Been learning to land from Corky? :D

That was actually my first take off attempt. Haven't even got to murder any landings yet.  :D

New addition to ROF

The following is a quote from PC Pilot Magazine, Jan-Feb 2009, Page 59.

Albert Zhiltsov - "On initial release the end-user will be able to fly the legendary Albatros D.V, Fokker D.VII, Niewport 28 and SPAD 13. In our game there is no such concept as flyable and non-flyable aircraft."

Quote:
- On Friday July 10th we will give all North American and European customers the Albatros D5 and Nieuport 28 for free. We see that a misunderstanding about these aircraft has developed in the community. We would like to clear that up by making these planes available and we believe this decision will make several of our customers very happy.


Considering what was stated earlier, it is nice that 2 a/c that were to be there in the 1st place are to be free-bees.

The planes were only removed for some reason in the NA and EU release but the Russian and CIS releases included those planes.  Yeah, glad they made those planes that were removed in the NA and EU version freebies.

Actually Russians didn't get those planes. If they purchased special version of ROF, they can get one extra AC.  Aircraft that was released today is only for US /EU versions.

If I had the opportunity to buy and play the B29/A26/SpitXII/Spit21 in AH2 for a couple of quid each then I would definitely do so.

Infact, I've spent about £496 on my AH2 subscription and the only plane added which I wished for was the Spitfire Mk XVI. :( Not to mention that the 3D models in RoF are far more detailed then AH2.

Yep.  Game requires powerful computer and constant net connection. Right now there is almost no fights on the net so mostly SOF is single player - for now. When they release aircraft - AI is free to fight against.  If you want to fly it, you have to buy it.

True mate, but dont forget the many others planes that have been released. RoF is not gunna give you all the planes you wish for for certain, just more planes. The only one you wished for and are given in RoF may be the sopwith camel for example, if you get my drift.

Bat,

If a good amount of their income comes from people buying new content, be dam well sure they're going to knock out as much new content as possible.

Yeah i see what you mean, the first year should be very active with updates. But then again there is only so many aircraft that can be added before their income is going to be heavily reduced. Will they keep running the servers when the income stop completely in five years?

Then they'll release RoF2 with updated graphics and flight model to take advantage of the increase in CPU and GPU power of five years from now. Then they'll start the DLC program all over again.
