The screens look great. I can't wait to try this but I am away from my gaming computer for 2 weeks :( I know the box from GoGamer arrived already and is sitting waiting for me... so any reviews/screens are more then welcome :up:

Unless you have a software program for your joystick and can do it with that, you're out of luck. No adjustments in game at all. All control settings changes must be done outside of the game, which is a right pain in the butt, but still no deadzone/sensitivity adjustments.
The AA/AF is abysmal. Max settings are 4x on AA and 8x on AF and they just don't do the job at all. I'm running on max and still have jaggies up the butt. I tried using Nvidia control panel to override the application settings and run it at 16x on each and it had no effect
That DVII flies more like Camel or DrI. Very skittish. If you think that's the way a DVII is supposed to fly Stealthhunter you know next to nothing about WWI aircraft. It was touted as one of the most stable and easy to fly of the entire war, even more so than the SE5. Here's a comment from someone who has actually flown some WWI aircraft....

"Trek, I am having the same issue with my Logitech Force 3D PRO. I tried all the dead zone and sensitivity settings and even with the sensitivity set at 1% it was little help in the FM, specially the D.VII.

I was told the plane is tail heavy so thats the way it flies, so was the Fokker D.VIII I flew in RL but it did not fly as twitchy. All the planes were tailheavy, but they did not fly like these in RoF.

As one post states different JS preform differently and that maybe the case here. But I think RoF should have a way of compensating for this difference in a manual override menu.

Right now until I can figure this out using my JS or someone has a solution, I play very little. It gets frustrating.

There are many things to like about this game, however, IMHO, it wasn't ready for release. My copy is going on the shelf until they get the bugs worked out and release some more content. If it was as great and trouble free as SH is trying to make everyone believe, there wouldn't be 61 threads and over 630 posts in the Technical Support forum at SimHQ. A lot of people are extremely disappointed in the game as it is now. Until they fix it, I'm going back to OFF.

Well, flight sims are very complex and remember the Silent Hunter games. At the beginning nothing worked and even Il2 was full of bugs. Give them time to fix it.
Since I didn't get any answer to my question some posts above I ask again:
How does the physics feel like? Is it believable or just just slightly above arcade?

I believe that it is slightly above arcadish... from what ive read.

Hello??
Nobody here who has actually played it??:ping:

After I finally got it to work, yeah. It was a PITA at first and didn't look the greatest, i mean, it looked good but like it had no AA or AF and everything in the game was maxed at 4xAA and 8xAF. Someone came up with a workaround and now it looks great. The FMs took some getting used to. Now that I've flown it for a while it's a lot easier.
At first I was skeptical, but I'm starting to come around. The thing is beautiful, I just wish there were more planes.

I haven't had a lot of time to fly yet due to my job, but from what I have done I like the sim a lot. I can't really comment of the flight model since my knowledge of WWI planes is limited and I have no idea how they should handle. I will, however, say that the planes are plenty hard to fly and I would rate them well above arcadish. The game runs surprisingly well on my semi-aged rig, I'm able to put everything on high except for one option (landscape I think) which is on medium.

Specs:
C2D E6600
Geforce 8800GT
2 gigs DDR2 800
running at 1280x1024

I see this is available now at Amazon. Has anyone played this on Vista with service pack 2?

I haven't yet Warhawk, I am still a week away from going home to my gaming computer, and my copy of this game that is waiting for me. I have however briefly spoken to my brother who has run it on his Vista system with no troubles at all. He would definitely have all of the Windows SPs installed. Sorry I can't offer more info.

10-4. Thanks for the update. Im betting he has up to SP2 for Vista also. After my vacation I plan on getting the game. :up:

After some confusion about included aircraft and the delays with the new shop, the first two addon aircraft have been released free of charge.

Currently the available types should be Fokker DVII, Albatros DV, Nieuport N.28, Spad XIII

The next aircraft to be available will be the N.17 (at eur 5.45, or $7.95), and the SE5.

No idea how well it runs - my machine is archaic, and although warming to them after the initial release fiasco I'm not convinced by the requirement for continual connection. Still most who have purchased it, and stuck with it so far have been enjoying it, so thought I'd promote the new aircraft.

With a new machine I would probably purchase it after due consideration and testing the "soon-to-be-released" demo.

Not quite:

...Finally, the game requires online authentication the entire time it's being played, even if you're just playing a solo career or a one-off single player mission. Given that the game comes with a CD-key, it seems odd that you'd have to be logged on in order to play, but that's the case. We might not mind this so much if the registration servers were more reliable and if connection issues didn't cause us to fail missions in single player...

'Tis a good game. Haven't had much problem with the internet thingy yet. Loading times are long though. Physics is fantastic. You haven't lived until you've seen a mid-air collision in this game. Light effects are beautiful, and the graphics are pretty much fantastic in most aspects.

I'll wait till there is a crack to remove the inet portion. THen I'll buy the game. I don't always like having my PC connected to do whatever.

I usually don't either, and I was furious that Empire:Total War was a steam-only game. Games which main focus lies in multiplayer (TF2, L4D) I don't mind having in such a system, but when I intend to play mostly or only singleplayer, I rather be without the need of a functioning internet connection. But I am flexible, and I guessed that it would be worth the effort. This far, I'd say that it is indeed worth the effort.

Have to agree 100%

Just ordered from Amazon yesterday. I hope this game runs decent on my computer.

Can't wait to play...I have been wanting a good WWI flight sim.

I hope you will enjoy it. Just keep in mind that there are still issues to be worked out and until the Mission Building community can really get going on the mission builder (which is quite complex and has no written instructions in English yet) the single player content is quite thin. When you do get up in the air the experience is second to none IMO, so you have bought a fantastic flight sim engine, but it still needs some work and tweaking.

I love the product, just posting this so that when it arrives, any incompleteness is not a slap in the face. Many of the "upset" customers seemed to think it was going to be RB3D with better graphics, campaign and all. I guess they just looked at YouTube video and never actually read about what was planned for the game.

I don't think we will be seeing that soon. It does not only authenticate on startup, it does after and before every mission you fly etc etc. It should say on the box you need a "stable" internet connection. I have heard of people who have lost connection on a long mission and it does not record the result after. Not a great solution but if it prevents piracy I am all for it.

As of now, store is open. Neuport 17c1 is for sale

Will you be able to encounter it even if you don't buy it?
