Rise Of Flight

Post by sellarb4 » Thu Jul 02, 2009 2:57 pm

I'm going to put my order in on Monday through the FS Pilot shop in the States.

If anyone is interested in splitting the postage costs I will get extra copy's.

The game works out to be around $70 + $30 for the express 3 day delivery + $5 postage if your outside CHCH.

I don't think this game will get released here until late in the year...

P.M me if your interested.

Ordered my copy late Monday & received it Thursday arvo. Was really impressed with the speed of delivery from the FS Pilot shop.

Haven't had much time to play but from what I've flown so far its a class act, great feeling of being in the air.

It also comes with a small but very cool manual, key card & map all in glossy colour..

Just to add that the developers have added the Albatros D5 and Nieuport 28 free with the more planes available @ $7.62 later in the year.

MP is currently rather broken with NAT problems cause a distinct lack of servers...

Me I'm still waiting for my snail mail copy and it's been a month. ARGH.

I've not had time to try multi... as the recent patch 1.04 apparently fixed hosting behind a NAT - it didn't work before. As I understand it, there's not a great deal of content once you're into multiplayer but I thnk it will come with time.

In the meantime it's hard enough just taking off and landing and trying not to get shot down. The 1.04 patch apparently made the AI tougher.

In the meantime I've been tweaking my settings to maintain a decent frame rate

Good to see you up & running Agent or is that stuttering?

Multiplayer is sorta broken. I got on last week no lag, nice & smooth but you need patience as the server is in a 10min rotation so if you get shot early you wait until it starts up again. Just not many playing in our time zone either just one server up. This will change I hope in the near future as the sim is so good.

With the latest update my game is running the same or just a bit smother but its all relative to what mission your on.

I have started a career in the Forker. So far so good with 5 kills in 4 missions the AI has been a bit weak or grossly out numbered.

You can now buy ROF online. http://riseofflight.eu/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Why don't you pop over to KiwiSim where we can chat more? More flight sim folks we might be able to suck in as well (once they fix the performance).

My main performance gripe is the Albatross spotter escort mission. Try it out - I'd be interested to hear how you get on.
