You are fishing again Avro.

I think the announcement hinges on the inhouse testing of the latest patch being stable after adding a few gameplay fixes. If successful the development will probably announce its future plans, if unsuccessful the development will probably fold. The possibility of donations effecting the bottom line enough would be minimal.

Getting back on topic. I would be happy to "donate" if they adopted a paid add-on model like ROF / DCS. I'm talking about "buying" full flyable planes instead of including them all in patches or sequel. God knows I hardly flew most of the planes in the original IL-2.

Is it 'fishing' because you don't agree? And is not RoF your 'chosen' sim of the two?

And are you now a self-appointed Moderator ;)

kudos to those setting up a donation . . .

its good to donate to something you really believe in.


lots of mis information here.

the sequel isn't the mmo, just because black 6 can't comment on it, because he doesn't know or has been told about it but told he cannot make anything public.

luthier / B6 said there would be battle of moscow as next series.


this isn't the US white house where people can find out about black ops the day after, while previously it took years before people got their hands on classified mil ops . ..




ROF facts:

Forbes doesn't list ROF donations in its list of top global charities despite its vast popularity and joy that people get from playing it because all others (such as Red Cross, Catholic Charities) pale in comparison and make give them a bad impression.


Blizzard, American Medical Association (AMA) and American Psychological Association (APA) are reluctant to count ROF is an addictive substance. AMA and APA run test but subjects become fans of ROF and bias the studies, Blizzard doesn't want to admit losing WOW millions to ROF.


Chuck Norris facts won't state that in reality and in the ROF game engine (which reality is modeled after), Chuck Norris misses some roundhouse kicks to ROF's Camels and Fokkers because while he can attain flight via roundhouse helicopter kicks, his killing device is his "engine" (his foot) while the bi planes have separate engines / props to fly and machine guns to kill.

WTF have you been smoking :cool:

No and no. All the aircraft in RoF are free by the way. You can purchase the cockpits however, to make them flyable if you wish. Though that is not a donation. It is payment in exchange for a product.

I won't buy add-on aircraft, I'll buy the next level-playing field game.

I'm talking about on line play here. Buying yourself a better combat aircraft is just spoilt-child wanna-be-the-best-scorer no matter what it costs Daddy. Even though I bought many of the ROF planes, the on-line gravitation towards 'the best ones' put me off it and I wasn't going to be suckered into buying every single one they released just to keep up.

In short, learn to fly what you've got or you'll end up splitting the on-line community.

.....unless of course we have on-line mission builders who will stick to 'stock' aircraft of the last official patch. Then you guys can spend away.

I also do not want sims to end up in that "wanna see stats and wanna be better than others" or "I buy more, so I am better" mentality. That is, why I do not want any total online stats. Servers can count each by each and a carreer mode can also count, but not globally presented. This would totally destroy the whole flight sim comunity, shouting at each other "You are not good enough to fly with us. Look at your stats....etc.".

Paying for each plane in the manner of RoF? The essentual idea behind it could work. It is just a matter of how it is done.

To topic: Donate on clod after all this? Spending money for new just to fix? Are you serious? And do you really think, that a donation of 20000 bucks helps? This is no money and the 1000 guys actually playing perhaps do not worth it. Donate will only motivate them to built up more insufficient stuff, instead of getting rehabilitated (right vocabulary?) ;)
