The beta has released. Although I'd rather have the Mig-15, I'm excited to fly this one until the Mig-21 is released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJSBk1VLxhw

Okay, so I was jumping around the interwebz today and found a few drawings of I./JG3 during the Battle of Britain that did not have the yellow cowling. You may have to be registered to see this one: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/7-battle-britain/oblt-helmut-tiedmann-bf-109e-4-black-13-ii-jg3-battle-britain-gb-25734.html This perplexed me because I thought they had yellow noses the whole time: So my question is, what did they have? Yellow noses, standard camouflage, or a mix of both?

S! Title says it all. Hot fix is good. It has been checked and bugs ARE fixed.

S! All News on the next patch. news

I *think* the Hanriot HD.1 was just released. Or, it's about to be released. http://riseofflight.com/en/store/planes/Hanriot_HD1 I can't tell, as I'm at work. But after today's ROF maintenance, the store picture went from a silhouette to color. It's also got a weapon mod and a field mod. I guess we'll find out the future of Rise of Flight pretty soon.

100 years ago today, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, after rejecting Serbia's conditional acceptance of the July Ultimatum. This is often called the official start of the First World War, though Germany wouldn't declare war on Russia until 1 August. I thought I'd post these composite photos from London. 1914 and 2014: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2707568/First-World-War-photos-soldiers-marching-streets-superimposed-modern-day-images.html

S! All, Back in the heady days of Red Baron 3D, Jagdgeschwader 1 (JG1) developed and operated a tournament known as Flanders In Flames (FIF). Now, in collaboration with the No.42 Squadron, the Black Haze, the Wing Walkers and Jasta 5, JG1 has developed a new Flanders In Flames Online War design to fit the strengths and capabilities of Rise of Flight! FIF has always been about providing participants with the most realistic campaign experience possible. This continues today. Emphasis is placed on creating historically inspired dogfights and aircraft match-ups. Two-seater missions are thus vital. The current FIF tournament is hosted on the No.42 Squ…

Kameraden, Off to Montreal for a week, will catch up next week. S!

Been the better part of a decade since I've been around these parts, glad to see some familiar old names around. For any of y'all that I flew with back in the day, you may remember my entry into the AF coincided with my stopping online flying. I'm a crusty old captain now, flying the CV-22. So keep an eye out if you live in the west Texas, NM, and Colorado area! -Rath

Was talking about this book to a member tonight. I'm loving it. http://www.amazon.com/The-Few-American-Knights-Everything/dp/0306815729/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405040715&sr=8-1&keywords=the+few

I used to fly R/C slope and F3B gliders and thought they went pretty fast... but 498?!!! Google "speed record dynamic soaring". Most of the videos you can't see the plane very well but this one shows it pretty good and the sound is cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DegX_we1Mic I'll bet Lee knows about DSing. I did a little bit when this first became popular and it gets pretty scary! Imagine getting hit by one of these at speed! Like a 30mm from a Warthog probly.

Thought this was cool. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/27637906 According to another link: http://metalshockfinland.com/2014/05/30/sonisphere-2014-bruce-dickinson-reaches-for-the-sonisphere-sky-with-a-spectacular-ww1-tribute-air-display/
