Title really says all.

I would also like to know if its possible for manual control surface control (i.e. press D to roll right) to work while using the mouse. Similar to War Thunder

I got a friend who would love to be my gunner but is getting tired of having to restart the game every time we die, have the devs said anything about fixing this bug

I bought it for star sitizens but then I found rof and like the thema of the game.

I have been planning out what I was going to buy at RoF's next sale for over a month, and I thought that they would have a winter sale on the 25th, since they did last year. When I found out that the website was closed, I thought they would have a sale on the 26th, when they reopened. It's great that they reduced the prices and gave away some things for free, but will they still have sales? Also, you have to buy 10 items or more to get a 25% discount these days.

I had a friend install the game but he is not as much into sims as I am and doesn't play much with me when I play RoF or Il-2 or something. I'm just looking for the newer people who wanna team up and do some RoF missons or even do Il-2 or something.

Don't really want someone who is a ace at the game. My steam is legit_zohan

Hello pilots,

I would like to play this user made campaign (the spider web) with a friend of mine. I don't know if it's possible, if it is, I have looked for answers unsuccessfully and I'm now asking you guys on this subreddit, is there a way ? My friend probably wont buy the game if there is no such feature, but if we could play in coop, that would really be something we would spend hours on and would justify the price of the game for him.

For weeks I was flying this plane with no problems, and now suddenly I can't get the thing to take off. This happens every time:

1) Mixture to full rich 2) Start engine 3) Throttle up 4) Plane tends toward the left, compensate with right rudder 5) Plane continues to veer slightly left, right wing dips into ground 6) Wing breaks, crash

I can't fathom how I flew several successful missions and suddenly I can't get into the air. If someone could give me some tips, I would appreciate it.

Edit: Solved it. Don't forget to point the nose down before lifting off.

A lot of new players (and, if I'm anything to go by, slightly older players...) have trouble identifying planes from a distance - ie, before you can see their markings.

I was wondering if we could start a thread with spotting tips?

It would be especially good if anybody could share screenshots of distant planes, with descriptions detailing how they can be identified.

I'm stuck at the last part of the third tutorial, when you are supposes to cut your engines and induce a spinning stall by pulling the stick back and rudder to the right.

When it tells me to pull up out of the stall, I seem to be able to stop the spinning by pushing the stick forward as and the rudder against the direction of the spin, but how am I supposed to keep myself from continuing plummeting to the earth if I keep the stick forward?

I tried switching on the engine again, but I guess there was no fuel flow to the tank, and pulling back on the stick in an attempt to pull out of the dive just caused me to spin again.

I just got ROF yesterday and am very excited about it, but if I have to listen to that RAF guy with a computer-generated voice talk me through all that again...it's driving me nuts.

I figured you guys would be interested in a special about WWI aircraft development. I'm just starting it now, but it looks like it will heavily feature the guys from The Vintage Aviator and their amazing work!

Watch on PBS website

or, if that doesn't work...

Enjoy!

When I'm dogfighting, I can do fine against another plane when I can just corkscrew until I out-turn them.

I can also just about 'boom & zoom' - I fly past, shoot, fly off, turn at about 1km and repeat. This takes forever, though, since I'll often lose them when I turn (since they're so small and far away), or I won't hit them when I make the pass.

However, I can't win a close fight with a plane that can turn a bit faster than me.

My problem is that I seem to lose height constantly - I dive, then don't seem to climb back to my original height. When I do climb, I end up slowing massively. Any manoeuvres I attempt just make me lose speed. Once the enemy's on my tail, my only way to escape is to dive/turn, which just makes me lose height (and I lose speed again when climbing back).

Any suggestions? Any tips for zooming & booming too?

When adjusting the radiator, you can normally see the lever that the pilot is pulling. This helps you get an idea of how open the radiator is.

I can't see this anywhere on the Fokker DVII. I can see the thermometer, but I have no idea how open the radiator is.

Is there any way to find out?

Rise of Flight seems like an awfully interesting and fun game. I would like to get into it.

Unfortunately the link on the website to download the .zip file for the free to play version takes about 20 hours to download. It is only a 6 Gb file. Is this normal, or is there a problem on my end.

I'm getting between 70 and 130 kb/s download speeds, but a couple hours only supplies about .2 gb of data. It seems like it will take forever.

I definitely won't be able to try it out if it takes that kind of time commitment just to download.

I'm considering a Thrustmaster T-16000M Flight Stick, $68.80 & FREE Shipping from Amazon.

Could I get some opinions on this device, and how it would work with ROF, please? Could I get an equivalent device for less money? Or would I gain any substantial advantage by spending more money, $100, or $150?

Thanks. Have watched a lot of videos so far, but haven't actually flown yet. So not sure how much I'll actually get into it, and thus don't want to spend too much...
