available ingame.
the first setting, every time i reopen the setting page, is always back to 'snap mode', so i think that's a problem there....is there any file in the game folder that can be manually edited to change this setting?
-
btw, new version 1.020 has just been released, adding some more goodies and improvements. 8)
hoo boy, just finished one big download, now have to do another...or is there a smaller update patch available? hmm... ;D
-
Hi Gerhard, do you perhaps have a link to that smaller update?
all i seem to find is a link to a 3.7 GB torrent.... :P
btw, guys, i've registered over at the ROF site as big bootay, lol, so if anyone sees this lost little noobie floating around there, say hi. ;D
i've asked this problem there, so hopefully someone'll help me out soon enough...
thanks for the help so far, chaps! 8)
edit: never mind, Gerhard, i finally noticed the update button on the game launcher, so i am updating it that way... :D
-

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. But since I can't even get as far as registering the game, I'm stuffed. I've been farting around with it today for 3 odd hours to no avail. Has anyone else had this problem?
-
no clue, sorry, mate - have you tried to join the ROF forum?
they should be able to give you some help.....

Try posting the problem in this forum (http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewforum.php?f=128&sid=bf524be4cb08076c21897df642bb2d68). Good luck ;)
-
Thanks each :)
I've read several posts on the ROF forum from people with the same problem. Nobody's come up with a solution. My guess is that the game won't run on integrated chipsets (I still can't afford a new graphics card, after mine fried ages ago). I just wish that the makers would clearly state this (as many do) in the system requirements! It would've saved me from wasting around 4 of my 15Gb monthly allowance on the first day of the month! >:( Il-2 works fine, of course (albeit without perfect settings).
Oh well :(
Cheers guys.
-
This sim could quite easily become more of an addiction than IL-2. ???
Those aircraft and skins are gorgeous aren't they. ;)
Escort mission, look after this.

Strangely the mission goal has you leave it to carry on its own way. ::)

Just take a look at the detail, awesome eh.
The skin work is also superb, look at the effect. 8)

Finally managed to get the controls set up as I want, it was a sruggle though :(.
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

Now that's just rubbing it in! ;D

Sorry Badmuthafunker, just been playing and felt the need, you know to post screens. ;)
Hope you sort out your problems, this thing really is marvellous.
Just bought a Fokker VII and feel the need to purchase the forthcoming Bristol Fighter. ::)

It's an awkward little Fokker, but even my landings are usually better than that. ;)

I D/L'd and installed, but it is just as laggy for me as the original demo. even with most settings set to low.

Grant,are you running on 64bit? There are more people that have the same problems, but I believe there is a fix on the RoF forums.

Reading through the thread, I think I might have to get this once I've built my 'Altered Beast'; my new custom rig/pc.

Yeah, I'm running 64bit. I'll have to take a look.

Okay, I went to the RoF website forums and here is what I found about my lagg (stutter) problem.
Q: I’m running Windows 7 and I'm experiencing a lot of stuttering (graphics / sound / input)!
A: We are sorry about that but it is not our fault. Win7 have new CPU-thread management politics which is causing much problems for high-loaded multi-thread applications (like RoF) on 2-core systems. We have some attempts to contact with Microsoft - it was useless. So unfortunally we can't do anything here.
4-core systems have no such problems with Win7.

Grant, I've found this on RoF forum: http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=300&t=16756&hilit=affinity (http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=300&t=16756&hilit=affinity). The tool "rof_boost" (at the end of the first post) seems to improve the fps a bit. I've just tried it with Affinity core set to 1 and I think it works fine, but I've only made a very quick test.
-
I'll give it a shot.

Thought I'd bump this thread as Rise of Flight has a sale on until 17th of August.
If you haven't already you ow it to yourself to fly Fokker Dr.1 - its Flight Model needs to e experienced by everybody who likes prop aviation. And at £1.80 per plane, there is no reason why you should not try the famous Sopwith Camel as well.

Thanks for the info Borsh, better dig out my Master Card eh. ;)
Bought the handley page 0/400 a few weeks ago, about £9 Sterling. Gorgeous model.
Took a night flight, not so good, left AAA on. :( came a croper. ::)

if you have an engine fire, then dive to high speed, then slip until the flames are extinguished.Also, I am loving the career mode, don't know if anyone is trying it, but if you haven't, do it! I am flying as a DH-2 pilot in No. 29 squadron, and writing my pilots journal entries for each day, if anyone is intrested reading.

Thanks very much for the tutorial norm, trouble is I was a little too low for that, couldn't get up to a high enough speed to blow out the flames. :'( Must learn to fly higher and out of the way of flak. ;)
Bye the way, I can't get into the gunner positions even though I use the assigned keys, is this a strictly on-line thing or is my install screwed somehow.
Only fly off-line.
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D
-
That's interesting, my career mode only offers me 3 sqns, a french one and 2 german ones, throughout the whole of the period you can choose from. A bug, maybe?
-
really? what aircraft do you own? If you have only the base games spad and albatross, that would sort of make sence, but there should be more. You have moved the date slider around, yes?
also, bug, you should be able to switch positions in single player, it works for me.

norm, I've all aircraft and yes I've moved the date slider around. There are 3 sqn's available, that's all.
Still, it's no major big deal, I'm holding out for a FE2b & d, then I can fly from 1916 and eventually upgrade to a brisfit squadron. I'm also holding out for a computer that can actually play RoF decently, which is why I haven't bothered looking into why I'm fairly sure my campaign's not working right.
-
Today is the last day of £1.80 per plane! ;)
I'm thinking hard if I need another one (SE.Va?), but I now tend to believe that IL2 has lost me finally- its the FM in RoF you see! It is so much more fun just to practice slip-turns along the ground in Dr.1 , pull cuban 8s or hammerheads, to feel the excellent force feedback and to hear the wind and the spinning-up-just-unblipped engine in a Camel, to rev up the engine in a desperate attempt to correct ground looping after touching down... :) Sorry Ultra pack :(
Trees and towns do not pop up...
And the combat itself- I really started to love this game not after I bought more of agile planes, but after I learnt how to kill ace AI contemporary planes in a fast climbing SPAD13. There is less time to plan and think compared to Il2, and attacking from height advantage does not make you feel secure and care free like it does in Il2. YOu're always thinking angles, angles, angles.
As much as I was reluctant to fly biplanes with no canons (but no armor either remember!), and I resisted for all this time since it went free, but now RoF's Flight and Damage Models have got me completely. The rubber bands in IL2 FM and the cotton wool in CloD FM are just too much to bear now:)
Just wish SAS mods and community would switch to RoF :)
Oh, and it looks awesome on my Core2Duo 2.66 and 2gb Ram
-
Well I bought all the planes except the heavies.
Its a great game, but its still no IL2.
Regardless lots of fun.
-
Bought the "ace-maker" (lets hope it makes me into one :D )Se.Va and also the FokkerD7F - looking forward to them hugely :)
I think the only way where RoF is inferior to IL2 is the setting - WW1<WW2 ;) Everything else - quality beats quantity imho, plus campaign is EPIC in RoF now.
As for WW1, it is COMPLETLY different skill set to WW2 air combat. But, il2 tactics do not work, not to worry- WW1 tactics are even more close and personal and great fun to learn :) Requiem10NS guides on youtube are terrific!
Its nice to know that online has zero cheaters too :)

Yes, sort of missed that plane-sale :)..but after checking it again, it indeed looks to be very comprehensive. Having quite a hard time on realistic settings but with auto mixture etc. to reach the same engine power than my autopilot. :D
I think the Albatros pilot's sight is quite cool.
Man, and those water/tree animations.

-
Albatross Dva is my favorite.
I did the BFS and PGS over at Joint ops, and we used the SPAD and Fokker DVII.
I have to say that going from either of those to a DVa was such a relief! Neither of those others can roll or turn worth damn!
I was tearing up the adversaries in their Fokkers and SPAD's in my humble DVa!
Right now Ive got a whole bunch of aircraft to experiment with. I bought everything but the heavies during the sale, so Ive got some inputs to tune for sure! :D
-
Sounds cool. Maybe after the release of our next FreeFalcon project I may get deeper into this.
ATM I should be testing instead flying other sims hehe.. :-[
Back to 'duty'..will check the inputs out this night..looks just too plain cool to not refly today..took already tons of screens.

I only fly the bombers, it is a great achievment just to keep them in the air. when attact I give a shit I must cool down my engine keep flying steady not go in flatspin not loose speed. That is fun too me
as for the fighters the Phalz is the best and historicaly they where, Allied pilots belived that the only thing they could do was to kill the pilot to bring the damn thing down

SPAD is all about energy and lag pursuit. You let slower planes turn wherever they want while keeping stick neutral, and after a second or two - you now have speed -pull after them & pump them with bullets! Rinse and repeat. (this is against Albas and FokkersD7 - not Dr1) Plus its one of the best climbers, so vertical tricks like vertical scissors & rope-a-dope work a treat (watch requiem ROF tactics: http://youtu.be/cQWyrOSB6uw http://youtu.be/guVMVY2C6mM ). SPAD control surfaces are like those on (default) FW190 in il2 - react very nicely but at higher speed. I got hooked on RoF after understanding how to dominate 1-2 ace AI in their Albas5/fokkers7 with my Spad- it was not immediately obvious, but when I cracked energy fighting, I fell in love with the thing:)
AlbaVa is more intuitive to fly - just point it at enemy and lead pursuit al the time (unless you're against Camel;). BTW Alba3 is the best Alba- the Va has same engine, but more weight.
@Leone
Dr.1 was the best at agility, FokkerD7F the best at climbing, Albatroses - the best at looking good :D As far as Antanta went anyway;)
@Tom2
I fly noob style - with auto mixture - still getting the feel for completely different tactics from what I was used to in IL2 :D
Dont forget that we have free field mods - like colimator sights for both SPAD and (trully excellent one) for Alba5a ;)
...
But real stars of the game are of course the Dr.1 and the Camel. Dr.1 in paricluar I dream that I'll be able to learn - I'd love to be able to pull of the tricks it's capable of. The FM in RoF was written almost just for Dr.1 they say :)
Dr.1 coolnes

Man the only pilot that will let you do that is the AI :D, which is really the only part about this sim that is lacking.
I mean talk about a one trick pony. The AI of all levels only know how to do a few things, and none of them well.
The thing about the SPAD is that against other real players its at a severe disadvantage outside of a very narrow envelope.
Fighting a SPAD is like fighting a bull. You just hang out there, jink way harder than he can, turn inside him as hes trying to line you up, watch him blow by and put some rounds in his ass. Then watch him wonder WTF just happened, and try to set up another BnZ run. :D
I remember how frustrated the instructors were getting over at JO. Had 3-5 of them at any one time in SPAD's trying to shoot me down in my DVa.
I ended up having to bug out after downing 5 of them and running out of ammo. put her down in a field and walked away laughing!
But this was after a lot of optimizing the controls of my Albatros.
Oh, and your not entirely correct on the DIII. The DVa is heavier because its far sturdier, and less likely to lose wings in a dive. Definitely worth the extra weight.
Now one thing I don't get about the sim is the control inputs. Ive set up each aircraft to be fairly neutral at cruise, but to smoothly transition to the extremes of control input when so ordered. In the responses display the stick icon and the control icon will be in the same place, but its not reflected in game. Very strange to me.

What are your system specs?
It ran well on my old Phenom II 945/GTX460. I know a few guys that have older systems that have problems with EXE crashes but not with graphics.
What sort of settings you using in game?

If I can run this on full setting should I be able to run CloD?

@ CWMV
You may be right - I always flew camel online, SPAD -offline :D There are too many Dr.1s and FokkerD7F's (the latter on noob server is a monster as it always has "hohengas" running with no overheat) online for Spad to be comfy, if people flew Albas and FokkersD7's I think SPAD would fare better. For a noob like me anyway - great pilots can dominate with it against any plane. (Another thing I LOVE about RoF is their leaderboard - you know who learn from and who the real stars are http://riseofflight.com/en/community/leaderboard/Multiplayer)
Cheers for the info on Albatroses - I've read some very high ranked player's opinion who said Alba3 was *better* and more agile, but not better at everything I now find:) I do not have Alba3 to compare myself, but might give Alba5 more time.
Now one thing I don't get about the sim is the control inputs. Ive set up each aircraft to be fairly neutral at cruise, but to smoothly transition to the extremes of control input when so ordered. In the responses display the stick icon and the control icon will be in the same place, but its not reflected in game. Very strange to me.
I have read that =FB=Viks, =FB=Vaal (this guy doesnt even have pedals or trackir!) and Wolf-13 and several other russian top-100 players all fly on default curves.
@Toasted_Toad
Try disabling SLI - its support was resolved only very-very recently, I'm not even sure its made its way in to a patch yet. Also, update drivers for your 480. Lastly, with SLI disabled you can try cheking/uncheking the multi-GPU support in RoF options.
@Schwieger
Yep, easily. Not on full settings , but many settings will be high adn it will run ok. Dont expect RoF physics though ;)
-
I tried out the different German Types in my IC Edition. Took me long to get a feeling for ROF. That was before I tried the Pfalz D.IIIa. This was love on first flight.
Well it's a matter of opinion that I don't like the rest, DR.I or Fokkers in General, the Albatrosses are lil better in handling, still not my liking, too detailed, unpleasant characteristics. Like on horses, I don't like those Arrogant race breeds, I like more the grounded acre-stud. The Pfalz in my Iron Cross Edition has become my ride, it just turned out to fit like a glove. Doesn't stall on any occassion, very forgiving. I don't need a fast and nimble plane, give it some structure. The first bird that gave me success, good handling, claiming 3 Kills. I was stunned myself, with the rest I couldn't stay at their 6, a Kill?, never, and now in the Pfalz I made a triple Kill?! For my old-fashioned unspectactular tactics, massive use of turning, it seems to be perfect. Albatrosses, Fokkers, don't know why I couldn't perform in them.
Buying all these extra Fokkers and Trosses, not really, but I'm eager to fly the Pfalz D.XII, DFW C.V and on occassion the Allied types, just to try out.
-
It's all about the Brisfit, mate.
-
You know what Borsch, if you can actually fly the camel you are a far better pilot than I. I hate, hate, HATE that stall machine! ;D
But I love the Dr.1, weird I know.
I'll have another go at the D3, hopefully this time the wings stay on!
-
@Knochenlutscher
Each to their own:) I cant fly Dr.1 AT ALL but its my favourite craft and one reason why I continue to play RoF - to pick up more piloting skill and eventually tame that "Arrogant race breed" ;) Not just to put a tick in a box "I've tamed Dr.1", but because at its limit it capable of very sexy flying :D Although I do love to learn & hence "to tame" - that IS fun in itself for me.
I will buy Pfalz3 and Alba3 as my next planes though -just to try them at least :)
@ CWMV
Well, I only flew on noob server and only on two separate occasions (kill/death=0.1 and =1 respectively) so I'm hardly in a postiion to give advice... but for me camel control is all about feeling the force feedback in my MSFF2- it hardens, shudders, lightens - just react to it. Yes, last time I still had two flat spins in it that came ABSOLUTELY out of the blue to my noobishness, but overall it turns very nicely left and right (with a bit of rudder applied of course and occasional blipped engine ).Although of course I've not even scratched the surface on what it is capable of in the hands of Suzeri or =FB=Vaal - it's a very *deep* plane like Dr.1.
Dr.1 on the other hand is like a chinese box kite - its physics are completely over my head! I can turn left if I carefully initiate it with a lot of rudder, I can even do very slow and wide Verner Voss slides, but I need to be far too deliberate and slow for online and even in relaxed offline conditions it shudders, flicks and straightens up all the time - FF or no FF:) Camel is far more forgiving to noobs (with FF?) "throwing it about"- I feel.
Taming Dr.1 is my goal and aim but I'm not ready for it just yet :)

I don't know if any of you use this, look up "Rise of Flight AI mod, if actually makes the AI worth paying attention to.

Not sure what I changed so radically, key combo for zooming ..
Same with the Albatros..
This was my POV as I started flying...
(http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo230/Thorongil69/Tom/2011_8_20__23_28_8.jpg)

@Tom2
You need to switch off you trackir (F9 default) then select your view mode to some version of snap views (cant remember default button - look it up in RoF menu); then you use insert, home, and the rest of the keys in that cluster to position your view as you want it. + and - keys on keypad are your zoom buttons. Finally you press F10 (by default) to save your new default position.
This is also how you can make lots of custom snap views- press/hold hat switch, use mouse and insert keys cluster, press F10 to save your custom view for taxying etc...
Amazingly, there is no easier way to reset your view to default - you must change them yourself. For that reason I changed the "save current view as default" F10 key to Ctrl+F10 - so as not to mess up by accident.
@milantarik
Sorry to hear that! Did you try affinity core1 as well as core 2? Did it have ANY effect? It did on my dual core Win7 PC, although XP still ran RoF better.

This is how you make Flight Model!!! RoF teaches CloD a good lesson :)

the new patch 1021 has just been released - i'm downloading as i type this.. :D
from RoF devs:
The main reason for version 1.021 is to introduce a new aircraft, the legendary French Spad 7.C1 fighter. Images of this plane is often seen among the core set of aircraft from World War I - red Fokkers, green Camels and “sand” colored Spad 7s always come to mind. In addition to its pleasurable flight characteristics, this model is an important link in the chain of models needed for the career mode.
We have also added the following features, such as a new in-game map, the ability to meet an enemy ace in combat, the ability to see flight data when using Simple Gauges and Bombsights in both metric and imperial systems, the ability to lock the fuel level for users on a server and the ability to use flash animations on servers to create cooler missions. We’ve also done some work to improve dual core processor performance with Windows 7 and we believe we have the corrected the occlusion stutter when using SLI and possibly Crossfire. There are also many other minor changes that are too many to list here that will help you to enjoy ROF even more.
get it while it's hot 8)

I am more in to the ground pounding , the bristol was a very good fighter too and had several aces top ace was a observer, but right after him it was a pilot who downed 32 planes if IP remember correctly.

Hey all! I've been flying an RFC career, and have been writing my pilot's journal entries after each flight. I have six thus far, and am about to start my seventh. Please have a look and let me know what you think! http://sargentrichardchapman.tumblr.com/ (http://sargentrichardchapman.tumblr.com/)

Thats cool Norm, keep going.

Lovely screnshots
-
RoF sale is ON again!!! $2.99 per plane - 4 days only!! The game + 2 planes is still completely free (including online and campaign).
Don't miss, Everyone who does not have DR1 - buy it, its a true masterpiece of physics!!!
-
I bought some on this occasion too, mostly stuff I missed the last time, DFW, the new Spad, and some more Allied Planes.
I have now 95% of them, enough until the next discount-sale.
Had Luck that I watched my E-Mail Yesterday and got to read that Newsletter, the last times I missed this completely.
-
Hello all, I wasn't aware of this sale until I got an e-mail. Great marketing strategy I guess. ;)
Bought myself the Airco D.H.2, FokkerE.III, DFW C.V. and Breguet 14.B2. Pre-ordered the RE.8 while I was there.
Tried flying the Airco and Fokker and thought there was something wrong with my throttle control couldn't alter the engine revs, eventually tried the blip switch and then did some research into rotary engines. Apparently early rotary engines didn't have a throttle as such but used the blip switch to adjust the engine instead of a throttle. ???
Guess I fly WWII stuff too often eh.
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D
-
Cheers Borsch - thanks for the heads-up :D
Nearly missed the sales again!
Bought the lot - just in case ;)
Was expecting a big download - but great to see they are just activated in-game.
Going to have real fun in a different era, now 8)
-
This is one kick ass flight sim. I strongly recomend it. It's free except extra planes and they are on sale.
-
I love using the bristol to attack bombers and two seaters, just pull up below, and let the gunner handle it, he is quite good at it!
-
And the new German Two seater is out! The Halberstadt CL.II is here!
-
:'( Curse my crappy computer! :'( ???
-
...I'm patiently still waiting to fly the Polikarpov i-16 barely visible in the dark background of the hangar (hint) ;)
-
You can delete the easy option in settings you find this feature in menu inside mission selector. I got all the planes and cant live without this sim. Work flawlessly since I started 1 year ago.
-
...I'm patiently still waiting to fly the Polikarpov i-16 barely visible in the dark background of the hangar (hint) ;)
You and me both.
I cant imagine how beautiful it would look, as ROF is the best looking combat flight sim out there. If they ever WAKE UP and start doing WW2 planes Luthier might as well resign 'cause it would murder CoD.
-
+1... for a Curtiss 75 instead of some halberstadtrumpel twin wing Canvas flying shoebox.
if it works (code...), if the graphix is good(screens are promising) and the potential correct...
count me in. 80... 120... dont care bout da munneh. That not a thing i will b!tch about.
-
thump! thump! THUMP!
that's the sound of rof kicking clod's ass, lol...:D
-
ROF is beautiful. I had the sim for awhile. Have all the planes and the Halberstadt box is cool! ROF is difficult to master even with adjustments just to become an average pilot - survive. Se5a, Fokker D7 I find easier to fly than some others. Great sim for your collection. Beautiful. A dream would be a up to date WW2 sim to be done with the same amount of class, attention and graphics. Unfortuneately CLOD isn't at this stage in the same class. Oh, well one can dream and hope! :) (Curtiss 75..cough, thump!) :D
-
I had this a long time, I enjoy it for an hour online , but Il2 I enjoy 2 -3 hours offline for some odd reason. I cant figure out why . Rof is exelent, but still I prefer il2
-
Because offline RoF sucks, that's why ;) No mission editor = no good missions to fly. Beta dynamic campaign is like watching the same movie over and over again.
-
There is a mission editor.
-
There is a mission editor.
Yeah, but it's not as easy to use (for me anyway) as the IL-2 FMB. Good game though, I own all the planes and the pre-orders.
-
There is a mission editor.
Yeah, that mission editor is such that it not a single user made static campaign has been made for RoF- and its been on the market for 3 years now? Compare that with Il2:1946 wealth of campaigns that were made in 3 years afte its release. Or even to CloD that has AMAZING user made campaigns available already.
Single player content is single biggest drawback of RoF imo.
-
Yeah, that mission editor is such that it not a single user made static campaign has been made for RoF
The St.Mihiel campaign was made by a user. You can buy it from the ROF site.
There is talk of a user made DGEN too, but I have not really bothered to look for it yet.
And as far as CLOD goes, I have not bothered to fire that up for months.
-
I thought St Mihiel was made by 777 or at least in collaboration with them? User made Dgen - yes there is such a thing, but its Dgen.
In terms of fun user made mission/campaign content it's as close to zero as one can pretty much get. Nothing like Il2:46 or CLod or LockOn FC (my other flying sim:)). Even if we count St Mihiel - that only ONE in three years and it uses 3 planes of the 30 available.
-
Im pretty sure St Mihiel was made by a 3rd party - don't own that, but the Career mode is good IMO. Usually fly a mission when I have a spare hour (or less if I get shot Down ;)). Career mode has it's faults too, the AI is improving all the time though, sure they will get there eventually.
-
New weapon mods announced, some really cool stuff, rockets, a 20 mm auto cannon, a 57mm recoiless rifle (for anti-shiping missions), etc.
-
guys
got this on cover of pc pilot mag a while past ,installed it last week . i want to use it offline but first it is trying to update its self 454 mb, unfortunately my download is very slow ,so is it possible to disable this update for now so i can try it out offline as it stands
-
is it downloading currently? not sure it's possible to stop the download... Either way, you will need to patch at some point.
-
norm
every time i try to run it it goes into download mode ,i just want to run in as is in offline mode for now if i like it i will at later date let it download updates
-
really? shouldn't the launcher just let you when you click "start"? Never happened to me... Perhaps you should ask on the ROF forum, there would be people better suited to help there.
-
I have all and preordered all for some reason. I do ot know why I hardly fly this sim. But I think it is great. Still I am not flying it :-X
-
It's a very nice sim, I wish I had the computer to do it justice. Nope, no more aircraft for me till I can play it at reasonable settings.
-
Well this sim seems to be kinder in the specs than any other sim I know about, It is also very friendly playing online. No stutter at all in bad connections. It is really fantastic in so many ways. You do not need to buy a monstrum to run this in best settings
-
No, but it helps. I have the graphics and ram, but not the processor. I can just about play it on 800x480 with low settings. It takes forever to load. I can play it, it's just a faff and not as enjoyable as it could be. I'm sure even more recent games are even more intense.
-
Maan, I cant believe that how much I've grown to love this game!

ROF is a beauty. I still prefer WWII, but when I have a need to get my stringbag on, ROF is the only way to go.
-
But for me it's the physics that really pulled me in!.. Just watch the Dr.1 doing spirals sideways with nose pointing down with hardly any altitude loss! :o (starting from 2:14) http://youtu.be/_g-ZTEQRrQ4
The damage modelling is also part of physics and its just soooo fun http://youtu.be/jRXFv0MkOD4

Rise of Flight Iron Cross $2.99. WW1 dogfighting never been so cheap!
LMAO :D
IL-2-1946+Mods (DBW-1916) ... still FREE! WW1 dogfighting never been so very cheap!

"Thread Locked"
-
Hi guys. We have temporarily locked this thread because of "promoting sales" issues. Just hang tight and we'll make a choice soon. We all love flight sims and ROF is a good one. Give us a bit to get this sorted.
Thank you,
SAS~Bombsaway.
-
Borsch,
do me a favor and STOP with your advertising the ROF Price here.
Thread is unlocked.
Borsch "No more price sales pitches Please"
-
I am sorry for annoying Max the Hitman with good deals on flight sims that some fellow pilots may benefit from. Wont happen again! Let him enjoy his free copy of IL2:1946 in peace! ;D Salut!
-
What he meant is that we got DBW-1916 which is absolutely free.
I voted for reopening this topic because ROF is a nice game, but I know that if I would go to the ROF forum just to advertise an IL-2 ww1 mod they would tell me to leave pretty quick ;)
-
Maybe open a seperate forum for RoF here?
I mean I actually benifit from borsch posting the deals, let's me know when to go buy more planes.
Think of it we have a sub forum for a broke-ass unplayable POS "sim" called CoD, and people have posted sales threads there. They don't anymore because no one really gives a darn about it but if the game was functional we would see the same behavior there. And dollars to donuts it would be tolerated.
-
Yes I fly ROF 2 hours a week online, loving the game every minute, but two hours a week is enough. 1916 is more to the spot and fast fun play it a lot more. This is a IL2 site and your smartass comment to Max was not called for.

I usually give people warning the second people getting personal, but my new boss Bombs :) tellls me to correct you once before such actions are taken. You see that is the one of three rules in here that we dont accept anyone to cross. Do not get personal public
@CWMV
We has not thought about it , just discussed it once or twice. As for now we live and die with IL2, maby CLOD is given up by the distributors and we can get our fingers on that game one day
-

Well, if you guys change your mind, I put in my support.
As for now, I think I'll stick to my Stuka. :-P
-
I keep reading on the RoF forums that 777studios bought the rights to IL2, past, present, & future. Then the topic dissapear fast. I think theres some truth to it, if so.. then its nothing but good news for IL2 fans.. imo of course.
-
If it is true maybe they have future plans
-
I pray for 777 to take over the series.
Obviously maddox games isn't up to the task. And 777 has demonstrated they have what it takes.
Id love to see these guys make an I16 and 109F.
-
+1
-
A cursory look has shown no information on this subject. However, wouldn't this information have to be made public or something if 777 is an American company?
-
Nope.
-
Not in an official anouncement, but isn't there some government entity that keeps track of trademark/copyright data which is public?
-
the patent or copywrite office, but I'm not sure that has to made public.
I would hope not anyway.

Totally agree. ROF is very good CLOD very disappointing.
-
I will get the ICE when my stick works again or I get a new one. But I dont like their price system. As a casual gamer, who not often flies 7 Euro for one plane is to much. I would rather spend 100 Euro for the Game with all addons, instead of DLC content.
As I read that the 777 Studios will work on the Il2 series, it was a shock for me, because I believe the pay for plane system will get in Il2 BoS also.
-
Indeed I agree also, but there is nothing we can do. The big business idea in this new century will
be mostly a pay-as-you-play along gaming attitude.
I would not be surprised if they start making games only available
on-line and you have to put a coin in the machine and play.
Once the coin/time is up... Game Over - Insert Coin ;D Its like back to playing Pac-Man arcade games all over again.
But at least , those people that can afford such money for games wil have a better game (I hope).
-
2D Il2 Arcade with Hitler in a UFO as Endboss.........5 continues left
Or the DLC madness of Cashcom ähh Capcom....hey lets release a Tekken vs Street Fighter PS3 game with 15 chars, and lets put 12 another chars on the disk but the idiots have to play 15 Euro to get them har har har
-
BTW, I dont know how to explain it, but is the fuselage undestructible in ROF ? It looks like old Janes WW2 fighters. A plane hits the ground with highspeed and the Fuselage is still one piece. I have check some ROF Videos and also they dont seem to have mid air explosions or explosions if a plane hit the ground
-
I've had the game for years, but never played it until a couple weeks ago. I haven't put it down since! The scenery is very nice, solid fps over large cities, debris from other planes do damage, you can fly above an overcast sky, water streaks across your view when you enter a cloud, and the planes inside and out are amazingly detailed with dynamic shadows and light! ROF is definitely a next gen game. It's also a better performer on my i7 than IL2(no cpu max). I can't wait to see what 777 does with IL2! This morning I just noticed that there's an I 15/16? series WWII fighter lurking in the Main Menu's shadows! The effects particles could be lowered a bit though:)
-
I have the game as well, bought the Iron Cross Edition. I haven't had a chance to play I guess My computer isn't up to the job, I will have to upgrade to a dual core, my system is about 7 yrs old.
I understand the frustration about pay to play, for different A/C upgrades...but business is business.
I know a lot of us have been spoiled by the free upgrades on IL-2 by the D. team as well as this and other communities skins and campaigns. We are lucky that these communities just ask for donations and not monthly dues to access their sites. I guess the best way too look at it is divide the number of hours that you play by the cost of the upgrade, you will find that it is really pennies per hours of enjoyment.

That early model I-16 has been there for quite some time unfortunately.
-
I have tested it now and this game is the shit :D ! I would really like to have the bucks to update it with all dlcs.
It works great on my PC in 1400x900 with a lot of nice effects. IL2 always stutter.
Really nice game !
-
Totally disagree about RoF vs CloD. CloD is light years ahead of RoF and it's a shame 1C didn't persevere with it and planned sequels- or should I say that the team weren't allowed to persevere with it. I for one applaud ATAG for their determination to mod CloD and sort out the bugs- and, who knows, eventually start making maps for the Med, a theatre Oleg was very keen on doing.
I agree with KG3_V about RoF's indestructible fuselages- I've done a lot of crashing and haven't wrecked a fuselage yet.
-
I have had my fuselage snapped in half, quite a few times now!
-
Yes snaps i have also seen, but i miss explosions when planes hit the ground at high speed
-
IRL those planes didn't produce mushroom clouds when coliding with the ground. Sure, it could use more parts of fuselage allowing more destruction but it's still more realistic than fuselages made of explodium in IL-2.
As for games being higher quality when they earn more - Call of Duty series have proven this statement to be wrong. They release crappy games which beat sale records and earn more than best Hollywood movies.
The best paying model IMO is freemium model from League of Legends. You have 2 types of points here: Influence Points which you earn by playing game and Riot Points which you buy with money. Champions (the characters you can play) can be bought with both, runes (they improve your champion's stats in game) only with IP and visual upgrades/XP boost (higher summoner level doesn't give you advantage as you are placed against comperable opponents during matchmaking)/other services with RP only. Once you get to level 30 you can start playing ranked matches in which you have equal chances with your opponents. It should be noted that champions are balanced in this game so you buy them to match your playstyle, without biger is better factor. There is also a list of 10 free champions available to everyone, changed every week. Each chamion eventually gets there, so you can try it before you buy it. There are no champions unavailable to play in free champ rotation or to buy with IP, so with relatively high IP earning rate people only use their RP to buy skins.
This model has been more-less adapted to War Thunder and it seems to be working well, though there is bigger is better factor here, you buy better planes all the time... RoF however is oriented arround one era, so it would work even better there.

I have been unfortunate enough to witness a crash which resulted in a ruptured fuel tank. I can tell you there is a reason they would make such occurrences rare. Another reason is that 777 wanted to keep the ESRB rating low, thus the fuselage remains largely intact.
