JLZ Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Heads up, Rise of Flight for 20€ http://www.direct2drive.eu/2/8341/product/8341/product/Buy-Rise-of-Flight-Download [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
element1108 Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 I should really install that game again and give it a try. I got it right on release, too many problems with it for me off the batt so I took it off the drive. Looks like they've made a number of big improvements though with the last few pathes. Particularly with the mp (my biggest pet peve on release)

crazyeddie Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Bought it when it first came out, lots of annoying little problems but the developers said they would listen to the community. Went back to it recently and they sure have been listening, it is excellent now, it still has a very complicated Mission Editor but first class models, maps and missions. 100% improvement. Really enjoying it now, driving those old bags of bones is hard work and shooting something down is NOT easy. Try it, you'll love it, and you can run it off line now.
Spetz Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 I picked this up last night and paid for the serial code this morning and fired it after all the updates went through.. Stutters like crazy for me.. Did some looking around, and apparently it isn't compatible with Win7, but some people have it working well in compatibility mode. I'll check tonight after work I suppose. As well, I can run DCS and FC2 maxed, 1900x1200 with a min of 25 FPS. RoF says I've used 108 - 126% of my GPU memory, even at low settings..I read that taking post effects off helps, again, I'll check.. Anyone else have problems running this on Win7 (64 bit) ?

chromium Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Me. isn't solved yet. better to install an XP partition: it is from 1.07 that work stutter in Win7... be patient? Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.
Spetz Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) no problems runnning here on Win 7 64 bit. That's because you have a quad core processor. Found the problem.. It's the new patch which changed the architecture for dual core users. They officially don't support Win 7 as well. So unless you have a single or quad core machine, or are one of the luck ones to get it running on a dual core machine, you are out of luck until (and if) they fix it with a patch..hopefully..

Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Physics is fun! :thumbup: It shows how good the physics engine is. I can see by the windsock that the wind is set to hurricane settings. Steady strong wind with no turbulence will allow light planes (like these WWI planes) to do exactly what it's doing in the video.

I've tried everything, reinstalled 3 times now different ways, as administrator, in xp and vista mode, normal mode..nothing works..just lots of stutters..
Poor mans sniper Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 this I would buy from steam :\ Even if they start to carry it, you would probably want the new Iron Cross edition, witch they might not carry

I've tried everything, reinstalled 3 times now different ways, as administrator, in xp and vista mode, normal mode..nothing works..just lots of stutters.. I just installed it as admin. I have UAC off on my machine. Then I also installed all the other stuff that comes on the CD like visual c++, net3.5 etc. Works like a charm. However, I hear that for Win 7, you need at least a quad core becaues of the way Win 7 does multi-core processing. If you have dual core, stick with XP.
Rodney Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I have a question. Gogamer.com has Rise of Flight on sale for $14.90 and ROF: Cross Iron Edition for $49.90 http://www.gogamer.com/searchresults.htm?keywords=rise+of+flight&categoryId=&x=0&y=0 If I purchased the $14.90 edition will it have missing games modes etc? I'm also concerned my PC may not handle ROF properly. :(

Additional planes cost about 8 dollars, though there are bundles. About your PC, don`t know you`re specs?

M31 Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Looks to me like a huge charge for just a patch, one extra plane and a mission builder that should be free. If I had bought ROF at full price when it first came out I would not be happy. I don't own it yet so looking for some feed back on this if I am wrong on my guess. You couldn't be more wrong :) I actually bought ROF on day one as a download, from the original product to the Iron Cross edition, its been a lot more than just one patch. ROF IC now includes all that has gradually been incorporated into the sim as improvements and maturity (and that is one heck of a lot) as well as least four extra flyable Aircraft ... to put things in perspective, ROF IC is bang up to date as a base install, recently after a computer crash I was forced to install ROF again from my original purchase and then do the update dance again, was about 1GB ... 1GB is a lot since this sim was released, its not bloat, but sheer refined evolution and its not finished yet. RoF has some of the best flight models ever incorporated into a PC Flight Sim ... these are good days we live in! We will soon have a brand new career mode, twin seaters and bombers, all useable in multiplay as well as offline. To put things in perspective, folk moan about ROF's DRM, but at least I dont have the worry of having to jump through hoops each activation like I do with Lock On FC2 and DCS BS, because I like to upgrade my PC (I'm a PC hardware enthusiast) and subsequent OS re-installs. I'm being punished by ED and having to use up precious activations because of that... I think I only have two left for BS now ... I realise I can get more, but its unnecessary begging and jumping through hoops, that as a legitimate owner I find awkward and just a bloody PITA ... to be honest. At least with RoF IC, its just a case of signing in, they keep all my stats too. I can even install RoF on one of my other high end PC's (of course only being allowed to log in once) for experimentation purposes (in my case ATI vs Nvidia and dual Core vs Quad) if I were to do that with anything from ED it would be a strike against my purchase :( NO ... You have it wrong, RoF and RoF IC edition is one of the rare Gems in PC Flight Simulation, you might not like the genre ( I love it) but the vision is there and so is the follow up to what will be ultimately seen as a PC Flight Sim classic.
SAS Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 iron cross has EIGHT (NINE in special purchase programs) flyable planes insteed of FOUR in usual ROF. plus in box wiil be all skinpacks, paper map and poster. http://riseofflight.com/Blogs/post/2010/06/28/ROF-ICE-in-the-North-America.aspx
Rodney Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Ok good to hear, I will pick one up as soon as I can find a box ver around here. Thanks for the feedback I wasn't sure. But one question, for $14 should I buy ROF too or only? Can ROF be used with (MP) or upgraded to ROF IC? It sounds like it from your post, just not sure. Thank you for your time. I would like a clarification to that as well. If RoF and the Iron Cross Edition are basically the same with the exception of a few planes i'll buy the $14.90 version. I hope we can get an answer before the sale is over. :music_whistling:
EagleEye Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) If RoF and the Iron Cross Edition are basically the same with the exception of a few planes Yes, basically the same. I guess you WILL buy additional planes if you fly online on Dogfight PvP server, though...;) Edited July 29, 2010 by EagleEye Deutsche DCS-Flughandbücher SYSSpecs: i7-4790K @4GHz|GA-Z97X-SLI|16GB RAM|ASUS GTX1070|Win10 64bit|TrackIR5|TM Warthog/Saitek Pro Pedals
Rodney Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Yes, basically the same. I guess you WILL buy additional planes if you fly online on Dogfight PvP server, though...;) How much do planes typically cost? :joystick:
Rodney Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 http://riseofflight.com/en/store/planes Thanks, well, if all those planes come with the Iron Cross Edition then that's the better deal. :smartass:
crazyeddie Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 It's a good WW1 sim, it had lots of problems when it first came out but the developers have been reading their e mails and things got fixed. Just been bought out by Americans I believe so interesting to see how it changes. The Mission Editor is not its best feature, VERY complicated to use, and many did not like having to be on line to play, so they changed that. The ME is still VERY complicated and I do not see how they can change that. Plane costs is an issue for many, that is still argued about. Overall I think it's better than anything else of that era, and it is getting better all the time, or it was when our Russian friends owned it.
