Rise of flight buy or not?

[ATAG_Doc]

You should buy whatever strikes you as interesting and fun.

If you enjoy it then its money well spent.

No one can answer the question whether or not that you will like it. Only you can answer that.

Some people hate broccoli and others crave it. But at the end of the day there is a substantial market for it regardless if I decide I don't.

With 6 billion people inhabiting our world, if half of them turned over their couch cushions and gave you a single penny that fell from someones pocket you would have over 15 million dollars. But if 10,000 people decided not to give you that penny you would not notice it.

Well, caved in and bought the ICE though i actually intended to buy the ultra upgrade containing all the planes. Oh, well... that's how it goes when shopping dead tired
To bad they don't have optional upgrade packs with planes.

well, now i need to find some engine management guides

I bought RoF when it was released and have bought later all the aditional planes and items.

I dont play it much, but I think that COD is a piece of "history of aviation" that has come to life in the form of a game. And that is worth supporting, even if I don´t play that much.

I know I have spend quite a few euros on that, but I know it will be waitnig for me until I have a "WWI era boost". Right now I am in a WWII phase.

IMHO, the must have trilogy is

ROF,COD and BMS

that covers pretty much all the "eras", but damm, I wish someone released a Vietnam era sim with the quality of the sims in my trilogy

Falcon 4 BMS 4.32

A hardcore F-16 simm. Old (F4, not the BMS version), but terrific.

This is a good place to start, the new RoF manual is very good...

Check out Requiems videos on YouTube. They're very well done and cover a wide range of aircraft

Thanks again. Need all the info i can get.
I have to say that the Career mode is damn nice. It brings back memories from the old Amiga times when i played "Wings"

Also, some of the planes are insane to fly. I am all over the place flying a paper kite in a storm lol.
One thing's for sure. The pilots in WWI had some big balls.

They've got a very helpful community as well, Raggz. Don't be shy to ask questions on their forums.

I gotta admit I love RoF. Mind you, I have a family connection to the era: My Grandfather was in a pilot in the RFC/ RAF 1917-19. Can't wait for their next release: DH4.... The plane he flew. Been waiting for a good simulation of it for years!!
