I'm a huge WW-1 Aviation Fan & was first on my block to buy RoF & all the aircraft to go with it and am very patient...all the changes have helped and I will stick with it..but really i've been spoiled since Day 1 with Il-2...I kind of expected all sims would reach the market with the same degree of finish that Il-2 originally did & then got polished since.The clarity of install, ease of making sense of controls QMB & FMB,Campaigns, skins , controls,dowmloads patches etc..For a computer idiot like me to get it...well Oleg did a lot right ( lets not get into Pacific Fighters...) AND flight is/was smooth & works with Track IR like they were made for each other. RoF was a labor of love for the designers , but/and you have to really love it to get thru these growing pains,with its gliches in primary download,FMs ,not to mention difficulty in navigating thru its various features,controls, missions ,loading times etc.
I'm still struggling thru its flight characteristics ( I can't explain it but it seems twtchy somehow & I'm not talking about the planes exactly or FPS but something I can't explain...)& how it operates with Track IR ( and yes I am used to gunsight view in Il2...no such thing in RoF...hopefully that will be added.) I find myself drawn back to Il-2 even with an up-to-date working install of RoF...
Did I mention it is very pretty too?
So I'll keep with it & keep up with the upgrades...it will get better...but with SoW ( perhaps right around the corner...) I still don't know how much I'll actually fly it...
My big worry SoW will have the same problems...I can only hope Oleg has spent these last 4-5 years since it was announced making sure that doesn't happen.
p.s. Another reason I come back to Il-2 is because of the brilliant mods by third party guys...the old game still rocks!
