Just a little something to add to the immersion factor. I've found a use for my bowling towel ( I no longer Bowl ). Drying the sweat off my joystick.

My brim visor on which my TrackIR reflector is mounted has an integral sweat band, so my eyes stay clear, as sweat stings

I sincerely hope I'm not pissing in anybodies cheerio's

But when Phase III was released the Disc was $50 plus shipping

seeing as this is a money making operation, I see no reason for otherwise

Phase III might prove itself a good deal Today

Only $19.99 plus $9.99 for the Hat in the Ring Expansion!

A bargain I say, doubly so in this economy.

I originally posted in this thread on page 3.

Since that time, I have gotten a much, much better computer and have spent a lot of time with Rise of Flight.

Today, I reinstalled OFF on my new rig, and discovered how to increase the graphics levels.

I reinstalled OFF for a very simple reason. Try as hard as I could to love RoF, the single player experience simply sucks (IMHO). I do enjoy a little MP but I am primarily a SP guy and RoF just wasn't doing it.

I decided to reinstall OFF to see if I could get into it again having a lot more WW1 flight time under my belt. Having spent a few hours with it tonight with the graphics cranked up I've come 180 from my page 3 assertion. I definitely find OFF a much more immersive and fulfilling single-player experience. Just great stuff. I saw more planes in two missions tonight in campaign mode than in a dozen RoF missions (campaign beta, I never quite figured out Wilson's program to be honest).

I do prefer the higher end graphics in RoF, and the stuff like oil on the goggles and flares and such. But I found the world had no immersion factor once the wow factor wore off.

Consider me a reformed WW1 flight simmer. You can count on me being a day 1 WOFF customer!

Great job guys!

After purchasing all of ROF content and being with it from the start i to have returned to OFF (well realy never left it).

You are so right toonces ROF lacks immersion for me.

Please guys let's not start a debate ROF Vs OFF it has all been done before they both have there good points and bad.

toonces, just in case you want to read my "easy graphics setup pictorial", here's the link:

Yeah, let's avoid sim-bashing; it's no use.
I like the look of the RoF aircraft and effects, and I like to fly online MPs occasionally
(although I have seen cheaters with undestroyable Camels too often recently).

But when it comes to writing down my name in a Jasta's book, for a campaign with historical
data, depth and events going on; if I want to immerse in those aviators' world more than 90 years
back in time - then I cannot see any other work that could give this to me but OFF.
Of course OFF could be outdone and overtrumped soon - by WOFF!
