Maybe is just me, but I don't think $39 dollars is that big of an investment for a healthier future for prop combat flight sims. Especially when I consider what we spend on computers, monitors, and peripherials to play the software. I agree that ROF needs alot of work, but that will be continually upgraded, if ROF generates enough initial revenue to continue. Maybe all of us in the community don't need to initially support the developers, but I just hate to leave it up to chance. There is alot of quality in what we've seen so far from ROF, so we know they have some talent.

Default NeoQB a bunch o liars

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.ph...ml#Post2764509

NeoQB, a bunch of l***s.....they told me that the sim will have full wide screen support....what a bunch of l***s

I feel like somebody slaped me in the face since I was the one who trusted them the most....

I realize its a new sim with a lot of bugs...but when someone lies in marketing purpose (to the ppl who trusted and supported them) and then vanish....

Would you pay $97 for it though Chivas,because that is what it would cost me in the UK,with postage and customs!
I wouldn't.

Wait another 3 weeks, then you will pay 39$, too. Aerosoft will sell the game in Europe.

Until a few days ago you could also have ordered the import version from local stores. Here in Germany it costs 50 Euros including taxes and shipping from the US.

I agree Uther, $97 is alot of money, especially for a sim that is not fleshed out. Hopefully your local sellers will soon have ROF at a more reasonable rate.

You guys on the other side of the pond seemed to get shafted with the high cost computer stuff. I'm having a tough time reconsiling a golf holiday to Scotland this summer especially when I look at the conversion rate and have to double the price of everything.

Did you get the game Hood? And if so,where from,because thats cheap.Also did the customs charge arrive yet? If you get one that will add £11.10 to the price.

Ive just been into by a shop in the UK they wont be stocking it as its not a popular title, the assistant then informed me RoF is already a torrent and available to download with CD keys etc

I suppose those high prices will push up the piracy unfortunately.

Well if I'm wrong with the price I will admit it! Somehow I worked it out to that figure.I dare say we will know in a few weeks here.
Can't believe its a torrent,and as its online registration,I doubt it would work.

EDIT
Christ its all over the net! Someones having a laugh!

I guess this is why they chose to make use of online-only mode and only playing via registred accounts in the first place.
