"The LOGIN OFFLINE feature will now be available. The mode of login can be chosen in the user authorization screen. I remind you that you need to download the latest update (1.011) for offline gaming and the first logon must be in LOGIN ONLINE. After that, you'll be free to choose the login mode you prefer. Also, I'd like to stress that after any new content purchase, you must LOGIN ONLINE for new content activation. After activation, purchased content will, likewise, be available either in offline or online mode. If you decide to LOGIN ONLINE after active offline flying, the game will prompt you to synchronize your achievements with the master-server automatically. That process can take some time, however you will have an option to abort it. Of course, the main gaming mode is still ONLINE, as it was initially designed, so not all game features will be available in offline mode. But this should address the main problems you asked us to handle, which is really our main priority. You can now spend (most of) your time within Rise Of Flight without connection to the internet."

Thx Biggles :salute: You answered my 3 questions.

To turn the game on you still have to have internet.

The first time yes, but from what I could gather, not after that?

From what I understand you still need to be connected to the server in order to advance with the off-line campaign.

IMPORTANT!!! You can get through campaign missions in any mode, ONLINE or OFFLINE. But the next mission will be available only after you complete the previous and your achievements data is sent to master-server. In this case, it might be easier to simply be logged in ONLINE while you play. But the choice is yours.

Let's not make this personal, just discuss the issue, guys.

Actually, you don't. though it is easy to overlook.
You don't need to connect to the server at all, just to play offline. The desktop shortcut points to the "rof_updater", so don't use that one.
Follow this path to launch without connecting...you can even make a desktop shortcut.

1. Can I play it at 30,000ft while flying to a SubSim meet ?

2. Can I play it in the middle of the Sahara Desert 1000 miles from nowhere?

3. Can I play it on the Moon ?

Other words with this patch can I play it at any of these places ?

Without Internet

You can't install the game there, but you can play most game modes
apart from campaign mode there. No internet required.
