Outstanding!
Great deal for newer pilots. I know I've gotten my $$$ worth over the last year.
This one is a must get for any flight simmer, and lovers of WW1 biplanes shouldnt even wait for the IC edition to be released. Just get it RIGHT NOW!

Preorder with an $10 markup placed on Amazon.
Well worth the investment just reading how much
fun can be had. BTW, just watched the movie Red Baron on
VUDU in HD and while a syrupy affair the aerial combat
scenes is where it shines.

Jason:

Congratulations! I wish you and the ROF team the very best of luck on the USA ICE release, excellent idea and I hope it brings added revenue in to allow father improvements in ROF including a possible campaign.

I too still have RedBaron II and 3d disks which I modded for everyone years ago. Then Wings of War, which turned out to be limited in what we could do, but is still fun in the instant fly mode, even if quite arcade. Next, was OFF and I'm very proud of how it has improved over the years. The currant version of Between Heaven and Hell and Hat in the Ring have become the best WWI sim experience out there besides Rise Of Flight, each having their strengths and weaknesses, but each being a ball to fly in and enjoy. I was an early purchaser of the prerelease of ROF and eagerly awaited the arrival of the DVD. I've bought about half the planes so far, all Entante, but will get around to trying the German ones eventually. I'm not much of a pilot, but love the graphics and all the effort obviously put into it.

I think what is most impressive is to see a commercial development that hasn't fallen to being bought out by a bigger company and turned into a video arcade version. The only other WWI sim that came close was Flying Corps but they had too many tech problems and it just didn't make it in many ways. The ROF team obviously believes in making the most accurate flight sim they can, just as the OFF team does. I thought only independent modders like the teams working on RedBaron and OFF were capable of this, but I'm glad I was wrong. Please stick with it and thank you for all your efforts!

All the best,

Hello Jason,

Any word on which sellers will have which launch bonuses?

*edit* More specifically: Will the edition available through the Canadian branch of Amazon.ca have a launch bonus?

Best of luck,

Amazon will have the N.17 launch bonus. The D.II was reserved for another retailer, which said they would carry it, but they have not placed an order yet or listed it. So, when/if they decide to carry it they will have the D.II. If that retailer changes their mind I will give it to someone else.

I do not know what the hold up is. The distributor is in charge of that operation.

When I know more I will post it asap.

Jason

I have pre ordered with Go-Gamer and am now patiently waiting for the release date. Hope Go gamer receives the boxed version in a timely fashion and is able to ship in good time..

How will I be advised of any or which extra aircraft I am eligible for?


regards
Pawgy

Right now all retailers that have ROFICE listed get the N.17.

Thanks for the reply - this is good news: I've been on the fence about the N.17 as I didn't like it in the last three WW1 sims I've flown. So this way I get to buy another plane as well! So I'm happy at least.
