New Wings Training

Welcome to New Wings Virtual Flight Training School!

"New Wings" was established in the year 2011, to create and run a training program for those new to Rise of Flight. Rise of Flight is the cutting-edge work of 777 Studios and offers the most realistic experience of First World War flying in the hostile skies over Europe ever available.

While "New Wings" is not officially associated with 777 Studios, it is our intention to help Rise of Flight be more accessible to new players. The need for a training program became apparant with the advent of the "free-to-play" download and the influx of new pilots trying-out the simulation.

Because Rise of Flight multi-player leans heavily upon realism, it can be a difficult process to transition from previous sims. The benefit of an environment where pilots can learn together cannot be understated, and New Wings stepped forward to fill this gap. While there were already training programs offered by the many squadrons, and even a private company; we realized that a freely available system was needed for the newcomers that didn't require either the commitment to a squadron or the funds required by private instruction.

With this spirit in mind, we approached the Rise of Flight community and were encouraged and delighted by their support. In addition to practical help with virtual flying, we shall try to make available the relevant historic aspects of the air war of 1914-18.

We do not charge for this program and have freely given the time, energy and resources needed to create this organization, develop a training program and acquire the necessary servers to make it possible. No one will ever be required to contribute in order to participate, although we do have a donation system for those who feel inclined to help support our efforts. All donations go directly to support the New Wings web site, Dedicated Servers and Teamspeak3.

Rise of Flight NOW FREE TO PLAY

Hello,

The steam version of Rise of Flight became a free-to-play game yesterday, in exactly the same way as regular RoF - everyone can install the game program, the free-to-play accounts with Albie D.Va, Spad XIII, Russian N.17 and Western front and Tarnopol maps are exactly the same. The payware part of old Channel Battles Edition is now a steam DLC called, you've guessed it, Channel Battles.

What does it mean to us old customers, besides new players hopefully joining us?

First, we can now use steam client instead of stand alone client, logging in with our RoF accounts. Not sure how frowned upon it is by Valve, but the program is there, and our accounts work with it - good news for those who like steam, use steam community overlay etc . As far as I see it, it's up to player which version of program he now uses. The programs are indistinguishable; the options launcher of steam client is hidden, if you suffer from FFB2 pulsing bug it seems more frequent in steam version, but it may be my imagiantion.

Moving your RoF activity to steam client will have advantage of your flying hours showing in game's statistics in steam store, so it will look more alive and convince more people to come in. I admit I am not doing it, because the drive I have steam library on has no room for all the skinpacks I use, but if you can try it it could help a little in keeping sim alive in long run.

Finally, it will be easier to publish guides and youtube movies on steam. I'm not sure if you can do it for free-to-play version without buying anything from steam (hope so!), but in worst case it can by done by buying cheapest DLC, not 8 planes and Channel map.
