About This Game

Rise of Flight is the most realistic WWI PC flight simulation ever created. Take to the skies of war torn Europe and experience daring air combat at the dawn of aviation. Re-enact famous air battles fought by legendary aces such as Manfred von Richtofen, James McCudden, Georges Guynemer and Eddie Rickenbacker. Rise of Flight transports you to a time when courageous pilots fought each other for control of the sky high above the bloody trenches. In aircraft made of canvas and wood they battled to the death. While some survived to become legends, most met a fiery fate. Do you have the skills and the courage to become an Ace?

The free-to-play Rise of Flight United is just the beginning of your adventure. There are 35 additional flyable aircraft available for purchase along with additional content from the Steam store in the form of content packs.

Christ. The sim is great, but everything around it is not. You have to create an account on the RoF website, log in every time you play, activate all DLC bought on Steam on their website, etc. And sometimes their codes just don't work and you have to contact customer service to try to fix it. That was my mistake, though - I should've just straight refunded this game when that happened. Their customer service is no joke one of the worst I've ever experienced. They treat you like a scammer, ask the same questions over and over, don't actually know how their sim is integrated with Steam... Just absolutely dire stuff, imho. I still haven't been able to activate my DLC codes yet. I've been in talks with their CS team for 3 days now. They're now asking me to send them information I had sent them two days ago. I'm feeling really optimistic that maybe this time they'll actually come through and fix their database and make the DLC magically appear in my account, though, because I'm rube like ...
