Yep i saw sale signs too yesterday and bought Fokker DVIIF immediately and probably gonna buy more planes soon. Attention to detail and athmosphere in this game is totally fantastic, hopefully COD will be like this some day. But lets stay on topic and not start another COD vs ROF wars again

Yup - I've got a complete set now too. The next thing will be to get the field mods, where useful - I.E. gunsights in particular. They are rather expensive for what they are, but I don't see much point in getting them all.
I took the HP O/400 for a test hop last night - it seems a bit more stable than the Gotha, though it still has the 'gormess git in the front, obstructing the view' problem ( I think it needs a 'make the front gunner sit down' control), and I couldn't pluck up the courage to try anything but gentle turns - With no slip indicator, and a lot of inertia in yaw, spins seem likely.

I am downloading rof now. I will buy all the planes after I activate it said I needed to activate first.
Very insightful and great post. Very true that unless the flight simulator community doesn't start looking at this from the perspective just as you eloquently have done we're all in trouble. Even if you do not fly it - buy it! You'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't. This is such a niche market and it goes against all traditional business model logic and it still boils down to revenue. No one does these things for their health they do it because they love it but ultimately everyone has to eat. A bad example here but a variety of studies suggest that 10% of the world population is left-handed. Think of this as the flight simulator community its probably less. Now think about how often do you see things made for left handed people. I think of golf clubs. You don't see near as many in stores because 90% of us are right handed and never think about it. Go buy them. Flight sims are not destinations to be arrived at they're journeys. Great post!! |

Do not buy Sopwith Pup mod. Aldis is useless in it as it is located very low on the left hand. Last edited by Ataros; 08-15-2011 at 08:04 PM. |
