Okay, forget what I said before... Now that the release is so close, the waiting is killing me!!! :crazy:

 

it's funny how that happens...the last week is by FAR the hardest part of waiting. I can wait a year or two...but a WEEK!?!?!?!

:worthy:

Does anyone know where it will be available in Europe / UK?

 

I can't find any info on a distributor?

AFAIK there is still no distributor in Europe/UK. Okaysoft.de in Germany will import it, if requested.

That's why I usually resort to digital download, I don't have to wait MONTHS after release to play it. Burn a disk, colour a nice box a la grade 2 BAM! ;)

 

Anybody know any good reviews on this game?? I've seen like 2 and they were from the beta version not the final version.

Thanks for the info.

 

Digital download is fine with me.. as long as it's available and the international site accepts my card.

Good news.

 

Would be interesting to know at what price, though. Has the request to be made via email? =)

49,90 Euro. Just visit http://www.okaysoft.de/ and go to "Importe". Additional you have to authenticate your age via sending a photo from your ID card, because the import version is not rated in Germany.

...looks very beautiful in an IL-2'ish kind of way..

 

...and then some! IL-2 is a good-looking game, but it's (finally) starting to look a bit dated compared with some recent entries. Lucky for us, Storm of War: Battle of Britain looks to be getting close to release. And it looks pretty phenomenal. Rise of Flight also looks pretty phenomenal. My point? RoF and SoW should hopefully make great companions for one another, and at that point, IL-2 may just leave my hard drive for the first time since 2001, when it originally came out. :pilotfly:

Indeed, looking forward to SoW but I have stopped hoping or looking for updates, I'll just get it when/if it gets released..

Two weeks!! :D

Got my copy installed. That part went nice and smooth, but the registration on their site is down currently. Since you have to do the online authentication to play the game, I can't play the game yet. Fantastic! Anticipation is the best part, right? :thumbup:

 

What I've seen has been pretty good though. The settings panel, I mean. Lots of options in there. I have everything set to high except the Landscape setting. The panel gives you a readout of your video memory usage with the various settings. With Landscape on medium, I read 76% used video memory. Setting Landscape to high made that number jump to 150%! Now I really want to see the Landscape on high. Frankly, I'd kinda like to see the Landscape on medium, at this point... Grrr...

 

Edit: The registration is working again. Woohoo!

Yes Well the controls setup is very simple i just need to get my inverted axis correct :)

So far it's fun .. real fun and it's a mix between Il2 and Condor..

RoF run very very smooth in my system just becareful with the posteffects just turn them off. The feel of the plane is good i like it. but i'm going to fly much more tonight and get a better idea of the weather physic..

 

Here so far my landings ... ;) wags want to fight ? ;)

That first screenie is great! :lol:

 

Are you talking about your rudder pedals being inverted? I had that same problem. I posted it on the bug forum, and then decided to just deal with it (I can't use the twist joystick because of a sticking-rudder bug). But when I went back into the game, my rudder was fine. No idea why.

 

The game is a little rough but very fun. Great feeling of flight. I'm amused that they include a printed keycard, since there are very few keys in a WWI sim.

 

I'm still tweaking things, but my fps is pretty smooth. I have some post-processing turned on. I'm a sucker for DoF, and this game uses it to great effect. Unfortunately, there's a known issue that the Options button in the pause menu doesn't work. Also there doesn't seem to be a way to get to the Options screen from the main menu. So I'm forced to quit the game, change the setting, then boot back in. Luckily it loads pretty quickly.

 

Overall so far, I give it a hearty thumbs-up. The apparent lack of any sort of replay system is very disappointing, however. And it needs a patch. But definitely I'm happy overall.
