Dear Pilots,
We are proud to announce the release of the 1.015 Update for Rise of Flight. This update includes several minor fixes and the inclusion of two new aircraft – the Sopwith Pup and the Sopwith Triplane. We have also prepared two new volumes of Skins to add to your growing collection. Version 1.015 is primarily a content update but also includes some behind the scenes structural changes that will play a role later on. We appreciate your patience as we continue to improve ROF and push it our engine towards the future. The team continues to work hard on all development fronts. We hope you will enjoy this update.
Volume 3 Skin Packs:
Fictional - 142 new skins
Historical - 108 new skins
Total skins after inclusion of Volume 3 is 1,380.
We appreciate ALL in the community who continue to make gorgeous skins and missions for ROF! Thank You!

A Special Gift to a Special GroupBack on July 2nd of this year we ran our first big aircraft sale and some of you could not take advantage of that sale because you had already purchased all the available aircraft to date. Some of you were disappointed you could not take advantage of that first sale. We were sensitive to your situation, but our options and remedies were limited. You purchased planes and supported ROF when many others were predicting its failure and the chips were down. We want to recognize that support by giving you the Sopwith Pup for free. We have identified all who belong to this small, select group and we have already activated the Sopwith Pup on your account prior to the release of the 1.015 Update. Enjoy your new plane and thanks for the support!
