It's not trolling, it's not the money...

But then in doing so they just did all the work they never wanted to do.

If you are in pause with CLOD...
Is not a WWII Sim but a WWI Sim I recomended: Rise of Flight.
I have discovered this one two weeks ago, first with the free demo and now in full. Excelent atmosphere and interface, friendly forum with a lot of information, service, shop; at the sim not CTD, FPS friendly and stable(You dont need a top of line PC), excelent aircraft models, FM, damaged models, superb sounds, weather effects, good scenery and airfields, you have quick mission, single mission, career, campaign, very good multiplayer, system of points(score)in line, skins, maps, addons, etc.
Really a very good sim.

Here's something else to remember, whilst i agree that its matured into a very good game, i had it from day one, and i thought it was pants for the first year or so, before they got it working well.

ROF is indeed a great looking game.
Downsides IMO are that you have to buy every aircraft and you then have to buy gunsights and other bits for those aircraft, costs rack up.
if you want a level playing field online you would need to purchase everything.

Just buy the mods for the planes you fly a lot, you don't have to buy them all unless you want to.

Oh, you were probably engaging in hyperbole to make a point....

Me? never, nobody exaggerates any point on this forum , having re-read my post it does suggest an obligation to buy I guess....my bad, I should have said any individual aircraft or aircraft packs you want has to be purchased and if you want gunsights they are also a separate purchase and lets face it aircraft like Fokker dr1 and SE5a were not included in the free demo for a reason.

I'm guessing you knew what I meant though.

So maybe it was I who was engaging in hyperbole...

I think with the gauges it was neoqb who dropped the ball and didn't model a lot into their original planes, when 777 took over they went back and modded the old models to add the gauges and 'scopes' (is that the correct term for a gas filled tube?).

I don't really like the pay per plane model and I have a small aneurism in my brain every time Tavingon suggests it for CloD....

That said I have bought everything for RoF, I want that game to stay around for a while.

Their forums are angry right now because the devs are adding more (non-free) content, I wish that was the main problem on these forums... :S

There is no real point to this post, I think I've had too much coffee today and I am bored.... Maybe I should get back to playing a game (RoF) or modding AI for CloD.

Have a good day, Bongo.
