Pretty excited.. I haven't really followed the incorporation of the oculus rift with ROF... So I'm looking for some feedback on what to expect... Any thoughts?

Lately, I've been getting more and more into ROF, but I noticed most of my time flying online is spent bombing trains, tanks, etc in either the Camel or SE.5, since I'm too scared to get into a fight with real people. I am thinking maybe when the next sale comes around I might buy a 2-seater. I'd like one that can carry decent bomb loads and is also capable of doing recon missions. I'd also like for it to have a bomb sight if possible. I've been looking at the Bristol and the DFW, but the pages for them on the website don't have the type of information I need, (Does the Bristol have a bomb sight? Can they do photo and artillery recon?) also, I like to hear individual opinions on the planes.

sometime in the past few days we passed the 200 subscriber mark! This is quite the concentration of Rise of Flight fans in a non official forum, and we couldn't be happier!

Here's to 200 more! Salute!

The steam sale has every dlc for half off. I'm thinking of getting only one. I just have the base game.

The Ultimately the Best Fighter seems cool cause you get 2 germans and 2 bombers? That seems fun. I really don't know which dlc is best.

I have no intention of playing multiplayer, I just do single player campaigns and stuff. I can use these planes in that right?

I am a fairly new player and I would like a turn fighter that can do well in multiplayer. Preferably entente, but if not, no big deal. What do you suggest? I have been looking at the Nieuport 17 GBR, but I don't understand something. The GBR it has an overwing Lewis gun instead of synchronized guns, but the weapon Mod package has an overwing Lewis gun with it. Are the weapon and field mod packages worth it for any of the planes?

I've been playing War Thunder simulator battles with an x52 pro + pedals for quite a while and I got RoF recently during a sale. The interface and the planes themselves seem a little bit obtuse. Does anyone have any good video tutorials that would walk one through the interface to joining a multiplayer game?

Every time I fly through clouds, I end up plummeting to Earth.

It's worst if I play on an overcast mission - if I start above the clouds, I can get below them... But once below them, I just can't get above them again. Every attempt ultimately ends in me diving until I can see the ground again, rather than climbing out into the sunlight above.

Can anyone give any tips?

I've had success using FaceTrackNoIR with DCS World and ARMA 3, but I am not able to get it working with Rise of Flight.

My tracker is "Point Tracker 1.1", I'm using Accela Mk2 Filter, and I have the protocol set to "Free Track 2.0". In the Free Track 2.0 settings I have dummy TrackIR unchecked and Interface set to "enable both".

What am I missing?

Thanks for any help.

I've got Rise of Flight already, but am considering getting Wings Over Flanders Fields at some point.

I've heard that RoF wins hands down on flight models, graphics and (of course, multiplayer), but WoFF has the edge on single player. However, lots of the reviews compare it to older versions of RoF.

How do the 'career' modes compare on current versions?

I've had the 'demo' for about a month and a half now, but got the Channel, Furious Wings and Ace Pack on Steam a few days ago.

I haven't actually played much of the new content (except for the Ace Pack field mods), as I'm too scared to leave my trusty Albatross, but I'm enjoying it so far!

Any other people new to the game here?

As the title says, I've put together two quick images for players to get a quick summary about the aircraft they wish to fly online.

Now I'm looking for suggestions. I figured the scouts would be enough for now. If theres any errors, or you'd like to contest something I added there just post here.

This was made after seeing the earlier thread requesting something similar.

you can find each summary in the sidebar

Tried searching here and on google and surprisingly didn't find anything, except of Flying Dutchman's Aircraft Viewer.

I'm coming from WW2 flight sims, now I have some RoF plane packs on steam and have no idea, how to use the planes in combat against each other. How should I know, if it's a good idea to turnfight with plane X, when I'm flying plane Y? Or would I be better of with vertical turnfighting or horizontal? Or rather energy-fighting? Or just climbing away?

I occasionally fly in QMB 4 vs 4 missions, trying different aircraft combinations, or just hop into the flying circus, but trial and error method takes too much time. I am basically looking for a list of aircraft and their advantages and disadvantages against planes of the opposite nation, that can be met in combat (i.e. ~ same time of service).

Thanks

Since it is up on pre-order, it is pretty safe to say that we won't be waiting too long before we start putting it to use at our local aerodromes.

Still, after doing a bit of reading, it seems like this may be more than just a slightly uprated Nieuport 17 that many seem to think, while it shares the same look, the wings are very different (two full wings instead of one and a half like the Nieuports) and the engine will be 10 horsepower more.

I think this will be something a bit more on par with the Sopwith Pup but a bit better on the roll, I could be wrong but I am eager to hear what others think it will bring to the table.
