I just did a little more digging and realized i had to cancel my order with GO-Gamer. My graphics card is an NVIDIA 7600gtx with only 256 Meg of ram. After reading about the problems some people have had ,I am afraid ROF ICE would not run smoothly. I have a pentium 3.2 (2) cpu's with 2 gig of ram. I am surprise as I have some fairly Graphic intense Race games and run with 36 cars at times and Also IL2 1946 runs with lots of planes in the air with no problem or stuttering at all.

To Bad .I was looking forward to something a little more sim like than First Eagls and FE2. Although they are both great games.

Sounds like your only weak spot is the graphics card. You can get a Nvidia 250gts 1gb for about $100 or an ATI equivalent is probably even less.

Thanks for the input . I have several sims the are tough to get running like Nascar 2003 and Grand prix legends and they run just fine on my present set up. I am really not intrested in spending $100 for a new card plus +$50 for the ROF and then worry about finding the right drivers for my 7 really good race sims and the present flying games i have installed.

I guess I was kind of hoping that someone would pop in and say they run ROF with a similar set up to mine and it runs fine.

Regards
Pawgy

Any news on what brick and mortar stores will be carrying ICE? I know I can order it online and will, if necessary. But I'd like to walk in and buy from a local store if possible.

Update: Nevermind. I visited the local Fry's and Best Buy and neither had it. I'll just order online.

Fry's will have it soon and Best Buy may have it in July. About 1000 Gamestop stores will also be carrying it and should be on the shelves by next week.

Sorry for the delay, it's not our fault as we have hit all retailers hard to carry it. Some are faster on the draw then others.

777/Neoqb get more money if we order it online from the store, right?

Or does it have to be ONLY brick and mortar stores and/or online retailers?

I'm tempted to buy a second copy...just because. And I have a friend that will be getting it (he's got a mac and has been negligent about getting his system running the programs needed to fly RoF, but he's onboard now).

Hello there Broadside old chap! Looking forward to joining your squadron when I get hold of RoF:ICE smile

By the way, Jason von Williams sir, somewhat related to the question... I hope you don't mind me asking this but could you give us some contact details for Aerosoft please? I tried looking their site up on the web but can't seem to find it! Sorry if I missed something somewhere. I just thought if I dropped them an email asking when I can buy ICE in the UK, it might make them realize there is actually a demand for it! Maybe a few of us could email them too... to perhaps... grease the undercarriage of commerce!? smile

All the best to you Jason and Broadside! cheers

Aerosoft is keenly aware of ROF:ICE and the demand, but they have some issues with retailers they need to sort out first. Eurpoean retail works differently than PC retail. It will get to the UK soon I promise.

I don't have the general email contact for Aerosoft, should be on their website somewhere. I'll have to look for it.

Yes, if you buy a digital copy from us, we do make more money, but we are not offering ICE yet in our store quite yet.
