I received mine after pre-orderingYou can tell right away this is a great Combat Flight Sim...the potential for the future seems limitless. I received mine after pre-ordering it (original Rise of Flight release) and have been enjoying it ever since. Like all new games there were a few bugs and areas that needed to be refined, but those have all been addressed. What is exceptionally nice is that you have developers who have been continuing to work and further develop this game.

    I just wanted to thank the developers for a great game, and I am still looking to the future with continued hope as this WWI Combat Flight Sim gets better and better.

    This is now the definitive WWI Combat Flight Sim, and perhaps the definitive Combat Flight Sim.

It is a very fun game, even though many of the planes are Not fully accurate and the actual in game flight is Not even close to actual flight of these wonderful old planes.
    I have a friend who actually owns a WW II P-40 and a WW I bi-plane, and I have been fortunate enough to have been up in both of these planes. The bi-plane doesn't jump all over the place when it is flying. It is actually pretty smooth after you take off, although there is vibration, and the is open to the wind and weather. It was a GREAT experience. I can just imagine bearing down on another of these planes in combat. These planes are touchy, and they did require maintenance. The Ones In This Game Need A Lot Of Maintenance!! They are hard to fly and you will need a descent joy stick or if you want to go All Out a stick and rudder pedals. It is a good game. My pilot friend told me that the tri wing planes planes handled better than the bi wing models. Anyway, that's my experience. I recommend the game because it is a fun game.... but Not an accurate flight sim.    … Full Review »

    Rise of Flight is a great flight sim and probably the best WWI sim since Red Baron.

    The graphics are exceptional and the planes are depicted in amazing detail. While I'm no expert on the flight characteristics of WWI aircraft, the planes in Rise of Flight handle like the books suggest they should - the rotaries have serious torque, the triplanes climb nicely, and Camel is a spin waiting to happen. There are options to simplify the flight models in various ways, but each of the planes remains unique in its own way. And all are a pleasure to fly with any standard joystick.

    In addition to the scouts, flyable two-seaters and bombers are available, and you can man the gun turrets in them.

    The graphics and flight model variety come with a cost: Rise of Flight requires an upper mid-level system to run well. Take the system requirements seriously.

    The game has numerous scripted and quick missions, and a few mini campaigns, but it currently lacks a robust campaign system ala Red Baron. The developer has one scheduled for the next update, though. The product is very well supported with periodic updates and has an active multiplayer community. There also are a wide variety of user-made airplane skins, many of which the developer has added to the official game.

    The game requires online activation upon first installation and for updates, but can be played in offline mode otherwise. As anti-piracy measures go, it's pretty benign.

    Rise of Flight is a very good flight sim that continues to improve and is a worthy successor to Red Baron.    … Full Review »
