They have a similar graphics thread running on the RoF forum, except the results are reversed

Was it you who yanked my goodbye thread to Cranky??..lol

He sure just added extra burden on the team, I think he will miss MG just as much as we will.

Well, this forum is here for people who want to enjoy what we have, and make the best of things. Personally I don't care if people want to talk about RoF or BoS, I don't see the harm myself, its obvious they are going to be compared, and until I get told otherwise (officially, not by anyone from another forum) then people can do so.
Trolls and troublemakers are going to get a swift boot off the forum though, they caused enough problems over the years, they are not going to ruin it for the people that are left.
Too late? Maybe, but whats done is done. Enjoy the forums while you can guys.

I just bought ROF too as I found ICE edition on special offer for around £5 online.

I have to say that it is a nice looking sim and I can imagine I'm going to have a lot of fun with it. Is it better than CloD? That is a hard question as CloD is a WW2 sim and ROF is a WW1 sim....

As far as complexity is concerned... (Steadies himself for the rotten tomatoes).... It kinda reminded me of flying the Tigermoth in CloD... but with guns. All in all I don't think ROF is half as bad as many on this forum would have us believe. I don't expect anything more complex as, simply, the technology of that era doesn't demand the same level of complexity as does the time period of CloD.

Now the big question: Which is better looking?

CloD hands down! But ROF isn't ugly by any stretch of the imagination.

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.

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.

Did anyone see the graphics in WoP? They were not bad either.. one of the strong suits of the sim.. I wonder how they got it to lok so good with such a minimal performance hit.. I wonder if 1c777 will be able to use the best of both sims (RoF & CoD) to come up with something similar.. The lighting in CoD is the best I have seen.. It looks almost photorealistc and on a lot of the shots if you made them B&W they would look like archival footage..

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.
