looks more like nobody wins, the best flight sim released for the forseeable future has been binned.

That's right Bongo

Why would they close that CEM thread?

It mentioned CoD, and all hell broke loose.
They have a similar graphics thread running on the RoF forum, except the results are reversed ;)

Was it you who yanked my goodbye thread to Cranky??..lol

Yeah sorry, he doesn't exist here anymore.

He sure just added extra burden on the team, I think he will miss MG just as much as we will.

Well, this forum is here for people who want to enjoy what we have, and make the best of things. Personally I don't care if people want to talk about RoF or BoS, I don't see the harm myself, its obvious they are going to be compared, and until I get told otherwise (officially, not by anyone from another forum) then people can do so.
Trolls and troublemakers are going to get a swift boot off the forum though, they caused enough problems over the years, they are not going to ruin it for the people that are left.
Too late? Maybe, but whats done is done. Enjoy the forums while you can guys.

Thanks for the headsup, Uther

I just bought ROF too as I found ICE edition on special offer for around £5 online.

I have to say that it is a nice looking sim and I can imagine I'm going to have a lot of fun with it. Is it better than CloD? That is a hard question as CloD is a WW2 sim and ROF is a WW1 sim....

As far as complexity is concerned... (Steadies himself for the rotten tomatoes).... It kinda reminded me of flying the Tigermoth in CloD... but with guns. :D All in all I don't think ROF is half as bad as many on this forum would have us believe. I don't expect anything more complex as, simply, the technology of that era doesn't demand the same level of complexity as does the time period of CloD.

Now the big question: Which is better looking?

CloD hands down! But ROF isn't ugly by any stretch of the imagination.
