Let's discuss the new old engine, guys http://forum.il2sturmovik.net/index.php?showtopic=21
I hope the devs can benefit from your input.

Agrrh... Looks like someone else is using my 1C avatar on that forum :)

I think that it was luthier who coined the name "Cranky"...so, don't gloat, you owe him that ;)

The "someone" is LOFT, one of the heads of RoF and BoS projects ;)

This is great and thankyou B6 for the news.

So this forum will now become a place where people (ok maybe fewer and fewer, but...) talk about cliffs of dover rather than argue about what the future looks like! More boring?, but a step ahead yes.

Welcome to a 1v1 dogfight simulator that doesn't even have cockpit damage modeled. If it follows the same ludicrous business model of buying fuel gauges, compasses, gunsights, pistols, ammo, weapons etc, expect an HE111 to cost $200. This is the final nail. The ROF engine is terrible. Vanilla 46 has 10 times the features in the FMB.

Its a new engine, stop whining bliss. ;)

Best news ive heard in 2 years.

I guess you missed the part about the DN engine. That's not new. Hence ROF engine. I suggest you learn a bit about it. Run a server for it for a few years etc, the last thing you would say is this is good news for MP.

i think it will now take a concerted effort to see what part of the code can be accessed in CoD to try and improve various elements. beyond that, our best hope might well be the DCS series with their new gfx engine due for release in 2014

Most original name yet, although I did quite like 'El Arbol' that had a bit of thought behind it!

lol. :grin:
