 Written on September 20, 2005 Summary: Lock-on MAC Excellent flight sim for newbies or veterans. Presents a challengeto programming into the Saitek X52 controller. Written on July 1, 2005 Summary: This rocks! Well I was reluctant to pick this up. A friend advised me that it didn't run on his top of the line PC. He said that it was fine until clouds and weather affects were added and then trouble occured. Anyway eventually I found it in a discount bin and decided to pick it up. It runs brilliantly on my machine, absolutely flawlessly. My box 2.8Ghz, 1Gig Dual Channel Ram, ATI 9600 Extreme. I was so impressed I went and bought myself a set of X45 Saitek HOTAS gear. How much fun is this. Blowing away bandits in an F15 without ever having to touch the keyboard. The sound is only in stereo unfortunately so I can mix up my EAX settings to run it on 4 speakers but a 5.1 setup would have been nice. The graphics put MSFS2004 to shame. It took me a week or so before I was comfortable flying the Eagle and there are more planes to go. The game has a great level of depth and I printed off the Flaming Cliffs manual which helped some too (all 262 pages). Campaign builder takes a little time to figure out - like the whole thing really, but this isn't a console game this is a complex piece of software. Saying all of this the game isn't for everyone, it takes time, patience and an attention to detail to get the most out of it. I spent a week or so readjusting settings till I was happy. Neverthless this has helped my love and interest of flying and quite frankly this piece of software is a hobby for me rather than a game. Written on June 5, 2005 Summary: Simulation The game does exactly what it says it does, it imitates modern air combat. Learning is half the fun and despite a small manual anyone can look on-line with a little effort and find tons of useful information to learn more. The search button on forums is a key thing to understand. Some people complain about stability but the game has never ctded on me once. I run an AMD XP2800+, Leadtek 6600GT graphics card, and 1gb ram. I run everything on high except water (which is the real fps killer along with mirrors). Tons of fps mods are even available if you need them and look for them. I previously ran the game on medium with my XP2800, 512mb ram, and a GfTi4200 and it ran decently as long as everything was medium and water was low. It's all about tweaking, which can take time. The key is to tweak it and then keep at it instead of giving up because once you get cozy with the game you'll start to have the real fun. Getting over the initial learning curve it difficult but I think is probably well worth it if you care to understand some of the top fighters of our time.  Written on May 1, 2005 Summary: Lousy, out of date crud... To say that this game does not run well because a PC is too slow is ridiculous. I have a top of the line, fastest PC available to date - 4GB RAM. 3.75 GHZ, best of everything. This game is crap. Although it runs on WINXP it obviously is not designed for it. This handles more like something for an old IBM PC. The few decent screenshots are JUST SCREENSHOTS and movies and stills do not make a flight simulator or even just a 'shoot em up'. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, TIME or SANITY. I have had this game for 2 days and it is currently serving as a doorstop.  Written on April 26, 2005 Summary: You have to have a top-of-the-line machine for this I waited to buy a new computer before getting this. I bought a brand-new computer with what I THOUGHT was enough memory, a good graphics card that ran well on everything BUT this and even a new joystick. Suffice it to say that I was surprised when this game locked up frequently and one of the flight demos would not even play! Suffice it to say I was even MORE surprised to air my concerns on the forum for this game to be told that my brand-new computer is too antiquated for this game! The game got traded-in. If you don't have a dedicated platform for gaming only with a lightspeed processor, a $10,000 graphics card and 3,000,000 GB of memory you'll have problems with this. I never could map my joystick buttons to even be able to fire a weapon. And suffice it to say as well that I did not like the on-disk ink-sucking "manual" and "reference card"...a disturbing trend among most games these days. At least Ubi-Soft still have done well with IL-2 Sturmovik! |
