Rise of Flight: Channel Battles Edition – Retail Version Now Available

Game and tech distributor CompuExpert, a division of Digital Interactive Systems Corp., announced today that 777 Studios’ latest edition of their realistic WWI PC flight simulation, Rise of Flight: Channel Battles Edition, is now available for purchase in physical disc format at various online retailers.

Rise of Flight: Channel Battles Edition is the most comprehensive edition of Rise of Flight ever offered. Among the new features is the hefty Channel Battles mission set, in which the player takes helm of the gigantic Felixstowe F.2a flying boat to sink warships, merchant ships, U-boats, and other nautical targets.

A highly-detailed Channel Battle Map is also included in-game, which accurately depicts the coastlines and villages of Northern France, the Southern English coast, and the Flanders area of Belgium as they were at the dawn of aviation. Furthermore, the boxed package includes two double-sided Rise of Flight posters which feature detailed artwork from 777 Studios.

The most realistic WWI flight simulator in existence, players will take to the war-torn skies of Europe and experience cutting-edge flight simulations in which no two dogfights are the same. The Channel Battles Edition improves and expands on all the features and content that made the original Rise of Flight an award winner, such as advanced flight-models, a complex physics engine, an industry-leading progressive damage model, and beautifully detailed 3D models and environments for an authentic WWI aviation experience.

And the packaged experience of Channel Battles Edition is just the tip of the iceberg. The Rise of Flight universe continues to expand with new aircrafts and game updates on a regular basis, and includes the option for Online Multiplayer servers featuring Dogfight and Co-Op scenarios. Rise of Flight fully supports user-created mods and custom skins, and thousands of historically accurate paintjobs are available for download on the Rise of Flight website. The sky is the limit, so take flight, and join the fight above the trenches!
