Default Rise of flight buy or not?

I am one mouse click away from buying Rise of flight Iron Cross edition.
But being more fond of singel player than multi-player i would like to know if the campaigns are good. Are they dynamic or static?

Anyone that can share some experienced info?

And is it any point buying the iron cross edition when the plan is mostly SP with occasionally MP?

Thanks!

I don't play ROF in SP myself, but for the little I've tried the campaign system is well done, even if it's still in beta status.
If you want, install the free to play version and try it out ! You have acces to the career mode for the two free planes, i.e SPAD XIII and Albatros Dva.

There's also a third party campaign generator that many people seem to like.

What personally puts me a bit off with SP is the A.I. which I find quite boring and not very diversified, but I think that years of MP have definitely spoiled SP in flight sims for me...

With ICE you have some neat planes that will allow you to fly most Missions in MP, except maybe some early war scenarios.

They have made some big positive changes to the AI in the latest patch I believe, and if you get the free version you can also download current and future patches and choose what aircraft to buy from there.

For anyone sitting on the fence about RoF you cant go wrong trying it for free.

I'd say it depends on how much you're about to pay for it and which a/c you'd like to fly.

I bought the Iron Cross edition myself, which was a bit daft because I only fly the RFC planes. The free download plus some DLC RFC planes would've been more sensible for me, but I bought it about a month before they introduced the free download. Typical!

But, RoF is an excellent sim which I tend to fly offline mostly. The career mode is excellent. Ditto the campaigns.

Download the free version, then buy a/c as you see fit would be my take on it, unless ICE is going cheaper than it would be to buy all those a/c.

Just do the sums and see which works out best for you.

Thanks for all the answers. I just tried the free version and it seems damn nice. Think i'm going for it

I started an offline campaign.. played a few mission.. it all seemed very well done, but I did not fly it enough to really coment on it.. The online play is just too good to pass up!

It's a free download now, so why not? It's not like they're going to force you to buy any planes or anything.

I've collected a few of my favourite planes over the years. When COD gets stale for me I might even be able to spend some time in the sim.

I just wish those trees would stop turning around to stare at me. It gives me the heebeegeebees!

Cheers
