Fox3, I'm a ROF fan myself, don't mind talking about it here if it comes up in context, but have you any reason for posting this other than pissing people off?

What an insecure primadona you are. Are you afraid someone is going to take your CLOD if posts a ROF video in the Off topic section of the forum?
Grow up bud. Some of us play and enjoy all flight sims. Don't turn this thread into the silly CLOD Vs "Xgame".

This is a great video and i loved the music. Looks like it was made specially for this video by Reflected.

Hats off buddy!

Jaws, i think you havent seen that Fox3 (now banned) has been spamming the forum with rof info.... Now that is just ludicrous and your supporting it!!!

I loved ROF it was a great game, it still is a great game and comparisons will always be made but what shouldn't be made is someone from either forum constantly spamming bias info/fanboy stuff in each others forums, all it will do is slice our already waning "community" (i use that word jokingly as it really isnt a community in my eyes anymore) into smaller bits.

I didn't notice that. Sorry. I just saw a cool video posted and I thought kendo was over reacting.
All this games are just different tools in our gaming box. I have most flight sims released in the last ten years and I enjoy or enjoyed most of them.
I really don't understand why some people, in order to enjoy a game, have to bash another.

Fantastic work by the extremely talented Mr.Wolf (SYN Squad).

@ Kendo, .

This was a mistake by Jaws he clearly hadn't seen what fox3 has been doing for the past few days and apologised.

In a good pub with lots of hot women.

This thread needs more poetry:

'The Gotha'

And as I flew above the lines
upon my growling Gotha

The guns below all opened up
and blew my tail off. Bother...


The RFC bomber pilot's lament:

I plied the skies
and peeled my eyes
For fiendish Albatrosses,

But lost control
spun in - the hole
is marked with flowers and crosses.

Excellent. Got any more AJW?

Glad you like it. I'm rather pleased with this, though it needs a little more work:

Tom Sopwith and the carpenters (with apologies to Lewis Carroll)


"The time has come", Tom Sopwith said,
"To talk of many things:
Of ribs and struts and bracing wires,
And planes with triple wings.
To twist and turn, and loop and climb
and run around in rings".


"A rotary is what we need,
behind, a Vickers gun:
two wheels, a prop, a wicker chair,
And suchlike 'till it's done.
We'll send it up into the clouds
To perforate the Hun".


Tom Sopwith set his men to work,
upon his new contraption
They hammered, sawed and glued and screwed
till driven to distraction,
then broke for tea, and biscuits (three!),
continued with the lamps on.


All through the night (the Moon was bright)
They worked on Tom's invention
Of finest wood, of cloth and dope
And wires all tight with tension,
assembled all from wheels to tail
And then they fixed the wings on.


The pilot sat inside the Tripe
behind the Vickers gun
they spun the prop, and off he shot
to climb up to the sun
to turn and loop, and wheel about
and perforate the Hun.


The German in his Albatross
was clueless what was coming
The triplane pounced, then wheeled right round
and went on with its gunning
The Huns below, all saw the show,
Astonished at such cunning.


So off they went, all giving vent,
to see their best constuctor
With gutteral curse, and language worse,
they barked out urgent order
To build and fly, as their reply
A triple-winged destructor.


"Tis time", Anthony Fokker said
"To talk of many things
Of ribs and struts (no bracing wires!)
And planes with triple wings.
To twist and turn, and loop and climb
and run around in rings..."
