Dad says his current rig has: dual core, 64 bit, 3Ghz, 4 gb RAM, with 500 mb graphics card, though he didn't say what kind of card. Hopefully this will be enough for Rise of Flight?
He didn't mention what CPU, either. Devil's in the details... sysreqs are in post 1. Without better specificity, it's guesswork. Maybe you can email him the list.
Might be marginal to disappointing, might be OK. And no knowing how conservative they were in setting specs.

Well, for L4D, other combat sims, and flight sims, you really need/want this little gem.

He might set the graphics on that game to the lowest settings at first and slowly increase them.

And keep the resolution low, until he can upgrade his videocard. He's due.

I've seen that. Nice... but if you want to spend the bucks, ATi's forthcoming gem and a wraparound wall of monitors would be the more immersive, albeit pricier, way to go.
Heck, he needs to upgrade anyway. That 7600's got to go.

Problem with so many of the WWI sims people link...they all are just multiplayer crapshoots or arcade spamfests. Nothing has captured the classic Red Baron gameplay.
So you'd be, um, interested in this, now at GOG?
Experience the thrill of flying World War I bi- and triplanes. Defend yourself in spectacular aerial dogfights whilst enemies assault you from all sides. Carry out bombing missions, negotiate enemy AAA fire and outwit your opponents with smart tactical moves.
Red Baron Pack offers exciting air-to-air and air-to-ground combat in an age when wooden bi-planes and tri-planes ruled the air. How high can you fly?
<"Skyyyyyyyy Pilot..." [/Eric Burdon]>
Pack includes Red Baron 1, Red Baron: Mission Builder, and Red Baron 3D (a heavily patched version of Red Baron 2)
October 31, 1998
Windows XP & Windows Vista (32 & 64 bit)
I think you forget the '91 DOS original, and speak of Red Baron 2/3D.
