Video: Rise of Flight Musique Plus TV review (French)
Posted by David on April 18, 2009 11:12 AM This video review is from a French Canadian TV station "Musique Plus". But it's in French! Cold_Gambler at the SimHQ forums was able to sum up some of the video (text via Wings of Honour):The physics demo was created by neoqb and is also available on IGN:
- These are just images from alpha; the moderator has received the beta but didn't have a chance to get any of the images from it for the show
- The flight model is "a little complicated" but you can simplify things by applying avionics and autopilot (acknowledges that these things did not exist at the time)
- He compares it to IL2 with respect to the attention to detail regarding the external model, flight model and cockpit details
- He notes that "ratés de moteur" (engine skips) and carburator starvation can be disabled
- He remarks upon the high level of detail of the ground units
- The damage is hyper-realistic
- Asked "can you play with a keyboard?"
You can but really need a joystick - Then he talks about the slideshow of atmosphere and aircraft components, but the slides are in English so no need for translation
- Didn't get a chance to fly in clouds (?) but rain on the goggles actually limits visibility
- He indicated (as we know) that it is now in beta, with squads doing testing. And they end with a little speculation about release dates (2 weeks ;-))
