Rise of Flight - To buy or not to buy?

[lbuchele]

It´s a great game, only make sure you have a good VGA and a quad core fast CPU.
ROF doesn´t run well on dual cores.

you liked the demo, you like furballs between fighters, your PC is good enough:
buy it....................

just dont expect the deepth of gameplay that are possible with IL2. Its 95% a fighterpilots game verus other fighters.
even the announced offline career mode will not change much in this.

S!

Buy it. Development team is adding new careers etc. so the game will cater offliners better too. I like it very much.

Adding to the chorus... Buy it. I bought it day one after waiting for years but in the first versions I did not like the flight model that was too "twitchy" and felt rough, but now after a number of patches it's really the only other sim that gives me a believable feeling of flying accept IL2 or course (and I have been flying IRL for 25 years). The new dogfight mode with airfields that can be captured is a lot of fun - but an accessory that you really need for full appreciation is TrackIR (a lot of wings covering you view )

Buy it. Is a stunning well made Sim. I fly in RoF's servers like Syndicate almost all night.

Indeed buy it, its an excellent ww1 combat simulator, and defiantly on par with the other hardcore simulators out there such as IL2 even if the depth doesn't go as far.

i've got a dual core oc'd to 3.2ghz, a 280gtx and 4gig ram, running xp sp3 32bit though, so only got 3gig usable.

it runs fine, i have some landscape settings lowered to improve performance mind.

and yes, i would recommend getting it. it is a bit of a pain to get all set up, which can put people off, but if you persevere with that then you're sorted. good fun all round.

Buy it...
I love IL-2 but it's another genre to fly those planes and the 2 games can live together for me
RoF is beautiful and the flight feeling is great in any plane !!

It runs well all maxed out for me and I have a Core2 E8400, an ATI 5770 and 4Gb of DDR3 on win7 64bits
(It starts to slow seriously down with more than 20 planes in the same furball)

Buy it. Is good fun.
Don't expect a high fidelity simulator like DCS Black Shark but is fun.
Damage model is weird, the guns are way too accurate at long ranges, most flight models are out of wack. Some planes even have wrong engines. The two seaters are completely missing. The settings menu is weird.
A lot of corners have been cut in ROF, but the game looks good, it came a long way from what it was and you can have a lot of fun.
