Modes of Gameplay:

Quick Mission Builder – The Quick Mission Builder (QMB) allows you to create a combat encounter very quickly. Simply select the parameters of fight using our easy to use interface. You can select the location, planes, weapons, skins, altitudes, wind, clouds and weather. You can also select from three different types of engagements – Skirmish, Survival and Duel.

Missions – There are custom stand-alone single missions you can fly to hone your combat skill. You can choose from Free Flight and Scenarios. Rise of Flight: Iron Cross Edition includes missions for the SPAD 13, Albatros D.Va., Nieuport 28, Fokker D.VII, Sopwith Camel, SE.5a, Nieuport 17, Pfalz D.XII and Fokker Dr.1.

Campaign – There are three scripted campaigns designed to tell an immersive story. Choose from Hat in the Ring, Du Doch Nicht and Training. Flying the campaigns is a good way to practice your combat skills before you venture into a pilot career.

Career – A pilot career allows you to choose from many different squadrons and fly historically based mission types throughout the war. You can choose what squadron you fly for and the date you start. You can also choose a biography for the pilot and starting rank. As you progress through the career, you will earn promotions in rank and earn medals for your bravery and skill. The career mode includes dynamic elements and no two missions are exactly the same. You’ll face historically accurate enemy squadrons and occasionally encounter famous and deadly enemy aces in combat. If you survive long enough, you can become the squadron leader and take charge of daily pilot assignments and mission planning.

Multiplayer – ROF has a robust MP environment with a built in server browser. You can join MP matches easily or you can join simply to be a spectator. There are several types of multiplayer matches including Cooperative (COOP), Dogfight (TDM) and Objective Based (CTF). Each type of server has different goals and rules. The server locator screen can help you determine which match is best for you. It lists the server’s description, mission rotation, players, ping, location and difficulty settings. Once you join a match you can fly a single seat fighter or, assuming they are available, fly as a machine gunner on a multi-crew aircraft such a bomber. The choice is yours.

[goingboeing]

hi guys just purchased it also, is yours taking forever to download? im currently 12% after over 3 hours

[cirrusnature]

Mine's been downloading since 3pm this afternoon and now it's 8:30pm and it's at 81%. A BIT slow yes. Looking forward to it though.

[Ian Warren]

Been so many long years ive had a combat sim on the pc .. now comes the setup for the controllers ... so much easier when you think it should work with a default

[AdrianPetford]

Don't hesitate, not for a second. Don't even think about it.

Get it. Get it. Get it now.

Rise of Flight is stunning and exceptional in every way and the Iron Cross Edition is packed with premium content. I bought the boxed DVD version for £50 (around $100 NZD) and it was worth every penny.

At $10 it's an absolute steal and well worth the pain of the large download.
