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. http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=24012

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)... 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.

What was Project Galba? I'm not familliar with that one. IIRC it was the project to create a Korean War addon for IL-2 ?? Wheels It was meant to be based on the CLOD engine, not the IL2.
Check this link out for RRG Studios which is Ilya's old group: http://web.archive.org/web/20090307181219/http://www.rrgstudios.com/EN_02_08_UnnamedTitle.shtml
I can't help being worried reading between the lines for the future plans to keep ROF in the WW1 theater. Is it possible the anouncement will be a shift of focus to the Korean theater or am I paranoid? 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.Very nice to see the picture of the Halberstadt CL.II ! 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).

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! Sorry, but too much whisky conjures up images of Forgotten Battles... - I'll be quiet now...

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.

zeppelin sucks it's too 1914 guys, some new maps would be cool and we need those missing late war birds. 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.

Anything early war is much more needed than yet another new late war fighter like the Snipe, Siemens Schuckert, etc. +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! Again, I'm not whining, and I don't mean to rant. It's just my two cent's worth.

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
