If you go around flying your plane into oncoming trains on purpose, I really doubt you are into realism in the first place.
Most addons cost close to or more than $39 so getting a complete sim is a real bargain. Seeing that flight sims have been on the edge of extinction, I am happy to get anything. I am sure there are alot of gamers that are upset that there are no aliens or nukes in the game.
Rather than spending time on making sure the crash physics are accurate when hitting trains,buildings ect, they should concentrate on enemy ai and the aircraft flight models.
Last night I did a bomber intercept. Spent 15 minutes getting there,swapped fire and was severely wounded right off. Very frustrating.
BTW-Anyone able to determine what was contained in the latest small patch?

People complain they want it real but when they get it they're not happy? Combat is endless hours of bordom punctuated by a few seconds of terror. It's about picking the right moment to attack, the the right angle and deflection; then hoping you still arent' killed. I've also been on those endless missions getting there to only be wacked by some rear seat puke a few seconds into the fight....DANG!! 
Fate sure is random. I haven't enjoy a flight sim like this one in a long time!!

I do not mind a good challenge even against overwhelming odds. But some of defeats were not from a better opponent,better tactics or even fate but just cheap ai.
I am having fun which is what its all about. Losing isnt what bothers me but going through a reload,mission restart,15 minute flight only to receive a headshot from a moving plane 1/4 a mile away is getting old quick.
The submarine Silent Hunter series were some of my favorite. Hours spent stalking your prey and only a few minutes of actual battle. I enjoy the hunting and setting up a good attack and retreat. I just wish the enemy did not have superhuman eyesight and planes covered in steel. Either a user adjustable opponent strength option or some tweaking here and there thats all.
BTW The SE5 is my plane of choice now. All around a good solid platform.

Not when the plane is mostly wood and canvas, yeah a modern day plane would but not the paper mache plane. :ernae:

i was goto Buy This now That i see in the post Over head you have to Buy planes to use them? in this new sim ok thats just ripping people off if i wanted to pay to play ill go do warbirds or aces high II :angryfir:
The initial price of the sim is cheap. It is a ground breaking sim worth having. The price of the additional planes, just over $7 is extremely cheap esp. since the quality of these a/c is far and above most payware a/c for FSX. There is no sim that even comes close to getting aerial combat right like this sim. IL2 even sucks compared to Rise of Flight. It is a helluva bargain.
paying for add-on aircraft......well isn't that a novel idea! No one does that for FSX, we can tell from the zero after market sales! The aircraft are only 7 bucks and outstanding quality. Sorry for the sarcasm, to me, that's just not a good arguement for not buying this sim!
:ernae:
:ernae:Amen brother!
3 grand computer,$1400 monitor,$300 in joysticks,rudders, a couple grand in addons for FSX/FS9, $40 plus $7 for a few planes doesnt seem so much. FSX and now ROF are the only "games "on my computer. All my shooters,racing ect are Playstation 3 and they are $60 a game.
Here I am whining again. I did a scenerio with the SE5 attacking a balloon. 2 albatross attack and ripped me to shreds. So just to test, I turned off damage. I stuck to one like glue and hammered him. Nothing....
Eventually he went into this back and forth race track pattern doing rudder stall turns. Everytime he got to the top and kicked the rudder, I was on his ass eating him up with lots of lead raining bullets into the top of his plane. This went on for 4 or 5 more times till I was laughing. Then he went into a slow shallow dive again with me at his 6 dumping unlimited ammo into him. Finally at low level he rolled over and went in.
Next flight, damage on, we go head to head and I get pummeled first pass. Screen goes red and with two against one, It was over before it began.

Don't ever go head to head. You will sustain too much damage most of the time. Go under him and then reverse direction to pick him up trying to come under you and get on his tail. After that you either knock him dead with a wall of lead from his six or if you suck at aerobatics he will give you a run for you money. Marksmanship is almost everything at this point.
