I've been meaning to get back over there and read what the guys think of it. Are there a lot of money back seekers ?

No, The response has been overwhelmingly positive.

Example:
Hey guys. I thought I'd give my short 2 cents seeing as I fly high performance piston taildraggers on a daily basis for my job/general enjoyment. Nothing like the 1200 horsepower LaGG, but my forte is Pitts Specials, Piper Pawnees, and Extra 300's, and Super Decathlons. Ground Handling: You guys hit the nail on the head with how a tailwheel reacts on the ground. Ground looping is a serious concern in any taildragger and you guys made it obvious that the airplane needs to be handled just as carefully on the ground as it does in the air. The way the airplane bounces and reacts to different types of pavement/snow is stunning and it's something I really haven't seen before in any sim. Bravo. Takeoffs and Landings: Again, perfect interpretation of how a taildragger needs to be paid attention to through all phases of flight, especially the takeoff and landing. There's a certain finesse that no sim has been able to capture. Somehow, someway, you guys did it. The airplane feels heavy on the takeoff roll and it reacts just as a real taildragger should. Bounce and swerve recovery is great. Ground effect handling seems to also be present in the sim and works just the way I thought it should. Landings in a taildragger is an especially difficult process to grab at. You need to be way ahead of the airplane. I noticed in the crosswind mission you guys paid attention to how a taildragger reacts if you aren't lined up correctly when you touch down. If you touch down sideways, it's not going to be pretty. Three point landings with full flaps in a crosswind are BIG no-no's in the types of airplanes I fly, and it's apparent that the developers paid extra attention to this. There's so much more to talk about, but I don't want this to drag on. This is simply an amazing sim already. You guys should be proud of what you have made so far. Thanks, Jared |

In more than ten years of flight sims, I've never seen such a positive and unanimous reaction from the community. Quite incredible. There's hope for us yet.

On Monday evening I'll be firing up my '109F4 and taking it for a spin. |

Is that car an early version of the famous Triumph Spitfire? Its turning circle is WAY too over-modelled.
Not fair on the 109 pilot IMHO. Many thanks for posting Best Regards, MB_Avro |

a more honest perspective is from this simhq poll http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.ph...ll#Post3854649 where 50% of people indicate they would not have prepaid for the RoF-BS beta access if if their marketing had been honest enough to mention the fact you just get a few hrs per week to try the beta access THAT is classical bait-and-switch from shonky sales people, and the oldest trick in the book. you market something as being one thing which is enticing, and then you later give them something completely different and for those that have been asking for their money back as a result ? lol, those same dodgy flawed product sellers are REFUSING to give money back (he probably already bought his new lexus and doesnt want to return to driving his old pinto)
