In RoF, gamers can grab their silk scarves, goggles, and leather helmets and climb aboard one of four planes-the Spad 13.C1, Fokker D. VII, Albatross D. Va, and the Nieuport 28.C1-and witness, almost firsthand, the dawn of the fighter pilot in 1917-18.fortunately, there are more aircraft available to players. As with other developers, Neoqb offers over 30 additional aircraft as buy able content for around six Euros each at riseofflight.com.
Neoqb caught quite a bit of flak (so to speak) upon release by the paucity of flyable machines (only two were included on release, since increased to the four) and a copy protection schema that required the user to maintain an Internet connection while starting the game. But Neoqb listened to their customer’s complaints and requests for upgrades and have released eleven updates as of February 2010. A few of the updates include: a quick mission creator, video record/playback, new single and multi-seat aircraft, co-op game mode, winter season and improved sky colors. Neoqb also changed the odious Internet connection DRM protocols with update 1.011.
What sets RoF apart from most other flight games (with the possible exception of IL-2) is its scale of user customization. PC pilots are given 14 different realism options. We’re not talking about whether to give yourself unlimited fuel or easy landing modes; you can also choose to pre-warm your engine, control your radiator airflow, set your gun convergence, chose fuel and weapons load-out and many more options.
My Rise Of Flight Review movie will come soon but for a little preview check out the trailer.
