There are several of us here who also fly ROF (in my case I flew ROF as my first sim, now CloD is my second). At times CloD is discussed in the ROF forums, too.
Here's a photo of Luthier and the leader of ROF, Jason Williams, from Jason's trip to Moscow in March of this year. The caption below it is what Jason wrote when he shared that photo in the ROF forums, and I would guess many who posted to this thread agree with his sentiments:
"On a side note, an unexpected opportunity arose when I learned that my long-time friend Ilya Shevchenko from IL-2 was still in Moscow for another night and we could meet up for dinner. I had just arrived and he was on his way back to the States. We live fairly close to each other in California and to get together in Moscow was a surreal experience. It’s weird how life works that way sometimes. We met up and had an interesting conversation about our respective development activities and the evolution of each team. We talked about the weird rivalry between our two products on the forums, the genesis of it and the future of both teams. We respect each other and we believe in friendly competition. We both wish the community would see it the same way and be supportive of both products."
