Pilots,

It's easy to underestimate the amount of work it takes to write, edit, illustrate and localize a user manual for a complicated combat flight-sim like ROF. Hence, we have never had a big manual due to resource restrictions and language barriers.

Our manuals have always been just enough to get a player started and cover the basics. Plus with all the changes to ROF the manual quickly became obsolete and we know that was frustrating for new users.



So, in the second half of 2011 I recruited four ROF community members to write a new ROF User Manual that is more useful and in-depth than ever before. We certainly think it is and we think you will too.

This manual is too big to be printed and stuffed in a box, but it will be included on every disk we make in the future and available for download on our website.

This manual will be updated over time and more sections will be added to as we go. We already have several sections identified as needed additions. It will evolve as ROF does and it will also eventually be localized into other major languages. For now it is just in English.

This manual is the culmination of many, many hours from LukeFF, Charlo, Zoring and Squid. They deserve huge kudos and appreciation! Everyone did marvellous work, but I want to single out LukeFF especially, who wrote the vast majority of the text. A herculean effort for sure. Charlo, Zoring and Squid added their own expertise and artistic talent to put it all together. I hope you'll enjoy their work.

And a special thanks to ROEN911 for his permission to use his beautiful ROF inspired artwork as the cover.

As you explore this document you will no doubt find errors, ommissions or other areas that can be improved. Feel free to post your thoughts in this thread. Please, please, please be kind and respectful to the team who built it.

In the future I may tap others in the community to contribute their talenets to updating the manual.

I hate this registration it gives me a "Invalid Captcha" yet I can't see a captcha and no captcha is in site anywhere on the actual site itself :S I'll update the game and then try again in the morning in case the update leads me to another page where it lets you register :S

Edit got it to work just updated and then created from the game a account +

Flying the plane is near impossible

RoF is absolutely the best all-round flight combat sim now available. I downloaded the "Free to Play" version less than a year ago after I got a computer I knew could handle it, upgraded to the full game very quickly, and by now have bought almost all of the extra planes. And its well worth it. The graphics are absolutely astounding and the sound really captures what it must have sounded like to fly these open cockpit jobs. With all the difficulty options turned on the flight models of some planes are killers...of you. Also the menu interface is great and, unlike some other newer sims I could mention, there's a great single-player career mode - which is half the fun of being a WW1 flying ace. There's also a full campaign and mission designer.

any decent multiplay yet? That's where I get my jollys from, I get bored real quick with campaigns and careers etc. I much prefer to pit my myself against other humans.
