Rise of Flight

Post by Pegasusbelgar »

I have been following this new game since it was called Knights of the Sky and last month it was released to the russian audience. Alot of us have been patiently waiting for its release which should be around the June 8th or alittle soon after.
Have any of you been waiting for this little gem of a WW1 Flight sim? the game apparantly is released with only two planes and to have the others to join your collection you have to buy them, this is like spending microsoft points on xbox live. I dont think that will deter me from not buying it.

List of what we hope to see in game so far. Though they mentioned new planes and objects will be added at future date.

Bristol F2B Fighter
D.H.4
D.H.9
F.E.2b

They announced it on combatsim.com on 5-29. Looks sweet, my old ass might be able to keep the SA up enuff to actually maybe survive a minute or two longer than I do in WW2OL in a fighter.

Impressions so far.
1. You have to log on to the game server to play offline. That's some stiff DRM

2. This is a sim for sure, lots of stuff to program. You have to set mixture and radiator, there are auto settings for this but depending on scenario , your gonna want to know how to do it.

3. Takes a while to load, I have noticed a few bugs here and there, but not too bad.

It's visuals are Freaking awesome.

Lot's of learning left to do on my end.
