Rise of Flight worth the trial?

[Absentminded 0]

Hi

 

Does anyone own Rise of Flight? I heard that there are 2 versions. The Iron Cross version is the latest and does it come with the original version?

 

Also, is the hardware requirement very tough? I have a Q6600 and an old 4870 1GB video card. Can this box run the game smoothly at max settings preferably with 60 fps.

 

thanks

Get the demo, it's free and fully-featured, with 2 planes. See how it runs on your PC.

The versions differ in the number of flyables you get out of the box. The rest is identical - they get updated together.

ROF is a current game, that's old hardware you have. You will not be able to run it totally maxed @ 60Hz unless your monitor is at 1024x768 or something.

 

However, it should run fine if you lower some of the options.

The demo is now unlimited for time, so you can try it. I seriously doubt you'll come anywhere near 60FPS, unless you have a super modern, all the bells and whistles, no money spared gaming rig. The"versions"are just updates. since 777 studioes bought the game, it has had 20 updates and counting. I will you, if you are interested in WW1 flight sims, then this one is the very best around, hands down.

Best thing to do is download the time-unlimited demo. I have a Q8200 and a 512Mb (GDDR3) 8800GT and it runs smoothly and looks very good indeed on medium-to-low settings. It has only the Alb DV and SPAD XIII as flyable but i believe everything else is included as AI-flown. It's a pretty massive d/l and you then have to register and log in every time you start the game which is a bit of a pain.

 

At the moment I still much prefer First Eagles 2 and Over Flanders Fields, which both look more than good enough and have an extremely wide set of flyable planes (OFF out of the box, FE2 comes with less but has even more than OFF available as free downloads, many of first-class quality), Even if you buy every plane currently available, RoF can't yet match either, and still has some significant gaps in the planeset eg no BE2 or RE8 (yet). Apart from the really beautifully-modelled and animated planes, RoF's current strength compared to FE2 and OFF is probably multiplayer plus it does 'complex engine management', neither of which interest me.

Hello!

 

I have a question. I have no internet connectino at home. So if I buy Rise of Flight: Iron Cross Edition DVD...in a shop (not online) can I use it anyway?

 

Thanks

No, sorry. Although parts of it can be used offline once it's setup, it has to be online for the initial setup. If you don't have any way of connecting at home, it won't complete.

You will need to have an internet connection the first time you start it up, for updates and to register. You can play in off line mode, BUT the functions are limited, and one that is missing is the career mode. You'll still have a campain, single missions and such. Sorry. Hope this helps.
