Maybe slightly high but not by much. Check out the pic in this thread, bear in mind that the pilot seems to be leaning forward towards the instruments when the pic was taken. Not everone's the same height.

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)...


I have no idea what that next step is going to be, and it may still be years down the road (though obviously, it has to be something after WWI). I really think a fantasy setting would be a tough sell . .. maybe they could pull of Spanish Civil War, but most people (including myself) are going to want some historical context.

It was meant to be based on the CLOD engine, not the IL2.

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

Love the Halberstadt.


: ) think you are being paranoid - it's not likely where things are heading, in fact, it's unlikely at this stage it's moving away from WWI at all.

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" ?


There's been many changes of the ROF team since it's inception and a new owner. Much of the 3d work has been done externally for some time now so I wouldn't worry too much.

Remember Ilya and Jason are friends and I'm sure where they know where talent is they point each other in the right direction (as long as it doesn't detract from their own projects).

All of our plans in 2012 revolve around WWI.

Everyone just relax.

A Zeppelin would be a masterstroke.

Oh, and the development team should give us the Eastern front, where Richthofen started his career and where Sikorski bombers plied the skies!

- Barring that, Italy - Austro-Hungary would do just fine. Future New York mayor Fiorello LaGuardia going up against the Austrians in Caproni bombers!

I think a Zeppelin would be a dead-end . . . Flying would be boring as heck for all but a few, and night patrols to intercept them over England would not be that much more intersting for most after the novelty wore off.

'Course, that said, if 777 made one, I'd probably still buy it.

AI zeppelins would make for some amazing missions and I know of several games who had zeppelins and all of them were played heavily in mp.

If Zeppelins and Russian Ilya heavy bombers became an ROF reality my happiness would be endless.

Great looking aircraft. This is going to be a very nice addition to the game.

Anything early war is much more needed than yet another new late war fighter like the Snipe, Siemens Schuckert, etc. Of course the online dogfight crowd heavily disagrees as their only interest lies in the introduction of the next uber late fighter that is "so badly needed" even though it does not add in any significant amount to the overall gameplay and the fact that the late war part is pretty well covered already.

Sadly its the same situation in almost every other combat sim, people just want their uber fighters. Its a miracle that noone has been crying for a Mustang yet on the Cliffs of Dover forums.

We need a proper early war set of planes to match the (at the moment) largely useless Eindecker and DH.2! Any "crap" plane gets my vote any day, any time.

I have already stated that I wish they would flesh out the early war and add some new maps. Personally I wish they would just release some map making tools and let the community kick out some great maps... but I guess that would hurt their pay for content model.

Still I would love a good map that featured some mountains or hills of significants. I would even be ok with a non-historic map that had a wide variety of terrain types like some mountains, hills beaches and an ocean.

thumbsup +1

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I would much rather see some early-war two-seaters, or even a Morane Bullet, Morane, L, etc.

I've been following this game since I first saw its initial development back when it was Knights of the Sky, and from the start, the game was written to cover only 1917-1918. The late war has already been covered thoroughly enough (with some missing aircraft... I actually would like to see a good Siemens Schuckert, though, so +1 for that).

However, personally, the early-war aircraft are a far bigger priority. There's nothing worse than taking off in an Eindecker for an alert patrol only to go chasing an Re8 you can't even catch, let alone shoot down. And it's the same for the DH2 trying to catch a DFW.

Now that the sim has introduced the early-war stuff, I think it would be too much of a tease to leave us with the set of planes we have now, missing aircraft we need, while later-war aircraft, that are more like bonuses, are added.

Of course, I have nothing against the Cl.II. I'm very excited for its release! smile

Again, I'm not whining, and I don't mean to rant. It's just my two cent's worth. wink

The Eindecker is pretty well matched to the R.E.8, historically, isn't it?

Not really. The R.E.8 was coming into service in November 1916 (52 Squadron). The E.III was out of service or almost out of service by that time.

This.

New map will be required (mounatinous terrain of the italian front)

for A-H we need:
Hansa-Brandenburg C.I (early & late versions)
Hansa-Brandenburg D.I (early & late versions)
Phoenix D.I (if H-B D.I(late) is not included - they are very similar, although Phoenix model is superior)
Aviatik-Berg D.I
Oeffag-Albatros D.III
Phoenix C.I or UFAG C.I
Lohner E if seaplanes can be supported.

for Italy we need:
Ansaldo S.V.A.5
S.I.A 7 & 9 (SIA7 was apparently used by the Americans as well)
Pomilio PE
Hanriot HD.1
Caproni Ca.44 or 46
Macchi M5 if seaplanes are supported

Cheers,

Fafnir_6

Little-known fact: the first bombers in use by US army air forces
were Italian-produced Caproni bombers.
