ROF is out on may 7th

[Feathered_IV]

Flight simmers are a strange, closed minded bunch. Always crying out for more, but terrified of change.
They will bite the hand that feeds them and then say, I told you so! when the hand is withdrawn.


I will do my best to support the product until the rest of you cry babies grow the guts to get on board.

"....but terrified of change."

I've also noticed this behavior with the FPS guys, playing the same CS map during 10 years.

I think it is well worth a look, these guys have done a tremendous job on what i believe to be the old IL2 engine, just shows there was still life in the old dog. The physics look promising as well as the damage modeling. It will give us something new to chomp on for the next year or so before SOW finally gets released.

RoF is absolutely NOT using the Il-2 engine. It was considered as an option very early in it's development, but the idea was abandoned. SimHQ have perpetuated this misinformation by leaving a stickied thread to that effect on their RoF page - despite the fact that the information is years out of date.

Tell you what - as long as they want me to give up the most basic security measure just for their anti-piracy scheme they ain't gonna see my hard-earned cash. It's so simple - forget about the "phoning home" cr@p and the data collection that is going to run in the background and I am interested again. I am not interested in having my personal data collected by neoqb (which is the reason why I never register games). I am not interested in providing them with a "user profile" for marketing reasons. And I am certainly not going to grant them the right to undermine my very personal PC security just for their own needs.

And re "crybabies" ... I suppose you'd also applaud when neoqb comes up with a new scheme which scans your PC regularly and asks your bank for your solvency. "Hey, that's the future," you'd possibly say, wouldn't you? Maybe one day, when corporations and their DRM cr@p rule your PC, you might understand why I am opposed to such stuff.

Hysteria. Calm down.

I was being sarcastic.

I just don't appreciate being called a crybaby just 'cause I don't agree with their policy. Okay?

C´mon, guys, it looks like a terrific game!
I can´t understand all the opposition to it.The last videos show a very complex damage moddeling , take a look.
I´m very exciting about this one, since I bought OFF ,who becames an addiction to me.

The opposition is not about the game's content or quality, but about the cr@p neoqb added afterwards. There is not one advantage of "phoning home" for the customer, just for the maker (copy protection). This is the dealbraker for most people who were interested.

With RoF being released in RU first, I'm sure there will be a cracked version before the western market sees it on their computers.

Hey, just adding flames to the fire. Nothing more.


Personally I'm not happy with the DRM management, but I'll read to see what happens once it's released before I judge if it's too invasive for my needs. So far I'm on the nay side.

What I'm not sure of, and I've probably missed it somewhere is: Will there be a BOXED version of the game? That's a deal breaker there for me. I don't have the speediest connection and don't care to D/L a copy of the game. Call me old fashioned but I like having shiny discs and boxes with hard printed manuals.
