Dear Friends,

Due to increased numbers Rise of Flight users and an increasing load on the ROF servers, we have scheduled some routine maintenance work for Monday, December 23th beginning at 10:00 UTC (14:00 Moscow time).

Due to this maintenance, some of our additional services such as the ROF website and forum will not be available. We plan to have the maintenance completed by 14:00 UTC (18:00 Moscow time) on December 23th.

During this time you can use all offline modes of gameplay in ROF as usual.

Also, to ensure that our servers continue to perform properly on a day to day basis for our customers, routine maintenance will be conducted monthly and take place the second Monday of every month. We will announce estimated start and end times for monthly maintenance on the ROF forum.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our users. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

The site is up again. The update is not yet available.

Great stuff!
Only in an RoF update log would the Nieuport 11 FM changes get "buried" at the end because of all the new features being introduced!

No Halb but you can buy a pistol and a scarf for $7.99...

No no no, everyone gets a scarf, for $7.99 you get to choose the colour!

The AI now cannot see you through clouds and in darkness.

Have bought the new mission pack but this pilot personalisation pack for $7.99 is one add on too much for me.
Taking advantage of the community in my view.
I wont be adding this to my otherwise complete collection.

...Less with the Luger, what about Mauser C-96?

And Davy, it is worth every penny of the cost!

As is mine!

And I say the lack of a paisley scarf option is criminal.

... 777, you guys ROCK! :-D
Now... What about Zeppelins..? ;-)
Merry christmas!

+1 on the

On the other hand (so to speak ), an option to "flip the bird" to your opponents might be worth $7.99 to me

Now I want the option to get out of my aicraft when I've survived a crash to face my opponent with my sidearm!

I want the option to strangle my opponent with my scarf.

we've chosen to flip the bird in another direction and opt not to buy. it's not the price, it's the principle.

More than anything i want to continue to see this sim evolve and grow, and maybe in the future i will see a WW2 sim as noteworthy as Rise of Flight!!

I think that while it's sometimes true that you don't get what you pay for (cough..CoD..cough) it's even more true that you will never get what you don't pay for.

I think the ROF developers have done a great job balancing between unpaid-for and paid-for content. ...

For the price of a couple of pints it seems like very cheap entertainment to me.

Do DH2 pilots have to worry about their scarf getting tangled in the prop and then get completely sucked through the blades?

"Not sure 'bout that, just picked up CloD for $10 or so just this morning. It HAS to be worth that!"
I don't know, I'm not so sure COD is even worth that. I made the mistake of buying it for ten bucks , too. "How can you go wrong for that price?"
Well, the options screens won't work for me. And I was getting flashing colors in the cockpit. Uninstalled, and now I can't reinstall. Steam is telling me, "That title is unavailable."
I should have spent my money on another ROF airplane.

....I thought this was supposed to be unplayable.
And I'm not out over the water by myself. I just finished a mission , attacking Hawkings Airfield. 109's, 110's and Hurricanes in the air. Explosions on the ground. Planes crashing. Running smooth as silk. Not a stutter. Haven't done a single tweak.
No super computer. Quad core, I7 processor, 1 gb ATI vid card. Was top of the line when I bought it. Pretty average , now, I guess.
Was expecting a damn slide show from all the posts. Lots of, "I'm shelving this 'til they fix it," posts.
I had menu problems when I first openeded 'er up and thought, "Oh no, what the Hell did I do this for?"
In the game, itself, the only thing I see that might be considered an issue, is shimmering trees when I'm down low. The trees and their shadows have it. Not bad enough to be a game stopper.
Obviously, there were some major things wrong with this sim. Too many posts about it, to think nothing was wrong. I'm just glad I waited to pick it up.
But, I don't know. Seems oksy. Looks fixed. Well...its' running fine for me, anyway. I even have AA working. Closed it down in the ingame menu, and switched it on in the ATI settings. have it set to 4X. Might lower it to 2X and see if I can play this on Ultr-High.
If anyone is still reading this boring post, how do you disable the Ubisoft splashscreen? I read that it migght cure my menu issues. Thanks.

I haven't got the new campaign yet, but I did enjoy the original linear campaigns. I used to have a "not dynamic, not interested" mindset, but the RoF campaigns showed that with a bit of effort (i.e. general plot, briefings, scripting), a linear campaign can be a fine experience.
