Rise of Flight to be released June 8th in North America

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.

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.
