RFoV V8.5 · Flight Desk

One place to choose and prepare the next flight.

Discovery now decides what is worth flying; Dispatch becomes the briefing stage after you make a choice. Aircraft intelligence, time, weather, Flight DNA, Atlas history, Fog of War and expeditions all feed one coherent workflow.

RFoV treats your latest recorded arrival as the natural starting point for the next discovery flight. You can still type a different origin at any time.
