I believe looking at the screen is cheating as in real life WWII Britain people often flew in heavy fog. I therefore fight online with my eyes closed working purely by sound and force feedback alone.

Hence graphic quality is irrelevant.

Its not a heads up mate. Who knows what will happen in the future. All I'm saying is fans of the game can stay here as long as they want, anyone here just to gloat...can't. I once got reported for saying 'if you're not a fan you shouldn't be here' Thats the mentality of some people we were dealing with. They did everything they could to screw the forum up and make it a warzone. Depending what side of the fence you are on, we are either too relaxed, or the Stasi. I wonder what the person who made that comment thinks about the other forum now ;)
Where I failed, is I assumed everyone on a forum for a game was actually interested in the game, you know, like a fan. Maybe the other forum has the right idea, and it would have been better to go in to total lockdown, but that was never the il2 way, and talking about stuff like 'what side will you play' and what icons will you like' and other suger coated stuff will soon get old for someone who's been around il2 for 10+ years.Still, its their forum, they can do what they like. I won't go on to that forum and 'lay down the law' so they can forget about doing it here.
I don't care if people want to talk about BoS here, its over a year away, and 1C have a hand in it. Just no more flame wars please.

my bad...

Nobody is telling RoF is bad ( for what it is ). But going from CoD world and vision to RoF world and vision is a downgrade without any doubt. And nobody really wants a downgrade, even if that downgrade is to something good anyway. Because what you had before was simply amazing, and good things just don´t feel as good as amazing things.

It is not that dramatic. People are perfectly able to make compromises, if they can just be given a realistic game with a lot of content. At this moment we are basicly able to confirm that BoS will not be anywhere near the graphical level of CloD. Now we need to know how much of an upgrade (if any at all) will BoS be when compared to the IL2 1946.

We are being made promises, but that is how it always looks at the start.

What are you on about?
Firstly, RoF is way superior to Il-2 graphically.
Secondly, it is just the engine that is being used. BoS is not RoF. It is an entirely new sim, made using the same engine. This does not mean that it will look exactly the same. We can compare CloD to RoF all day, but until we see more of BoS it is pure conjecture, and you sir are sh*t stirring.

We have seen aircraft models from BoM imported into BoS, and they looked fantastic.

When they run out of models made for BOM, you'll see a big difference in quality of the planes.
Anyway, I'm not at all excited about the title. I couldn't care less if it comes out tomorow or in ten years from now.

So many waiting for so many years, then some disappointments...but I think that you took the right approach

Well actually Jaws I believe both companys helped each other with models. The ROF models are done to a very high standard especially given the lack of data compared to ww2 aircraft, so thats not my concern, my only concern at the moment is cockpit details, CEM and DM.

Only time will tell if these are legitimate concerns, but model quality certainly isn't one :D

One thing that I will be enjoying with BOS and 777s work is the amount of attention to detail they also put into skins, MG never did that you had to wait for skinners to come out with skins and templates that showed off the models details.
