Rise of Flight to be released June 8th in North America - Page 11

Lieste · 07-10-09, 04:18 PM

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.

The Russians are amazing when it comes to building realistic games.

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

Biggles · 07-20-09, 06:43 AM

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

Task Force · 07-20-09, 06:45 AM

yes, those planes are all ai-playable...

What Task-Force said, also when any new planes are released they will download to your account if you buy them or not. Then AI can use them, and also it allows you to play online with the people who have purchased them. All the purchase does is "flip a switch" on your account making that plane flyable to you.

FIREWALL · 07-20-09, 01:49 PM

My Prediction. Sadly THEY won't be around by the end of 2010.

Hopefully someone with more business sense will pickup the title.

I'll bet even money the sim isn't modable either.

Captain Birdseye · 07-22-09, 03:20 PM

Guys,

Does RoF have the trenches? Can someone screenshot these for me please?

Task Force · 07-22-09, 03:22 PM
