Well, it would still be good if RoF team did it at some point.

IIRC it was the project to create a Korean War addon for IL-2 ??

Interesting. First time I've heard about it. A Korean war sim would certainly be something to try but I'm personally happier if they stick to WW1. Cheers.

Yeah. As I understand it, the Maddox team were working on CloD with Ilya's team from Pacific Fighters working on the Korea sim. When Oleg left CloD development Ilya took over, and the Korea sim hit the back burner/bin. It's a shame for all that work to go to waste, but that's games development I suppose…

I'm assuming a lot of this "new" team worked on PF and the Korea sim. As others have said, hopefully this will up the pace of ROF development.

Either way I guess I may at worst have to get interested in another period of aerial warfare. : )

Love the Halberstadt.


We all have aour favorites (for me its WWII PTO/CBI), and as much as we'd like every sim to concentrate exclusively one our favorite theater, there does come a point of dimishing returns; ROF has room to improve, but it will never be quite "perfect," or have every plane. There is still definately some more room to expand in WWI, but at some point, 777 going to have to move beyond WWI, or they will end up competing with themselves.

It would require substantial recoding to produce an optimised later war sim from RoF though...

My personal pick would be the 1930s - perhaps a fictional campaign (although the SCW or Kalkin at possibilities).
I'd love to fly a Tupolev ANT-7 / R-6 someday (Fighter patterned on the TB-1). I also find it quite interesting how the TB series almost outmatched fighters prior to the introduction of cannons around 1935 (try attacking one in a Gladiator in Il-2)...

Very nice to see the picture of the Halberstadt CL.II ! cheers
It looks very well captured, i have a soft spot for all t he Halberstadt planes.

However it worries me a bit what became of the original Rise of Flight team ? Are the new guys an addition ? Just hope the original team was not "set free" ?

Posted this in the blog comments, but I'm not sure anybody reads that from the dev team, but it looks like the pilot is seated way to high in the cockpit. It looks lime he is almost eye-level with the wing.
