RoF dynamic (?) campaign

[Distiler]

I'm not into 1WW airplanes, but I'm always attracted at reading what those guys at RoF are doing. Can anybody clear me if this new career mode is a dynamic campaign? even if it's not, it has very cool features!

The lack of the word "dynamic" in the news is a bit disturbing tho.

RoF is a great sim, for WWI its RoF, for WWII IL-2 and for everything else its DCS

ROF is another excellent Russian sim. The Russians I tell you KNOW THEIR SIMS. ROF, IL-2 Cliffs of Dover, and DCS.....all from Russia.

RoF is a brilliant simulator, with a feel of flight only equalled by very few others - A-10C being one. It has evolved greatly since release, and has great potential. Career mode is one such thing which will take it to new levels. It is already available, to a large degree, through Patrick Wilsons excellent external software which will create a campaign for you. Easy to use but does require you to work outside of the simulator creating the missions.

 

Unfortunately, RoF also has flaws. While a superb online furball simulator, other modes of play were not tested (much) before release, as all testing was done by online squads, and I think it shows. In my opinion, the most serious deficit was a visibility cap of 2500 meters (yes - 2.5 km!). This effectively rendered all modes of gameplay where you do not follow the artificial waypoints exactly as the mission generator intended useless - forget map and clock navigation. If you don't, you'll simply be flying around in an empty sky seeing nothing else. I'm hoping this is fixed by now, but be warned - I have a feeling it is not.

 

If furballing is your thing - why don't you have it already?! Go buy it, now. If you want the feel of flying those old crates around - ditto. If you are more into simulating WWI missions, stalkig enemy flight across the front, patrolling etc - you may want to try the demo out before buying to see if it is really for you.

 

Cheers,

Fred

2.5km cap is still there, :doh:

Damn. Well, RoF is a brilliant "fly to the magic beacon put in the sky by the computer WWI online furball airquake" software then, as far as combat flying goes. :(

RoF is great, i have it and play it for fun, beut i m really not into the pointless airquake gaming.

Unless they put something MP like warbirds, i m out waiting for Dynamic Campaign.

With my opening gaming time falling toward 0 dcs A10 alone is way more than i can handle.

Yeah I'm looking forward to the new career mode as well. Hope it lives up to the hype.
