I very seldom fly in circles. And why do you struggle to get sights on target ? Those open cockpits offer really good view. TIR or something similar is a must, of course.

I seem to recall they had some big news to announce before Christmas and were looking for beta testers. Not sure if it was the hand guns and streamers?

And I do remember some tantalising pics of what looked like pacific scenery?

Anyway, here's hoping. I love the Rise of Flight engine, business model and commitment to historical accuracy. Love to see them make a push into the WWII theatre this year.


Yo - anyone know if the call for beta testers was to test the hand guns and streamer, or something else?

Not sure if it's the Pacific, the trees look European, or they might be placeholders.

Yeah I hate to say it but same here. I love ROF but... Well, BMS 4.32 got me to fly Falcon multiplayer. I've been flying Falcon 4.0 since 1998 and nothing, no mod, not BMS 2.0, SP 2/3/4, Freefalcon, OpenFalcon--none of these got me to fly multiplayer. Now I fly Falcon online almost every night.

That's saying a lot. BMS 4.32 is the Falcon we've all been secretly dreaming about for all these years but accepted a long time ago it'd never happen... and then it did. BMS opens up so many possibilities now for Falcon it is amazing.

It still doesn't quell my urge for dogfighting though--nothing does except RoF and RoF does that best.
