Independence Day...a decisive victory for the mosquito's. Me and some of the neighbors went across the street to watch the fireworks display from on top of the dike. Now I'm sporting well over a hundred bites in 40 minutes. I think some of the children are still missing. Major SNAFU's on spraying. Air National Guard out of Youngstown, OH was a no show. Ground spraying went out a couple of days to early. Now the mosquito's are sitting in City Hall. All hail our new overseer's.

Well, our @!#$%^&*! air conditioner in the house is officially terminal.  Had them service it 2 weeks ago, and they discovered 2 coolant leaks that will cost around $2500 to repair, as they need to replace the main cooling part inside.  The tech recommended that we get an estimate to replace the entire system instead of dumping serious money into repairs, as the whole system is now 10 years old, and very likely underpowered for our house.  The service tech replaced the coolant that was lost, for as long as it lasted.  It effectively ran out last night.  The "estimator" (salesman) is coming tomorrow afternoon.  I have a feeling I know where some of my first paychecks from the new job will be going.

Tried my first couple of quick missions in Rise of Flight. Two observations: it's f***ing LOUD, and it's f***ing impossible to hit anything. Where's my f***ing Sidewinder missile?

Anyway, a "fun" moment was when the engine on my Albatros D.Va just... stopped. Right in the middle of a dogfight with two Frenchist kites, after no appreciable damage, the propeller quit spinning.

Lucky for me, I glided down and executed a perfect landing in a field. I'd already shot down one of the bad guys (nobody was more surprised than me!) and the other declined the invitation to strafe me on the ground.

I will be playing it more, if for no other reasons than boredom and bloody-mindedness...

Do keep the reports up. I'm quite interested in this one if it works....a steep learning curve isn't a problem as long as it is realistic.

Hi all,

Kristian, have you finished the "LA Noire" game (i.e. scenario = 20 or so tasks)?

Just try it - its i 100% free!

You get 100% functional sim, campaign and on-line with 2 planes (1 for each side).

For starts it is enough - after that you might consider buying some new planes (and spend some $$ if you wish)...


IMHO this is FANTASTIC concept!

I ran out of interest. Simply couldn't be bothered to finish; such a disappointment.

Hi all, pretty new here and never had time to visit this thread.

I saw you're enjoing Rise of Flight. If you like flight sim i'd suggest to give a try to IL2 Sturmovick 1946 with the latest omnicomprehensive mods around. It's probably the best WWII flight sim ever.
The online experience is awesome and there's a huge community playin it...many online servers have more than 100 players flyin at the same time (especially in U.S. evening time) and the learning curve is really really steep.

There's also the last one of the serie...Cliffs of Dover...always produced by Oleg Maddox... it probably still needs some patching processes but it's very very very good.

Suggest to take a look at some of the in-game movie on youtube to have an impression of it

The reason I would choose Rise of Flight over any of the Il-2 line is that RoF is the only modern WWI sim around. I've played a bazillion WWII sims and am heartily sick of them.

Lazy.

Haven't done much the last days. Sunning, bathing, reading books on the beach etc. Barely have had energy enough to log on to THE THREAD!!!

Heading out again. Going to lay down on the grass and let the grass tickle my back, while looking at funny-looking clouds.

My favourite flight sims have all been by Rowan Software... Overlord (my first ever flight sim), Flying Corps and MiG Alley. Happy memories
