The grass... a SoW:BoB copy!! that´s why Oleg doesn´t want to put screenshots I believe. I´m sure that when this sim and black shark came out we will have more details on SoW:BoB.
Anyway... Rise of Flight looks excellent

The grass a copy of SOW BoB?

I have seen only totally different grass so far in BoB.
Tough I like the grass shown her, very nice done!

Well, the concept of grass. SoW:BoB was the first flight simulator with grass, correct me if I´m wrong, at least, the first that I see. However in SoW:BoB the grass will have effect on tires, and in Rise of... think that´s eye candy.
Sry my english

I'm not sure how much I like the pay per plane Idea, but considering the cost of my other hobbies it's still damn cheap. That spad in the field shot is nice though, It's my walpaper now.

I don't think it is as simple as "copying" SOW. Game development these days means that deveolpers can experiment with a lot of things. I would imagine that if you are a developer and sit around all day working on different ideas you are bound to have similar ideas to other development teams working in a similar genre.

Back to ROF
The grass will move in the breeze just as the trees will or so has been reported. I also suspect that, just as it is in IL2's ancient engine, different surfaces will affect aircraft in different ways.

Hey that will detract from the development of the differential bug splatter algorithym that will be putting midgies above lakes and grasshoppers above the grass!

Hrmm...I may give this one a pass until all of the planes are released and they have a all in one package. I'm really starting to not like the nickle and diming that goes on....I really want to support these guys but between this and the downloadable car packs for Forza 2, downloadable stuff for Halo 3, etc....its all nice but they are small little packs and the price feels high for what I'm getting. I can only afford so much...

Maybe I will change my mind. It really does look good!

Get ready to be corrected...

About two years ago, the kots Gennadich team merged with another group of developers who were working on the purely Eastern front WW1 flight sim (can't remember their name now , but they had a Sikorsky scout as the main aircraft. Anyone?). It was at the same time that KotS decided not to use the Il-2 engine. Anyways, the Eastern sim people were already releasing screenshots and video back then of grass in their sim, along with proper deep water and high-res terrain. It is not meant as an insult to Maddox Games, but credit for such a development must go to the RoF co-operative team, as they were first by about two years.
