Rise of Flight - To buy or not to buy?

[Robert]

Go for it. Why?

It's fun.

The feeling of flight for a simulator is pretty realistic (FOR A SIMULATOR on a HOME PC)

WWI hasn't been covered in a while.

Jason and crew are fleshing out the game quite nicely.

777 Studios on occasion have sales on their aircraft of ~ half price.

Support the hobby.


I don't fly on line, so someone else will need to address that.

I don't find the DRM invasive - though I'd prefer not to have it at all.

There is a mode to play off line, but that's for quick missions and not campaigns. The latter's statistics are stored on line.

No other negatives have affected me.



If you decide to get it read the forums on installation if you're using Windows 7. I'm on XP and have no issues. Someone better informed can point you in the right direction.

I say go for it.
