Dear community!

On the eve of the new 2013, we are pleased to inform you that we have completed one of the most important updates in the history of the project. This update significantly expands war theater, adds a new marine environment, and, of course, adds the most memorable aircraft of the RoF's world.

The new map, the English Channel, which is available to you in the Quick Mission have size up to 208x157 kilometers. Channel map scene is contains 19 large cities with reproduction of historical plan, 300 small and medium-sized cities with historically correct location on the map, 500 villages. Density of settlements of the new Channel map is several times higher than the density of earlier maps. In addition, this map is reproducing the famous shore-cliffs of Hastings, Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, Boulogne. We have created new combat and civilian ships and submarines for this map. This is first time in the history of game flight simulation when 3D sea surface was developed and implemented into practice, it provides excellent visual effect and, most unique, fully affect physics behavior of ships and aircrafts. We also need to tell you that the Career of the Channel map is in development and will be available to you in the first quarter of 2013.

The new aircraft, Felixstowe F2A, perhaps is the most outstanding aircraft in the world of "Rise of Flight", it is unique in every way. This is a huge flying boat, with very powerful Eagle VIII engines with 360hp in each, carrying up to 5 fire-points, it have great endurance and range, capable to perform a very large scale of tasks; and off course incredibly beautiful aircraft with a powerful charisma. Take it under your control, feel yourself like a real naval aviator on the service of His Royal Majesty.

In addition, version 1.029 includes a number of other additions, many of which have been long expected by the community, such as controlled adjustable stabilizer, improvements in logic of AI aircraft, improvements in the graphics of the atmosphere and of the terrain.

This update - is the result of common effort of the united team, and we all hope that this version will bring you a lot of pleasure in Christmas and New Year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

9. Light haze was added to all weathers

Important notes:

1. Due to graphics innovations the necessity of graphics settings reset have appeared. Regarding to this, we ask you to take in count that after update to 1.029 you will need to re-enter your login, password and reassign graphics and sound settings
2. Due to changes in mission format, which is caused by implementation of 3D water and other reasons, your old Flight Records will not replay. You need to delete .msnbin files from \data\Tracks - this should restore ability to replay these records. You should do the same with your custom missions which you have created in Mission Editor (delete .msnbin files, open and re-save your missions in Editor)
3. The take off from hydrodromes on Channel map is available only while wind is less than 2m/s, winds more than this will cause waves which will not allow you to takeoff and land safely
4. The take off from water is available only if all planes on your side are hydroplanes and if there only one friendly flight is presented
5. The Career of Channel map is in development and it will be ready in 1st quarter of 2013
6. It's important to understand, that Channel map was created with using of new modern technologies and presenting of the 3D water is lowering performance for low-end and for mid-end PCs in compare with old maps
7. If you still want to use old options like "High Contrast" or "Sharpen Image", than edit your startup.cfg, post_contrast = 1, post_sharpen = 1. "Dither Vegetation" now is automaticaly enables when SuperSampling is on
8. Adjustible stabilizer is controlled by RCtrl+ArrowUp / RCtrl+ArrowDown in default controls mapping. If you're using your existing controls map - you may assign it by yourself in Controls section of the options
