JG1 was extremely honored to be chosen to help beta test the new World War One sim "Rise of Flight" by NeoQB. It was really great to be able to fly our old "wood and linen" crates again with some of the outstanding squadrons who we’ve known since Red Baron Online, specifically the WingWalkers, RAF 74, Arctic Angels and J99.

Our five beta-testers were:

It was announced on March 31, 2008, that Rise of Flight was starting closed beta testing. This testing is to be open to a total of five members of active squadrons with at least a year long history on the Web. Further details are on the Rise of Flight Blog. Finally, after years of speculation and (some) doubt, it appears the release of this game is near and that Jagdgeschwader 1 will fly again soon.

At last a possible successor to RB3D has been announced. From the website of Rise of Flight comes the following information:

Game Info

Genre: multiuser aircraft simulator with strong online elements.

The game world is the world of the military Europe of 1917—1918.

Game represents 2 parts of the conflict, namely Germany and the USA.

Pilots will lift their planes with various tasks: updating artillery fire, investigation, support and interception of bombers, duel battles between the most known aces.

On a huge map, about 125 000 km², the World War I is taking its place. One of the most important parts of this conflict was the war for domination in air.

This is the era of the first air heroes who were full of reckless courage trying to prove superiority over the opponent. The War — where pilots knew the opponents by name and showed respect to the enemy worthy of knight tournaments.

The frontline is a huge scar which last through Western Europe, constant air battles take place for 4 years during the War.

For more information see: Rise of Flight.
