Über das Spiel

Rise of Flight is the most realistic WWI PC flight simulation ever created. Take to the skies of war torn Europe and experience daring air combat at the dawn of aviation. Re-enact famous air battles fought by legendary aces such as Manfred von Richtofen, James McCudden, Georges Guynemer and Eddie Rickenbacker. Rise of Flight transports you to a time when courageous pilots fought each other for control of the sky high above the bloody trenches. In aircraft made of canvas and wood they battled to the death. While some survived to become legends, most met a fiery fate. Do you have the skills and the courage to become an Ace?

The free-to-play Rise of Flight United is just the beginning of your adventure. There are 35 additional flyable aircraft available for purchase along with additional content from the Steam store in the form of content packs. These packs include not only airplanes and additional theaters of war, but other helpful items such as Field Modifications and Weapon Modifications for your aircraft which can help you be a more effective combat pilot. The Rise of Flight universe continues to expand with new flyable aircraft and game updates added on a regular basis. The sky knows no limit.

The free-to-play Rise of Flight United allows you to:
  • Pilot three fighter planes (Spad 13, Albatros D.Va and Nieuport 17 by Dux plant) with all their modifications included against any planes in the game.
  • Access Training campaign, Quick Mission Builder, Career mode and pilot the aircraft you have in multiplayer.
  • Enjoy advanced graphics featuring High Dynamic Range (HDR) lighting, blinding sun glare, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, dark moonlit nights with stars and realistic looking raindrops and oil splatter on pilot goggles.
  • Experience a cutting edge flight-sim with advanced flight-models, adjustable difficulty settings, a complex physics engine and an industry leading progressive damage model.
  • Practice teamwork with your friends by manning additional gunner positions. You get unlimited access as a gunner to multi-crew airplanes in Multiplayer matches. Protect your plane’s six o’clock!
  • Endure G-effects with blackout, red out and wounded pilot effects featuring blood splatter, ringing ears and control difficulty.
  • Explore huge maps of Western and Eastern fronts of World War I.

Ich hab das Spiel schon ewig aber nie lange gespielt... damals.. vor langer langer zeit hat es echt spass gemacht auf den Newbie Servern mit anderen zu zocken aber heute?? einfach Trostlos...

Im multiplayer nichts mehr los und die Karriere ist auch völlig lieblos und trostlos gestaltet. Dazu kommen die ewigen Probleme mit der Verbindung zu den Servern. und hier ist auch das Problem, hast du einen guten Einsatz gehabt und man freut sich darüber geht einfach zu oft die Verbindung verloren. Das bedeutet das der Einsatz nicht gespeichert wird und man diesen Wiederholen darf... Das passiert einfach zu oft.

Abgesehen davon ist der Karrieremodus einfach total lieblos dahin geklatscht. Null Feeling, keine langzeit motivation. Wenn Red Baron 3 nicht augenkrebs verursachen würde, würde ich den aufjedenfall vorziehen.

Sehr sehr sehr schlechte Steuerung. Viel zu viele Tasten für die Kopfsteuerung reserviert. Frage wann soll man die bedienen im Luftkampf???? Entweder ich nutze den Colihead die Maus oder Track IR. Nach dem entfernen der Flugsteuerungstasten, da Joystick vorhanden, kein Druck mehr auf den FF-Motoren. 1C ist doch auch bei IL2 drin warum unterstützen die so einen Schrott. Grafik ist ok und mit einer vernünftigen Steuerung die sich einfach konfigurieren lässt wäre es ein guter Simulator. Kaum Server max 1-2 Spieler daran sieht man wie komplziert alles in diesem Game ist. Ach fast vergessen, Sound beim Start viel viel viel viel zu laut. Man muss den Lautstärkeregler fast auf 0 stellen und das ist noch zu laut und ich weiss das ich schon sehr schlecht höre. Beim nächsten Start dann über haupt keinen Sound einfach nur nervig.
Da bleibe ich lieber bei IL2-Flying Circus. Alles viel einfacher zu konfigurieren.

Ich habe es leider nicht geschafft, dass mein Joystick vom Spiel erkannt wird und auch die Einstellungen im Spiel sind sehr dürftig.
Dass man sich eine Mission suchen muss, welche man auch machen kann ohne endlos Geld für Flugzeuge auszugeben finde ich auch schade. Die Idee ist ja gut - die Umsetzung leider nicht so ganz-

Absolut unspielbares Game selbst auf einfach eingestellten Flugeigenschaften nach 7 std nicht einen Abschuß möglich, im Offlinemodus gegen KI Flugzeuge , keine Chance , Das eigene ein extra besseres gekauftes Flugzeug (ACE) geht ständig kaputt und du schaffst es nicht eine nicht so gute Ki Maschiene mit schlechteren Flugeigenschaften auch nur ansatzweise zu jagen oder abzuschießen.
Spielespaß geht schnell verloren.
einen Stern für schöne Grafik,
aber ansonsten,
ach ja die Post der anderen Spieler, kann ich nicht nachvollziehen ,
sind das alles Profi Piloten mit Flugschein ???
Oder auch nur Botts ??
Vielleicht bin ich ja auch nur zu dumm zum Fliegen ??

Trying to get onto this game is painful

Apparently my License Key needs activated - re-downloaded (never had this problem before) also checked the forums for a solution and there were numerous people who had bought DLC and still couldn't play , plus a slow response from devs and a website which is confusing - just buy other flight sims

Plus you need to buy everything the only thing that is free, is the oxygen XD

Unparalleled flight model and simulation for a Free-to-play. If you prefer WW1, this throws Warthunder under the bus and is a helluva lot cheaper than IL2: Flying Circus. Sadly, MP is all but dead. You will need to play with friends or coordinate through Reddit/ROF Forums to find games.

Considering have not despite having full controller sets available have not played serious flight sims for many, many years, have them all the original Sturmovik, 1946, Wings of Prey, and Rowans BOB 2, plus all the CFS2, CFS3 issues, ect, mainly I dabbled in them just enjoying the odd attempt t actually flying in them, more seriously B17 which I actually became quite good at!. With the recent steam sale seemed worth having another look so purchased the IL2 - Sturmovik plus some dlc and Rise of Flight and some dlc during the recent sale. Well I cheated a few flights using autopilot and using the available auto to help with raiators and fuel mixtures, although at first to new players plethora of controls can seem daunting most can be left to auto until confident and autopilot can normally get you out of a pickle, should you forget something important! The in game training modules and the immense amount of guides and help from veteran players can really make the job of learning to fly these aircraft either from scratch or as a new player less frustrating.
I very quickly rediscovered the early joy of flying or attempting to fly these classic aircraft and found the helpful guides, ect made doing it so much easier and with a more modern machine the ability to ramp up the graphics really just adds to that. Time to dust off some of the others sims gathering dust in the cub board and load up again, this time I am determined to become more proficient, started some careers in IL2 and Rise of Flight and id using auto pilot whilst gradually on further flights taking more and more control so far so good.

Havent played for a while... Must be three years or so... I start the game fly a quick mission.. The controls are pretty bad.. .hard to adjust and complicated. But after 1 hour of turning off and restarting the game i finally got the controls working. Ok good to go. Back to my carreer. Flying a few missions. Decent graphics. Not great, but nice sunset... a little bad controls as mentioned but fun. Even got promoted. That game is really much fun. Wonder why I havent played this long. After the third Mission the game tells me i can not fly any more missions, because i do not own any of the planes my squadron uses... I C.. I remember... thats why i quit the game... These people know where the money grows... But ok they got me, i went on steam. By chance the planes are 70% off on steam sale... I gave it a try.... So i am on patrol again....

Set throttle to minimum, zoom sight in, diving down, the balloon in sight. .50 ... . 45 ... .. 40 Fire all guns! But wait, where has the balloon gone? Maybe I overG´d? OK, turn right leaving balloon area. No Problem, there is a plane in reachable position. No AA exploding near it - so it must be hostile since I am in enemy territory. As i come near the plane i tells me it is an enemy bomber. I prepare for attack. The plane is gone again. o.o... I look back where I see the balloon. A little frustrated I fly further to finish the mission. There I have my chance! Three newports comming in. After a hard an joyfull dog fight i downed two of em! While i tured the speed down to a quarter and want to get the final shot - The game crashes.

Frustrating. ... For so much money so bugged. Shame on you developer. Shame on you....

Rise of Flight is an enjoyable First World War flight simulator. Having played a lot of them over the years - Wings of Glory, Red Baron 3D, and the Over Flanders Fields series, I can say that Rise of Flight brings a high level of fidelity to its flight modeling. Having never piloted a Sopwith Camel or Fokker Eindecker, it's hard to say if it is more or less realistic than other sims, but RoF does a good job of capturing the nervous, finicky, and often dangerous nature of flying a machine made of wood and canvas.

Graphically the sim has held up well over the years and runs extremely well on my current setup - which is a modest Dell XPS 8700 from 2015 sporting an upgraded GPU with an nVidia 1050ti. Flying over the Western Front is beautiful and the planes themselves are fun to fly, requiring a fairly constant level of attention just to keep some of them pointing in the right direction.

The game falls a bit short in two criteria. It's single player content - offered in the form of scripted campaigns and a dynamic career mode - work well, but feel a bit sparsely populated when compared to sims like Over Flanders Fields. The AI is also lacking, with aircraft falling into predictable patterns of turn fighting at a somewhat leisurely bank, allowing you to easily catch them and shoot them down.

That said, the AI is easily corrected with VonS' AI mod, which can be found on the ROF message boards and installed simply using JSGME. You can also use Pat Wilson's excellent dynamic campaign generator. I haven't used Pat's program (I do remember Pat from his days making the Western Front Patch for Red Baron 3D), but I have heard nothing but positive things about it.

Finally, cost of entry. RoF is a pretty expensive offer at retail price. However, if you catch a Steam sale, you can easily bag all of the DLC and have a complete RoF collection for about $45, which is more than reasonable. Don't forget to visit the RoF boards (https://riseofflight.com/) and download the thousands of aircraft paint schemes that the community has made over the past decade.

???? Point of Interest ✔️ Positive Negative ????Ideas ???? Video Link Star Point


FINAL REVIEW


???? Dated yet incredibly realistic flight model, damage model and overall physics.

✔️I love WWI aerial style combat & here it looks and sounds incredible.
✔️Despite the sheer brutality of it all there was an essence of Honesty, Respect & Gentlemanly fair play about these up close and personal dog fights.
✔️You can even speak to your foe! (in MP) or pull out your pistol and shoot them.
✔️The AC are spectacular, I think I own them ALL.
✔️Can be played quite well without buying ANY Additional DLC...although....Often on sale.
✔️Career mode.
✔️It is hard to master these AC, flying is only just capable, throw in weapons and acrobatics!!
✔️Nostalgia (WWI + Biggles it's all there).
✔️Flight Teams under your control.
✔️Multiplayer also works.
✔️Community & modding.

❌No VR sadly.
❌It is a little dated and a little clunky, with NO Future Updates Planned.
❌AI can sometimes be........Distracted.

⭐Just the entire experience is sublime.
⭐Quite often goes on sale and worth a punt for any enthusiast!

????VR would be nice, updated to new engine for free would be good too & 1 million pounds in my account by Thursday.

Although a bit of a pain to set up initially i must admit this is probably the most comprehensive and satisfying ww1 flight sim i know of, however it is not without flaw.

I only recently got into flight sims via Red Baron 3d on gog and even though i have never tried a flight sim before i realised i actually quite enjoyed it so, naturally the next step was to purchase a newer much more expensive flight sim (a little bit too expensive probably wait for a sale). The main flaw i can think of is needing to always be online for the career unless of course you use PWCG (Pat Wilson Campaign Generator) Which i can highly recommend as it is a much better career mode if a little finicky to set up correctly.

The Combat is very satisfying as a good burst early war will generally cause a plane to lose it's wings or tail correctly representing how fragile the early ww1 fighters and recon planes where. Speaking of which the damage model is incredibly well done, i don't even mind dying as seeing the mangled wreck of my plane is very satisfying.

Long story short.
Me me like plane game.
Me me suggest you buy plane game and use PWCG.

I had this game off steam, played many hours even before it was on Steam. Totally recommend if you don't have VR or don't mind playing without VR.

I played IL-2 WWI stuff (basically a port over of this with way less content) and the VR experience is amazing. I can only imagine how good this would be with a VR update.

I tried VORPX or whatever. Not satisfied. Need the 3D feel.

I would pay for a VR update.

Rise of Flight United is the best WW1 flight simulation experience I have ever had. The amount of content in this game is commendable. The base game itself which is free to play has 3 flyable planes and 2 huge maps consisting of the Eastern and Western fronts in WW1. All of the AI planes, vehicles and assets are also included in the free to play version. This will allow players to have infinite hours of gameplay with quick missions for free!

Additional content including an English Channel map, campaigns, planes, secondary accessories and weapons for planes are available in DLC for purchase separately.

This is a very challenging sim and should not be mistaken for an arcade game. The flight and damage models are superb! Although the realism can be customized, it will take a new player many hours of practice to be good at the game. Be prepared to get shot down and crash a lot as a novice pilot.

Latest computer hardware that meets the recommended system requirements for this sim should allow players to take advantage of graphics settings in-game, thus making the scenery, planes and assets look stunning. A joystick with twist handle rudder or rudder pedals would be an added advantage. The only downside is that the game doesn't have VR.

Registering an account in the official ROF website is essential in order to play the game. License keys for the base game and DLC are activated in the official website.

Easily one of the best WW1 flight simulators on the market. Highly recommended!

Wow, I've wasted a lot of time with this game. I should probably write a review for it:

Rise of Flight has become my favorite flight sim - the planes are highly detailed, the flying is immersive, and the combat is close and personal. Personally, I don't really play the campaign missions, and seldom touch the multiplayer unless playing with friends. The majority of my playtime is derived from the career mode, where you create your own pilot, join a squadron, and make it as far as you can through the war. If you enjoy military history, flight sims, or both, I would highly recommend this game.

Now, to address the recent negative comments: I don't care - if you like it, you like it, if you don't, you don't.
But I will say this for those who are considering getting the game or its DLC - the account setup is weird, so be patient and always check your spam mail for the confirmation email for your Rise of Flight account. All but three planes are locked behind the DLC, however, two of those planes are quite present in career mode, allowing you to enjoy the game without feeling cheated by the developers. Of the 318 hours I have played this game, a majority was with the base game alone. If you wish to acquire the DLC without feeling scammed by the devs, I'd strongly recommend purchasing them during a sale, where the prices drop from 15-25 US dollars to about 3-5. If you do buy the DLC, please carefully read the instructions on how to activate them on their respective store pages.

Rise of Flight is a beautifully designed game and developed my interest in flight simulators. The game is niche and not everyone will like it. But if you're interested, maybe you'll enjoy it and log more hours than me.

The positives on this game is that the core feels good. The experience of flying over the Western front feels realistic at least to me. The aircraft models are very good.

The problem is that I can only play quick missions easily. Everything else sucks TBH. In quick missions you can select one opponent, or whatever, and enjoy a dogfight or blow up a balloon.

With career missions you start on the ground and I have never been able to get my engine to start unless I go to autopilot. A flare gets shot, everyone takes off, and I'm there pressing E while running my throttle, then pressing everything else.

So I take off on Autopilot BUT I make sure I switch back to manual as soon as my wheels leave the ground. This is because friendly AI is beyond terrible. It is not uncommon for you to take off in a formation of 4 or 5 planes, and half of them are out of commission within a couple of minutes because they are constantly crashing into each other.

This also throws off the combat as scenarios are designed with the idea that your flight of 5 people will actually be able to make it to the front with all 5 people. Even when they do make it, you never know what your squadmates are going to do. You might get jumped by enemy planes, start dogfighting, and see that the rest of your flight just calmly flew off and you're on your own against an entire flight of enemy aircraft. Squadmates don't stick to the flight path, and you have to fly manually the whole way to the target because you can't trust the autopilot not to crash you into another aircraft and this gets boring.

I tried just soloing it, but you can't do that as this isn't an arcade game. Unless you're an excellent player if you take on three enemy fighters at once you are going to get shot down. Which is good - I like realism - but the problem is I have no other option if I want to fight anything. The friendly AI just won't contribute.

It looks like you get some interesting squadron management options at a certain rank. I'd like to try playing that, but you can't do so without working your way up the ranks via combat and I don't see that ever happening.

Also the game requires you to have an online connection in order to play single player career. Devs always seem to think that this is a great idea. It's not. In addition, you can also rack up a lot of expenses in this game because absolutely everything is DLC. It's the Paradox business model and it is hard to root for devs who use that.

I wouldn't recommend this game unless there's a ridiculous sale, and even then your experience will be limited.

Edit: Just after writing this I bought Wings over Flanders Field which is a MUCH better game. Better AI, much better solo campaign, no online requirements, all planes available. It's $50 but that's still a lot cheaper than this if you're intending to play a WW1 flight sim without some serious limitations.

Its a good free WW1 Air Combat Simulator, but if you want to play it (and be successful) you have to use the keyboard (which is almost impossible to aim with) or with a Joystick. Apart form that a thumbs up from me!

Kept having trouble with the DLCs. A little bit disappointed that you have to purchase them to get some in-game experience. DLC issues aside, this is a fairly good game in terms of graphics. The controls are a little difficult to get the hang of, but if you're looking for a WWI flying game and are willing to pay for the different planes and campaigns, this might be a game for you.

I personally love it but I've had to invest a lot of time in getting the right mods and the Pat Wilson Campaign Generator to work (nothing is documented by anyone so the simplest thing is a research project involving countless forum searches).

The game itself is passable and quite playable even with mouse + keyboard combo, though again nothing is well documented so the simplest tasks involve lots of research. I bought about €15 worth of DLC and have a fairly fun set of flyers.

But there is clear evidence that this game is moribund, the devs have given up on it and the playerbase has moved on to IL2 Flying Circus. The multiplayer scene seems totally dead.

So though I enjoy it I can't really recommend it to anyone who doesn't truly love WW1 aviation and even then they'd probably be happier with the (overpriced) IL2 BoS-Flying Circus Combo.

It's really sad to see recent reviews being Mostly Negative because of Ace Combat players going for a ww1 experience withoyt actually knowing how a simulator works. Ya'll complaining you can't register? That's so easy. I had to spend a few hours fixing my graphics because my PC cant even run this game on playable fps but i kept on and got it to run. Absolute masterpiece, I love the physics and how the guns act, you actually have to hit the same part of the plane quite a bit for it to rip out and down the airplane, or you aim for the engine, fuel, oil or pilot. I am redownloading it again . It's fun but servers arent quite balanced with people running tri-wing planes against you, you just cant do anything when they outturn you and fly as fast as you. Thats a server owner problem though :). You should definately play it if you like simulators and you are looking to get into flight simulators.

Still the best WW1 flight sim out there, and by quite a long way. The only WW1 flight experience that comes close is Over Flanders Fields, and that is let down by being an overpriced mod to the dated 2002 game Combat Flight Sim 3. Lots of chads download this thinking it's a free WW1 shoot'emup in biplanes, then give it unfavourable reviews upon discovering they are going to have to learn to fly the damn planes, and that pretty much everything other than the basic map and a couple of aircraft is behind a paywall. Well, they ought to know by now that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

The aircraft featured in this game are beautifully detailed with accurate flight models and great damage models. Newbie pilots be warned, these aircraft are not simply slower versions of WW2 fighters...they are made of wood and canvas and if you try to throw them around the sky too much, they will stall and the wings might even fall off. Also, a joystick is an absolute must - you're not going to learn to fly using a keyboard and mouse or even a controller, so get a proper flight stick, preferably with a separate throttle.

If you're into flight sims and want to feel the true art of combat aviation during its infancy, flying by the seat of your pants in a paper kite, then you will love this. It will profoundly increase your respect for the men who did it for real, without parachutes. Give it a try, then if you want to add more aircraft, wait for any one of the frequent sales direct from the RoF website. I'd advise you don't buy any of the DLC from Steam as you will only be able to play them via the Steam version. Aircraft and maps bought direct from the RoF website are compatible with any version of the game...and they really do have frequent sales. No need to buy them at full price.

I've owned this game since it was released back in 2013, before it was released on Steam, so despite how it appears I've got hundreds of hours logged and own almost every aircraft plus the channel map as well. I only got the free Steam version just so I could have the convenience of downloading the game via the Steam client.

Don't let the fools who can't take the time to watch a video or read a guide, on how to use free planes, fool you.

Horrible frustrating experience, download free version from the main site and it tells gives me an error my key is not active, update, same thing. Uninstall, reinstall on steam sign up for a new account. Launch the game and can't start quick mission or campaign, on quick mission it pops up a warning I don't own the plane click ok or cancel, can't select either of the free planes so can't play quick mission. Trying a campaign and can't launch any of the missions with the free plane, the launch mission button won't do anything. Finally find under mission free flight and at least can start a mission, oh no wait nothing but a black screen with sound. After an hour of searching and trying to figure out how to turn off subtitles which did not fix the issue I had to turn off anti-aliasing, ok now I can see the plan and take off but to my surprise none of the controls work. The screen is so zoomed in to the cockpit it makes me sick to my stomach, and of course pilot head or camera zoom keys don't do anything. An hour later still none of the control work, they work on the ground the rudders and ailerons move but once airborne everything stops working. Remap the control and still nothing.

This has to be the worst flight sim experience ever, uninstalled - either I'm too stupid to figure it out or this game has serious issues - highly recommend if they are still working on this game they revisit the new user experience, you could not even pay me to reinstall this.

I purchased this game two years ago and have never been able to play it. Once it's eventually loaded and I'm hoping to be soaring into the air in my Sopwith scout it informs me that the aircraft is not available to me. I was foolish enough to purchase the Aces add on pack which made no difference. Like a fool I left it too late to get my money back. DON'T TOUCH THIS WITH A BARGEPOLE.

A wonderfully modelled and amazing looking pioneer era flight simulator. If you're willing to do some effort (learn to work with Patrick Wilson's Campaign Generator), it's also a great game.

If you are looking for an explosive gung-ho arcade quick fix, this is NOT what you want. There're other games that cater to your taste, Battlefield and War Thunder come to mind.

Contrary to what many reviews here seem to suggest, the game is perfectly playable for free:
- You get 3 planes, 2 of which are among the best planes of the era.
- You can choose any plane in quick missions (suprisingly flexible to configure for variation).
- You can play a career spanning the entire last year of the war (that's easily 50hrs of play).
- Most of all, you can play the excellent tutorial campaign with the SPAD XIII, a very forgiving and controllable plane... Something sorely lacking in other simulators, where they throw you into the deep end and laugh at you for drowning (only community videos can save you). It also helps that early planes (basically kites with lawnmower engines) don't have a bewildering plethora of controls and instruments, Rise of Flight certainly is an excellent entry point into serious flight simulators.

The bad news... And there is bad news...

The development team responsible for this game impressed the people at 1C Games so much that they partnered up and started working on Il-2 Sturmovik Great Battles (using this games engine in an evolved form). By now they've already made WWI extensions to that game (Flying Circus), further cementing this game's discontinuation. Because of that the game feels unfinished and open-ended.
The career mode especially is extremely problematic. It needs contact with a server, and if anything goes wrong at any point (a regular occurrence), it forces you to replay an accomplished mission, which is enraging and frustrating (use Patrick Wilson's excellent career tool instead).
The AI is very stupid and one-dimensional too (but can be improved with a little effort as well).

In short: while the simulation aspects of Rise of Flight are sublime, the game aspects are lacking and require third party tools to be enjoyable.

REGARDING NEGATIVE REVIEWS

This is not free to play, at all, apparently. It's still a great WW1 Flight sim.

I think you might actually still be able to play for free, but you'll need to make an account on the RiseOfFlight website and claim the free planes there. Their website is also where I recommend buying DLC as it is cheaper*, and you can buy individual planes. They will transfer to the Steam version, but not vice versa. (Words can't express how much I wish DCS did the same thing, but just imagine Gregor Clegane ripping his wallet in half like Oberyn Martell's head.)

I've been playing the non-Steam version of this on and off for years and have only just installed it on Steam, hence the 0.4 hour play time.

*They had a sale on when I wrote this review, but that's over now. The sales seem to be fairly regular though, so try to hold off on spending sprees until some kind of holiday event and you could save big.

Awesome game, but extremely expensive. the good thing is that the free to play version you have 3 planes to fly and fight in quick missions and it is a lot of fun. So even if you haven't bought any planes like me, you can still enjoy some nice plane fights in quick mission.

I tried to play this game because of its early history of flight during ww1, I saw it was free, and it looked like a nice game, so i started it up i made a account, i try to fly, when i tried to fly i have to own a plane, and im thinking, do I have to buy the plan to play the game, yes u do, if this is supposed to be a free game at least have a free plane to fly with, if you cant play the game without haveing to pay just list it at like $10, or $15, not free and your forced to pay for a dlc to play the game, there isn't even a tutorial, if your looking for a free game about flight this is not the game for you.

Imagine having to pay just to play? fails to let you know which planes and map you can play so good luck finding that out. User attacking negative reviews because they disliked the paywall issue, calling people 'freeloaders' for free game, this gives the game a more negative view as it shows toxicity in the fanbase, players who make personal vendettas against those who they disagree is another issue with this game unfortunately. Also fails to register full screen so enjoy tabbing out when your cursor ends up on the second monitor.

Was hoping to find an easy combat FS after spending most of my time and brain cells on FS2020. So I created an account, started the game (expectations were high !) clicked on quick mission to end up being told I don't have the proper plane to fly... Tried other modes, looked for a tutorial, but... Nothing... So I didn't insist, I erased it and went to sleep.

Mixed reviews and a 7 year old game, this isn't going to be good, but it's free, lets give it a go.
A detailed look at the down thumbs, show that they are mostly from people incapable of following the install instructions and let's face it, they are a bit clunky, but quite doable. The first 3 hrs were quite painful, setting up the stick, until I found out it needs to be biased in pitch, as most aircraft tend to fly upwards and therefore need to be compensated for in the settings.
If you don't do this, you will never succeed.
Battle of Stalingrad is a gunfight. Rise of Flight is a knife fight and I'm loving every minute of it.
The Camel is my favourite and I've decided to specialise in it, so I've started a career on the Western Front.
Better than expected. Fully recommended.
I would like to add. The game is free and you get 3 planes to start you off, so if you don't like it you've lost nothing. I've now added most DLC, which for the price of a bag of peanuts during the sale, is a must and they all loaded perfectly with the supplied unlock keys. It's a hard sim to master, but very satisfying when your opponent hits the deck..

If you've flown in other flight sims then this is a whole new ballgame! As you might expect with early aircraft they are quite unforgiving and it takes practice to get up, stay up and get down again safely. However the rewards are huge! The sense of achievement in mastering these beautiful aircraft and being able to review a video of your flight is really great.

Love my flight simming, from fs5, xplane, fsx, sturmovik, F16 falcon v4.0, list goes on.
This game is beautiful, instructions are clear in aerodynamics/keys, options have lots of key bindings for your joystick/pedals also.
Figured i would give it a go again due to the old aircraft, what an age of flying.

Having said that, i could not enjoy much of anything due to paying for every little thing to play, paying for maps, not just having to buy 2 airplanes to do the mission, c'mon REALLY. Such potential wasted on microtransactions, like most games i agree, but this has become extensive. It is a shame.

Good luck, as i'm preparing my pc upgrade to buy Microsofts new Flight Simulator, which, gives us the world to fly in and all bell's/whistles and community add-on's, like the old days, my money goes a lot further on initial investment.
Thank you, your call........

confusing camera controls as it appears to be defaulted to cockpit only. no 3rd plane view.

This is a very hard game to reccomend.

Pros:
- Realistic or at least semi realistic simulation of WW1 plane physics
- Amazing HUD and UI for the most part
- Mouse flying style so that you dont feel handicapped without a flight stick
- a LOT of content, even for free, you get 4-5 planes? 1 of the 2 maps for the game, unlimited multiplayer support as long as a server supports the free map and free planes, and no restrictions campaigns and career mode as long as the same rules mentioned apply
- A seriously interesting system where you create a character that based on the age, name, last name, and origin, you get a whole text wall of backstory made. Not useful, but VERY interesting and a nice detail. With this character you pick a date to start from 1916 to 1918 with a country, pick a division, airplane, and do random generated missions as if you were someone in a real time changing battlefield
- 3 Free campaigns, which are not the same thing as the career, they are premade long mission sets
- a HUGE ASS FUCKING MAP. REALLY big.
- Semi decent optimization, the game looks like its from cutting edge 2007, but in my 2013 PC it cant run 60 solid with all maxed out. However the game is so old this isn't an issue.
- No advertisement or pushout to spend money unless you want more planes. What you can buy its usually cheap.

Cons:
- The options menu, specially for the keybinds, is way too cluttered and kinda sucks. There's no search option sometimes binds dont work properly, and its hard to find the commands you seek.
- Not all essential keybinds are present. There's no waypoint next, previous, skip, etc. Although there's time skipping.
- The tutorial is there but its essentially interactive missions that let you fly the plane and get used to it. Nothing specific about stuff like how to start the plane properly, how to handle mixture and radiator manually, and so on. Although with the automatic by default that's not a huge deal.
- Had issues to login (you HAVE to do it to play) but after emailing the customer support by the afternoon i had the game running fine
- Multiplayer is 100% dead. Not even empty servers. You can make one, but no one is playing
- If you aren't JUST into WW1 aircrafts, there's nothing else here. No battleship naval action (at least unless you buy the british chanel map) No WW1 navy carriers, no huge bombers and multi crew, no mechanic side of things, no pre WW1 aircrafts or post WW1 aircrafts. Its WW1 air force planes and nothing else.
- Game stopped recieving updates, so if you dont like it as-is you will never like it
- Some of the purchases, while cheap, seem odd. You can buy an airplane DLC but you are given the choice to pay for extras for that plane, like a cockpit lamp and additional options for machineguns and so on. Not the worst since none of those packs go for over 1 euro, but they could have just put that into the plane value and it would make sense

The reason why im recommending this no matter what is because..... Well, what other WW1 flight game do you know? DCS doesn't has WW1 planes, Aces high 3 does but its a subscription fee of 15 dollars monthly, so its either this or installing older flight games like il-2 sturmovik 1946 or Flying Fortress with WW1 mods.

While I very briefly enjoyed trying out the different aspects of the game, I quickly found out during my first flight that the controls with the default window size did not permit me to pilot my plane optimally, or even just functionally. When I tried to resize the graphics to go full-screen mode, it did something to the game that became unfixable. I immediately got dropped from the game and a DLL error came up. Each time of at least a half dozen tries to remedy the situation (including two uninstall/reinstall attempts) resulted in the same error message upon trying to start the game, causing an immediate crash.

What little I witnessed of the game looked very good, handsome and polished to a large degree. I think it would have been a pleasure to explore it, had I been able to. But after so many failed attempts to regain access to it, I have given up.

I recommend that folks give it a try, but be very careful about your graphics settings. Sadly, I won't be joining you here, and I can not in good conscience give a thumbs up for a game that for me is non-functional beyond a settings adjustment. Perhaps if this issue were to be fixed in the future, I may be able to return and give it a another try, and a fresh review. I'm sure it is worthy of praise when it works.

I don't normally write reviews for games, but I would like to encourage people to read the privacy policy before signing up for their account. Beware of spyware.

So, I started flying Rise of Flight in 2016. I have close to 90 hours in the sim and would like to just write a review on what I have experienced. (By-the-way I have not flown this sim consistently from 2016 to now, I've played on and off over the years as life allows)

I'm just going to straight up give you all the truth here. This game is REALISTIC to World War 1. This war was one of the most deadly and brutal wars in human history, both on land and in the air and on the sea. This game is BRUTAL when you begin. I went through the training career and gave up when it asked me to take on 3 Albatrosses on my own. Luckily, you won't be doing that much and I would advise against going to a 3v1 match-up. Even a 2 vs 1 match-up is difficult if they are both on you at the same time.

You will die, you will die a lot. You will crash and you will tear the wings off your N17 or Sopwith Pup trying to be an Albatross... You are not. The learning curve is steep but REWARDING. I have spent at least 10 of those 86 hours practicing dog fighting in Quick Match. I spent another 10 learning to land and take off without crashing on various planes. I would suggest you get mildly familiar with these tasks before jumping into career.

Also, I nearly quit the game during dogfight practice because I didn't understand how to REALLY fly these crates, but then IT happened. I got my first kill, and I was HOOKED.

That's how ROF works. You fly, you fail, you don't give up and you get your first kill. It takes days and sometimes weeks to work out how to fly these planes but it is the most satisfying thing I have ever experienced in my time in gaming.

I now fly career mode and have just started new careers in RFC No. 29 Squadron (DH2s and N17s) and RFC No. 64 Sq. (Sopwith Pups and Camels). I have started many campaigns, with many squadrons (all Entente), and all have died within the first 2 or 3 months of service. (Which is a VERY historical lifespan for a WW1 pilot). All those chaps were aces before they died though, except one. I hope to one day play from 1916 to Armistice although I doubt I will ever see the end with a single pilot since I only play Dead-is-Dead style.

My point is, this game is FUN it is BRUTAL and it is REWARDING and once you get in there and EARN your wings, you wont be quitting any time soon.

My rating is a 9/10
Not a perfect sim, but as close to perfect as one could reasonably expect. Certainly more fun than DCS.
