Been flying this one for a week now. Bar none, one of the best sims in the history of the genre.

I still don't like the CP (Copy Protection), DRM (Digital Rights Management) on this one.Now this is one I could get into.
And I will never be able to explain it to you.Well if people didn't steal software it wouldn't be an issue.
For release in the US there were four flyables. The D.VII, the Alby D.Va, Spad and Nieuport 24. The 17 came a week or so later.
I honestly could give less than a care about DRM. It doesn't impact me in any way, and since no other flight sim comes close, its worth it.
I really don't see the big deal. You are on the internet most of the time anyways, and while on the internet you have NO pirvacy in any way shape or form...
And I will never be able to explain it to you.
I am glad you are enjoying the sim, but at the moment it is not for me.
That may change with time.
BTW nice screenshots.

and making assumptions gets you nowhere.Paranoia and fear of black helicopters never does anyone good...
In the mean time I'll keep flying one of, if not the best, flight sims in the history of the genre.
Bill, I'm going to step in here and make a comment about DRM, but before I do, understand that I don't give half a damn about illuminati, contrails, black helicopters and idiots that wear foil hats. Now that we've got that out of the way, here's a little something about DRM and how it plays with your computer...The only people I see complaining about the sim are the paranoid black helicopter folks that think this game is stealing secrets from there computers...
Oh and the people that don't understand the game was almost totally self published which is why the microtransatctions for the new planes exist...
Chopping away your DRM comments, as we have a different opinion of DRM. Maybe because I've been involved directly in software development and seen the damage pirating has done to code and company's bottom lines.
I'm WELL aware what it is, as I've had to call MS to re-activate FSX and FSX-Accellerator when I built my i7 system. The point of the matter is, its not your software, movie or song... you have the RIGHT to listen to it, use it or play it, but you most assuredly do not own it. Unfortunately there are lots of people that thing they do
Then change your AV. I don't have the same problem with MW4.
I'd rather fly Over Flanders Fields, which was developed third party for CFS3, and is far better, in my opinion in graphics, single multiplayer options, realism and most importantly: countless aircraft types!
You cannot be serious! I moved to ROF because of the problems with OFF. The CFS3 engine is based off of the engine developed in 1997 and 1998 (an earlier version of the engine used in FS2000). The graphics don't even come close.
Are you honestly saying that this (sorry tried to find as close to one another as possible, OFF doesn't have a decent Alby D.Va model:
Looks better than this:
Or that this:
Looks better than this:
As for realism... um, its not even close. Set both games to full realism and try to start the N.17's Le Rhone engine. Do the rockers on the Mercedes engine on the Fokker and Albatros move and stay in synch with the throttle? Does the mixuture and raidator settings do much?
Plus OFF requires CFS3... which yeah, now, if you can find it, is cheap, but as flight sim folks, we probably bought it back when it was $40.00 plus the $29.99 for OFF.
The one advantage OFF does have, as you said, is the number of aircraft.
Please don't get me wrong, what the OFF guys did is stunning. But what the ROF guys did is astounding.
BTW, kinda off topic but several IL-2 modders are developing a WWI mod for the game down at AAA.
The game has very impressive graphics but without any single-player campaigns, I think I'm going to let this one fly on by for a while. If the developers add a couple of campaigns I'll probably go for it because of the graphics and the WWI planes, but for now, I'm sticking with IL-2.
