Hello, fellow pilots!
Together with you we've carried through a great job for the last year. Through intensive disputes you tried to share with us your point of view on project's evolution and we tried to hear everyone and used your valuable opinion in our work. Along with the definite pluses of such intensive and productive work we’ve also found some minuses. One issue is the size of the initial update you need to download in order to start flying. In our last survey you highlighted this as one of the major problems. We understand this problem and decided to solve it by releasing all later updates on the DVD so new users will not have such difficulty. So we are working with our partners and releasing an improved and expanded version of ROF and it is called Rise Of Flight: Iron Cross Edition (ROF:ICE)
Please see the Press Release from our North American Partner 777 Studios. Download here.
ROF:ICE DVD will contain all innovations, improvements and new game modes since the moment of first release. Moreover there will be some of the best airplanes of WWI included in the package. Four German aircraft: Fokker D.VII, Albatros D.Va, Pfalz D.IIIa, Fokker Dr.1. And four allied aircraft: Spad XIII, Nieuport 28, SE.5a, Sopwith Camel. We wanted to increase the number of flyable planes available to new users and hope more and more virtual flyers will enjoy ROF. We will have more to say about ROF:ICE in the very near future.
Also there will be two campaigns included: recently released “Hat in the Ring” which takes us through the most important combat events of the 94th squadron, mainly formed from American volunteers, and the new campaign “Du Doch Nicht”, telling us about combat experience of Ernst Udet, German Ace, second before Manfred von Richthofen by combat performance. Both campaigns are based on real facts and made with maximal historical accuracy. The official Skin-Pack featuring hundreds of historically accurate paintjobs will be also included, so you won’t have to download them.
ROF:ICE will be released in North America at June 29th. We will have information about release in other countries at a later date and will inform you ASAP.
We hope to release the 1.013 update on 11th of June. The list of changes and improvements will be posted on our forum at the day of initial release.
A lot of users, participated in our survey, noted that the current release of demo-version is incapable to reveal all game’s potential and options.
So, along with 1.013 update the new demo-version will be released.
The Rise Of Flight Demo will include:
- Two aircraft - Spad XIII and Albatros D.Va
- Two single missions, one per aircraft
- The full access to 2 multiplayer modes during all demo validity period
- The demo validity period will be extended up to 14 days
Also we have one important announcement.
From 23:59, 6th of June all transactions involving credit cards, Yandex.Money and WebMoney in our online shop will be temporarily put on a hold due to the beginning of maintenance procedures with ChronoPay provider. The maintenance may take a week or two. For this period the only way to pay will be PayPal. Actually, it is not so bad, because it is the most stable and secure transaction system available today. For example PayPal is the only system approved by eBay for transactions. There's no charge to open a PayPal account and to transfer money from your bank account to your PayPal account. There is also no charge to purchase items using PayPal. It is very easy to create an account; you can use Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. More information about PayPal you can find here. We apologize for this inconvenience, but we hope to have our regular CC processing system up shortly.
Thank you for attention, we are getting back to work.
