Oh, cool. Good to know.

<couph> Why dont you all just give the money to the developers? With bying this stuff you mostly support the distibutors. I wont buy RoF as i am busy enouph with CoD and IL-2 classic but i would spend 10 € for the devs to keep this thing going. So Ataros, create a "feed the animals" account at Paypal and the devs will be happier then see the money go elsewhere..

Idea +1 & Greetz, Allons!

RoF does not have a distributor. 777 is both a distributor and developer. This is why they can survive. DCS has the same business model btw. I think CloD will have to go this way too one day at least outside Russia (UBI ).

Regarding donations in April there was a thread at sukhoi.ru asking if fans can collect money to buy new modern hardware for MG (for SLI tests, etc.). Luthier answered that they have good support from 1C-Softclub and this step is not needed at all.

Let's just buy their products and let their management to have a headache regarding which business model they must choose.

Totally agree.

I bought the Iron Cross Edition just before they made the basic game a free download and don't mind at all.

It didn't stop me spending loads more cash cash on additional aircraft.

There are too many people here that imagine that because the planes are quite slow, the game will be boring. Not so. It's the relative speed and maneuverability of the aircraft that make any dogfight interesting, and RoF has this in abundance.

My favourite dogfighter is the Sopwith Pup, but the team giggles to be had in the HP 0-400 are awesome!

The Bristol F2b is similarly hootworthy. (that means good fun by the way ).

Not cheap though Price of only 5 such aircraft would equal the price of CloD. But it is worth it.

... I got the "Iron Cross Edition", bought it at Amazon. Its much better than the download version if you like a nice manual, a big printed map of the Western Front and other printed stuff. Really nicely made!
I additionally bought the Fokker E-III, the Fokker D.VIIF and the Nieuport-17 (Fokker-EIII and Nieuport-17 you need if you want to start an early career on both sides). All my planes have the fieldmods. Especially the gunsights are very useful.


Now a word concerning the support for the development of flightsims in general. I like good combat-flightsims and that`s why I also had the whole IL2 series from the beginning and DCS-Blackshark but,...

I still feel screwed after buying Cliffs of Dover. If I had known in what state it is on release date, I would not have bought it !
Everybody who tells me I´m a whiner for expressing such feelings, I tell: "go f... yourself !!!"


If it is a dvd-player or a car or a TV or anything else, would you accept products that are in such bad shape when you buy them ?
Sure not, you would rise hell. But when it comes to games or flightsims especially, you have to be nice, thankful and accept that you are sold, unfinished crap ? No way!


So much for that,... I like "cleared frontlines" (if they are not already cleared).

Well they flew in WW1 with the Stall Speed from an WW2 aircraft, but it's fun.
Tons of fun.
This week i had my first Double Kill, a Camel and a S.E.5 in my Albatros D.V, i was covered in sweat after that. Those where the longest 15 minutes since i am flying flight sims.

... well, I would not have bought RoF either on release date, I was told, that it was then also a "crippled" or "unfinished" sim. But one of the big differences between RoF and CloD for me personally was, that I was not waiting for RoF.

For Cliffs of Dover I was waiting since the first time it was mentioned because I was already flying the IL2-series and I was enthusiastic about it !
I would say, they are both equally good. (once CloD will be fixed).

The planes in RoF do not have "toy-plane" characteristics. Dont forget, you cant compare a plane from WW1, made of cloth-wrapped wood and wire,
that is flying at a speed where the other one would be stalling, with planes from WW2 that fly much faster, are more powerfull and bigger. That you "feel" this difference in the sim shows already the good quality of both flightsims.

Maybe in 1 year CloD will be as good as it could be, hopefully earlier?!"
