Don't worry, Hunter. We won't go to war with them. We're just having a good laugh and a friendly conversation over their flaws...
But if we do go to war, our BF-109s and Yaks will destroy their Fokker DR.1s and Spads.:rotfl: |

I wouldn't have paid $50 for it.

If you want to pay the 50€, fine, do so. Everyone still has the right to give their opinion (atleast at SubSim), respect it. PS. To your question, depends, if it was like OFF2->OFF3, no. If it was from stock SH3 to GWX3.0, yes. Last edited by Dowly; 01-19-09 at 05:22 AM. |

On other news, can you get to the OFF forums or is my IP blocked?

As a modder myself I have never even once thought of asking for money for original content, no matter how much time I have invested in a mod. Its not why I mod. As for the argument of costs, that is nonsense and we all know it, there are ways around the costs such as sites like file front, or torrents. |

Just thought of the Forgotten Hope Mod for BF1942. It changed the game completely yet the devs. never asked for my credit card number.

Aren't they charging for ROF? I would expect it to be better, after all, they control every aspect of the engine and everything else.
Personally, if the OFF mod was sold for under $30 like many store bought Mods, I'd be ok with it and in fact, I'd probably have it now.

Hello,
the pictures from "Rise of Flight" (RoF) sure look good, and i am glad they went on with the project - the Gennadich team was first working on the "Knights of the Sky" WWI sim, but were not allowed by Oleg to use an improved IL2 engine or so it seemed, so they cancelled the project, had to go for another engine and rebuild from the rubble. There are even better photos from "RoF" with crash-landed planes, showing some damage modelling, and films showing the DR.I starting, and in flight. On the photos the Fokker D.VII looks a bit too shiny with its Zebra camo as well as the SPAD (no weathering?), and "RoF" altogether seems to be planned for online play (which is good), but you only have three (?) flyable planes, no campaign, only german vs. american, and from 1917 to 18. Though I am sure the RoF team will improve this .. I believe the OFF team will also be happy to fly another sim now and then, they already said so lol. B.t.w. there is a recent interview at SimHQ http://www.simhq.com/_air12/air_395a Seems they have some 15 Gb of textures, skins etc.. For what i heard (not in this interview) they did indeed change the hard coded files from CFS3, but with official approval from Microsoft. It is common in the IT business to buy a developer's kit (SDK or what's it called) e.g. for MS Access, build a special application based on it, and then resell it with official approval. But then probably not in the game modding scene. There are also other interested members from the aerodrome forum or wherever who regularly help all teams that intend to go for WWI flight sims without charging, for historical accuracy etc., like Rabu, but also a lot of others. I do not know why Stealth Hunter has an axe to grind with the OFF team, but i am not in the mood to interfere for either side. I would certainly prefer to get phase 3 for free, like 1 and 2, but i still think it's worth it (but then it seems it's just me). And I would probably have even paid something for GWX, or the NYGM mod, because i think they also deserved it, if not more. I am certainly happy i got all this for free. On the other hand i would not have bought anything from this X1 company or what it was called, who stole mods from subsim modders, and tried to sell it as an SH3 add-on. Doing so was approved by Ubisoft, and i will never understand this. Greetings, Catfish |
