Philadelphia Experiment gone horribly wrong. :rotfl2:

Showing my commander I'm okay! (Moments later I was spinning out of control until I hit the ground with a tremendous force...the SPAD VII can be a real deathtrap) :-?

You're telling me.

So, first time with Rise of Flight. I boot her up, select the default Spad and jump into a quick dogfight, just to see how it goes.

Yes, this is a familiar sight, the mad break and scramble for advantage, what's that grey thing on my righ-BLAM

Got my first kill!

(I've since learnt how to remove all the clutter)

Heheh, the first dogfights I had tended to end up like that! :haha:

Collisions are reasonably common in this game, making it so much more nervwrecking when you enter a real furball! :D

Yep, collision probability pretty high...

The typical results of a rapid execution of the Raptor Maneuvre: Heavily damaged aircraft nosed over in the middle of nowhere. In the background are two Jerries which were kind enough not to strafe me.

The failed form of landing is presented by Task Force to the left, while the correct one is displayed by myself to the right.

Two dishes of cooked Albatros with a side of Fokker, please.

I forgot how much torque these rotary engines have.

Raptor breaks his engine and returns to base in a rather permanent manner.

Oberon encounters an enemy bi-plane, is wounded by the first shot and manages to land behind friendly lines.

And with a nice dodge between two hangars, parks up safely.

I think we've found the forefathers of the Lolwaffles! :D

How you guys enjoying the game? And what settings are you flying with? :88)

Quite enjoying it, and flying full realism. :yep:

http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/j...__22_11_47.jpg

Kinda blurry since someone busted a cap in my bottom a little earlier, but you can kinda see a speck with a white exhaust trail chasing another speck, which would be Oberon chasing his kill, and another speck in a field just off the edge of the wing, which would be Raptor.

It's much better than I expected, actually. Anyway...

What is this, a coordinated take-off? Back to flight school!

I believe it's on high realism, radiators, not sure about auto-mixture because the Albatros D.V doesn't have mixture apparently.

I'm quite enjoying it, it feels a lot like putting on an old pair of gloves not worn since OFF was free (Phase 2 IIRC), however the handling is certainly a par above OFF at that phase, the Albatros is a much more forgiving aircraft than the Spad.

Multiplayer is beautiful, no warping, no major lag, everything ran just lovely.

The only gripe I have is the view panning, but that has been fixed with Newview, which I'm going to have to tweak because I don't like the blind spot at about 170 to 200 degrees behind me...I just know it's going to hide an SE.5 one day.

Some screenshots from the second mission, including my first kill! :rock:

Photographic evidence, they can't say 'probable' to me now!

'Probable' landing though...

Took me most of the day, but there we go. :rock:
