They've released some pics of the new Floaty boat thingie.

WANT!

I already bought the German floatplane and pre-ordered the Channel map. Hope they finish it soon...

That is a nice looking plane.

Even without the channel map, there is a LOT of good content already in.
And if you want an extra campaign you can purchase the St. Mihiel one which is pretty nice.

At the moment I only have the fighter planes in my collection, no bombers, or support. It only means you can't fly them as far as I know, but they all are available as AI aircraft.

Went in single player last night and repeatedly tried to land the Gotha. Failed every time with a nose first flipover. Lol, I guess it's a good thing that I always get shot down in MP, before returning to base. Makes it less embarrassing than a failed landing.

No doubt.

I can imagine the Gotha being a total beast to do anything with, especially land. The British flying boat above is nice but the German one really makes my loins tighten.

Can someone who has the St. Mihiel map give a quick description?

FYI the ROF:Iron Cross edition is on sale at Gamersgate right now for $11.98.

If you wait for a sale at the Rise of Flight store, it'll be cheaper. The Gamersgate version of ICE comes with 5 planes, two of which you get free anyway. The other three planes you get will be $2.99 each on sale.

So despite a head cold I finally started training last night and completed the first tutorial on basic flight, with a Spad. I felt proud of myself until my nose started dripping on the joystick. Going in for the take off and landing tutorial today/tonight. The cut scenes are well done except for the voice-acting which is clearly done by someone who does not have English as a first language. And the flight model for the Spad is sensitive, I'll have to adjust it!

Silent Disapproval Robot · December 11, 2012, 12:29:57 PM

If you think the SPAD is sensitive, don't go anywhere near the Camel or the Dr.1.

Gusington · December 11, 2012, 02:09:10 PM

I only crashed once while going through the course :) Maybe if I get used to the really responsive/sensitive planes the others will be much easier...

LongBlade · December 11, 2012, 02:10:57 PM

I downloaded and installed it last night, though I didn't fire it up.

Gusington · December 11, 2012, 02:11:48 PM

I am not going to try combat until I have completed the tutorials.

Tuna · December 11, 2012, 02:46:29 PM

lol.. spent my lunch break today trying to land the Gotha again.. no luck.. nose first tumble every time!!!

Like I said before, in MP you never get the 'chance' to land.. cause the NME always feeds on you.. but still I'd like to 'be able' to, if I ever did make it back to friendly territory unscathed!
