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.

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! ;)

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 :)

ROF is great combat sim and the best, u Can download demo game, and update for only 9,99$ and game with more planes. great game...

If you're going to be mainly playing SP I'd suggest just getting the free version then adding in whatever planes you want as you want them. I got the Iron Cross edition, but I don't fly 75% of the Aircraft that came in it. Infact, the aircraft I fly most don't come in it I don't think. I mainly fly the SE5a, Dolphin, the DH.2, Both German monoplanes, HP0400 and the CV.III (or whatever it is), as far as I remember only the SE5a came in the IC edition, all the others I've bought seperately. It is nice to have the opportunity to fly the others that come with the IC though I suppose, especially for online just incase the server has a different plane set to what you've bought.

Anyway, the dynamic campaign is excellent. Well worth it

and as single player PatWillsons Campaign generator and the avialable AI mod are very helpful and improve the gameexperience a lot !

Great info. look's like i'm gonna be busy harassing trenches and knocking down paper planes :D
