I dropped RoF because of that dubious business model.

All it does is create a bunch of customers addicted to new planes, and makes developers focus on new aircraft rather than new scenario/content creation.

It works, sort of, for RoF because they never have to make a new map, or add much of any type of ground vehicle/campaign scenario content.

The model used by IL2, and now the new sim, has worked very well over the years. New aircraft and maps, plus many necessary ground objects/vehicles, all tied up in a cohesive package. Far better than RoF's shotgun approach where new aircraft seemingly appear willy nilly with no historical context.
