Uhhh OFFflyer, have you ever played IL2? Ever looked at some of the console messages?

” has beed captured by the enemy”

Yes, beed. Nowhere near N on the keyboard. Does that make it a bad game? No.

I’m also disappointed about the lack of planes, but I’ve been waiting years for a new combat flight sim with a flight model that’s even remotely realistic, and this looks to have it. I’ll be trying the demo first but if the flight model is good enough that I can actually do decent because of actually being a pilot (as opposed to IL2 style floating in the air at 25 knots when I expected to stall 10 seconds ago), I’m sold.

I’ll stick with Over Flanders Fields, thank you! When a guy can’t even find English on their website for 10 minutes and having to click every link, the english you do find on their site is very badly translated… can the game be much better? Never mind the internet issue… (big thing if it comes to internet brownouts like they are warning) This game titles it the “Rise of Flight” yet is only going to ship with 2 flyable aircraft from the late stages of the war? What? no bristols, moranes, voisons? What about some common mid-war albatri and DH2′s. I was looking forward to this game and was really excited when i saw the first screenshots and videos. Now I think it’ll stay on the shelf when I see it.

Tim your in the beta, what are the specs of your rig and how scalable is the game?

Minimum doesnt mean playable, minimum means capable of starting the program and reaching a gamestate. Not actually a playable game.

Fair enough but I still reckon there the recommended specs to run the game with all the fancy bells and whistles, if people cant run it on full settings then all they have to do is turn the settings down thats what options are there for and if people are getting to the stages where there machines cant play games even when they turned all the options down then its probably a good idea for them to upgrade if they want to continue playing games cause there only going to need more powerful machines to run as time goes on and thats good it needs to happen.

(shit grammar)

and from the arma wiki for 2
Projected Optimal PC System Requirements

* Quad Core CPU
* 2 GB RAM
* Fast GPU (8800GT level) with Shader Model 3 and 512 or more MB RAM
* Windows XP or Windows Vista
shit people are going to actually throw fits of rage leading to heads exploding.

oh and whats this

Projected Minimal PC System Requirements

* Dual Core CPU
* 1 GB RAM
* GPU with Shader Model 3 and 256 MB RAM
* Windows XP or Windows Vista
* Dual-layer compatible DVD drive, 10 GB free space on the hard drive

cut in half.

I dunno I run everything I want to play right now so I’m not to worried. :P Yah I do ctrl alt del and there is nothing running but the kind of stuff that will crash my computer if I stop it . Like I said I don’t even run windows explorer I run everything from my ctrl alt del window.

I don’t have “crap” running on my system. I don’t even use windows explorer when I play games so . . . I don’t think that is going to make up for the fact that I’m running a P4 instead of a dual core and my motherboard doesn’t have a PCI-express slot . . .

In a few years when most games are going to need these specs or better I’m probably going to buy an x-box 360 or whatever they got out then ;) It is just to expensive to keep up with computer gaming now a day. Who knows maybe Stardock or other indie devs will keep throwing a bone my way every now and again.

Besides I can’t say a WWI Flight sim is going to make me run out and upgrade my system any how. There are plenty of WWI flight sims that WILL run on my computer that I’m not playing any how.

Or you have so much crap on your system using its resources its slowing it down, just saying. What are you all going to do in a few years when most games are going to need these specs or better?

for the most part recommended system requirments are actually the min requirments. I’ve had the “Min requirments” several times and not been able to play the game in question.

Agree with a previous poster that people need to get over the DRM, you give out far more info whenver you buy something with a debit / credit card or go to see the dr or do anything having to do with car loan or home loan ect. If DRM crashed your system is probably because you’re running something unstable to begin with ;)

Am I the only one who remembers that the recommended system requirements are not what you actually need to play the game a lot of you need to stop moaning until the minimum system requirements are released presuming they havent screwed up there translation of the word recommended.
