Beta test

Hard rules ;) - but perfectly fair, looking at the risks and of course at the aim of RoF. Maybe I should quickly join a squad, LOL

Jasta 99 reporting for duty! I will do a move on our squadleader to sing us in for the Beta!

I have one question, if you belong diferents squads (not all squad fly all simulators), you can try to register for each one.?

Crud, my squad has been together for 3 years but we never put up a website,
too busy flying XD

Would love to help you guys with this, unfortunately I belong to no squad due to time constraints. If you would however consider other than purely squad members, as I said, I'd  be glad to help, and have considerable knoweledge of the WWI aviation period as well as aircraft in general. Shoot me an email if its at all possible, and Good Luck with your progress towards completion! ;)

Salute,
the JaSta 99 come and help you.
J99°Hasso°CO

2Viper: yes, why not, the key thing is that you will sign NDA and no problem if we have NDA signed by you from several squads. Also one person = one login to the game.
2Kotrenin and ZoomZoom: stay in touch, we'll think what we can do

Would've loved to help out as well unfortunately im in the same boat as ZoomZoom, anyway if you'll need support from another dedicated simlation/ww1 fantast just give me a word I'll be glad to help.

S!

I will be sending an email from 1.Pulk Lotniczy tomorrow Those are great conditions, Gents. Thank you for such invitation.

I certainly understand the benefits of having dedicated squads of folks beta testing the game, but my hope is that testing will be opened up to individuals who do not belong to squads.  There are any number of folks that have played combat flight sims for nearly a decade that have never belonged to any organized group of players.

I would love to help as well. I'm an Old RB3D player from way back.

Very reasonable request. Shame I had never joined a squadron but those are the breaks. If you ever find yourself short on testers I will always be here.

I can understand the rules so as to test the MP side of RoF thoroughly.

Like a lot of guys, I'm left out too.

Just remember eventual participants, you've got big responsibiliites here!

The KoA Knight of the Air Squadron (a german squadron which still sets tournaments for the good old Redbaron with modified flight models etc) will send our signup for this Beta Test tomorrow.

We have followed your blog with interest and would like to help beta-testing.

Salute

RAF74 has been flying Sims for 11 years online, we started with the RED BARON II.

I have provided a number of cockpit and aircraft shots already for Viks, hoping our Squad can be able to become involved in the Beta Testing.

Thanks RAF74 Buzzsaw

Sending in app.  By the way the [RS] Rogue Saints are recruiting for our IL2 Virtual Fighter Wing.  If any pilots are interested just drop on by.

The EAF is lining up some volouteers, 10 yrs online, with me on the books for the last 5

well, finally the beta is almost here...best wishes to the whole ROF team and congrats on your hard work.....see you in the sky! Hardcore simmers - passion with no limits and compromises...

Past experience has shown that sending mail from say Australia to Russia(Moscow) takes more than a week. Might need a little more time for the hardcopy NDA's

2GvSAP (2nd Guards Composite Squadron) has been around quite awhile.

Anyhow, we're in for three - WWI nuts going back to RB3D.

I'm POC for our squadron.

The WingWalkers are prepared to help the community & developer test this product. Right up there with RAF74 and JG1 as the oldest virtual squadrons...;)

S!

I've posted in the TX forums and will forward our collective interest if they desire to do so in the next 48 hours.

TX has been around for many years and has been the generous host of the TX-OC3 server which is close to coming back to life. We also have a former IL2 beta tester on our team.

I am in the RCAF_FB squadron for IL-2 Sturmovik.  I definitely want to join.  I will talk to my superiors and hopefully they will want to join also.

PS: How many squadrons will be allowed to join?

Also an old RB3 flier and proud member of the Flying Squirrels. Alas we are no longer flying together.  I would love to contribute but understand your qualifications.
Hope the beta testing goes well (and fast !)  Looking forward to flying again !

The Arctic Angels(1999-present) of Red Baron and the =AVG=(2008-present) of IL2 will be there! Well... I will be there I can say for sure!!!

Wing Walkers virtual Combat Squadron (online since 1992) will be reporting for duty.

I'd love to have been able to test this on my computer to see if I can run it adequately or not. Unfortunately, I am not a "hardcore gamer" who has the time to join a team or squadron. I'm not sure if I have the desire either... I might be more of a lone wolf gamer ;). I do play some other video games from time to time, but not any flight sims besides RB3D because ONLY WORLD WAR ONE aviation interests me, and there are few good dedicated WWI sims out there. I can't claim to be an expert historian either. I am just enthusiastic about the subject, and about this particular game. Anyway, good luck to whoever CAN join the beta, and the rest of us can hope that NeoQB will open up the beta a bit more in the future. I'm actually beta testing Battlefield Heroes right now and they started off with a small beta and gradually added more and more people to it. I'm sure that ANY game of which multiplayer mode is an important aspect will eventually need to be tested with large numbers of people before release.

Hi TopGun.It same with me as for ZoomZoom and Kotrenin.I don't have a squad,but I like to help.
I have been flying sims from 1995 to this day.
As squad member of the Rebells AKA REB_Maestro since 1997-2002 and TheShadowsquad AkA Noroxe since 2003-2008.
Games as for Red Baron3D,FighterAce2,IL2 and WWII Battlefiled europe.

S!~ Sirs,

The =AVG= would like to participate in the beta test. Half of our members are current and former Red Baron 3D pilots from various squadrons who have come together with members of the IL-2 community to form the Flying Tigers of IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946.

Lt. Colonel Tiger
Commanding Officer
1st Pursuit Squadron, =AVG=

S! All, definitely looking forward to Rise of Flight!  If called, JG1 Richthofen (formed March, 1992) is ready to help.  A big salute to the RAF74 and Wingwalkers.

-JG1 Klaiber

Ok, who sent me the white feather?
No5 Squadron reporting!

Hi, there! Thanx for your letters and posts, we are recieving them all, so nobody will be missed. We need some time to examine it, and today we will start sending NDA to your leaders.
About overall participants of beta: we thought about 100 people will be enough, but we'll see how it will go.

Roger that.

Good to see so much support from the community to help the testing. As posted before, I understand that squads are more helpful.
We loners will stay alert in case you need additional testers. ;)

I just hope you don't need us to compensate for testers lacking interest after the few test-runs, because most people consider a beta is more like a demo or a chance to play the game before others can.

In all of the closed betas I participated in, regardless of the genre and gametype, a large portion of the testers soon quit, after it was clear it's not just for fun and finding and documenting reproduceable bugs is sometimes a real pain in the a.., especially in multiplayer, where you have to coordinate tests via IRC/TS.

Use your chance!

~S!~

Too bad I'm not flying in much of a squad anymore.  

Who is doing the preview for SimHq?  Dart?  You doing it?

Thomas S. Cofield
Feature Editor, SimHq.com
www.simhq.com

The Royal Air Corp (RAC) is an old RedBaron3D squadron that has  been around 10 years.  Membership has dwindled but those that are left are excellent pilots with many years of experence that may be helpful.  However only a few of us have high end PCs.  What would be the minimum needed to be of use to U in testing?

Guys, thank you for support, we are continue to recieve your applications, that is really inspirating to see so many people involved.
2RAC: Minimum 3 pilots in one squad is ok.
About PC configuration: there are no rules to it, and from one hand for us is useful to have feedback from different pс, but try to follow minimum requirements, cause too slow pc will do your playing uncomfortable.
About testing time: we will be thankful if you spend about 7-10 hours a week for testing process (or more).

Err, I should have said extended preview once the game gets close to release.

~S~ Everyone. I have been trolling the boards and folling the game since the Knights of the Sky days. It is nice to see that we are in Beta testing phase now! Not much longer to go!! I have been waiting for what is it now, 3 years??? Good job team getting this together and almost ready!

With every new blog entry I'm more certain you guys are heavily borrrowing from the iRacing concept.

application sent from http://www.tangmerepilots.co.uk/, a seven years young online Wing

Exciting to see the mobilization going on here.

(sounds like there's going to be some real dogfighting happening shortly)

great to here can hardly wait for the final product.

The 2nd Sqn of =AVG= is interested, as is Aerial Battalion 1. I am CO of both squads and am polling the members to see who is interested. the 2nd Sqn AVG has been active in IL2 since February 2008, while AB'has been in RB3d for the past 5-6 years.

Myself, I have been illustrating books on WWI aircraft for the past 12 years.

Salute one and all!!!
Same here Iceman, will be nice having a forum again.
Sounds great TopGun, very happy for the RoF team that this is coming to pass. Salute and KUDOS!

The Screamin Eagles are standing by, ready to help.

Email sent... Wing Walkers wait with baited breath on final selections!

Good to see all the ol' RB3D and WW1 simmers here.

Screamin' Eagles are hopefuls for the BETA. Our email has been sent.

Well here i'm the founder of "International Online Competition League" ( IOCL ) and Team USA, we fought in many occasions against world teams as well as Russian team with Storm and Viks ( They lost ;) )
I can help, I have also some good friends pilots that can help out ( TX-Ecodragon for example ) I flew with Turbine Legend, lancaire Turbine, Mig-15/17, Soko Galeb, Wacco biplane, Starggerwings 1938, Dornier, all Yak-9U's etc.. I think i can help .. I'll send the paper tomorrow..
Hi to Viks !
S~

Ok... here are my pc specs.
ZT Affinity 7304Mi-37
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300(2.5GHz)64 bit Quad-Core 6MB L2 Cache
4GB DDR2 800 500GB SATA II HD
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 7050 Graphics , Shared RAM Up to 256MB

Ok... I am pretty sure I need a new video card to run Rise of Flight, but that is about it.  Am I right?  What video cards would you recommend (not too pricey)?

Here are more specs.
Chipset
NVIDIA GeForce 7050 / nForce 610i
CPU
Core 2 Quad
CPU FSB 1333MHz
CPU Speed Q9300(2.50GHz)
Cache Per CPU 6MB
64 bit Quad-Core Processor
Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce 7050
Memory 4GB DDR2 DDR2 800 2GB x 2

Just check out main site:
Recommended (!) system requirements

Platform: PC
Operating system: Windows® XP (SP2)/Vista (SP1)
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Quad 2.6 GHz
RAM: 3 Gb
Hard disk: 8 Gb
Videocard: 768 Mb, compatible with DirectX 9.0c, with support of Pixel Shaders v3
Audio: compatible with DirectX 9.0c
Access to the Internet: 256 Kb/s
Joystick: compatible with Direct X 9.0

There is a difference between recommended and minimum specs, though. ;)

What about an AMD Core 2 3.0 GHZ
8 Gb RAM
Video card 1024 Mb
possible upgrade to AMD Core 2 Quad

As always, these recommendations are to be read as "or equivalent". It doesn't matter if it is an INTEL or AMD CPU, as long as their performance is on par.

Questions:
1) have you tried the game on an Intel-based Mac (example: 2gig processor and 3 gig ram) with a WindowsXP install (using the "bootcamp" second OS setup?
2) are you planning to accommodate a non-squaddie like Wolfgang Von Wellhausen, who created the most accurate Red Baron 3D flight model over a 4 year timeframe supported by extensive beta and actual war testing?  His FM was strong on tuning of all possible physics inputs.  Same for Wilhelm, who did the damage modeling - I don't think either hit the forums very much.

Hello Guys,

Some info about NDA: Please take care to sign both sides of the NDA (english and Russian) as it is required by Russian law.
Thank you in advance.

An application has been sent on behalf of the Boy's of 60 Squadron.

''On Line CO-OP's is what we do''
PD

he guys before joining, do not forget you will need a high end computer (=Quad), see the specs on the mainsite.

As I posted before, these are the recommended settings, not the minimum requirements to play the game.

A good dual core (especially one that's got some NOS injected running 3.2 or higher) should easily be able to run it provided your other hardware is similar.

My rig is considered "entry level" these days but still cranks through just about everything and should run this sim fine as well.

Hello Guys,

-------------

Thank god I ve a friend who speaks russian, so I can make sure I won't buy a washing machine by signing the NDA ;)

I am building a PC specifically for this game it seems like somewhere I read that it doesn't support 64bit OS. Is this correct?

@Feuerfalke, I think you do not want to play this game in minium spec mode, this always means less details or shuttering, so what to test then. This game is made for the max in performance. I know some guys here who are running lower performance systems (know this from the outher forums) I think they can not test it or they will be disappointment.
Maybe the NeoQb could give the answer here for the beta testers PC and videocard .

@dutch:
NeoBQ organized this testing so thoroughly. Do you really think they don't clear this out with the testers via eMail once they volunteered?
They have a special forum for testing and from my knowledge probably for setting the game up and optimizing, too.

So what sense would it make to start a discussion about this in comments to a blog entry???

Guys recommended settings are very high, just because you don't' meet them doesn't mean the game won't run in a great shape.

We (353rd) would love to test out the sim,we've been around since 1998.
And we have also beta tested the IL2 series,when it first came to be.
Most of our squad has more than enough of what it takes to run the sim
if specs are correct

Great news to hear the game is going into beta testing. I wish I could be on the list.

Hang on, how many of these squads on the list contain fanboys who have already posted that they aren't going to buy the game?? I am worried they will then control the game. I can hear it now! "My Spandaus are underpowered!" and "There is no way that Lewis gun should have PKd me!"

lol

Have fun guys, get this beta testing done quickly so the ex-squadron pilots can play it!

I am game!  However, I do not see the NDA.  Have a blank in the spot.

Same, WW's have received the welcome letter with NDA links, but the links are inactive. Please advise.

Sounds a bit elitist to just have people from squadron or societies. The only upside possibly is these are people that most likely will spend the most amount of time playing.

No cartman, the upside is, that they can hunt bugs in teams, are trained in formation flying and formation tactics as well as they are trained to fly online, know how to set up servers and get around network problems. They can more easily reproduce dogfight-situations and problems resulting from it.
They also are responsible for each other as a group, enhancing that NDA-agreement will be met.

I'd very much like to take part in the Beta testing.  I've been looking forward to this sim for quite a while.  I am the CO of the HellHounds and will be sending an e-mail with names of Squadron members that wish to participate this weekend.

@Feuerfalke, First point I do read every Blog here, from the start on.
I do not see the minium req anymore why???, has this something to do with Btesting???  
next; Because I know some guys are entering the beta testphase without the right system. They are so enthousiastically about RoF they can not ressist this. From my point it was only a warning, sorry if my messages made you boiled!!.

Man I wish I could use my business 4core system at home for Btesting, I need only to exchange the Vcard, but it is forbidden.

You didn't make me boil. I just pointed out, that this is part of the organization of the closed beta-test, at least those tests I participated in, which were quite a few.
But as you stated, there are no minimum requirements available for the latest build, so it's also possible reports from testers with low-end-machines is used to determine those.

So, again, just pointing out, that they know what they are doing.

I am CO of the Danger Dogz, a stable squad of over 50 active pilots. I am also a Moderator at Ubi Soft Forums. For some strange reason, my name was left off the beta group. Is there any way I could be included please?

2 DD_Blairgowrie: Did you send application to the beta@neoqb.com?

I wonder, if there is going to be open beta testing???

Best wishes and regards to game development team

Guys, once again thanks a lot for your activity, help and support.
We are collecting your applications till Monday, and after final list of participants will be defined, we will start sending invitations to the beta-test with access to the closed forum.
Use beta@neoqb.com for applications and questions.
Stay in touch.

S! Trouble and other old friends. Hope to see you all in the skies very soon

Have a little question. Whats date is limit for your recieve scaned copy? and what for hardcopy?

"About PC configuration: there are no rules to it, and from one hand for us is useful to have feedback from different pс, but try to follow minimum requirements, cause too slow pc will do your playing uncomfortable." -TopGun

I know the question has been asked, and perhaps the quote above is the answer, but are there minimum specifications? I haven't found them anywhere on the site.

It is possible that you meant "recommended specifications", but I would like to be clear on this as we want to provide you with qualified BETA testers.

S!~

Lt. Colonel Tiger
Commanding Officer
1st Pursuit Squadron, =AVG=

@Viper,

As posted by TopGun two posts above you, they're collecting until Monday. So that answers your first question. Since they want a scan of the reciept by monday also, they'll know you met the deadline.

It will probably take (on average) 8-10 working days for USPS service to deliver from US to Moscow. I'm unsure of other countries. But Neoqb will have your reciept saying you sent it before the deadline no matter what date the actual hard paper copy arrives. So that should answer your second question as well.

I suspect they want reciepts from the postal service so they can move forward with this without having to wait for every hard copy to show up at the office. Kudos to them for that proceedure!

<S!>

"Please pay attention: if in a week time we do not receive scanned copy of the post receipt we will block the access to the game to all members. . ."

That seems to imply we have a week after the deadline for the scans, is it correct that it's the 11th of April for the scans? My post office will not be open until Monday.

S~ all
This looks as if it’s coming together with a bit of pace now.
Keep it going.

T4, DT, hmm, good company

Hello Topgun,
I've sent the NDA scans for The Tngmere Pilots as a .zip and with "Mediafire". The .zip was too big to do it by e-mail.
Is this a problem?
S! Tigertooo

I heard RJB was sniffing around, it must be time to get registered and all! Been trolling for an eternity it seems .. I know this is going to be good.

BAZ! there you are! email me please.

Hi all from the MightyDemons,Looking Great! bring it on!S~

Oooooooohhhhhhhh...Man and I seeing ghosts around here or what?!?! Man its great to see you guys are still around. Looking forward to having Dart and WW_Taco back in my gunsights again! Look forward to seeing yall in the air soon.

Salute from JG1/Jasta 11.

Well Riv'
Only way you'll see Taco in your gunsights is for the split second before ya burst into flames and go down because I was behind ya (I got your back Taco!) You forget where theres one WW, theres 10 more ;) RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT   <S!> Great to see you too Riv'!
Been a long time!

What a wonderful way to get the ball rolling. I have a question: I currently run a fan sight for iRacing. We recently switched over from JCRacing.net to ImpoundRacing.com. JCRacing was started in July of 2007, so technically we've been up for almost 2 years. I can add an additional Rise of Flight Category to our site, or possibly have another forum under ImpoundRacing.com. Would this be acceptable?

Good morning Guys, it 11-00 AM here in Moscow and
we have finished collecting your applications. Thank you for your activity, we were happy to recieve your applications from various places, but due to the limitations of total number of participants we cant accept everybody at this moment. What is really amazing is the understanding that we all have something to share with each other, we are all in the same sky.
I will inform you about final list of participating squads on Wednesday. Thanks.

"The Tangmere Pilots" are hoping for the best and fearing for the worst...

Oh dear dear Brian....you forget about "MY" wingman, Deglow. His DR1 was watching you the whole time.....:o)

JG1_RivRat

And I'm behind Deg... watching in awe of the whole... errr with my guns jammed, I mean... ;)

*Stares at post box*

Good luck with the selections gentlemen! S~

when will we, the ordinary people see 1st test reports and impressions...

First 2 of 5 BOA NDA's emailed in... Looking forward to this!!!!

So the squads have already been contacted?

Hello TopGun.
Could you check on the beta for me. I noticed the 214th wasn't listed, But Ive already gotten the invite email. I emailed the NDA scans yesterday.  Snail mailed the NDA's this morning and then emailed the scan of the post office receipt. Just want to make sure everything is ok and those email didn't get spam trapped or anything.

In to help you guys =)

Hi fellas, anyone able to logg onto ROF forums?

No haven't been able since 12.00 GMT Friday.

oops, I meant Thursday, darn holidays have thrown me.

Down eveytime I try for a day and a half now.

At least the server is up!

S!~ TopGun,

Message received and understood, sir.

Lt. Colonel Tiger
Commanding Officer
1st Pursuit Squadron, =AVG=

Seems the RoF server and webpage won't accept 93.97 IP addresses so I am stuck at the moment

*Tap, tap!*..."Hellooooo...Anybody home?"

Well... I hope there is a sign of life Monday...

Rather difficult to convey information to the publisher by osmosis.

But, I do hope everyone had an enjoyable Easter holiday.

I thought that in Russia you celebrate Orthodox Easter, which is next weekend, but then again I assume it's holiday there for the Western Christian Easter nonetheless, that's double holiday! I only hope we haven't lost what has been posted so far!

It's back up.

Well....that was a it premature. I can log into the site, but there's nothing there. :\

You need to be logged in to see the forums.

I think some issues may have been sorted within the last hours, and ervice restored to a few of us that were having viewing difficulties.

Why it's so hard to be able to be a part of the beta!!!????  WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Guys,

Just heard about the game and it look fantastic

Too bad that I am not in a squad to participate to the beta However, if you are looking to test your MP code over here in Canada, I will be more than happy to help you guys.

Cannot wait to play this game, had so much fun playing Red Baron !

Because neoqb knows they have something worth protecting Bob. Have a look at the history of development. It has been a long long road. I for one will be sending volumes of user feedback in hopes they will publish some of it to those starving for some stick time. I'm an old timer...I got hooked on WWI air sims when Microsoft released their game right after F19 stealth fighter...I remember 1 bullet 1 kill

To attention of beta-testers !

There was an DDOS attack out our hosting partner, so many of you havent seen our domain.
So if you still didnt see it, please do following:

- download this util http://winmtr.sourceforge.net/winmtr_bin.zip
- after install it, in type in "Host" line: www.riseofflight.ru push "Start" wait 2 minutes and push "stop"
- it create logfile - please send it to us.
- if you can (and if you didnt see us) please send me your IP via e-mail (beta#neoqb.com).

Thanks you!

Guys, please pay attention that some email services put letters from neoqb to spam folder (e.g. yahoo). Please check it from time to time.
Thank you.

Hey, Rof team, don't forget all the others! We are seating here like a duck waiting for news or some updates.
Keep going with the good work.

I want to upgrade my PC to an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ 3.2Ghz or 6000+ 3.1Ghz.  
Is this the right CPU for playing RoF or is this game then only to play at low settings. See not any AMD recommended spec's here.

hello im j-ckiller32 and I want to no how to join a squad. I dont really understad why we have to join a squad to get your demo please awnser my question.

j-ckiller32, it's not a demo it's a beta and the requirements are necessary to get serious people involved, not just people who personally wanna try the game but also people that can give constant and concrete feedback to the developers regarding the game.

You're just gonna have to wait for an official demo.

j-ckiller32, in case you made a joke:
It's a really bad one.

In case you are not making a joke:

A DEMO...
is a version of the game released to the public to try out the game before buying it. You don't have to be in a squad to get to play the DEMO!

A BETA-TEST-VERSION...
is an early release to a selected crew to find bugs and flaws in the game, so they can be fixed BEFORE the DEMO or the FINAL RELEASE. This is what they doing and this is limited to squads for various reasons.

Hi beta testers using a dual core CPU Intel or AMD. Could you share your experience in performance. Because I do not know if my upgrade (AMD Athlon64 X2 6400+ 3.2Ghz)will bring any advance for playing RoF or is it just a waste of $$$$ and should I go for a new Mobo/QuadCPU. It will be nice if you could share me you dualcore model & Ghz and is the performance sufficient for getting the max grahpic performance.

Dutch, VikS has posted some information at SimHQ along with some hints at what would be the best hardware to have: simhq.com/.../1.html

I don't think I've seen him say what it would take to run maximum quality. He states that in their tests an Intel Core2 Quadcore CPU at 2.66GHz was 30-40% faster than a dualcore 2.66 Core2Duo.

Of course most QuadCore cpus are less able to reach the high overclock frequencies of a dual core until you look at the higher end Q9550 or Q9650s which can hit 4.0-4.4 GHz similar to an E8400/E8500.

dutch, the NDA prohibits testers to release any information about the game, the beta and other internal stuff.

Until official news have been released, check the forums or information available, like TX-EcoDragon summing up the statements.

No money? fly with funny! Play the great game RoF!

How many time we have to wait more for some news or update video or images or something?
16 days withought nothing...
I know beta testers and you rof team are busy at this momment but say something, please!

Huh?

The last update is 7 days old?

I havent seen any updates in April and today is the 16th. He is just anxious to hear some news and how things are progressing along just as I am.

Thanks *church!
At least someone understand me.
*Feuerfalke, sorry for my bad english. But i think you understand what i had said. But if you prefer i type in Portuguese.
I translate it for you:
"quanto tempo teremos nós de esperar por mais algumas noticias, novos videos e imagens ou qualquer outra coisa?
16 dias sem nada...
Eu sei que a equipa do ROF e os que estão a testar a versão beta, estão ocupados de momento, mas por favor digam qualquer coisa!

I'm really sorry to hear there is no google in Portugal. I will lend you mine:

wwiaircombat.com/.../rise-of-flight-collectors-edition-revealed

*Feuerfalke, don't keep me wrong if i ask you this question:
Can you tell me the link to the official website of Rise of Flight?
Why we have to search on others sites?
By the way... Google??? Whats that?

Just to make it clear:
This is a developers BLOG, nothing more nothing less.

www.riseofflight.com
...is the official site of the developers and the game.

http://www.nd.ru/news/957707/
...is the NEWS-site for the publisher. That is where you find the official news beyond personal statements listed in a dev-blog.

I'm looking forward to reading news about how it goes to what is allowable to see from the NDA. I suppose I should find out if that Imagination network, Red Baron squadron is still around which I was a member of... /smirk

Can someone please tell me where to download the patch? I am pulling my hair out here! I go to riseofflight.com/.../Patch-1004.aspx

I click the link that says "Patch 1.004", which basically opens a duplicate page - no download options given. I have read the whole page. Nowhere does it say where to get the patch. I have googled it - nothing.

(I am still waiting to play this sim that I purchased weeks ago, because the Triplehead2Go compatible sales pitch I fell for wasn't exactly true. A little bird tells me that this patch has rectified the FOV issues to some degree)

Thanks!
