Future of simulations 2010 discussion

[ElAurens]

Frankly I hope Oleg runs away screaming from the RoF business model. I know far more people that didn't buy it than did, and mostly because of the extreme expense of buying all the flyable aircraft. It's one of the main reasons I quit RoF over a year ago.

I am glad Oleg understands his market so well.

I feel sorry for those players who don't think that the sim should be fun.

I already have a job.

I think the same: A sim should be able to torture you as well as give you pleasure (however you want).

I agree, that maybe RoF's project is a little bit to comercialized, but if you want fast project development and maybe new better products in the future, you have to pay for it.
Yesterday I was playing Il-2 4.10 on Spit server and I was impressed how good it is. It is worth much more than it is priced today. I hope that BoB will have good protection and that will be the reason not to overprice it.

modern pc for home not good for my idea of simulation because operative sistem base is WINDOWS for new generation of simulator for home computer we whait the operative sitem WINDOWS change in WORLD operative sistem
EXAMPLE GOOGLE EARTH.........
to google earth you now put 3D immagine 3D object but not possible play online in google earth sistem.
MR.SWISS access to military tecnology is impossible for normal peoples because exist privacy and MILITARY spy of tecnology example i am italian is impossible for me acces to AREA51 military area not possible because military secret U.S.A. military secret and tecnology.
RUSSIAN have another secret
ITALIAN have another secret
GERMAN have another secret ecc.ec.
not possible loock the professional military simulator and copy this tecnology to home computer.

[Wolf_Rider]

you'll probably find the military training simulators are just that... training simulators. The focus being on "procedures" and component failure recognition / rectification.

slightly OT
There is a commercial (just like that found at commercial training) flight simulator available to the public in Sydney (Australia) on the top level of the Darling Harbour complex. They charge upwards of AUD$175/ half hour block and have various options, but it is the real "full switch", full mock up deal.

we do not have any secrets, we lost the war, don´t you remember?

[Xilon_x]

yes i remember we lost the war but after born the cold war from russia and u.s.a. and born the secret project and spy and surprise.
the secrets remain today and continue in future.

Secret technologies? We were talking about simulators, not death rays or ufos.

"fast project development" and "RoF" do not belong in the same chain of thought...



The math is pretty simple, for me to get back into RoF, and have all the flyable aircraft that were introduced since I uninstalled it, would cost me over $100 US. This is simply not an option, nor a community friendly business model.

In any case we are discussing SoW here and Oleg knows better.
