Why so little interaction with the community?

[Storm of When]

I do remember Chivas, none of us could believe it when they said the Beta was over and they were releasing it, it was a bomb site full of bugs. I think they`ll fix this game at some point, but they need a better public face which costs nothing.

Really? How do you know it's MUCH more complex than the ROF engine?

I think it's because 777 have stated the limitations of their engine. They (apparently) have limitations with the top speeds and achievable heights of modelling in the atmosphere. A ROF flying mate told me, so don't shoot the messenger. It could be rubbish though, I'm interested to hear the truth though myself.

Also, RoF has a nasty fundamental flaw in how it models cross-winds effects. (in short, cross wind rolls the aircraft). Jason acknowledged it, and said there's nothing they can do to fix it, short of a whole rewrite.

Big flaw indeed for what is otherwise an excellent flight sim.

Funny because all the aircrafts in cod can't reach theirs ceiling, to not talk about clouds and meteo.
On the other side the complexity is growing with the new water simulation that rof is implementing.
After more than a year of "development " in my personal point of view the complexity of the sim is not either a good excuse or the reality. Something badly programmed is cot complex, it is only bad job.

This should be obvious to anyone. Take a closer look at the possibilities in the FMB, the complexity of the aircraft systems, just for a start.
