Default Rise of Flight coming to Steam

Rise of Flight: Channel Battles Edition

I've just had the following email from 777 Studios -

Quote:
Dear Pilots,

Since its original release 4 years ago, Rise of Flight has won hearts of thousands of WWI aviation fans and has been showered with some great awards and recognition. Thanks to your constant support we keep on working on the game's content and its essential features bringing you the best WWI flight-sim experience ever. Today we're pleased to announce that Rise of Flight will soon be available on Steam. This means more players from all around the world can take part in the most realistically re-created air battle experience of the First World War on their PC.

Rise of Flight: Channel Battles Edition is the most comprehensive edition of ROF yet released. ROF:CBE includes the Channel Map, ten flyable aircraft, a special mission-set for the Channel Map specifically designed for the Steam version. ROF:CBE also includes all the core features of Rise of Flight which includes a Quick Mission Builder, Single Missions, Three Campaigns, Pilot Career and Multiplayer modes of gameplay. Whether a new virtual pilot or a veteran, there is something for everyone!

In addition to the main game, we will also release several DLC content packages that include additional flyable planes, field modifications, weapon modifications and personal pilot items like scarves, streamers and pistols. These DLC packages are to be released simultaneously alongside the Channel Battles Edition. This will give new Steam users the ability to rapidly set their Rise of Flight content up-to-date. Thus, we give Steam players the freedom to purchase any additional content without delay from the release date.

It should be noted that the release of ROF:CBE on Steam will have no impact on the operation of ROF for existing non-Steam users. Also, Steam users will be able to fly with you in ROF multiplayer servers. We know that the existing ROF community will make new Steam users feel welcome!

I wish I had a rig that could play RoF...

...but I'm pretty happy with DBW 1916 for IL-2.

What specs have you? It doesn't need much compared to some other flight sims, and the required specs seem to be getting lower every patch.

It's also free* to download (I know, I know, it'll take you a while) with two aircraft to try. When I first got it I was seriously underspecced and it worked ok and there are lots of threads on the RoF fora about specs under and over. You can also drop the resolution down to 800x600 to improve framerate until you get a new(er) PC.

*Not the Channel Battles Edition from Steam.

I've got the 64mb GPU with 4GB RAM and Dual Core 2.30GHz Processor.

I looked at the specs for RoF and I'm underspecced....

It's only the GPU that's letting you down.

64MB, damn, my first PC had that over a decade ago, soon swapped it!

Get on ebay for a cheap 256 MB AGP card. (I'm assuming it's not PCI)

64 is soddered to my motherboard...

I'm stuck with this dumb 64.

What I don't get is how I can run the first ArmA and IL-2 since I'm underspecced there...also with SH4.

If we're talking about an actual PC here, you know, not a pretending-to-be laptop (), there should be a slot for a card regardless of what they glued to the board.

I hate that damn 64 too! It's stopping you from playing the bowel-emptying terror that is Slender: The Arrival!

Downloading RoF F2P now

Red - take the side off your PC, take an in-focus picture and post it here.

Failing that get the manufacturer's name and model number off it (including revision number if available).

Once more, Subsim to the rescue!

Samsung RV510

No HDMI port, I have 3 USB, one ethernet, one VGA, a Mic port and a audio jack. There are two removable plates on the back. One is titled Memory and the other HDD.

What do you want me to do?

@Cybermat47, I don't need Horror. It won't work anyway. I'd rather play DCS and SH5!

Ah, laptop. Unlucky, sell your laptop and build a proper PC. You'll lose the portability but gain some decent gaming. I know which I'd rather have.

The crazy SPAD S.XIII pilot? No that was me. Couldn't you tell from the yelling and screaming and bleeding?
