Sure.

Will never be able to compare itself to this:

Well according to the OFF devs, reviewers have been comparing ROF to OFF in terms of gameplay. So, if that's true, one does have something to compare ROF to.

Well looking at the screenshots the ground texture still looks CFS3, just slightly improved. As for the texture of the planes, the paintschemes can be replacated in most combat and none combat flight sims, same with the planes texture. But the HDR,bloom, water reflections and such like wheren't in common use when CFS3 was released. If Microsoft had but a little more money into CFS it would have those. And gameplay, OFF is a payware add-on for CFS3 or did you not read this ," There hasn't been a WW1 combat flight sim that has not been a add-on or mod for an existing combat flight sim." OFF is a add-on for a already existing combat flight sim aka CFS3. I was talking about stand-alone game or a WW1 combat flight sim like First Eagles.
Heres my example for CFS3 ground and plane texture.

And the fact that ROF has only three planes that a player can use, I think I will stick to OFF until there is a ROF Gold version availble.

There was a bug with lighting that I'm aware of that would appear during the night, but as since been fixed. I've only heard a few people complain about having crashes (most of which have been due to hardware problems or incompatibilities), and a few have had problems with the plane models when they crash into the terrain, but there's not too many overall. Most of the ones you find occur are like the crash bug related to the user's hardware setup. You can check their bug subforum out over on the ROF base forum at their website.

We'll see what the others think.

Hope the models are exactly the same or they won't work properly.

A) That's a nice thought, but they're not in it, and that's that.
B) CFS3 was released in 2002. HDR was not available for use in games until 2003.
C) CFS3's engine structure would not even allow things like HDR and wave effects to be used to begin with.

Oh I read it, but I also pointed out that on Sim HQ, some of the devs (like Rabu) have been comparing OFF and ROF to one another. So, if they can compare the two, then I can contrast the two.:03:

Five, mate. Seven if you count the soon to come Nieuport 17 and Albatros D.V.

Oh, and ROF went gold... two months ago.

ROF went gold in RUSSIA and it hasn't even been released in the United States. So to me that point is invalid. And more than likely I'll wait a year until most of the bugs are worked out, and a good offline campaign is in place.

There you have it. It was a gold release for Russia as of May 7, but it's also for the world come June 17th. There are also collector's editions you can buy for the international release.

my gpu is a tad bit short... 640mb.

Schroeder 06-11-09 02:51 PM

When I upgrade my system in a year or so i might consider looking into this again, but as long as I have to stay connected to the net all the time it's a no go for me. My internet has the nasty habit of quitting on me from time to time.

Oh- you're still good then. The minimum is like 512MB or 256MB.

FIREWALL 06-11-09 02:55 PM

THX SH. :up: To my eyesight ROF has the better graphics.

It just seems brighter and clearer.


Not to open another can of worms.

But I think with a 30 minute demo just to hands on....

They would have a buyer here now. :DL

OFF for me was already out of the picture because I would have to buy CFS3 then go thru the hassle to do addons at more cost. No way to try a demo.

I want to thank Stealth Hunter again for bringing a wealth of info and pics and links so we can make a choice. :salute:

Stealth Hunter 06-11-09 03:12 PM

You're welcome, Fire.

Here's a new pic of a D.VII.

Some people have used Vista on it already, and with good results I am told.
