I downloaded the rise of flight demo and I am really impressed, I cannot believe how good this sim feels and plays.

I am interested in buying some planes but my expertise in WWI aviation is spotty at best so I did not hit the game with a favorite aircraft in mind (as I do with any WWII or later sims). I want a decent stable of planes that will offer me some decent multiplayer action and a good singleplayer experience.

Would just doing the $20 ICE upgrade work? I mean, the planes are pretty pricey and since I am just getting started, twenty clams is not such a hard price to swallow as it seems to add a good set of planes (most of them I want, like the DR-I and the Sopwith Camel) and seems to cut a large chunk of the price out of the equation.

Of coarse, I will end up rounding out the collection when I can, but money is tight so I must spend smartly.

So should I get the ICE upgrade? or should I just build up a couple at a time? and if so, what ones first?

Dude everything is half off still for the sale. Get on it quick before it ends.

Jason

are the upgrade packs also on sale? or will they continue at the current listed price?

Upgrades are also on sale as well.

Jason

when does this sale end, I may not be able to get anything if the ICE upgrade price goes up!

I see the sale will probably end at some point today (my time), that will make it impossible to justify the expense to the wallet holder...I should have jumped sooner but I was unsure how much the sale covered.

Crap.

On the plus side, you do have a free game with two planes to fly the hell out of until money is freed up.

Bombing with the Spad is a kick.

I started just getting the main ones I have always liked, but gradually have added the rest even though I dont fly tyhem, thtas when the sales come in handy, do you have any Birthdays coming up maybe someone can buy you a couple of the main planes, say an Se5a a Camel a Dr1 and a DvII, that will get you in most online games if you like flying online.

No birthday till september I am afraid, also, nobody to buy me anything anyway.

I will continue to practice both online and offline with the Albatros that is free with the demo (the Spad is not may style it seems).

Maybe someday I suppose, maybe someday.

They seem to run sales a few times a year so just put some money away until the next sale comes up. Also, keep checking these forums. Sometimes people run contests and give away planes.

Punt... hope you saw the 9.99 sale on ICE startrekmike.
