Please post a link to "some of [my] posts" that insinuate that ROF is not a sim. I think a re-read may be in order.
If you are talking about the IL2-BOS site very few of my posts mention Rise of flight except as a point of reference. The Sim being discussed on that forum is Il2 Battle of Stalingrad is memory serves me right.
I have created a thread in the Free Topic area that allows people to discuss what they would like to see in a sim in the year 2014
I have created a thread on game play and kill distributions.
I have expressed concern over graphical issues and multiplayer performance issues.
I have asked direct questions about game play and server administration.
Over all I have tried to be positive, but also that we should not lower our expectations of what a future should be like and in all my posts I have attempted to maintain a positive and respectful demeanor.

When I want to fly a quick mission in CloD, I have to set up one of the pre-builts so that it can be opened in the editor, open it in the editor, alter the plane types, AI (for all the good it does), change the ammo belts to my customs and then I can click play.
With IL-2 1946 and ROF, I can pick my map, my plane, the enemy, if I want a airstart or a ground start (I loathe air starts) and even alter my loadout, no fuss, no muss. I think this is a good example of why CloD should not be held up so high that we fail to see it's flaws, it is a good sim but the new IL-2 would be wise to steer clear of it's mistakes.
I play both, I enjoy both, I hate this feeling that I get in this forum that I have to choose a side because I have already chosen both.

In response I will quote the words of Loft on the BoS site

If certain people had shown this amount of respect for the CoD developers things may have turned out much differently.
But all this is pritty much off topic in this thread.
