In the course of «Rise of Flight» development we pursued the idea of making the project interesting not only for admirers of this genre, but also we wanted to provide good experience for the amateur users. Players that still have some troubles with aircraft control devices, but with the knowledge in general aviation, will be provided with various elements of facilitation. For example, automatic fuel mixture mode and automatic aircraft stabilization mode, which will help with mastering skills in difficult and complex missions included in our project. We decided to include these modes for beginners rather than simplify most of mathematical models.
We also have some people at our office who honestly have no idea how to fly in the combat aircraft. They just look at the screen and declare immediately that they want to learn how to fly too. How can we help them? Sometimes different project developers say something like «you should spend more time studying and reading in your childhood, so you don't have any questions». Such approach to the problem solution is not our method, therefore we included «training campaigns». Basic flight elements and techniques will be shown and explained in training missions.
In order to implement the idea of training campaigns we have included some additional capabilities like animated characters. We wanted to make some progress in this genre. Our game will definitely look different with all these features compare to other flight sims. After the technical problems that we have successfully solved another question arised, «who can be trusted enough from the aces, and who can actually play the role of a «baby sitter». After some thoughts we decided to pick on good old Eddie Rickenbacker. In his real life he spent time training new comers and strengthening «the young wings», thus he will be also irreplaceable in our virtual world.
In a today's promotional movie our current progress on this «not always grateful path» is presented, namely - the first mission from «Training campaign» from the project «Rise of Flight».
