Rise of Flight - How is it?

So D2D is going to have it on sale tomorrow and Im wondering if its multiplayer is good. I mean - single player sims are good but boring after a while. I loved the multiplayer in IL2 1946. It was great but the population is very low now. How about this? Is it doing well? Is the population good? Is it a resource hog of a game? Let me know people. Thanks!

Its a great game if you can handle the fact it isnt a complete release, The game only come with 4 planes and if you want more expect to pay 7$ per. The single player is not as good as some other single player ww1 sims like Over Flanders Fields, it lacks some dynamics like wheather and time. But the flight model and the GFX is the best i have ever seen in a flightsim. This game shines when it comes to multiplayer, but only if your european, any where else like US and you will have a hard time finding and servers with decent ping, though i have been able to play on european servers fine with my connection. Mutiplayer has leader boards and medals(like achievments). I bought this game at release and despite its downfalls its worth the money, especially since the deveolper has been adding content with monthly patches.

Why not give the demo a try? I was really looking forward to ROF, but I found the DRm to be too invasive for my tastes. I dislike having to go online for authenitcation checks at the start and again at the end of each and every play session. It's a little too big brotherish. Further, if Neoqb goes out of business, how will you be able to access your game?

Its not as bad as star force or sucurom, The account system is really the best way to prevent piracy and it has worked well for them. But it really no worse than steam. I dont think they will go out of buissness any time soon any ways, they are making a killing on dlc, and even if they did they will probly patch the game to remove the account sytem or at least leave a account server availible.

Where are you located? I don't see it for sale on D2D in N. America.

PS, you may want to have a look at Over Flanders Fields 3 if you're interested in a very immersive WWI era flight sim.
