Rise Of Flight

Same as me, I did laugh :smiley: but it also disappoints me knowing they did a a lot of research on the game and got it wrong. The Airforce Cross is awarded for flying under non combat conditions.

Splash :banana:

I’m on the leaderboard I wonder how they work out points?

6 missions and 6 kills

A low 822 but it is a start :slight_smile:

“… courage or devotion to duty whilst flying though not in active operation against the enemy.”

Wing-walkers, bloody show-offs! :slight_smile:

Ohhhhhhhh CAmel+Dr.1 :banana:

…and the new French Farmlands terrain Paf, gorgeous

Ohh yeah!

20mins review:
The new landscape just looks brilliant!
The Ai is much nicer to fight now, no frutsrating one hit-PK anymore.
Really, an anemy spad managed to hit al kind of my plane without mee being wounded or the engines dead.
The enemy is not running away for hours anymore.
The fly-now option doesnt offer much to at the moment, but I like to see it improved with the next patches.

Edit:
First impressions on the camel and the Dr.1.
After a few quick airbattles, I think there is some time needed to really master those beasts :roflmao:
Most difficult planes in the sim now.

After some more testing, the Camel seems to be easier for me to fly than the Dr.1, but I still need to be more careful. Bith need much ruddder for good turning and they perform superb slow speed turns. But sometimes your too slow :smiley:
Here I lost lift after some hard manouvres and dropped down from 10meters.
At least I survived.

Mine seems to lock up when starting a mission from the ground.

Its ok in the air

Anyone any ideas ?

Pish computer? Can’t hack the detail down on the ground.

Only guessing :slight_smile:

Does it meet the games requirements?

Try turning down the detail to bare minimum and see if that works first.

Love the Camel and the Dr1 but really find them a challenge to fly and fight with.

Yes they are a challange :slight_smile: But these are the most fun rides in game now. I just love them.
Its really about getting a fealing for the rudder and they turn on a dime.

Here are two single-player missions for training made with the quickmission-builder:
In first mission you fly a lonely Camel against a DFW covered by two Albatros D5.
Second mission you fly lonely Dr.1 against Breguet covered by two NP28.

And here a multiplayer mission:
2 Camels vs. 2 Dr.1.
Thats much tougher, whatever side you are flying.

Looks like the latest patch is a success so far. I’m just starting 7 days leave so I’m looking forward to getting stuck in to a campaign.

I’m off to the store to buy the Camel and DR1 when I’ve finished this post!

Had a quick blast in the Quick FLy mission last night - great fun and a good addition.

Thanks for the missions Paf, will give them a try. Fancy some online flying in the next few days?

Cheers,

WB.

It might seem like a daft question but how do I unlock the DR1 and Camel ?

Phil you have to go to the ROF store and pay for them, once paid they will be unlocked in the game automatically.

http://riseofflight.com/en/store/planes

$7.62 for each

If you don’t buy them you will still see them flying around by the AI, you are technically buying the cockpits.

hope this helps

Ahhh I see thanks for that Splash

Wow, after getting used more and more to the Camel and DR.1 im getting the fealing of being unbeatable in these (against AI ofcourse :D). Mainlesson I have learnt, use rudder even before thinking to move the stick :wink: In both planes its absolutely necessary to enter every turn with a good feal of rudder. Once your in the turn you can pull back the stick softly more and more and until youll get dizzy :slight_smile:
One problem in the Camel still remaining besides poor visibility:
Often the german planes do lefthandturns to escape. Because they are slower I often have to blip the engine while turning left. Now when in a real slow fight letting the blip off while in a left turn, gives a strong boost to the engine which puts my nose up and my plane wants to stall. There is a lot of fealing needed. And I don’t like the stalls in the Camel :rolleyes:

Mhhh, Camel is a real Ace-Maker :smiley:

OK, I finally got it (on offer in PC World.
Got to admit it looks the dog’s do-da’s, and the fighting is up close and personal

Looking forward to your EAF skins Chris!

Get it in early is my motto, sorry mate :slight_smile:

Didn’t Camels fly in Mesopotamia or somewhere like that in Africa?

I always thought that the Camel had a desert sandy-coloured skin.

Too much reading Biggles probably yes :slight_smile:
