How about this site (same film, different site):

Shame if you can't view it as it shows off Rise of Flight's graphics and new Career Mode very well (mission briefings, maps, newspaper cuttings, awards & medals, all from in game), even bought a tear to my eye when he gets killed at the end.  :cry

New Campaign system?  I bought RoF shortly after it was first released.  I bought a few of the planes as they were released.  Quit playing.  Just recently, I have been playing it some offline.  What is this new Campaign system you speak of?

Pick an airframe make a Bio for your person, pick a squadron and a date in which that group fought and away you go.

short version, it is more dynamic with real names on the wingmen you fly with and the enemy. For instance you might come up against a famous pilot in your sortie and the icon will let you know. When your wingmen die they are replaced, etc. The actual missions are less repetitive and predictable too. It's more of a dynamic war than a series of single mission with nameless partakers.

That starts to remind me if the good old Red Baron dynamic campaigns. I have always wondered why most sims went back to crappy static campaigns.

YES!  I was always confused why that never caught on.  Red Baron was far from perfect, but that part of it was excellent.  You never knew what you were in for on a mission, even from campaign to campaign.

I've been contemplating taking a gander at RoF...  I may just do that now.

Wow!

I hadn't logged in Online for a long time I guess.  I had never seen those campaigns!  I just did an Early war mission in an Eindecker.  It was pretty darn fun!

The free Unlimited Rise of Flight Demo includes full access to Career B Mode, so you can try it out without making any purchases.

Each sorties result caries forward to the next, medals, promotion, a few days in the hospital, etc, based on how your doing.

Your limited to just the squadrons that flew the aircraft you have purchased (The demo comes with the SPAD 13 and Albatros D.Va for free, although you can add any aircraft you like from the ROF store to the demo version).

Career B Mode was based on calls for something like the old Red Baron, but they have far surpassed it.  :D

Try the Career B mode PFactor, the Campaigns are the old style more scripted version.
