Wings of Prey Demo in here.

Pity RoF is so utterly unfriendly to setup, considering how long it's been out for I'm at a loss as to how many issues I've already run into that haven't been fixed yet, not sure it'll be getting much time from me :(
 
I've just bought ROF and thought it was very easy to set up. In fact, it automatically selected my saitek evo, set all axis controlls etc. The only part i needed to customise myself was the controls on the stick, as i wanted to change some of them around.

Fanstastic game. Very much like IL-2, but with slower planes, which means completely different flying styles. With all the easy mode options turned off, it's pretty difficult just to keep straight flight when youve got a small amount of wind and firing your cannons at an enemy. Graphics arent nearly as nice as WOP, but its just as much fun as the IL2 series. The similarities are really obvious between the two games. :)
 
Well after a few attempts at messing with Rise of Flight I finally got it to recognise my controllers...

After the experience that Wings of Prey has been I have to say that Rise of Flight suffers very badly in comparision, it runs like a dog even on lower settings, looks downright awful and the interface is just plain awful. I was starting to be won over by it until I loaded Wings of Prey up again, so relieved it only cost me twelve quid!

The flight model might be the best out there but the effort involved in just trying to get that far is not helping when I can be in and flying Wings of Prey before Rise of Flight has even logged me in, let alone loaded a mission, just what are they loading that takes quite so long?

I'll have to spend some time seeing if someone has a setup guide for RoF for specs similar to mine but to be honest I can't see me flying it much :(

Roll on Canvas Knights :)
 
i've never paid more than £25 for a game and that was rare occasion. i think i'll wait a bit for the price to drop sth is telling is going to happen soon.
 
Played the demo, and have just bought from Steam. Love the fluid visuals even tho it warns me about only having 512 of video memory it runs on 'ultra superhigh' with 8x anistrophy & 4xAA.

I'm only good enough to play at Arcade level at mo :o But having fun :)

Reminds me of Janes WWII Fighters......showing my age ;)

So forgive me, but is this a full flight sim type affair or more of an arcade shooter. I have the early IL type games and enjoy those, is this in the same vain?
 
Yeah, if anything its more arcady than IL-2, which is the most realistic WW2 era sim going. With all the aids turned off, it's pretty challenging.
