Hello 95th,
My name is Mike or Michael, I am 55 years of age and my longtime friend Oscar (Odee) guided me in your direction. I am a retired Commercial Bread baker who loves WW1 flight Sims. My first flight sim game in fact was Red Baron 2 back in 1998; played it for 8 months till my old 233 MHz crashed into No-man's land for the last time LOL. I bought CFS3 sometime back in order to fly OFF but could never get the downloads to work properly so I bought ROF.
At this time my system is not as good as I'd want it to be, I am running a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500y with 8 gigs of ram (can go up to 16 gigs), AMD Phenom 11 1045T Six-Core Processor, 1.5 Terabyte HD, Windows 7 but my only drawback is my petrol ran out (LOL kidding) I am using a budget card ATI HD 6450 with 512 MB memory. I can run the game fairly smooth on most setting but the landscape has to be on low. I do ok till I run into a cumulous and the birds are flying by at a slower pace.
I am trying to get the misses to let me get a better better power supply and a GTX-450 or 550, then I'll be set. I bought a good flight stick a few months back; the Cyborg X with twin throttles on the base.
Still learning the ROF curves and have not yet played online, will need to some good tutors with patience. Just remember to be kind to us old war horses and make sure that our cockpits have plenty of ammo, gingko Biloba and oh yes, several can's of ensure.
Hope to join your squadron soon. >Salute<
