Rise of Flight - To buy or not to buy?

[mazex]

Adding to the chorus... Buy it. I bought it day one after waiting for years but in the first versions I did not like the flight model that was too "twitchy" and felt rough, but now after a number of patches it's really the only other sim that gives me a believable feeling of flying accept IL2 or course (and I have been flying IRL for 25 years). The new dogfight mode with airfields that can be captured is a lot of fun - but an accessory that you really need for full appreciation is TrackIR (a lot of wings covering you view )

Buy it. Is a stunning well made Sim. I fly in RoF's servers like Syndicate almost all night.

Indeed buy it, its an excellent ww1 combat simulator, and defiantly on par with the other hardcore simulators out there such as IL2 even if the depth doesn't go as far.

Very nice simulator - I can only recommend it.

It's receiving frequent updates and upgrades and already has grown a lot compared to the initial release.

Graphics are nice on lowest setting as well. With these, you can play it on almost any PC. If you want all the details and the shadows, I recommend a multi-core PC and Vista/Win 7, as well as a strong graphics card.

ROF doesn't even have a static campaign, let alone a dynamic one. At least COD will have a static campaign set up. I'll buy COD but I have yet to even consider ROF. One main reason combat sims are dying is because devs are too lazy to create much offline content.
It's well known that most sim players like offline. I play 99% offline, only go online to do something different for a change.

They are adding a pilot career mode, much like red baron 2's, one reason why im going to get it, and because it looks like a good game.

I dont know if CoD will include a pilot career mode on release since there's no dynamic campaign i'm thinking there wont be, hopefully they'll have one later on in a update or addon.?

There are scripted singleplayer campaigns for both sides in CoD.

Try again. There are three static campaigns that ship with the game: one a training campaign, one for the Central Powers, and one for the Allied Powers.

.

Too lazy? I have never seen a small team work so hard and deliver so much as the RoF team did. I'm pretty sure the same goes for the CoD team.

You must be one of those strange creatures that think by throwing insults they'll get what they want. Or is that just how your parents raised you?
