Does anyone play Rise of Flight United? I've been looking for people to fly with, but the game isn't very popular.
For those of you that don't know, it's a extremely realistic WWI flight simulator (none of this BF1 bullshit where you can climb at an 89 degree angle). It's free on steam, but only comes with a couple of aircraft. You need to buy the rest through DLC. If you're interested, add me on steam: yoyo8346.

I really enjoy the game though I like flying the bombers more than anything. Once my new hardware gets here I'm down to fly some. Also look into IL2 battle of Stalingrad and Moscow. I play that game a lot as well and with the new WW2 DCS WORLD coming out in may. I'll be playing that as well.

Cool. I too am more of a tactical bomber. I use a mouse, so winning dogfights is nearly impossible against someone with a joystick. I was thinking about forming a casual Kasta battalion of two-seater Halberstadts, or a Bosta battalion of Gothas.

That would be pretty fun. Though I do recommend getting a joystick. They make it a lot easier

I might get one. I have a full steering yoke and throttle quadrant, but it's meant for modern flight simulators. The yoke is a bit cumbersome too.

I have a replica of a Bf109 joystick they just came out with. I love the thing they make decent joysticks for 60 bucks or less though mine was 350. But a 60 dollar one can be just as goodOriginally Posted by yoyo8346

I love the game, and I have all the planes.

I haven't played in some time but I do like it. I'm down to play, though me and my friends only play on full real servers most of the time.
I also play Il2 1946, Cliffs of Dover, Stalingrad and DCS.
Also, a flight stick is a must imo. Keyboard and mouse are very hard to use and be good with. The best stick for the money is the T16000m made by thrustmaster. It's very precise. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...w&gclsrc=aw.ds

Oh yeah, that thing...
I been thinking about getting it just to play as the largest aircraft and scare the hell out of everyone, so once I get it, count me in nerds!

"You ever even play Verdun? And I am not talking about some casual matches where you got mowed down by an MG over and over. I am talking about clans and stuff. B-hopping everywhere, headshotting kids left and right with the Kar98, being the goddamn PISTOL KING! Verdun is far from realistic, and it's historical accuracy is often sacrificed for better gameplay."

A few of us in the 8th VA flew RoF for the longest time, usually as a break-period from IL2. It has issues but is largely enjoyable.
