oleg, you better hurry, RoF is releasing a ww-2 sim next

[Thunderbolt56]

Players these days are so spoiled (some for good reason certainly) and I agree there are some high expectations because of the current state of IL2 and the interesting things the MOD community has been able to do with it as well as other sims like LOMAC, DCS, etc.

Expectations are such that the mindset mirrors something like this -"IL2 was the last-gen, the next gen should be better in ALL aspects or it's a failure." The fact is, it's not better in "all" aspects, but it is better in some. Personal choice allows people to either buy it, work through some of the teething issues and enjoy many aspects of the first, of many, next-gen sims...or not.

I like it. There are some really terrific things in the sim and many more already in the works.

Sure, I volunteered and signed up to experience some of the teething pains as a beta tester, but this is a hobby of mine and not only do I get an early peek but also know I'm contributing to the betterment of the genre...whether you agree with me or not.

From where I stand, I'm excited about this sim and very much look forward to what it will be in another 6 months. That doesn't mean I have to forsake IL2 or any other sim I enjoy flying. I wasn't a beta tester for IL2, but I got onboard early (since the first demo) and walked with it through it's many teething problems as well, and to see what it ultimately became is truly satisfying. I know the neoqb gents are also very dedicated and talented. If it's better for anyone to sit back and wait, cool. It will be a fantastic sim though...like it or not.

as beta tester what did you find that needed review and fix, anything? seems like you could have listed a few things for them to look at. did they give to you some promise to correct any problem you found, do you feel that they did act on your requests and repaired the problems you found? i think the beta testers might have screwed up a bit from all the bad talk about the game on boards.

The RoF forum has lots of problems in there.

I've been with IL2 from the beta and I don't remember seeing the problems they are having at all, in fact its not a good idea to compare the 2 sims as some have done here for obvious reasons, obvious to me that is

I have to disagree...there were no "teething problems" The game was First Rate...problems, only very poor pilots who could'nt get off the ground, and who thought that they knew better, and were a better pilot than Oleg. They did nothing but complain and critersize every little detail. The so called fixes to appease were a shame! The original game, straight out of the box was superb, and I fly it regularly...Your record with ROF does not seem any bettter LOL, maybe you should stay out of the kitchen...and I mean that in a respectfull way, I know that you mean well

And what is my record with RoF? You don't know what I've done.

Nah, I'd rather mess up a few batches of cookies and end up with something tasty in the end than sit at the table in front of an empty plate griping at the cook.

I have quite a bit of really hard bark on me and nothing much bothers me...especially nothing to do with games and online forums.

Mere speculation.
