Dear Pilots!
First of all, we want to thank all those who wrote positive reviews about version 1.019. This gives us optimism that the future is bright and even more interesting for ROF and such comments charge us up for pushing forward. Thank you so much! For developers there is nothing better than to see that their efforts bring a new set of emotions to a user. And of course, it is a pleasure that you return positive emotions to us. This cycle creates a very positive working atmosphere for our team. The results of such a good working environment you can see right now.
A Russian proverb says, "What goes around comes around.” So, since you waited a very long time for 1.019, we decide to release another version in short order before our summer vacations begin. It will include a few simple changes in the interface that we could see through your initial reaction this week and of course we will release our latest new aircraft ASAP.
Meet one of the most successful two-seat aircraft of the 20th century, the thoroughbred British Bristol Fighter! There are many works of literature dedicated to this aircraft and the data can be inconsistent and sometimes just fantastic, but they tell the tale of a magnificent warplane. The “Brisfit” was a fairly large aircraft with two crew members, but it was a dangerous and effective fighter plane! Could this be true? Well, for instance, Andrew Edward McKeever achieved 31 aerial victories with this aircraft. Gunner Charles George Gass earned 39 aerial victories, standing in the turret of this bird. Well, we think the title of "legendary" is well deserved for this aircraft.
Flight tests of this machine have begun and we are looking forward to fine tuning its performance with the precise measurements flight testing brings. But the plane has already climbed into the air and therefore, as is our tradition, we are opening up pre-orders for this aircraft today.
As you know, in the past, we have replaced the engines on certain aircraft after release (Fokker DVII, DVIIF and Pfalz XII). Now we have decided to try initially releasing an aircraft with additional engine choices which were installed at different periods. Bristol had the two most successful engines of Rolls Royce at its disposal. So, we will introduce the aircraft with two engine models available – the Falcon II and Falcon III. The design was versatile and the engine was installed under a hood, so it was not always easy to tell them apart and both were present in the RAF at various times. So, we have decided to install different propellers on each engine which was seen in the field during the war. The Falcon II will receive a 2-bladed propeller and the Falcon III will have a 4-bladed propeller.
Because there will be two full versions of the Bristol, the price for this plane will be slightly higher. So the pre-order will allow you to save considerably. We hope to bring this aircraft in a short time and pass it into your hands at the end of June. Along with the announcement of the opening of the pre-orders, I bring more images of this magnificent airplane to you.
Thanks again for your positive feedback. We wish you cool tidings throughout this summer!
The ROF Team
