$35 if I drive my Jeep..

But what with gas prices I decided to get an old 1979 Audi (aka VW) station wagon



This little 1.6L four banger gets 36 mph! Which cuts my fuel cost in half!

Real clean, recaro seats and the guy I bought it from did a lot of suspension work on it too.. Handles better than my old 240Z! Plenty of leg room for my 6'4" body and room for 3 more plus luggage.

And get this.. Not one ECM (aka computer) anywhere in the car! OLD SCHOOL!

Which makes me lol when I see someone at work bragging about their new computer control hybrid that is about the size of a smart car claiming 35 to 37 mph! They get a real funny look on their face when I tell them my 35+ year old Audio gets the same mph with ZERO computers

Well like addman said.. it was not intended to go anywhere.. There is no right or wrong answer here.. Just people expressing what they like or don't like about the two methods.. As noted, I like the RoF method.. but in the end I don't care how we get updates (aka sequels, DLC, addons, etc) as long as we get em!

More planes would be great. I don't know of anyone who can make them and the SDK does not exist, but I want more planes too....

With the Steam/VAC connection we don't know how 3rd party planes will work in this new framework or if 1c will have a vetting/approval process for 3rd party planes (to allow them on VAC servers) or a mods on checkbox (like RoF).

I personally prefer the old 1C/MG update system where we purchase a theater (map and appropriate planes) rather than buying the planes and maps one at a time.

I like encouraging artists who produce excellent work .. the moneys there.

BTW, when I said I'd pay $100+ for BOM with flyable IL2 and FW190, i'll only accept it if the IL2 & FW190 have the flight characteristics of a spitfire and Bristol Bombay respectively .. just like 1946! .. memories! LOL!

Speaking for myself, I'm not that poor/cheap/patient that I can't shell out a couple of 10€ bills a year instead of waiting more then a year just to get a new plane. I bought a F4F-3 Wildcat plastic plane model a couple of days ago for 10€, I wouldn't mind having a virtual one for the same price tag.
