Rise of Flight - To buy or not to buy?

[onlyforbrian]

THANKS MAYBE I'LL TRY ANOTHER JOYSTICK..THE SPRING IN THE LOGITECH FEELS REALLY HEAVY, AND I NEVER TRIED IT ON il2 YET, MY il2 FLEW LIKE A DREAM WHEN I WAS USING A VERY OLD MICROSOFT 3d SIDEWINDER. ALSO, HOW DO YOU SWITCH TO BOMBER GUNNER OR CAN YOU?

Buy Rise of FLight. It's the greatest WWI sim out there, graphics, flightmodel, regular updates,... and as a sim in general it's the greatest too. Even if CoD would be even better, RoF will still be the best WWI flightsim out there. And, as you're here because you're interested in WWII aircraft, you must have at least a slight interest in WWI aircraft too and RoF is simply the best sim for that era.

Man, that Gotha bomber is a mean beast. I just love that flight model. Is one of the most fun plane to fly in any game so far. I like that flight model even more than that Black Shark.
Just gorgeous fun.
After I saw few clips from CoD, I think ROF players will addapt very quickly to the new FM. If you can fly the Gotha and the DH2 you won't have any problem with a Spit or 109.

A couple of nights in Syndicate server in ROF is the best training one can have for CoD.

ROF planes need constant imput and adjustment and dramatically more work close to stall speeds. Maybe that's why feels so different.

To use the bomber gunners you click Ctrl+C to switch to the position you want and then press T to take control of the gun. Just be careful what you shoot at. Specially when you shoot from the Gotha trough that tunel in the fuselage. I shot a bunch of holes in the belly of the plane trying to hit that sneaky Camel. Then when i finally got over the target at decent altitude, my bombs wouldn't drop. I shot the bomb release mechanism.

PM me if you want a working logitech profile (it is very difficult to fly DCS or ROF using these older sticks).

I just need to find the correct responses.
Anyone know how to make (adjust the responses of) the planes of RoF to fly as smooth as the IL2 ones?

Can´t wait to see more unorthodox planes in RoF,like the Ilya Mourumetz,the Zeppelin R.VI,the Etrich Taube,italian planes,american ones... (probably no MB-1...)

Depends on meaning of "smooth".

I have put my responses like this and it feels quite smooth to me.

I have the same roll response for every aircraft so far.


The Camel pitch


The only thing I change now is the pitch for a new aircraft to fly level
Example: the SE5 and Dr1 pitch response.


Change the response and hit save and name the response,the aircraft name is a good choice,and then you have a response curve for each one.(If you didn´t know that off course,but I wrote it anyway IF you didn´t know that... )

[bf-110]

I mean.
You hit the pitch forward key (up arrow for me) and the plane goes up only after 1 or 2 seconds,and stop going up after a few time you stopped pressing up.The responses are too late.If you understand what I mean.

If there wasn't that delay for you when you fly using the keyboard, it'd be full control deflection for every little press of the button. I'd seriously consider getting some sort of stick though if I were you.
