Graphical aspect preference ROF vs COD and other stuff

RoF has been out (in the wild) for years and CoD hasn't... so of course the RoF is going to have less bugs, and do keep in mind RoF was extremely buggy when first released. (crikey) given the amount of time RoF is in release, it would have been nice to see how the CoD engine would have polished up, given the same opportunity)

Also... be prepared for Pay to Play (online subscription service) with BoS

BoS will not be free to play, we know that much about it from what they have said about it.

I know that it does not fit the whole "BoS is just ROF repackaged!" crap but we at least know it will not use the same business model as ROF.

Do some reading on the FAQ before you follow the assumptions that many are making on this board.

Please vote massively for COD.
If COD wins, maybe the new 1C/777 team will switch to DirectX 10 instead of keeping old DX9 for BOS.
Imagine BOS and ROF with a DX10 graphical engine...

For much more effect, vote also massively in this post of the Rise of Flight forum

I'm sure you know that Cliffs Of Dover was first released with a DirectX 9 engine, and only after updated to DX 10. See "BETA PATCH v1.06.17582 - May 05, 2012".
Since "the looks", and not the performance, seems to be what you guys are on about here with this pointless poll, tell me what big priceless aesthetic difference the change made to you.

But were there any differences on an aesthetic level, between the two?

What do you think was the reason for posting FPs?

startrekmike,

you should have the decency to identify yourself as a RoF employee (or stake holder), and not make misleading spin control statements here glorifying RoF and pretend you are a normal impartial CoD forum member

another sign of how underhanded the whole RoF clique is

folks if its that easy to mold your minds with a bit of spin control, you deserve all you'r gonna get, more RoF junk with a new coat of paint lol

you've just been social engineered folks, enjoy the show

Let me make this very, very clear for you.

As I have said over and over and over again, I play both sims and I am not employed by 777 at all, I am not advertising the sim for them, I am simply tired of the whole "us vs them" attitude that persists on this forum but not really on any other that I have seen.

I would spend my time on this forum posting about CloD and how much I like it but some on here have taken it upon themselves to make entire threads about how much ROF sucks or how BoS is just going to be ROF reskinned or some other such nonsense and I find all of it poisonous to the flight sim community at large.

I defend ROF on this board because I enjoy the sim and I think there are many falsehoods being spread around about it, I would do the same for DCS World, BMS Falcon or even CloD if the situation was reversed (I do defend it against those who think it is sill in the condition it was in on release).

Now, I may not have spent as much time with CloD as some of you and if that somehow means that my opinion means less than I am sorry but I don't really give a crap, I play as many flight sims as I can get my hands on and I feel that we as a community need to stop being so angry at one another and actually give this new sim a chance, I don't know what it really is going to be (beyond the dev diary entries) and nor do any of you so lets just take a step back and calm the heck down.

So, for clarity, and because you seem to like to report me without actually confronting me via PM for the truth, I do not work for 777, I do not advertise for 777, I have never been paid by 777 and if you don't believe that than I don't know what to tell you.

Keep your tin foil hat on all you want, I just wish this board would spend more time talking about CloD and less time talking about how all other flight sims suck compared to it.
