Not a painting, it's an actual screenshot. Anyone here familiar with the artist Mark Miller's work? He uses computer models to create his stuff, and ROF's look reminded me and still looks a lot like his art.

I know, right?

Just look at the attention to detail and realistic rendering. Apparently, it's not going to be too demanding, either. My computer could run it on very high settings.

And that is probably the best news I've seen all day. I just got a new box a month ago, but it's decidedly mid-upper range by today's standards and I was worrying ROF would be another LOMAC/FSX upon its release. Thanks for posting that SH, I can't wait for this one.

PD

Didn't they say there that you'd need a 8600 card at least?

A min requirement of the last generation of budget gaming cards is not too much to ask for.

There's alot of people struggleing to play SH4 here with alot lower requirements.

In this economy I don't see selling a high priced sim and also makeing the purchaser upgrade their rig too.

Going by the posts I read hear at SubSim alot of rigs are...

3.0 single core , AGP vid card and 2 gb of ram. or there abouts.

They may have the money to buy the sim but, not the computer upgrade too.

Just something to think about.

Yeah. What's so bad about that? The requirements for all video games are going up. You're going to have to upgrade eventually.

SH is right. New games are utilizing the new found power of multiple cores and using up to 8 gig of RAM with 64 bit. I was fortunate that I could strike while the pan was hot and get a nice rig with bells and whistles attached. As far as the cost of this game, if it is done right as it looks like it is I will pay the price. A decent WW1 flight sim is a long time coming. I enjoyed the WW2 sims (Janes WW2, B-17, CFS1/2, IL2 and dabbled in Lock-on). Time to dabble in the open cockpit with my scarf

Hello,

another one, online flight with 2 D.Vs (a?) or so i think:

Unbelievable - i feared all the time that "ROF" would go down like its predecessor "Knights of the Sky", but it seems it will make it - if not this year any more.

But there's also a new project called OOF ("Over Oleg's Front"), based on IL2, no joke lol

All to be found here:

So?

You can get an 8600GT for 50 USD

If you are spending this much for a Sim. You can afford even that much of an upgrade.

Default What ?

Hello,
there is one thing that irritates me - seems you have to be online (log on to their server) even if you want to play ROF in single play ??!! Come on, that can't be true ?
Connect to their server for single play ????
