Rise of Flight?
« on: September 24, 2012, 02:56:11 AM »
Just wondering if any of my fellow modeling brothers or sisters on here also fly on Rise of Flight?  If you're into combat flight sims, it's a monster.

This trailer is actual in-game footage. Yes, it's that good.

Yup. Got it day one on release. Love it.

I need to catch up with the You-tube videos, that's a good one you linked.

I like this (old) one - games come on a bit since then of course

I'd like to do a model pfalz in that scheme some day :D

Do you ever fly online/MP NP?
And that IS one crazy Pfalz scheme. :)

Yeah, Warren, I'm an addict, I fly MP with the Jasta 2 boys. My RoF handle is J2_Tony. We usually fly on the Syndicate server around 19:00 UTC. We also participate in most of the the tournaments (e.g. Bloody April and FEOW) most of the squad has been standing down over the summer, but I suspect we will become active again quite soon.

There are a few other RoF'ers here as well...

Here is a fun little video made by one of our guys, showing J2 annihilating a huge flight of IRFC HPs:

Cool beans UncleTony. I love The Syndicate server, and would love to fly with an online group, but my time to fly is so here and there, I can never commit to practices, etc.

Good luck in the pixelated skies Von B!

If you run into issues (lots to learn in such a deep sim), head on over to the ROF forum; plenty of folks there to lend a hand. Also a fair number of model enthusiasts and of course aviation and history enthusiasts...

I've had it since release too, and it keeps drawing me back. Not many games I've had that lasted so well, partly because it gets updated so much. Just bought a W12 too, so looking foward to trying that one out! :)

As one of the NW crew I could agree there ;)

=NW=Rossolini reporting in.

It's an excellent game, highly recommend it. I myself have been flying it for a year and a half.

I have downloaded the free version twice and each time I have tried to install the game I get 'corrupt file' - I've given up!
I've done all the things you need to do to comply with windows 7 and still no joy!

Not so Happppy days!

Check the file size is around 3.84Gb- maybe the download is just getting disconnected or timing out? (3.84Gb is just what the file size was when I last downloaded- I guess it's slightly different now)

I do vaguely remember it being a bit of a pain to install on windows7 64bit, I don't think it would be anything to do with the corrupt file error though.
