If we can get Hitch to make a ww1 game we won't have to worry about the DRM for RoF.  :aok wink wink nod nod

Ahh, X-Wing. That one brings back memories. Is there anything similar around these days?

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Speaking of reviving old franchises, Mech Warrior is back!

I'll make a new thread on it.
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

I guess the closest thing would be the Freespace 2 mod, Fate of The Galaxy. If it follows Valve time though, it should appear next year.

And we'll still have 5 years to wait for Half-Life 2: Episode III.

The Wing Command series was my all time favorite.  That would be sweet if it was revived.

that and Strike Commander were the reasons for my 386/486 upgrades in the early/mid 90's.

Expat, JDBecks be warned.  There are plenty of deficincies and rough edges to this game.  I have at least 1 CTD every time I play.  I think it will take a few patches to tighten things up.

However, the fundemental core is quite impresive.  I think its destined for greatness.

(Now if I could just hit the broad side of a barn!  :rolleyes:)

well my copy arrived yesterday and played around with it a little bit today, im no expert but heres my first feeling about the game

-The graphics are very good, and the ground/clouds/water etc look fantastic ( I play on the highest settings)
- Flight model feels pretty good, some people compare it to IL2, which to me it feels completly different ( I just hope the planes feel different )
- its fairly easy to navigate around the menu system ( been updated...i never see the initial version)
- so far Im not very impressed with the AI, they seem to fly in level flight way to much, and seem easy to shoot down
- still some bugs, like being able to see the enemy plane silthoutes through my wings and cockpit etc
- its pretty fun..my guns always seem to jam on the perfect firing soloution, or the wind blowing you around can make aiming quite intresting

to register the game was failry quick and painless with no problems, at first I hated the idea about the DRM and always having a stable connection to play the single player version..its not effected me yet..but as soon as the dev server is down or my IP I will be pissed. The drm is still my biggest gripe about the game.

Im still waiting for a flight sim game to have a campaign as good as red baron 2  :aok,

Im glad I brought ROF, as its a good game to play when the HTC servers are quiet or when theres not many of squadmates online.

How is the campaign anyway? Is it well scripted and structured? Or randomly generated like IL-2?
