Would you be willing to pay for additional contend?

Would I pay for content? Depends, if there's a huge number of fixes and performance boosters included and better sound, then yes, absolutely.

I can't wait for the next game in the IL2 series, but they got to fix this stuff first.

Like many on here I voted Yes, but that is conditional on a much improved sim. I personally am not interested in the ROF pay per plane model. I would pay for larger theater wide expansions with multiple aircraft like AEP, Pacific Fighters, PE2, and 1946, (which of course are more expensive than just paying for planes) and new maps, I personally like that model better and feel it is more suited to simulations.

I will never ever again buy aircraft one at a time. It's not the way to properly develop a flight sim. All it does is create income flow with no incentive to do anything but make more aircraft models, as that is where the money is for the developer that uses such a lame scheme.

What I will do is buy addons that supply aircraft, land and sea vehicles, and maps that allow for their use in a proper historical context. This is real value for money, and not just feeding an addiction for new aircraft.

Yes once the game is working condition. At least beta release level. Not the Alpha ATM.


And I'd like it per expansion, not pay for individual planes. And keep making the game better with each expansion.

+1 on this as other people have said it. Its not just the plane but the whole game that makes a game great, the theater development, ground vehicles, ships, buildings, environment, troops, AI . . .

That's like going to the store and paying a few quid for an egg, everyone knows you buy them by the dozen for several

Of course greedy capitalist figs try to hog and sell piece by piece. that model is weaksauce.

So is the Starcraft 2 and half life 2 spanned release idea.

Starcraft 2 was originally going to be released as one big game with all three races just like the original with two expansions in the works. but now Blizzard realizes their crazy fans will pay 20$ a month (for two accounts) for a 7 year old game with lame graphics, that's been haxorz to hell and rampant bliz employee GM abuse (game master) so leet peeps can max level in a day . . . so they split their game into 3 parts sold separably wait 2 years between each . . .

and then their two + expansions.

[Blackdog_kt]

There's no leveling neither monthly subscriptions in starcraft 2. You buy the game, you get the campaign of the first race (which is as long as the entire first game was) and all three races to play in multiplayer. Maybe you are confusing it with world of warcraft?


On the original topic:

What helps RoF is that it's only a 1 theater simulator. With a WWII sim I don't mind spending 40 or 50 bucks on a theater. This way most of the planes in that theater would be there. Not just the popular ones. People are most likely not going to spend a lot of money on a crap plane only to get blown out of the sky on a fulltime basis. The skies would be filled with 109's, fw190, Spits and Mustangs. Forget about the Fokker DXXI's or Fairey Battles and other obscure or low production number planes that played a part in May 1940.

So bring on the new theatres, after the base program is fixed mind you.

+1 to the above, just some of the reasons i think full expansions would be better overall and provide more variety in the long term.

I didn't say average, i said most people voted 50, 60 or 70, less people voted 10-40 and 80-100

We should enumerate the theatres we are most interested in and then making a poll to show the devs what expansion packs their customers would be most willing to pay for.

I would personally be most interested in a Pacific expansion pack with carrier operation (spotting and unspotting aircraft, for instance, so we could have proper day-long engagements, scouting patrols, etc etc), and quite a few of the planes. Who knows, maybe even an Early Pacific and Late Pacific, as long as the number of airplanes is adequate for both.

I understand the next expansion is the Eastern Front, which I really don't find very interesting.

There'd also be North Africa, perhaps including Mediterranean...

What else?
