The server instantly goes from 20-30 people to five. Now those that didn't get the map can't play, and those that got it don't have who to play with.
If you dare posting about it on ROF forums they delete the thread in a heart beat.
Good luck with this bussines model in the next game.
The map is ok, the collor of water is off. Water looks like 1946 water with better waves. The lighting engine makes it look wrong.

Hmm.. that bites.. I was hoping it would be that you couldn't run missions on that map on your PC if you didn't have the map.. but that you could fly in a mission hosted by someone.. sort of like they do with the planes.. disappointed in that..

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to be a ROF cheerleader here but if they offered a system where those who don't own the map could play on servers that are using it, do you really think that anyone but dedicated server owners and single player fans would actually bother buying it? It would essentially mean that they did all that hard work for nothing.
I think the map is a little expensive but that is to be expected for a project of that scale.
The reason they are closing threads like that is because those threads always turn nasty and the ROF forum mods don't want to deal with a ton of anger about something that is actually perfectly logical.
Lastly, I don't think one can really compare ROF and CloD's channel maps, both are built with different goals in mind and while I will always say that CloD has a better looking map, I don't feel that it counts against ROF's map as they both do what they set out to do (though I find that ROF is consistently smoother in the FPS department and the weather effects really make it interesting).
I imagine that this thread is really just going to turn into another ROF bashing session, I suppose there is no avoiding it on this forum.
I wish we could all go back to talking about CloD and not CloD compared to everything else.

Good post.. makes sense .. but it is still a little disappointing because of my previous post.. and I bought the map..

As for the last part of your post I think till this all settles out and some kind of clear path for CoD comes out.. and we see just what will become of this 1c777 merged product the comparisons will be there.. it is unavoidable.

You shouldn't have to apologize for extolling the virtues of another sim.. here or on any other flight sim forum for that matter and that only gets dicey when the posters involved take it there.. here or elsewhere. If those threads didn't turn nasty we would have more discussion across the boards with less acrimony. At the end of the day it's all about the flying really and I can't speak for anyone else but for me this is all good because it's like seeing the planes that used to hang from my wall in a totally different light breathing and moving.. Only now I don't have to go "EEeerrrrnnnhhhhh ... dudududududuhhh krshhh .. burlllghghg..." I can see it on my screen ..
