clod free to play, inteligent move?

[Skoshi Tiger]

Although I'm against it, it would have benefit of removing all those "I paid $17.50 and it doesn't do what I want FIX IT NOW" posts! Of course that would kill the forum!

[Tavingon]

More content would be great, I would honestly buy every (well made) aircraft within reason, except maybe the current unflyables, that should be free as a generous gesture of goodwill and friendship.

Doesnt a maxxed out modded IL2 install have about 600 planes?!You really wanna pay for each individually!?No way!This game hopefully will be around in a decade and as 'mature' as IL2 1946 (although its mad to think they only changed things like overheat and G forces in the last year or two !)It would be a right pain to try and build up a collection of planes for even one theatre of operations .
After todays patch I will happily buy 'Battle For Moscow' but I dont want to have to buy Yaks , Corsairs , B29s , Me262s and Swordfishes individually and still not have anything like a decent 'match up'.

[Tavingon]

A list of 'craft which would be on my list would be many but yes, yes you make a very good point.

Well put, and worth repeating

np, i think people that talk without going around sometimes are more authentic.
but you know the say the world is already a pice of shit to add shit to it i prefer an optimistic attitude , most of the time it gets better results in my experience.

its pure numbers, 1000 guys testing will find out more bugs and faster than 100. so we can all benefit from that, the ones that pay too. imagine more than 3 servers with people!

something like a demo , at least rise of fligth style has no comparrison with the full game. (every time i get on the old albatros or spad i get raped by an uber triplane with 1000 addons)
using my imaginations with cliffs the demo could have only the blenheim and the stuka, or the cr50 and the lowest hurri. you cant say that having only those 2 planes and mp is like the full game, COME ON !

Its simply not true. You could have three testers and learn more than a 1000.... How many people report it and send crash logs? The right people not any people.

Case closed... You want to win from skill or money?


I agree with KT Dog and Dutch...

[Wolf_Rider]

and not to mention a possible situation where, if an online mission has a pay to play mod, will everyone have to have that same mod to play in that mission?

it'd really suk, if that became the case



not to mention a possibility that some of these "I'd happily pay for...", could be plants

Oh for sure, because of course those 1000 extra people which we already have are going to actually be bothered posting logs for what seems like a really piece of shit flight game that they downloaded for free that comes with 2 incorrectly modelled aircraft and with constant crashes... so gonna happen. What a horrible first impression, why would they ever want to support the game after that? See the amount of people who have left and not bothered with it regardless of how many features, new aircraft or fixes are flowing through. Get real.

Besides, computer programmers seem to be a dime a dozen these days, as we are in a very computer orientated world, the bigger companies have the buying power to hire these people, and not everyone is interested in Flight Simulation. As someone stated before, Aerodynamicists and Speicalised Engineers are quite literally a few in a million, as these courses can take up to 4-8 years to complete, and even then they have to speak Russian and actually want to work in the computer games industry, which isn't a guarantee for their future work.

I prefer the old school il-2; pay for theater release, and get all the planes they made for that theater.


it easier.

Me: Hello.

"Yes this is Citibank fraud protection, calling in to verify purchases. Your card was charged 60 times in the last minute, each at $2, to an online merchant called steampowered.

Me: Yeah . . . *thinks, 'dude this type of ish happens ev'ry day.'* It's fine. I was trying to get Korean theater airplanes for this game.






ROF facts



ROF's work in progress is the completed game with the entire plane set.

ROF is one program that windows allows you to delete the Recycling Bin.

All video game sales and marketing models derive from the one used by ROF; even for games outside its genre, like mmorpgs or games that were made before ROF's greatness was achieved, such as World of Warcraft.




Even after some ROF sim pilots died at home from wounds caused World War I era bullets, after getting shot at or shot down in game, both devs and fans said "That's not realistic enough".
