and Being a Hammers fan is one of the most difficult things I have ever done, and when I saw these I almost fell out of my seat laughing.

well of course we rock, what did you expect from the best simming site on the web?

The demo is now unlimited for time, so you can try it. I seriously doubt you'll come anywhere near 60FPS, unless you have a super modern, all the bells and whistles, no money spared gaming rig. The"versions"are just updates. since 777 studioes bought the game, it has had 20 updates and counting. I will you, if you are interested in WW1 flight sims, then this one is the very best around, hands down.

it was a great ending to the World Cup, but I hate to say it, the U.S. gifted them the match. The first equalizer was a total defensive blunder(which I thought only my beloved West Ham United were able to pull off). The shoot out was a total lack of confidence on the U.S. part. To the team from Japan they worked to make chances, and took advantage of theirs, the U.S. didn't full credit to the winners on the day.

Get the Rise of Flight demo...try it. There is now NO time limit on it. get it HERE

just saw this as a sig on a forum i visit, almost spit my coffee of the screen! http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m125/payne4444/fancyfootwork.gif

The scenery is still a work in progress, hang in there on that one. The key mapping and the ability to set your stick responses are nice, yeah it takes a bit longer, but in the end well worth the time. The MP for me has been some of the most fun I've had since RB3D. I mean it is smooth and solid, But then I only fly in the 95th servers. The flight models are also being worked on. they are trying as hard as they can to get them as close to real as possible. Hang in there on this one also. They are working on them.

What's sad is, in a way since West Ham were relegated I won't have to deal with their dribble and can enjoy some decent announcers for a year, wish they could promote announcers. The only good thing from being relegated is some nice quiet time.

I saw this and just had to share it and the laugh I got from it! Unless you watch sky sports it's hard to understand just how much these folks can get on your nerves. http://a.imageshack.us/img819/9634/f32e6bfbfb3444afae44a3d.gif

The demo is now unlimited, I mean no time limit! so you want to try the new standard for WW1 flight sims without a time limit? Then go download it and try it! download the Demo HERE

S! J5, just wanted to let everyone know this is a great squadron. Look forward to flying against you in many upcoming war nights. The US 95th has also made the move to RoF.

In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that she should bring her own grocery bag because plastic bags weren't good for the environment. The woman apologized to him and explained, "We didn't have the green thing back in my day." The clerk responded, "That's our problem today. The former generation did not care enough to save our environment." He was right, that generation didn't have the green thing in its day. Back then, they returned their milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But they didn't have the green thing back in that customer's day. In her day, they walked up stairs, because they didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. They walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time they had to go two blocks. But she was right. They didn't have the green thing in her day. Back then, they washed the baby's diapers because they didn't have the throw-away kind. They dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts - wind and solar power really did dry the clothes. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that old lady is right; they didn't have the green thing back in her day. Back then, they had one TV, or radio, in the house - not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief, not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, they blended and stirred by hand because they didn't have electric machines to do everything for you. When they packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, they used a wadded up old newspaper to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, they didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. They used a push mower that ran on human power. They exercised by working so they didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she's right; they didn't have the green thing back then. They drank from a fountain when they were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time they had a drink of water. They refilled their writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and they replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But they didn't have the green thing back then. Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or rode the school bus instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. They had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And they didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint. But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful the old folks were just because they didn't have the green thing back then?

I don't care where he's buried, as long as he is buried. I saw that one a week or so ago, and started using it then. Great sig pic.

Like I said, if you use a Kindle from amazon, my cookbook is there now. My Book, check it out if you have one, or are thinking about getting one.

I'll post most news on there. be sure to post your news and thoughts, plus your experiences here.

Just read this on the Rise of Flight news page. Field Modifications Dear Pilots, Today we would like to show you some surprise items coming to ROF that you will be able to experience on your computer soon. It's fun to work with such an enthusiastic team because they always put in extra hours and sometimes this extra effort is spent researching new technologies or ideas and surprise breakthroughs are the result. One such idea is the creation of WWI Gunsights! Since the creation of the British S.E.5a, many of you have asked us to create an "Aldis" sight for it. We never ignored this idea and we knew that we would be able to do it at some point in the future. For instance, attachments points for this sight have been installed on the aircraft since its first release. Amazingly, the future arrived sooner than we thought and soon you will have the opportunity to add the Aldis to your plane. This simple idea, combined with an interesting engineering solution, allowed WWI pilots to have a more accurate aim. We tried not only to reproduce the look of the instrument, but also accurately convey how it works. Certain German planes will also have a special gunsight available to help them aim. It will be available in two versions, for day and night use. The day sight will be equipped with an additional filter that allows the reticule to be seen even in bright light. The in-game execution of this filter will be simulated in the project very realistically. After finishing principle work on these sights, we decided to expand the work and adopt an idea that was first requested on the forum. Some of the guys decided to put in extra time to make even more equipment available and for many more aircraft in ROF. As a result, we will offer you additional purchasing options on our website to equip your favorite aircraft with what we are calling “Field Modifications”. Current ROF policy is to provide airplanes in a factory fresh state. This means new aircraft come to the front with equipment options our research has told us equipped these planes as default. As has been pointed out to us on the forum and from widely available data regarding the history of aviation technology of the First World War, we know that many aircraft were fine-tuned by mechanics and additional equipment was added to front-line aircraft. Talented individuals created many small improvements that made piloting early combat planes much easier. These changes were adopted based on hard won experience and often at the cost of a pilot’s life. But even more lives were saved with the help of these modifications and they helped bring glory to victorious to pilots who were able to use these enhancements in combat. The most common modifications in the field was the installation of additional devices such as altimeters, temperature sensors, clocks, compasses, fuel level indicators and lamps for night lighting – some of these items were even taken from downed enemy aircraft and were installed on friendly machines. Sometimes these were trophies, passing from one pilot to another or items purchased from mechanics or traded for with other squadrons. For instance, German fighter aircraft often used RAF gunsights. Our Field Modification program gives an opportunity to experience a similar system by outfitting different planes with their respective Field Mod kits. You will soon be able to buy these filed modifications in our store. They were created for each aircraft individually, based on already installed equipment and therefore will have different prices. For some aircraft in the package there will be up to nine items and for some only a single item. The cost of the most expensive field modification for one aircraft is currently $5.00 and the lowest is just $1.00. We will also offer Field Mod bundles so you can outfit many planes at a time for a reduced overall cost. You can choose which devices to install on your aircraft before each mission in the hangar. You can install all modifications for an aircraft or combinations of them. The exceptions are gunsights, some planes were able to use a couple different gunsights, but you can use only one gunsight at a time. We hope that such attention to detail will please you. If this idea proves to be popular with our community, we can develop some more cool stuff in this direction and in the future we may be able to offer you different options for modifying weapon load outs for aircraft including some rare options. An example of this could be an additional machine gun on a top wing for several planes, or rear-view mirrors or cutting out sections of the upper wing to improve visibility and many other unique engineering solutions invented during the First World War. Good luck in your flights and keep watching our News blog for more news!

I didn't know that, WOW over a year ago. From what I have read they are having some issues with their FPS due to the epilespy filter. IF I decided to try Cliffs, it will be awhile.

It seems to be true, Oleg Maddox has left 1c. After reading it at first I wanted to try and make sure before I posted it. It seems true. Here's a few places to read more UBI Forums also more talk. I'll try to find out more.

Sorry guys, but the Braves will win one for Bobby(a late retirement gift!)

Some details about the new Сareer Mode Dear pilots, We would like to give you some details about our new Career Mode that we have been working on so diligently over the past several months. This has been one of the most complex and challenging features we have every made. Below you will find a tentative list of the features it should include when released. To be honest, this has taken longer than expected, but we also added some more items that we knew the community wanted to see. Again, this list is tentative and some items may not make it due to poor test results or bugs, but this is what we hope to include. Covers 700 days of the Great War. More days may be added if we build planes from even earlier in the war. Continued promotion through the ranks. Changing Weather with Seasonal Textures (Summer, Autumn and Winter). New Titles and Awards. More than 15 different types of missions. New types of gameplay, such as adjusting artillery fire or photo reconnaissance, with new interactive elements and equipment such a wireless radio and/or camera added to your plane. You can also watch real-time changes in the world based on the results of your actions such as corrected artillery fire. A higher level of interactivity and randomness during missions, for example, flying close to an enemy's airfield could trigger enemy fighters to intercept you. Combines your personal statistics, events and achievements with real history. Interactive map of hostilities with information about current operations at the front and the location of various units and squadrons. Historically correct squadron’s location and re-locations. Historically correct automatic mission completion by A.I. pilots in missions not involving the player using a new technique we developed. Historically correct awards and conditions for awards. Realistic calendar of European Weather Virtual "Newspaper", depicting timely events at the front, new inventions in science and technology, and list of important aces published on a regular basis. All virtual A.I. squadron mates have their own names, grow in rank and abilities, go the hospital if needed and receive awards for their actions. Ability to meet historic allied or enemy aces in combat situations. If you kill a famous enemy ace he will not re-appear and his kill total will stop in the press. Ability to be transferred to another squadron with promotion in rank. Realistic attrition of personnel and material in your squadron. Repair of damaged aircraft and hospitalization of wounded pilots. Ability to use a custom paintjob after 5 kills. Opportunity to become a squadron commander and plan missions. Planning includes the selection of pilots and aircrafts, which will participate in your flight. Editing a route: choice of range, move waypoints, a height indicator, buildings types, speeds and altitudes. Many new villages, town and industrial areas added to the map along with windsocks at airfields. These are the basic elements of the new Career mode we hope to include. Not only are we are trying to create aninteresting Career for you, but also trying to add some interesting information about the squadrons that participated in the Great War. So you will have an opportunity not only to read about the history, but also to participate in it. Arobust system with the ability to model all the activities and sorties of a particular squadron on an everyday basis during WWI was just a dream until now. In essence, when we combine the historical aspect with the new Career mission generator we will create something more, in our mind, than just a game or simulation. To us, this has the potential to become a kind of “interactive encyclopedia” or “interactive atlas” of aerial warfare during the Great War. So we are now proceeding to the testing stage of its development and we hope to have it ready for release soon. Since this is such a complicated feature we cannot give you a firm release date yet. And we apologize for that, butwe don’t want to make any empty promises. As soon as we can give you a date for release we will. Also, we invite you to participate in helping us add some historical and fun biographical information to thebackground portion of the new Career mode. Please check out this thread.

777 Studios has released their latest update for Rise of Flight, here is what is new and the fixed with it. Dear Rise of Flight customers! Rise of Flight team have completed development of the new version of the project - 1.018. This version contains two major features: German multipurpose plane DFW C.V is now available for player controlling, night time graphics was changed to provide more realism in night sorties. Plus, this version is also contains several different changes which should improve the quality of your gameplay. Also, we have uploaded and approved new skinspacks which are contains 313 new skins. This version is named 1.018, and now it’s ready to update and play. After this release Rise of Flight team have forwarded to our new big checkpoint - New Career final development. We wish you to have a new joy with this new plane in our project! Features list of version 1.018 1. DFW C.V German multipurpose plane is now available for player controlling 2. Night graphics have become more real, now it is much darker on standart graphics settings, HDR now not affecting at Night, Gamma correction range was reduced 3. Community Historical Skins Pack vol.6 was approved 4. Community Fictional Skins Pack vol.6 was approved 5. Official Skins Pack ver.1.018 was approved Other changes list of version 1.018 1. Trucks and Trains now always falling when trying to cross demolished bridgesection 2. Handley Page 0/400 nose gunner animations were corrected, now it is not disappearing when rotating camera aside of him 3. MG Fire/Reload input commands manes were corrected (left/right were replaced by 1st/2nd) 4. Quick Mission now generates moonlit nights Links for downloading the Skins Packs Also, we have opened our own tracker for "Rise of Flight version 1.018 installer" and now you're able to download this installer using this torrent. We and whole Rise of Flight community will be grateful to you if you will become a seeder for this torrent.

So, for the implementation of Photo Reconnaissance flights or missions involving the Correction of Artillery you'll need some new equipment. This means a Camera and an Airborne Telegraph. As it often happens, it’s the little details that set ROF apart and we know you could not live without them so we have decided to work hard on these new elements. As always, we decided to try and not deviate from the principles of high detail and maximum accuracy in the reproduction of these new missions, so the camera and the telegraph became full-fledged 3D models and consequently, new equipment which you can outfit your plane with before flight. The camera and telegraph will make their debut in Version 19 on the DFW C.V. and the upcoming Breguet 14B. The camera was also mounted on SPAD aircraft. So the SPAD will get it as well. The in-game mechanics and interfaces of these new interactive mission types are still being worked on, but so far in testing they have proven to be great fun and add even more immersion to ROF. More on this as we move closer to Version 19 release. In Version 19 a new flyable aircraft, the Breguet 14B, will rise into the ROF sky. In addition to the intelligence gathering functions, it can also act as a medium bomber with a range of different bombing options. The B14 was a very interesting plane to build and for the Team, it is one of the most beloved aircraft we have ever built for all of ROF. I am pleased to present to you a few pictures. You can now pre-order the Breguet 14B in our Store for just $8.99 prior to version 1.019 release. Your pre-orders help fuel our development plans so please consider pre-ordering this beautiful bird! You may have spotted something else new in the images above? We have added a new graphical element to our engine – misty morning fog that evaporates! Its existence and appearance depends on the position of the sun and the seasons. As the sun rises it burns off and as the temperature drops it appears. We think this new ground hugging animated fog may be another combat flight simulation first. Please correct us if we are wrong. The inclusion of misty morning fog will make mornings and afternoons in Western France even more realistic and will add a nice sensation to departures. Many thanks to all those who have stayed with us! We all know there is another sim out there who is vying for your attention and we know it can be distracting, but the current development status of ROF is at a crucial juncture and we need your support now more than ever! As always, we try to ensure that your support is transformed into new elements in the project and always with the highest quality of work and often for the first time in the genre. We still have some new innovative ideas we want to implement and more content to create for you. Good luck in your flights and please wait for further news!

I went ahead a copied the blog here. I was actually planning on posting earlier, so many thanks to catch for posting for everyone. Dear pilots, Today we have prepared some good news for you. The first bit of news is about the release of Version 18 which will include the German DFW C.V. aircraft. The final preparations have begun and pretty soon you'll be able to take her into the air. The DFW as you might imagine has some predictable and good performance characteristics. It’s stable both in air and in the run-up with a pretty comfortable landing. It does not spin that easily, but its corkscrew characteristics are very interesting. Depending on the altitude and direction of rotation it will require different methods of recovery. Some spins are more difficult to recover from than others. This plane was a workhorse of the German air force in WWI so you will get a lot of practice on this plane. Looking ahead to the next update which will be Version 19 we see another large milestone ahead. The main part of this version will be the newly re-designed game mode called "Career" that you have been expecting. We think this will cause you to look at ROF from a completely different angle. As we have mentioned before, this new Career Mode is technically challenging and ambitious and no doubt will have some teething issues upon release, but it is in testing and we are continuing to make solid progress. But before we discuss the Career mode any further I would like to highlight some other new in-game features that are in the shadow of this rising star. So, for the implementation of Photo Reconnaissance flights or missions involving the Correction of Artillery you'll need some new equipment. This means a Camera and an Airborne Telegraph. As it often happens, it’s the little details that set ROF apart and we know you could not live without them so we have decided to work hard on these new elements.
