777 Studios wishes COD best of luck on their launch!

Nor have they been encouraged to do post anything about COD anywhere.

Personally, I don't understand the weird competition on the forums between ROF and COD. It's baffling to me and wasn't like this in the old days. Ilya is my friend and we just recently had dinner together in Moscow (see this article for a pic) and both companies face the same challenges so it's pointless to do anything other than enjoy this hobby and make our products in the spirit of friendly competition. Everyone benefits as result. And I assume the feeling goes both ways.

I and others on my team got our start in the IL-2 universe so we have no ill will towards this franchise and appreciate all this franchise and the people behind it has done for the genre.

777 Studios and the Rise of Flight Team wishes Cliffs of Dover great success as it only helps the genre as a whole.

Regards,
Jason Williams

Seriously how lame is to point only "bugs" and whats "bad" in COD just to make "harm" to another sim....and that is from moderator and beta tester of ROF...he did this on ROF forum also btw (before COD launch).....just because he is a die hard ROF fan. I have nothing but contempt for them. I didnt behave childish btw. Enough on this I already spent too much of my time on them.

i think it is a bit disingenuous to be posting a congratulation message from another game distributor if in that same post when they link to promotional material aimed at their own game (the first shots are from his happy trip to moscow for RoF, a brief blurb with a photo of having dinner with luthier, and then 5 pages of advertising about RoF)

luthier doesnt seem to notice it

Little niche market/Huge amount of room for both titles. ~S~ Jason, really glad there are ties of friendship between the two best flight sims out there.

Tvrdi, do not judge for yourself
neither Vaal or Viks is arrogant.
and for firing Vaal must be hired
now all that he is doing for rof-project - he's doing for free.

Vaal posted not only bug-videos.
and why he must not to post bugs???
bugs is present. a lot. people have a right to know this.

Thank you Jason and Ilya.
Vaal's attitude was narow minded childish and silly. He can't see the big picture.
Flight simming is a small niche and both design teams are facing the same challenges. How narow minded do you have to be, to think you are helping one game by bashing the other, when the lead developers of both games are good friends.


This is the big picture:



There's plenty room on my computer for ROF, Il-2, COD , DCS, etc.

Guys,

Thanks for the kind words! 1C Mods feel free to lock this thread before any more issues erupt. I have said my bit and my original statement at the beginning still stands.

This isn't my forum so I'll leave now.

See you all in the virtual skies!

Jason
