Yep, I don't think mine would handle it right now either. At the rate things are going, this will be the trigger for at least a serious upgrade, if not totally new rig, well before we see SoW.

I'm not too impressed with the cockpits right now but I do understand it's only in beta form right now.
Stecher, if this game does turn out to be fantastic, what's the possibility of us converting over to a WWI outfit to fly that sim?

We have to be careful not to dilute our commitments as far as simulations, I've seen it happen in other units and soon after, they lost their initial purpose.
I am very much interested in flying this simulation when not flying FS. Should we call the unit "Jasta 51" ;D ?

Certainly there are factors in this decision which we can't know yet, but my thinking right now is that we would not have an official parallel existence in RoF. That is not to say that at least most of us wouldn't get it and fly it together at times. But as far as having official stuff set up, website, stats, a serious regular unit commitment to online play, etc, my heart is really only in that stuff for WWII sims, which is why I started 3./JG51. Trying to do both in the same capacity would split time and effort and pretty much mean we couldn't do either one very well. IL-2/FS and eventually SoW (someday) will always be the clear primary purpose of this unit. But that doesn't mean we can't call ourselves Jasta 51 and shooting up some Sopwiths every now and then.  |

I'd sure like to get a jewel case with RoF in it. I wonder, though, how they are going to distribute it to the US and other places ? They mentioned through the internet but this game has got to be over 10 GB in size so I'm not sure how this method is going to work.
I guess we will find out soon.

Some more news, this time very exciting: Link. I wonder if they will have a similar response to release as they did in Russia shown in the video. EDIT: The link doesn't take you right to the blog but go to Google, put in "Rise of Flight", translate the page from Russian and go to the Blog, the post quoted is the one at the top. |

Sheepishly, I'm waiting for Molders to give us a 'ja' or 'nein' first. |

I haven't seen it on ebgames or anything as of yet but I also haven't gone hunting for it in stores yet. Nothing has been posted on the Rise of Flight site saying they have officially released it in North America.

I have pre-ordered it a few weeks ago from GOGAMER.com. I checked on my order status the other day and it stated that the NEW releash date is June 25th.

Mine came in Friday, from 'go-gamer'. Now all I have to do is find the time to open the box and look at it, haha.

Got Mine Friday also. Two Flyable aircraft, the DVII and the SPAD with more planes coming out July 7.
Graphics are great, flying is touchie and quik controlls just what you would figure the the planes would be in R/L.
The more I fly it the more I like it.
