Do the planes still bounce off the ground when they crash?

Do they still fly in formation with wings twisted almost off or with half of one missing?

If you shoot into the floor of the cockpit from below are you now able to kill the pilot and or gunner? Or even damage the engine?

When last I flew RoF there were big problems.

*Waits for the now trite reply..."Learn to shoot!" *

Sorry don't want to turn this into a thread hijack.

*Now waits for Jason to show up as well as the rest of the rabbid dog fanbois.*

And no I 'm not going to re-install it to see how it has improved, because I don't have an extra $100 US lying around to get all the planes I would need to be competitive online.

When will you see something better than RoF damaged models and physics, BoB included, tell us about it. Thank.

Wow! Rubber planes! I love that!

it's still superb to any other flight simulator currently existing today, people like Elaurus are form the old breed of RoF critisisers, too bad for them really, they're missing something which is called "Fun".

Anyway, back to the news, BoB is really coming together in those videos, someone mentioned the grass still being ugly or something, I don't think so, it looks good actually.

BTW, I don't think this "Spitfire ditching at sea" animation is doing much better than the above "Crash Test videos" of RoF.


Crystal wings with Iron Man fuselage.

Watch at the very end (1'20") of this video .

Where do these wings go ?

This Spitfire is probably traveling at a speed of at least 220 mph so as soon as he hits the water the ripped off wings will catch tons of air and be braked. The fuselage would carry on further. The wings are back behind the Spitfire.

Just looking at the web store tonight, to get the 14 aircaft I don't have would cost $106.68, three times the cost of the original sim.

P.T. Barnum was right.

To be fair there were things I did find to my liking about RoF. The 3D models are excellent. The FMs by and large are believable. The dogfighting was fun. But for me the pluses did not outweigh the minuses, and coupled with a totally hair brained business model I could not see continuing my support of a sim that I orginally had very high hopes, and large support, for. Lots of others feel the same way I might add.

And I was correct about the attack of the zombie fan boys. All too predictable. And sad really.

I only just bought ROF recently (the ICE edition). I am not allowed to talk about my previous experience with the game, but I will say my opinion has changed and I think that the new version with Eight planes and it's current level of sophistication and smoothness is a fair buy.

I was also not very impressed by the business model either, but have since changed my mind. WWI is not conducive to the add on style that Oleg uses, the only way that they can have continuing revenue for game development is the model they are using, and they are developing and improving the game, and everyone gets the benefit of that.

I'm only talking about ROF on this forum because I feel that it is a complimentary product, not a competitive one, and that comparisons are valid. (I will concede that while I consider the damage model to be superb, a hard crash kind of looks goofy. There are limits as to what can be done with a computer)

I won't comment on this any further.

I wish people would stop quoting Hecke, so I don't have to see his banal and senseless posts. I wish the Ignore function on this forum extended to quotes, so that I can completely eliminate my contact with people that are just too stupid to deal with here. I have to deal with idiots all the time at work and I'd just as soon not waste my free time on them.

Come to think of it I wish I had an ignore button at work.......

Banal and senseless posts? That's exactly what you do all the time.
And that you pick on me permanently just shows that you are the real stupid idiot.
