Does anybody know how this is going to work when the dynamic campaign is released? Will you be able to specify start and stop dates to avoid planes you don't have? Or will it substitute a plane you do have from that time period so you can continue the campaign? Or will you have to purchase planes for the whole war period to make sure you are covered?
Thanks for the feedback,
RR Interesting question although I haven't thought of this as I own them all  Jason, can you provide anything on this yet and how it will work for folks who have just a few planes?

You just keep flying the older plane if you don't have the newer one. Eventually you'll be outclassed or outgunned and probably dead.

I bought and installed it.
Only thing I was wondering is whether there should be any updates? I tried to update and it said nothing is available but haven't there been updates released since ICE came out middle of last year?
Or is the current digital download of ICE fully updated?

Played about 45 minutes last night. Smooth and beautiful. Couple of quick questions, though:
- Googling general RoF info brings up a ton of sites. Is there any particular place that's got a comprehensive Wiki? Plane documentation, setups, etc?
- The TIR5 seems to be working just peachy, but I seem to be really 'zoomed in', like I've got binoculars strapped to the face. There is *some* 6DOF effect, but not much... leaning back doesn't really zoom out like it does in 1946 6DOF. Am I missing something?
Going to take a lot of practice. Manage to take down a few mediocre AI pilots flying D7s, but stall/spin recovery is going to take some work. My 2500+ online hours in high performance birds in IL2 doesn't seem to count for much. ;-)

This seems like a good place for all us Amazon noobs to post our questions and keep the forum uncluttered.
1. Can anyone tell me how to set up mouselook? Some of the options seem a little vague. Is move head right supposed to be turn head right? I've tried mapping the mouse to move head horizontal, move head right, move head left, move head down and move head up, making sure to unassociate the mouse axis to other keybinds each time and save the config, but my head just twitches whenever I move the mouse. I can get the zoom to work, but not the mouse movement.
2. Is there a way to increase the dead zone on the joystick, everything seems a little rubber-bandy so far. I did not see a dead zone option in the joystick page.
3. Is there a way to turn off the zoom reset when I recharge the guns? It doesn't show up very often but it is kind of annoying.
Thank you for any help.

Thanks for posting this. I just picked it up. Now I have the pleasure to say that I have too many new flight sims to be able to play them all.

This seems like a good place for all us Amazon noobs to post our questions and keep the forum uncluttered. This site and the company site: http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewforum.php?f=4...are the two "main" forums for RoF related stuff. 1. Can anyone tell me how to set up mouselook? Some of the options seem a little vague. Is move head right supposed to be turn head right? I've tried mapping the mouse to move head horizontal, move head right, move head left, move head down and move head up, making sure to unassociate the mouse axis to other keybinds each time and save the config, but my head just twitches whenever I move the mouse. I can get the zoom to work, but not the mouse movement. Sorry, cannot help you here. 2. Is there a way to increase the dead zone on the joystick, everything seems a little rubber-bandy so far. I did not see a dead zone option in the joystick page. Clicking in the Options menu (think that's it) will bring you to the Joystick Response Curve screen where you can set different response curves by aircraft. The 0%'s in the middle of the curve box determine dead zone settings - simply move the slider and test until you get the dead zone level that feel best. I too had the same issue w/ jerky planes and setting a dead zone did calm things down a bit. Be sure to save as another name (I do mine per a/c) so your settings are not overwritten by a later update.
3. Is there a way to turn off the zoom reset when I recharge the guns? It doesn't show up very often but it is kind of annoying.
Not sure if there is.

It sounds like you might have a duplicate key binding. Look at "recharge guns" in control setup, if there's a double square in the box then that means you have 2 controls mapped to one key or button. Mousing over the box will bring up a tooltip with the other binding. I had a view key bound with mg recharge, every time a cocked my mgs the view jerked around. Hope this helps.

Hi all,
My apologies if this was asked on other threads but is there a difference between a downloadable version and boxed? Printed map , manual, that sort of thing?
I assume the download can be backed up or re-downloaded "forever", right?
Thanks.

There's no actual difference in gameplay or features. Just whats printed in the box. And yes you can play it forever and install as many times as you want.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's on sale anywhere. I'm surprised the Amazon sale lasted as long as it did.
Direct2Drive and GamersGate went back up to US$50. GoGamer is down for the moment, so I can't check there.

I just took advantage of the offer, the game looks swell! just need a trackir now.. my trackir2 finally died. Just as well (not to cheer equipment dying of course), there have been so many refinements to TIR since version 2, when you try a newer one it'll knock your socks off. I've been using TIR 4 with version 5 beta software and it's been great. The average prices are $120 and $150 respectively for 4 and 5 models, though I'll bet that some patience stalking eBay auctions would turn up cheaper prices. If I was going to spend the dough anyway I'd take the 5 and spend the few extra bucks. It's somewhat better than the 4, but not worth it for me just to get the newest one while mine's working just fine. I also use the Trackclip Pro and think its active projectors are a bit more stable and reliable than the passive reflectors used in the standard clip. Mine's really showing its age; the headset clamp is getting unreliable and the main pivot's getting worn out. I can't gripe too much, it's going on 6 years old or so and has held up fine till now. So...I just ordered a new one. Unfortunately, neither eBay or Amazon offers it by itself so I had to order it from NaturalPoint...gad, 11 bucks shipping, I wish Amazon had it! Still, I got it in the spiffy red color, which I didn't know they made but was happy to find =MFC=Gunloon
