I tend to agree. RoF is selling for the equivalent of two Osprey titles over here. Or 2/3 the cost of a modest dinner out with the missus (one entré to share and one drink each).

I wouldn't.

I agree Uther, $97 is alot of money, especially for a sim that is not fleshed out. Hopefully your local sellers will soon have ROF at a more reasonable rate.

You guys on the other side of the pond seemed to get shafted with the high cost computer stuff. I'm having a tough time reconsiling a golf holiday to Scotland this summer especially when I look at the conversion rate and have to double the price of everything.

Did you get the game Hood? And if so,where from,because thats cheap.Also did the customs charge arrive yet? If you get one that will add £11.10 to the price.

Ive just been into by a shop in the UK they wont be stocking it as its not a popular title, the assistant then informed me RoF is already a torrent and available to download with CD keys etc

I suppose those high prices will push up the piracy unfortunately.

Well if I'm wrong with the price I will admit it! Somehow I worked it out to that figure.I dare say we will know in a few weeks here.
Can't believe its a torrent,and as its online registration,I doubt it would work.

EDIT
Christ its all over the net! Someones having a laugh!

I guess this is why they chose to make use of online-only mode and only playing via registred accounts in the first place.

Especially when I consider what we spend on computers, monitors, and peripherials to play the software. I agree that ROF needs alot of work, but that will be continually upgraded, if ROF generates enough initial revenue to continue. Maybe all of us in the community don't need to initially support the developers, but I just hate to leave it up to chance. There is alot of quality in what we've seen so far from ROF, so we know they have some talent.


For me it was a matter of not wanting to deal with the agravation of the things that need attention in the sim. The money or price was not a real factor or concern for me. I'm sure that once they patch her up, especially the language part, I'll be happy to support them

Won't support their business model. Sorry. It may be detrimental to the hobby as a whole, but I'd rather them think I'm not interested in WW1 flight sims than to have them think I approve of their business model.

2 planes.... online connection for off line play (I realize it's only for tallying players score).... half assed unfinished online access (THIS is one thing that shoud have absolutely positively been completed before sending out the door. It's like selling a car with only 3 tires).... poor UI.... figity Track IR support

I'll wait to see how everythng pans out, but I'm not confident in the future of RoF. And if it means setting a precedent for continuing this business model I'll pass.
