I understand that it's frustrating for him to see a whole uninteresting and irrelevant discussion about RoF unfolding just after his post asking to keep on topic. Solidarity to Blackdog, herding this cattle is not difficult, it's useless ... :-)

Yep, quite right, I put my hands up. I think the mods here do a good but thankless task and I apologise for the diversion. It's just....you know....we don't get an update 'cause it's a holiday weekend-fair enough-but as I point out that dosen't seem to prevent "another" Russian developer putting out quite a detailed update over the same holiday weekend.

We do seem to be treated as cattle here by the dev's though and that includes the mods too I'm afraid.

Edit; MOOOO!!!!

Pardon my french, arthur, but isn't it Jason who does the updates? And if my memory doesn't fail it was not until he got involved with RoF that any kind of information policy worth the term came into being. Before neoqb's "information" consisted of cryptic half-statements that roused more questions than it gave answers, evasive answers (if any came at all) and a load of pre-scripted PR blabla ... Familiar?

If you talk about RoF's updates you talk about the heart and blood Jason puts into it. Without him RoF would not be where it is now.

Exactly my words too.

you are right, jason updates are SO good, and enjoyable to read, that i read all off them even tough i dont play ROF.

Jason's always been very good with customer relations. When he worked at GoGamer he was consistantly on the forums trying to solve issues with people who bought from them.


Be that as it may. I'm looking forward to the A4, and think it will be interesting to see where online gaming takes IL2....... or is that where IL2 takes online gaming. As I've said before, further development of IL2-CoD and it's sequels is a vote of confidence to the longevity of this sim. It's always darkest before the morning, and it looks pretty dark now as far as workability of this game is concerned, but it's gonna get fleshed out. I venture within six months this time of troubles will be past and we'll all (hopefully) be comparing RoF and IL2 quite favorably.

Couldn't agree more. Further animosity only sends this forum into a further downward spiral. History shows that when Big-Brother type administrations are in place, it is not a nice place to live in for anyone.

Libertarian paternalism is the way forward. And so as not to stray from the current topic, that is exactly what the RoF team are exercising over their product (and no doubt the 1C team will when they can safely pull their fingers out).

Oh a big Amen to this Robert. Very well put, thankyou.:-)

Video Game? Maybe for some
 

Sure it is a video game....It is how you approach it...but to many it is a Flight Sim... Many video games are fun but to me Flight Sims are different... So just a video Game?...Nah..I disagree :cool

BTW...Have the Friday updates moved to every 3rd Friday?

No. They've been regular. This past Friday was a holiday and the staff had it off. Expect a new update on Friday next week.
