Perhaps I will enjoy those little airplanes, who knows... Rise of Flight is, in some ways, a superior product to DCS! I am sure you will enjoy it if you are a fan of aviation.

Insanatrix Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 It's an interesting idea in that you can buy 1 or 2 planes that you want and you don't have to buy the full game.
TAIPAN_ Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Rise of Flight is, in some ways, a superior product to DCS! True in some ways indeed, such as "game" play. It has the fun factory that's for sure, plus the career mode, and competitive player vs player combat. Fighting against other humans is very challenging and satisfying. Also sometimes after a hard days work it's nice to just jump in and fly around with minimal controls. DCS exceeds it in modelling of systems. ROF doesn't allow control of all the cockpit controls, although in these old planes there's not many controls anyway so the HOTAS suffices. In terms of flight model, I'd say they are about equal. Although DCS does have the advantage of having real flight data to model from, whereas WW1 there is no solid data for all these old planes. Actually I heard one or two of the old developers from flaming cliffs worked on some of the ROF flight models. So they should be on par with at least Su-25t. Anyone looking at grabbing it, you won't regret it! It's free anyway. Also - HOTAS warthog is great with it, although you may need to move the Y axis for some of the planes that are rigged with not much forward stick (causes the nose to rise). To get around this - try these curves: http://www.oceanicwing.com/Forum/Main/index.php?topic=426.0 G940 or any force feedback stick doesnt need curves, as the force feedback moves to the correct stick position as the real planes would.

Agreed; though I'm not sure which systems aren't useable? I thought these old birds only generally had a throttle control and mixture/radiator? Also, one particular area that RoF exceeds DCS in is atmosphere. Just my opinion, but I feel like I'm very much in the aircraft in RoF, more so than DCS.

TAIPAN_ Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Not much really. Just things like manually switching to gravity or reserve fuel tank, changing ammunition drums, major gun jams (stoppages are modelled). These things are handled automatically, instead of having an interface for them. It's pretty much got it all where it counts though. Yeah I agree I feel more "in the aircraft" in ROF too, it's unreal. Have been trying HDR High, with high detail landscape etc lately since my graphics card upgrade. It's amazing now with the long view distance, looks awesome. Pimax Crystal VR & Simpit User | Ryzen CPU & Nvidia RTX GPU | Some of my mods
WynnTTr Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 It's the aircraft not the game that has that sense of flying. Just like an older classic car that will pump out the torque and give you the better sensation of the road rather than the most tech advanced Mercedes out there. It's the same for Camel v Viper. One you've got nothing but the wind on your face and and you're hearing it streak past and see the ground moving as you fly along. The other you're in a bubble surrounded by avionics where the altitude is so high all you see of the ground is one big mesh with nothing but blue around you. The sensation of flying will always be different and much, much more pure for an older aircraft. The real art of a game like RoF is that they modelled it so well. However that doesn't detract from modern aircraft. I'd still rather fly the Viper over the Camel. As to FM - they're in no way equal. One you have actual data to play with the other is only good suppositions that is done well. In terms of fidelity of FM they definitely aren't equal. HOWEVER - now with the new career mode, in terms of immersion RoF is clearly superior and the better game. Hats off to them. Hope ED are looking and taking notes.
