Are these stutters pauses? This is caused when you get a skin from another player afaik.

I do have them also, when I fly offline. In my case I think it`s because I have rather weak CPU´s. CloD doesn´t fully use 6 cores. When it`s too much for the CPU, the processing to the GPU probably doesn`t work right (=optimal)...

(You could be right tough, I recently also noticed much more stutters when other players are connecting to the server. it also stutters when they choose a side...)

I don't know where you're getting this from. Have you played RoF lately? WWI dogfighting is much different than WWII. The scale was different, and naturally the airplanes were different. Obviously, I've never flown any of these aircraft myself, but they handle really well. I get a more realistic sense of flight than in any other flight sim I've played actually. I remember the first few weeks I got the game I would poke my head out to the side and hear the air rushing hard and I looked down and actually got a feeling of vertigo. How those little biplanes float around is spot on. I think this combined venture will surprise a lot of people.

The RoF graphics engine is capable of handling a lot more, you just gotta give it time. Let's say, enough time for a 2014 release? RoF is amazing, and the fact that 777 is teaming up with 1C to make the next IL-2 game is literally the perfect scenario. Over the past couple years RoF has ironed out the kinks and the engine is smooth, pretty, bug free, and accurate. What else could you want?

I also love the pricing model for RoF. It prevents piracy, it keeps the devs funded, and it allows for a high standard of quality. Every one of their planes is beautiful (even if it's an ugly plane), and if the flight modelling is incorrect, since the devs are continuously funded, they can work on them consistently to fix them.

It's a shame that one thing failed, but in the wake of its demise grows a potentially far greater thing. The series lives on!
How does the series live on when development has ceased?

It seems obvious that RoF WW2 was allready in development anyway.

More time for to RoF engine, its been out for 4 years and while it plays a ww1 dog fight well I cant see how the engine will make realistic missions for bombers and the needed ground targets then it currently does, I mean lets be real here, the ground in RoF is as lifeless as mars(Im assuming mars has life just not the kind you can see very well).

RoF is a fun game but killing CoD so RoF can go ww2 makes no sense and hurts ww2 combat sim pilots in a bad way

There are more then 30 varients of Me109, Will you enjoy the pricing model for RoF then?

Honestly I hope the best for any ww2 flight sim but in a world where these are far and few between I see no benifit to only one being devloped considering they will be very different from each other in realism and thus may not have competed for are $ anyway do to the fact that many will buy any ww2 flight sim that is released.

Sadly, after forum flyers killed neoqb and now Madox I doubt anyone else will develop a new ww2 flight sim for many years considering the community is unsupportive and enjoys breaking its new toys as if they will get another every year ala fps games.

This is just like the SHV(werry buggy) moving to SH online. We can have opinions. But only of you win the lottery and make your own game we simply have to follow the path our hobby is moving.

Either we adapt

or we stop play

Its realy not that complicatet.

I stayed behind in IL2 when others moved to Clod (cod). And until 2014, i proberbly stil crash my planes there.
