I flew this new simulator when I was in Moscow last summer (2007) and this simulator is amazing!

Back then, the flight model was already very good and together with the the terrain, weather, effects and sounds makes KOTS or ROF a truely remarkable simulator!

finally. good to see this moving from vaporware to feasible. now i won't have to settle for some lame console oriented crap called birds of prey.

It doesn't mention British or French pilots! Not as if there was an extensive air war prior to 1917 though.. obviously.

The war had hardly started! :)

 

Ahem, I forget my manners lol. The air combat in the video looked amazing, simple, and very fun.

 

I'd love to land a Sopwith Camel on a dirt strip though. Biggles, my hero! (childrens books by Capt WE Johns) :(

Interesting info:

Will the two cores of a Core Duo CPU be actively working on simulation tasks rather than one core doing operating system housekeeping and not actively making the sim run at higher framerate

 

ROF have separated threads architecture, so two/four cores will work. Actually we have exact numbers of trials of core duo vs core quad, and core quad works 30-40% faster than core duo with ROF

 

Has the PhysX API any chance of being used under RoF and future son-of-RoF simulations btw?

Negative for release (we just havnt time to do it right now).

That flight sim has some of the most believable looking flight I've ever seen.

 

BTW, the cloud link doesn't work. :(

This sim will be absolutely fun! Can't wait. It seems there is really good simulators in the future ahead.

I have ROF now. It has some of the best, yes, best flight modeling of any simulator on the market today. Comes with 4 flyable aircraft with a lot of detail and more planes are coming since it is a modular design. There are a few rough edges but Neoqb is committed in evolving the product. I say if you want to fly an old WWI crate, ROF is the closest to the real thing IMO.

The first update actually made it a TON better for me! The major issues I found with TRACKER IR and some of the control buttons were fixed..>MUCH happier about the sim now!

Posted

Yeah that was a good patch. I was having a tough time controlling the aircraft, but now things are much smoother. Plus two free planes, plus the promise of more patches and planes to come!

MUUUUCH better after that patch. Totally +1 this post....actually made this game a 5 to a 7.5 so far for me :)

ROF and BS, are the only simulators that playing alone are very funny...

 

I'm not sure I agree; I have yet to get tired of strafing convoys in IL-2. :pilotfly:

this sim any good .?

 

It's pretty good, if you LOVE WWI you'll probably really like it, I'm fairly impartial to the great war and it's aviation so it's not my most simmed sim.

 

It was super buggy initially (english version) but the update helped and the additional two planes helped out (2 with release, 2 more with update).

But before you rush out and buy this sim. It requires internet connection for both single and multi player. It comes with only 2 aircraft, and the first patch adds two more, but in some countries you get less. But as a sim its brillant, great graphics, and the model scaling is beautiful. Its not the same as screaming thru the air at mach 1.5 like Lock-On, its fragile, and you need to fly the aircraft from start to finish.

If you love WW1, your going to love it.

We're up to 5 aircraft now (4 for free, one for $7.62 in the online store). Five is plenty. Not every sim needs be like IL-2 with dozens and dozens of available aircraft (nor did IL-2 even start out like that). And for a paltry (and amusing) $7.62, I'll keep buying them as they come out. I'm happy to support the developers, as they've done a terrific job with RoF. I agree with their business model, as laid out in the "vision statement" they released recently.
