I would pass. I would agree with many of the positive comments I've seen here but I never find myself wanting to play the game. FM is still very twitchy and it is very hard to shoot someone down. You spend most of your time chasing someone in circles. Might be realistic but also a bit tedious. Now...for some real fun and something totally different, I would suggest MS Flight Sim X Gold Edition. I find the missions quite addictive.

like im listenin chicks talking about IL2 when it came out...sorry guys couldnt resist....btw, there will be some FM and DM tweaks and it is still the best FM on the market...some planes are off (IMHO only one considerably) and will be fixed, but most flight models are very close to data they have (orig docs and tests), As you know or dont know, we have way more data available for WW2 planes. Also 777 Studios team introduced new features never seen in any sim up to date...the list is long (some could be seen in news section of the ROFs homepage)....
combat sim market is small, ww1 niche even smaller....I dont expect you all to like ROF but I know one thing....Im having fun with ROF as I used to (once) with IL2.....yeah, Im with IL2 from beta release.... I wish all the best to Oleg and team and cant wait for his new hit... Last edited by Tvrdi; 01-13-2011 at 10:05 PM.

It's a fantastic sim with new content being added all the time and a dev team that listens to it's customers and keeps them informed.

Without going into why, my thoughts are the exactly the other way arround. Very nice ac moddels but the rest? It cracks me up thinking about that threadh over at HQ about the Handly Page with 75(ish)% of its wingarea shot of and RoF more or less proved it would actually would fly irl since it did so in the game (or some nonsens to that effect) A user actually had to prove there was a fault in the model that needed correction before they did anything about it. Anyways, im sure the OP knows if he would like it or not, since he allredy tried the demo (i think) and its not like the annual budget would go down the crapper if he didnt after bying it  (unless he wants to buy ALL the planes that is, hihi....just kidding...maby )

RoF originally shot themselves in the foot with a limited plane-set on first release and an intrusive unpopular DRM, negatively effecting initial sales.
They have fixed those issues and seem to have recovered from the initial setback.

Took me a long time to buy it.I like it,for what it is,its very pretty.I am with Baron re the DM, its been modelled in a strange way.I don't fly it much,because I am mainly an online flyer,and RoF kicks me out of servers after a few minutes flying.Frustrating,and it doesn't happen in other online games I play.
I am not going to rip in to RoF, it is a good game, and worth having in your collection. The SE5A is brilliant,and its nice just to fly around in that,low level over the landscape. As to its popularity, I am lucky to see 50 people online in the RoF server list,whereas I still see 600-700 regularly in HL playing il2.

Spits V 109s 4.10 server usually has 50+ in the server every night...
See,this is the thing with RoF,if you criticise in any way,you get jumped on! Am I an il2 fanboy? Sure,thats why I'm here,and I assume why you are here. Am I a RoF fanboy? Sure,thats why I am on the RoF forum as well. I have RoF,have all the planes,have the Gotha on pre order,and enjoy flying it. I'm even in one of the better known RoF squads.If I could fly it more often I would,but my internet conspires against me with RoF for some reason. As I said,its worth having in the collection,but its not the holy grail,its a game. The O/P should buy it,as its worth the purchase price. Last edited by JG52Uther; 01-14-2011 at 11:44 PM.
