Rise of Flight

That would be the holy grail alright. A 24 hour setup like aceshigh but only one life per callsign would be my idea of perfect. you could play as many callsigns as you want of course, but when youre dead you have to start a new one. That would be as close to the real thing as it gets.

I believe The Syndicate - SYN server is experimenting with something along these lines

Quote from: SYN_MrWolf
"At Syndicate we are doing a trial for a new concept of ours. It's really simple. We have made a second profile of our names and playing by the DID principle during vintage missions. This measn if somebody dies. He hast to delete his profile and start over again. We use a new profile because the stats are zeroed out. The multiplayer stats are being tracke for every participating pilot.Scores are given for many achievements. For example..a kill is worth 10 points. A downed recon is worth 20 points. An assist is worth 5 points. etc etc. At the end of a vintage mission we have a leaderboard for all our pilots and a nice overal score for our squadron."

That looks absolutely beautiful... I hope I can get it myself

This looks so sweet!
Soon I will have a rig that can run the thing. If I try to run it on my current computer I risk a total meltdown of the electronics.

RoF and AH on full graphics... I can hardly wait

I dont think that game is so demanding.

I run a GT240 video card which is not exactly the best thing out there on a 4 gig ram system and a 3ghz quad core (though the game uses only one core so its irrelevant).

...and it runs just fine on max graphic settings.

Have you tried running it on your current rig?

Recent patches have improved the performance dramatically from six months ago. The official Recommended (not minimum) requirements are:

• Recommended System Requirements
• Operating System  Windows® XP (SP2)/ Vista (SP1) / Windows® 7 (SP1)
• CPU  Intel® Core™ 2 Quad 2.6 GHz+ or Intel® Core™ i5/i7 2.6 GHz+
• GPU  1024 Mb+, GeForce GTX 260+/Radeon HD5850+
• RAM  4 Gb+
• Sound  DirectX 9.0c/11 compatible
• Free Hard Drive space  10 Gb+
• Internet Connection  for Registration, Career Mode, Statistics Tracking, 256 Kb/s - for Multiplayer

But I know of at least one guy running it on just a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 Laptop (admittedly on low graphics settings).

I will have that one...   ...in 2013

The GTX 260 will only be 5 years old by then, are you sure you can't hold out a bit longer before you upgrade Lusche?

I can't even run AH currently...

But I'll be there soon. I am moving between counties so this will have to wait.

The only problem I'll have is the internet connection in my area (that's why I cancelled my subscription to Aces High  ).

Woot!

My pilot has survived for two weeks now.  Flying 1 or 2 sorties a day.  I've only reflown one mission due to death.  But I'm not counting it because it happened when I was low and slow fighting a DH2 and my TrackIR freaked out causing me to crash. 

I'm optimistic enough that I went ahead and bought the  Albatros D2 so I would have it when Jasta 2 starts getting them in a couple weeks.

I just hope Hauptmann Steffen let's me fly one once in awhile instead of this infernal E3.

May I  again?

I just looked up the prices of both recommended cards... that's absolutely insane. No way I will ever be able to afford a %&$&% 140€ graphics card. So my 2013 estimate for a GTX 260 ain't that far off, but I guess the recommendations for ROF will have changed again by then, so that I would still need to pay such an amount. 

Is ROF a clever scheme by the hardware industry? 

Guess it's soon back to these "sims" for me

[Tac]

I tried the demo thing but the I just find the blocked forward and top view too disorienting and the view system useless. my hat switch slews the view rather than snap it (despite any control keymapping i try to do) so its really silly to dogfight in.

Too bad they didn't put the Airco DH2 as the free plane.. clear views would make it so much enjoyable.

[Vudu15]

you need to set your camera to snap from the game launcher, look for a tab called camera then change view to snap intead of pan.

I had the same problem when I first started.
