I have to disagree...there were no "teething problems" The game was First Rate...problems, only very poor pilots who could'nt get off the ground, and who thought that they knew better, and were a better pilot than Oleg. They did nothing but complain and critersize every little detail. The so called fixes to appease were a shame! The original game, straight out of the box was superb, and I fly it regularly...Your record with ROF does not seem any bettter LOL, maybe you should stay out of the kitchen...and I mean that in a respectfull way, I know that you mean well

And what is my record with RoF? You don't know what I've done.

Nah, I'd rather mess up a few batches of cookies and end up with something tasty in the end than sit at the table in front of an empty plate griping at the cook.

I have quite a bit of really hard bark on me and nothing much bothers me...especially nothing to do with games and online forums.

What a joke.

FYI, as is typical, the NDA I signed will not allow me to discuss bugs and/or unreleased content from the beta.

I will say this though; The developers really are pro-active and releasing updates with high frequency. Some will say that is bad and indicates many problems that should not have been there to start with. Others will say the attention is a good thing (though very necessary right now) and the ultimate goal will be a refined product that incorporates latest code, effects and modelling techniques.

If you formulate your opinion without trying the product in any way and from only reading a public forum populated by people who mostly don't have the product in question, well then, that explains quite a bit.

I'm not even remotely saying this is a polished product that is perfect for EVERY flight sim enthusiast...at least not yet. What I AM saying is it shows much promise and with the developers working tirelessly and continuing to make improvements and sending out updates, it will only get better. If it's still not your cup of tea, fine. That's all I'm trying to say.

The passion with which many people who have not even seen any part of this sim are crying out is humorous.

Does ROF have an automatic updating service, like Windows Update, to download patches or fixes? Or are you notified somehow?

I mean , patches to solve problems of the game, not new planes to be purchased.

Or will we have to wait for a release of a official patch, like in IL-2?

Feuerfalke · #**177** 07-10-2009, 02:34 PM

IIRC it has an autoupdater, yes. But that's just second hand information.

If it's true what Loft answered to a German forum, I think that RoF definitely died for me:

4) What cost the addon aircraft?
About 25 dollars.

25$ per plane? That's insane!

If that is true...

Quote:

21) Will there be more patches than individual, or sometime is a gold edition with all previously released new aircraft types, modifications etc planned?
Yes, I think already in autumn we’ll present gold edition with all the patches.

...will probably cost it's weight in gold...

It updates automatically when you launch the game and it connects, the first thing it does is check for updates.

Those aircraft take a team of workers ages to make. $25 dollars is reasonable I think. Even on my modest income. Don't forget though, AI versions of new aircraft are confirmed as being FREE. You only pay if you want them as flyable. That makes it fair to those who wish to purchase, and to those who don't but want to stay current.

Per a post made by Neoqb today, the Albatros and Nieuport 28 will be free, and the Nieuport 17 will cost $7.62 next week.

The aircraft are VERY high quality, and I would not take issue with paying more for them. IMO, their Nieuport 17 at about $8 is a steal. I would have paid much more for that aircraft, as well as the Albatros and Nieuport 28. I had actually planned on spending about $15-$20 per aircraft but would not have minded paying more.

I know I am probalby in the miniority with regards to what I am willing to spend, but when I look back at how much I have spent on FS9 and FSX (yes, very different products), this pales in comparison.....and I am having more fun with RoF.
