Ooohhh, I hope you are correct BuddyWoof, I just overclocked my Q6600 to 3.4G and added another 8800GT 512MB in SLI and OC'd the core to 650 and the memory HZ to 1000. Shaders are already at 1500. Just bought 4Gigs of G.Skill Ram from newegg for $54.00 (Had really good reviews for the gamers  . I really want all that eye candy as well for the emersiveness. Some of you may remember the origenal RedBaron when it was only 4 colors. But it was fun! My mouth is watering for ROF primarily for the MMO. Everything that I have seen so far looks fantastic.

It's just a recommended spec based on the machines they are using to test the alpha/beta builds of the game. Viks once said the minimum spec for RoF is "a PC running windows" Hiccup, Buddy..I'd be suprised if your systems didn't give you positive results. I have a similar system, once it was high end. w/c'd c2d @3.6 with 4 gig of ram and a 8800GTX. I've swapped the 8800 for an Ati 4870, but me and my PC are slipping down into mid range very quickly *sigh It maybe that we have to dial some of the gfx options down a tab, but you'd expect that in a new game. There has to be some future proofing in the engine. Think IL2, my latest PC is only now able to run it at full tilt after all these years. Hopefully RoF will give us that longevity

Btw guys, is RoF going to support current multicore CPUs? I have a quad and would like to see RoF taking advantage of it, atleast a little bit more than other sims right now.

Viks, I remember a while back asking if a E6600 oc'ed to 3.4 ghz + 8800
GTX and 3 gigs was enough to run this simulation with all the eye-candy on at 30+ fps. I think at that time you said it should be ok. In fact, I think it was you at the Gennedich forum who told me to Oc my E6600 and I've been running Oc'ed since then (thanks for that).
I'm just wondering how the optimization is coming along. Are you guys seeing good framerates with the beta code? Is the requirements posted on Riseofflight.com still accurate or were you able to bring the requirement down a bit since that was posted?
Processor: Core 2 Duo (Intel) 2.8 HGz
RAM : 3Gb
Hard disk: 6 Gb
Videocard: 512 Mb video RAM(GF9800 series or AMD ATI Radeon 4850 series)
Access to the Internet: At least 512 Kb/s
Thanks for your response.
Your rig should hold ROF ok (most of our office workstations are close to your specs, and we run it ok till 1920x1200).

Does RoF use the cores effectively and for strictly simulation purposes, one core dedicated to running physics for example
Il-2 supports more than one core. But that support word can mean that one core runs the whole sim while the other core 'only' handles background Windows applications
Will the two cores of a Core Duo CPU be actively working on simulation tasks rather than one core doing operating system housekeeping and not actively making the sim run at higher framerate
Has the PhysX API any chance of being used under RoF and future son-of-RoF simulations btw?

ROF have separated threads architecture, so two/four cores will work. Actually we have exact numbers of trials of core duo vs core quad, and core quad works 30-40% faster than core duo with ROF

Negative for release (we just havnt time to do it right now).

Good to hear Viks! I am glad i invested for the Quadcore. 30-40% is quite alot for a simulation. Right now i am trying to overclock my videocard to the absolute maximum. I am on 720/1020 Mhz. Although my card is mediocre at best, i hope it wont be stressed too much by RoF and that the sim but's more load to the CPU rather than the GPU, especially with multicore support, where visual stuff could be put into CPU #3 or #4.

Thanks VikS and I promise not to mention FMB triggers again almost  100% realistic physical model, 100% realistic graphics, 100% realistic damage model and aerodynamics! I'm going rabid in a minute stand back I believe it too, gets better the more I hear about it. Shooting for the stars I'm in Very nice I like that, shades of Milton and Blake Same here frank or franks, quad core next time. Not sure my EVGA 680i SLI motherboard can handle quad core though, Core 2 Duo E6700 at 3.33GHz at the moment. Someone will know Ming

ROF FMB had wide range of triggersThat sounds interesting VikS, can you tell us more and maybe give us an example please? Could an AI flight detect incoming enemy planes and scramble to take off to intercept them? I am hoping that your triggers are my triggers, to avoid ambiguity and perhaps disappointment 101% real will do me FR Ming

Thanks VikS and I promise not to mention FMB triggers again almost FMB triggers? We have some, actually ROF FMB had wide range of triggers sistem, so you can make almost a dinamic style mission.  Hi Viks I quess you missed the Topic posted by Ming a couple of days ago. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2677296/Any_news_on_triggers_Reviewing.html#Post2677296~Salute~ Chivas

Viks, one more question on the multicore.....
In DCS:BS, currently windows vista owners are enjoying higher framerates with the same multicore setup as windows XP owners. Have you noticed any performance differences between XP and Vista? Will vista perform better than XP with same multicore hardware as we see in DCS:BS?
Thank you.
