5.0 out of 5 stars Great way to dive into an Excellent WWI Flight Sim, January 22, 2014
This review is from: Rise of Flight: Channel Battles Edition - Windows (select) (DVD-ROM)
Rise of Flight is an outstanding WWI flight simulation, and the release of the Channel Battles Edition (RoF CBE) provides an easy, cost-effective way to take advantage of some of the great extra content that is available above and beyond that which comes with the basic, Free-to-Play version. With RoF CBE, you get everything that comes with the standard/free version plus 8 additional flyable aircraft, the wonderful Channel Map (in addition to the original Western Front map), and some extra missions designed specially for use with the Channel Map.

The 8 extra flyable aircraft that come with RoF-CBE include some of the most iconic aircraft of WWI - such as the Sopwith Camel and Fokker Triplane of Roy Brown/Manfred von Richthofen fame (or Snoopy and the Red Baron fame, for those of a certain age). But the big bonus is probably the inclusion of the Felixstowe F.2a - a hulking beast of a twin-engined, multi-crewed flying boat often used to patrol for marauding U-boats or to... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional flight sim experience!, January 22, 2014
By 
This review is from: Rise of Flight: Channel Battles Edition - Windows (select) (DVD-ROM)
Years ago while I was playing other flight simulators (WWI First Eagles, Over Flanders Fields 2 & 3, WWII IL2 series, CFS3, and various jet sims...) Rise of Flight was released and caught everyone's attention in the flight sim community with the level of detail on the aircraft, terrain, and incredible physics/flight model engine. In short it created a new standard that arguably has yet to be equaled. Real-world small aircraft pilots have stated that Rise of Flight comes closer to the sense of actually flying than anything else out there. Each aircraft feels different, has its own performance characteristics, and beware, their own quirks in flight! You can fly in engaging single player campaigns, or my personal favorite, go online and actually fly with and against real people.

Channel Battles Edition includes the much anticipated expansion of Rise of Flight into the air and sea war over the English Channel, North Sea, and Flanders/Belgian Coastline. It allows you to fly... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Rise of Flight. Not one to go without., January 22, 2014
This review is from: Rise of Flight: Channel Battles Edition - Windows (select) (DVD-ROM)
This is one of the best flight simulators that I have ever run across. It does have a bit of a learning curve and having a joy stick is a must. I have had hundreds of hours enjoying Rise of Flight and it's community. The game has excellent graphics, sounds, and flight models. Each plane has it's own characteristics and place. As far as following history, it's spot on. I cannot express how much fun this game really is and also how much I have learned about aviation history through this game. Rise of Flight is the only one of it's kind and is well worth the purchase...and some.
