We're working along the following lines:

* Obviously, fixing all reported issues encountered during testing.
* DX9 support
* Completing all other incomplete graphics and performance improvements

We're also working through an unexpectedly large volume of reported issues with the flight model.

The next version of the patch, which will take a bit more work, will contain all of the above. We'll keep you updated.

Thank you again for your tireless efforts in helping us make the game better.

Have a great weekend!

We have 2 choices,you stick with it and hope or it won't work,no point in fretting otherwise.

I think I will agree with Robert Watson-Watt , inventor of radar, who said something in the line of: I am easily satisfied with third best since second best is not yet available and first best never will be.

Nothing in this world is free, if someone tells you that, they’re lying!

I see. I hadn't considered that frequent updates and addons were a form of blackmail.
If I may ask, how do you feel about the hidden cost of getting into your car to drive to a shop when you want to purchase something?

There isn't a whole lot that is free in ROF to be honest. I have spent too much money on planes thinking they would be working on the career mode as they went. I have 26 planes in my hangar collecting dust because the career gets very stale, very quickly. There just isn't enough going on..I'm talking about in the air. Kinda lifeless. I understand their business model, but I need something to do with all this stuff they're creating. I have stopped purchasing stuff until they work on the career mode for now, and everytime I see an update from them, it's about another plane or weapon mod and the career is left out and has been virtually unchanged in 8 months. I'm guessing they aren't really working on it since they figure it's not really a revenue generator. In my case, they are losing revenue since I'm not spending money now since I'm not really using the stuff I already bought. Something tells me that a company that can charge $8 for a scarf and pistol, can figure out a way to get money from the career mode.

I can sympathise. Maybe one day clod will get a career or single player equivalent of its own. For now the RoF CareerB is all there is for offliners like us.
