Also, I have seen some of your posts, while they don't carry the venom that some of the others do, they do insinuate that ROF is not a sim and that is just silly, if you say that ROF is not a sim then you might as well say that CloD is not a sim either, clickable cockpits or not, both do a very good job at simulating the aircraft (I do agree that ROF does not simulate the war very well but it does a fantastic job with the aircraft, even you have to admit that).

no mikey, its not, RoF flight models are total crap in comparison to a sim like the old il2 or the current CoD. my 6 yo nephew could take off and land on his 1e try in RoF, and these were some of the trickiest and most temperamental aircraft to fly in real life. RoF uses canned and scripted flight models, not real time flight physics (flying around with a plane with no wings in RoF anyone ? or maybe just fly your little aircraft at full speed into the ground from 2000 m to see how "realistic" the end result looks). the funniest thing is that this can get only worse for BoS, because with their reskinning of RoF and adding in a new map they will encounter more of the RoF flight modeling limitations (as oleg predicted when he looked at RoF, and most of what he said about it turned out to be correct).



folks, i am away a few days and you all been fooled by a RoF plant

list "startrekmike"'s recent posts on this forum to get some idea of who and what he is, its like looking at a RoF advertising stream or infomercial, while he undermines and cuts down on CoD at every step he can

its common practice now with some game developers, they send their reps to various forums and websites to pretend they are normal users, and all the while they undermine the competitor and glorify their own product to increase sales and reputation

he's either jason, loft, or one of their stooges, but whatever he is he is not a normal CoD player who has come to exchange information and try and get the most out of the game

and typical for the RoF dood's to employ these underhanded and misleading tactics

mikey, go home, you just been rumbled
