Look, I am a fan of both but there are two things I hate about this whole situation more than any other, I hate the misinformation and I hate the petty bickering that I would expect on the little league baseball field between two parents that berate each other and the players due to blind pride.

you left out that RoF was a shocker when it first came out and it came out, many, many years ago now... you're ball

That's right... a clickable cockpit sets the bar at what a sim should be

yep RoF has been out for years and CoD hasn't and CoD was still in the optimisation stage and with a six month old graphics engine...
if it "geared for a low end system", it should run exceptionally well on a high ender. Why doesn't it?

Not every flight sim fan on this board or the ROF board has a heavy duty gaming PC, some of us can't afford them and would still like to enjoy the hobby, ROF scales well and looks good on multiple system configurations, if we are going to act like that is bad, I don't know what to tell you all.

how is that sound bug, which has been there for ages and excacerbated by the new map?
