I'm also holding off on this. Not only because there is not yet a campaign. I second the statement that the 3rd party campaign generator is excellent.
The main problem to me is the lack of 2 seater aircraft. I'd like my campaign to be at least somewhat similar to actual operations at the time, and without observation aircraft there is no reason for fighters to be flying around over the front!
MACHINE GUN FIRE: CAMBRIN by ROBERT GRAVES (September 25 1915)
The torn line wavers, breaks, and falls. 'Get up, come on!' the captain calls 'Get up, the Welsh, and on we go!' (Christ, that my lads should fail me so!) A dying boy grinned up and said: 'The whole damned company, sir; it's dead.' 'Come on! Cowards!' bawled the captain, then Fell killed, among his writhing men.

I haven't gotten into Flying Circus yet, but I'm intrigued. Are these stand-alone or an add-on to IL-2 Great Battles? IOW, what all will I have to buy to get in the air?
Campaign mode isn't an issue for me. I'm more interested in multiplayer. Wings Over Flanders Fields provides an excellent single player experience. Missions are free-form not scripted, lots of flyable planes including two-seaters, and the entire front from the North Sea all the way to Switzerland and even Southern England if you want to experience the first Battle of Britain (Gothas only on the Hun side...Zepps are non-flyable so far) is available. Unfortunately, WOFF has zero multiplayer capability, and I miss that side of gaming.
SALUTE TO ALL!

Not only will Flying Circus – Volume II have a campaign but it will also have these 2 seaters coming -- Airco DH.4, Breguet 14.B2 and DFW C.V., -- plus these: Handley Page 0-400 and Gotha G.V.! That should be enough to satisfy anyone!

And Rise of Flight still will not support VR.
And for me VR is as essential to flight sims as is a stick and rudder pedals.
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which The Party is always right." - George Orwell, 1984

What is so different in RoF 2 and then the planned 3 and 4 ? It does not quite make sense (for me that is). The graphics engine is totally updated in ROF 2. It looks a lot better. As far as the gameplay goes though it's essentially the same.
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

Well, the AI is a bit better too (plus you get any ongoing improvements that may happen in this area). ROF AI is, imho, pretty bad (definitely the weakest of the WOFF, FE2, FC group in comparison).
