Sweet, welcome back to rise of flight taff, it's been a while since you took to the sky in the old Albatros D.II, so that's another fantastic treat. It's great to see you giving the spotlight back on the old great war, if your interested in showing more great war content then all I can say is everyone is looking forward to it. Great performance over the hell that is no-man's land, horrific, unforgiving and lethal is the fighting over the western front but if the fog of war smiles on you, you've got to be grateful for that. Great job with taking on the enemy and coming home safe, the Kaiser will be pleased I'm sure. Great episode, loved it.. hope to see more rise of flight in the future, but till then, stay safe and happy gaming mate 👏👍
Glad to see you back in ROF. My first Staff video was ROF. I can never get enough WW I flight sims. Great flying, and work. I am looking forward to the next one.
Wings didn't get shot off planes so easily. The developer added this crazy feature because some people complained that it was too hard to shoot down the enemy. It shouldn't be easy. There are damage mods to fix this, otherwise it's rather ridiculous when every plane goes down with smashed wings from a short burst.
It's great to see you back in RoF. It's what got me into subscribing to your channel. You make it look so effortless when, in fact, l find it quite challenging. More please, much more...
Since there were 3 friendly balloons to protect, I wonder if you should have flown close to all three in order to complete the primary objective. Nice to see you back in the air.
It's so cool to see you back in the kites! And I love Albatrosses or Albatri or how ever you wanna call it. Especially the DV, might not be the best plane on paper, but all the soft factors combined make it easily my favourite plane in those simulators. It's so easy to fly, so stable, at least in the early years has the advantage on fire power, you can snap it around on a dime without stalling, . Most planes in the game try to murder the pilot all the time, not the Albatross. In those things I feel safe until I get pounced by Camels. But Nieports, Spads, Se5's, Pubs and Sop triplanes are so much less scary in one of those. But one on one there is not much to fear in Albatross, except the other pilot is really good or I am acting stupid. Probably the only plane in all WW1 and WW2 sims, where I say such cocky things. Usually those games are just death simulators^^ (Tipp: use all three gun sights, the middle one when the enemy is in front of you and goes straight, when they turn use the one on the outside of the turn, the right one for a left turn, the left for a right, and aim a bit in front, this offset means you lead with that gun and the other one will hit a bit short, so if you aim for the engine you might also hit the pilot, at least that was what I was told, but any way it works wonders)
At the start of the war the existing parachutes were heavy static line deployed chutes that couldn’t be worn by a pilot. They were used on observation balloons where the parachute could be hung on the side of the basket and the observer wearing the harness still work. Tight packed light weight parachutes deployed with a rip chord were still in development at the end of the war.
The funny thing about most of the really bad looking crashes, HISTORICALLY, they were only hitting the ground at 80mph max. Most were from 30 to 50. Still doesnt discount their bravery and insanity.
Hey Taff! I've been getting more interested in flight simulators lately, could you please tell me the setup you're using for rise of flight? I'm on a laptop, my joystick is nothing special, and I hate using mouse/keyboard controls. I only recently found out that I can also get rudder pedals to go with a joystick but I'm not sure what seems best for a combat sim...
Hi oldtimer, here's my sixpence: i use a very common thrustmaster joystick (quite good, tho) and, for the rudder, i use the pedals of my G29 driving wheel, with a Logitech GHub dedicated configuration. It works pretty well. Cheers mate!
Maybe the game wanted you to stay in the area for a certain time. Not sure how Rof does that, depends on the mode you play, I guess. But in WOFF and Falcon 4 etc patrols often have a minimum time in the area before you get the completion thing.
@@PackHunterGD Fok-ker is what is said but to be honest, it sounds a bit like foe-ker the way google translate pronounces it. The first 'k' should be harder and there should not be a rolling 'r' the way google does it. English speakers should just pronounce it as "Focker".
Now this takes me back Taff, wonderful to see you back in the skies in the old war birds 👍🫡🏴 excellent stuff!
Yes ! More Rise of Flight please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Whoop whoop more Rise of Flight, Let’s gooooooooo
OMG, Taff, you've mastered aerial gunnery! I didnt wince once when you took your shots! Well done, that man!
I love the Rise of Flight videos, so much so I went back and watched some of your old careers. I could watch these videos all day.
hooray new Rise of Flight! I was watching your old series on this, loved the careers you were doing! glad to see you havent stopped playing it! :D
Rise of Flight was my favorite game and still is high on my list as it allows multiple people to use the same plane unlike IL2 Flying Circus.
Nice work there, Taff! What an evolution the Albatros line was from the Eindecker series!
Oh yes! Back in the cerulean skies with Taff. Nowhere else better.

Nice to see the WW1 planes again!
Ah, the Albatros series. Not the best plane, but the best looking. Keep flying on, Taff.
Good stuff as always, Taff. Keep up the wholesome content!
"A good first mission..." Yipereee this is going to be a series then!!! Great!!!! Many thanks Taff!!!
The brass clearly expected you to just win the whole war today..

Rise Of Flight! I don't play this beautiful sim enough...good thing you took care of it!!! Nice vid Taff!
I have to say the Albatross was a handsome aircraft. Good stuff, Taff.

The beatifull Albatros full of curvaliscious lines!! Could those airmen (airforces) not make a plan for parachutes??😭

Love rise of flight vids!! Please keep it up!!!! (Also just any aviation stuff)
thank you Taff, that was a good sortie
Nice, thanks Taff
Great video. Greg's Aircraft did a good video on the Spad 13. j
A new career would be great :) Great videos 👏
Hey Taff i love the vids❤
Idk if you'd like it but could you try out Lines of Battle
Bummer, that first kill, a bullet or two musta found the pilot too... he never ejected!
No parachutes in the allied planes then. 😢
@@wrecklass There's a whole book about it!
Love it! More please…..
That was fun. 😀
Rise of Flight!
Rise of Flight!
Rise of Flight!
...
More WW1 please!

0:23 Not enough "Hunt for the Red October" yet, if the words "we have the advantage" won't come out with a suspiciously Scottish accent. :)

TBH, if you are starting out, get a joystick with twist control for yaw control. Then get rudder pedals once you know how much you like playing.
@wrecklass This is good advice and keep in mind that WWI planes needed a lot of rudder input to fly their best!
So ace in a day?

Either that, or the game wanted Taff to fly over all 3 friendly balloons, not just 1 out of 3.
Is this PWCG or RoF career mode?
Does this game run on a DCS setup. Or is it keyboard and mouse? If it is compatible with a Hotas I will give it a run.
Should run fine with HOTAS. Be mindful that some early war planes have no throttle at all! 😅
Not a good day for the Entente forces.
Okay this drives me fcking nuts every time I hear it... It's pronounced foe-ker, it's Dutch.
You and Google disagree
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@wrecklass go to Google type translate set to Dutch type Fokker and press the speaker button
