FAQ:

1: how do I fix the resolution on the steam version of the game?

A: Go into the game directory>data>startup CFG file. you can edit the startup resolution there.

thanks to GeneUnit for this answer

2:Where can I look to learn the basics of gunplay and maneuvering?

A: The Youtube channel run by Requiem10NS would be a good place to start. Link here

3:I cannot get the game to launch? What do I do?

A:Make sure your PC is able to handle the minimum settings that ROF requires and that you are up to date. Most old Iron Cross Edition discs will be very out of date and therefore it would be better to download the F2P client and save the ICE code from your disc version for that.

4: Is the steam version and website version compatible?

A: No, they are not compatible.

Anyone on Multiplayer?

Is anyone still playing multiplayer or would like to start? I would like play with other humans. :)

There are open servers, but you can only find bots there.

Need help with initial setup....PLEASE!

I could really use some help here if anyone checks this board any more.

I've tried and tried to set up a HOTAS for this game but just can't sort it out. I'm using a Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X but my issue is with the game and incomplete manual. I've set up dozens of flight sims but this one is a doozy.

My BASIC goal is to LOCK the camera to my plane in external view. In other words, if external view is at my 6, it stays there when I begin my turn or dive.

The default seems to be that when I turn 90 to the right my camera stays put while my plane rotates.

I've tried setting the camera to 'cinematic view' but that seems to have no effect. I'm about to give up as this is the 4th time I've loaded the game and have been unable to get this set up.

I open the manual and the settings are incredibly complex and non-standard compared to other flight sims.

Nowhere in the manual that I can see is a description of camera settings such as "camera local yaw", "camera head unlink cockpit", "camera padlock local ground".

One more time - any help would be appreciated.

Where can I find my replays?

I've made a couple of replays that I'd love to share with my friends.

Is there a folder that holds the replays or no?

I want to get the game but I have a few questions

1, I have a lot of experience in war thunder and I’d say I’m pretty good at dogfighting. What can I expect from this that’s different from war thunder realistic battles?

2, how will I fare just by myself? I don’t have anyone to play with and I’ve heard that might be a problem

3, can I get by with just a mouse and keyboard?

Last tutorial mission

I'm currently at the last tutorial mission and I wanted to know if it's normal to be this hard as in "something you have to go back after more hours of game" or if it's expected that you can complete it. I can kill the first plane, after some time trying to get into his back, but the other two planes destroy me. Don't know if I'm meant to complete this or if it's done too hard for newbies.

Beginner here, got three questions

-Albatros Dva Sights: I play using Track Ir and I read that this plane was the best beginner trainer plane. I have a hard time aiming with either iron sights and the orange holographic sights due to the position of the sights, it makes me have to lean to the left because that is where the sights align, and when getting closer to a enemy plane having to do that is a bit uncomfortable. How do you guys do it? Do you move the player character inside the pilot seat so it aligned to the sights and you don't have to manually move there irk?

-Ammo: When doing quick missions against 3 enemy planes I always end up without ammo, is there a way to refill in game?

-Matches recorded : When seeing the recorded result of a match, when trying to move in free look to take screensshlts of the action, the frew look camera movement is super sensible and unprecise, is there a way to move it slower?

Thanks In advance!!

MULTIPLAYER ISSUE

Hello community, I have question for you, for some reason I am not able to connect to the server that my friend created. Likewise, he is not able to connect to the server that I create. Instead of the ping icon, a crossed-out red circle is displayed. Can anyone advise me? We wanted to play coop without other players, but so far unsuccessful.

Help with training campaign

I'm trying to complete training mission #3. I fly through every checkpoint, do every maneuver, and when it tells me to land at the end, I do! However, when I landed, absolutely nothing happened. I was just there in the field, and the mission never ended. How do I complete it?

Rudder question

New here and pretty new to flying sims in general.

I have a VKB Gladiator joystick and no rudder pedals. Any suggestions on the best place to map the rudder on this joystick? I am attempting to map it to the twist motion of the joystick but I can't adjust the sensitivity, it's either 0% or 100% which doesn't make for smooth flying. I can't figure out how to make it gradual on this joystick, it's either user error or a limitation of trying to use the rudder on the joystick.

Thanks.

Mouse head movement in Joystick Mode?

I've been messing around with Rise of Flight recently and enjoy using the keyboard for flight controls. For this I enter Joystick mode. However I can't seem to move my head around with the mouse much. It will move a little but snap back to center position. Is it possible to turn off this return to center issue?

Newbie with some questions...

Really like the game. Got the Steam version and bought the bombers pack. But struggling to find many missions to fly with them - and the mission editor doesn't look like a fun way to spend an evening.

Where can I get missions that others have made?

Also, how can I play co-op missions where my son can be the gunner?

Training partner?

Not sure if anyone still checks this. But there are still some people on the servers so its worth a shot.

New player here, could really use a training/sparring partner. Available most evenings and weekends EST hours.

Mayday! Please help me get off the ground.

Got ROF when it first came out.  Could never get my hotas to synch correctly.  Waited a few years and loaded it up again - same thing.  Now I just downloaded the free version figuring it would be debugged by now....maybe it's me?

I'm running Windows 20 - plenty of ram and graphics,  Downloaded the latest Saitek X52 pro Flight controller drivers.  No problems.

In game on the settings screen my joystick does respond correctly when I am setting them up.  And yes - I DO hit Apply before I try to fly and yes they do list correctly in the input settings screen. 

Now when I jump into the cockpit SOME of the joystick settings work such as fire gun but none of the ones I set and many of the generic keyboard settings don't respond.  Also where the hell is the setting for 'Chase View"  It's supposed to be keyboard F4 but I can't find it to bind to my joystick.    Anyway - 11 years for me and still stuck in the hanger!  

I MUST be doing something wrong...or should I look into Great battles series....?

Much thanks.

Just begain for ROF and I love it!

Hey! Remembering old times, when I played Birds of Prey or Gunship 2000 and few others (I can't remember them now lol) I jumped into this game and wow! It's fantastic! I have X52pro I used with Elite Dangerous, now looking forward to get hattrack :) I am going through tututorials, but what would you suggest to do after? I love graphics, flight model, sounds and everything else. I wanted to play a flight sim, but with missions, objectives etc. and apparently this one is most noob friendly for folks like me.

Fly safe and o7
