Downloaded it last night, gonna try it out a bit later today. Good show 777!:)

Tried the new career mode last night and to fly in any of the early war squadron you need add on aircraft.

Luckily I already had the Focker monoplane.

Cheers!

Great news thanks. I tried the demo ages ago and loved it - the sensation of flying an aeroplane was like none I'd had before. I had entertained ideas of buying the iron cross edition but never did. I'll surely be getting it now though... and who knows I might end up buying the sopwith camel.

Great stuff.. go for it !!! The Sim run real smooth and has as well SLI/CF support !!!

Has the RoF team fixed any of the old planes, or are they just adding new ones to keep the money coming in?

I was talking in general.

They know how to sell a game... ;)

I had always stayed away from this game, but was always marvelled by some of the beautiful screenshots and videos that were being produced by its users..
I think now I may be tempted to 'have a look' and see if it draws me in in the same way IL2 did years ago.
If it does, I'll probably purchase it :)

you have not to purchase the game when you download it now.
You are just limited to two planes.
when i bought the original releaseversion in of RoF in 2009 i had only 4 planes....

you just CAN purchase more planes - aka cockpits - but all the game features are for free now.

777 realy should not call that DEMO anymore.......................
