ROF is out on may 7th

[Feathered_IV]

If it is so obviously not for you, why do you keep banging on about it? Wouldn't it be a better use of your time to just go away???

you might not have spotted this, but you'r in an il2/BoB forum, which emm , err , you know, is for discussing il2 and BoB related products that we emm, err ..., as il2/BoB customers like or want to discuss.

doesnt mean you have to start clapping every time a flying turd comes past and we have to discuss its flight modeling, just because its an airborne object and you are in a flightsim forum

if its a flying turd, lets just call it a flying turd

It may be a flying turd... But at least it is flying
Last IL2 update we got was and I quote "4.09 will not be worked on until SOW reach a special point in development" No one is saying what that point is so calling this an IL2 forum is kind-of-lame anyway.
Calling it a SOW forum is a joke because hell four months after a promised... We still sit with screenshots of planes built in a viewer most likely built when SOW was a concept and they thought they could still use the original IL2 engine
The fact that the ROF guys built there own engine and flight sim deserves some credit. So some people do not like online 24/7 authentication.
Well they are not catering for those guys purely because the money is not there obviously.
The online activation and data monitoring is obviously an anti piracy thing...
My guess is SOW when it eventually is released will also have some find of online activation at least.

Four month after a promissed.... what?

And who promised that to you?


@ RickRuski:
You can be banned for discussing that here, you know?

But then anyway big-time LOL - to be concerned about owner rights and companies limiting your own rights, while you suggest to play a game based on an illegal crack. Really got to ROFLOL!
Sounds like always: It's okay, if you brake a law as long as I'm not hurt by it.

For someone who has been on the forum so long... You of all people could list the number of threads removed simply because the promise made have been so obviously not met.
But please even in your "let me please my masters voice" must admit Nike promised an update last month and Oleg promise (or as you would have us believe accidentally mentioned but did not really mean) a SOW webpage.
You really make me laugh because sadly you cannot help defending something you obviously know little about.
And nobody promised me anything. The only joy I get is reading a response like yours.

excrimsonve, like in RealLife, you just can't have it all. I'm sorry, but it's just not realistic to have a perfectly sim or product in every single regard. It's just impossible.

You don't have unlimited financial and personal resources. You cannot make a game and keep working on it for 10 years to make it perfect and then expect that the will refund all the money you had to pay for rooms, hardware, personell and production from the last 10 years.

And besides that, you also have to keep in mind that this sim must be able to run on average home PCs and available for a price that people are willing to pay.

So you have to take the consequences and make you priorities. That doesn't please everybody, isn't perfect in every single regard and it leaves flaws and ways to improve. But that's life.

And of course you know that a few more month of development won't add all the details you want."

You say the same thing no matter what the forum, Don't you get tired of protecting the developers at all costs...

Wow, deleted posts with promises about news and releases, links and screenshots of those vanished from the internet and most peoples memory, games and features held back to make the customers suffer and pay for addons, pushed back releases because developers are still counting their earned billions, programs scanning your PC for secret documents, distribution tools sending precious files directly from your PC to some secret site, most likely in Russia or some bada$$ US mega-company, ...

LOL - do you really believe in all of the crap you post or do you just need to vent your paranoia? What do you think is STEAM interested in on your PC? Your recently downloaded porn?

Besides, I'm not protecting anybody. Neither Oleg, Maddox Games, 1C, STEAM or Neoqb need my protection. But I'm also involved in the business enough to understand what is going on behind the scenes and as I'm part of neither of the above, I can freely post my experiences and my view from the inside out on some kiddies banging in the door of the candy-shop.

Forget it Bobb, you cant educate Pork.

I have no issue with online authentication or anything ROF for that matter. I have an issue that the beta is too short, but that is a post on another thread and forum.
I do have an issue on this forum when people have comment on issues in previous (since deleted threads) and then pretend to not remember them...

There was no referance from me to anything other than "Canvas Knights", no reference to any web sites or links. get your facts right

[Abbeville-Boy]

can somebody tell me if ROF requires a connection to the internet at all times during game play, even if you want offline play? or do you only need internet to start the game, then you could disconnect and play offline mode?
i am worried about lag, thats why i like offline play, thk for answer.
