You shouldn't say that.
At least AA is working great in ROF...and so is everything else

I love RoF aswell! It got beautyful modded planes and the FM is as convincing as the Il-2 FM. For me the most important part in Flightsims. I hate the FMs in the microsoft simulators, they make you feel more like sitting in a rollercoaster as in a plane.
The landscape is mor authentic in CoD but in RoF it`s different, but also more than ok! Big advantage in RoF: It runs like hell-absolute fluid! And of course no "ghost-trees".

For me Cod is the winner, because i love adjusting and "pressing buttons". Therefor is the WWII aviation the bigger playground for me. But that says nothing about the quality of RoF!
For a fast and highly entertaining dogfight I always go for RoF-so to say, a must-buy! Especially when you`re a fan of flightsims!

I've decided to give Rise of Flight a try as well. I'm still committed to Cliffs of Dover, but after trying the free demo of Rise of Flight I'm very impressed!

You've picked the right time to be impressed too - sale now on (until 12th May): http://riseofflight.com/en/store

The scouts are currently $2.99 each, which has to be a bargain. Even this monster is only $6.99:


That was the result of a brazen attack on the Hun forward airfield on the Syndicate server on Saturday. I got there all right, dropped my 1,650-pounder right in front of the hangers, then scarpered back over the lines, pursued by Albatrosses and Pfalz's. A mad power dive for Reims (where I knew there was plenty of AA) was only partly successful, as can be seen. I got out of it alive though...

I beg to differ. I live in the region where RoF takes place, and I've already flown (in real life that is) several times over it, during different seasons. And RoF has a beautiful landscape, that really looks like the landscape I can look at with my own eyes when in flight. CoD, from what I've seen when playin' the game over le France, has poor textures and "weird" colors... Unless the landscape turns into something completely different when flying to the North and beyond the Hill...oops I'm losing my mind. But you get my point.

RoF is really the best a sim can currently offer when it comes to "authenticity".
It's still a game, of course.

And I'm not even a RoF fanboy, in fact I find the game boring. But I'm aware of its qualities, and the landscape is one of them.

Ok, back to 1946!
