RoF on the other hand is beginning to leave a nasty taste for many here at simhq. I'm not sure if the Russian devs even care. They certainly don't seem to. It's like they've gone into their shell ignoring the west as being too troublesome and concentrating only on the Russian/Eastern Europe market. Arrogance perhaps ? Inexperience ? I don't know. They're just not communicating apart from the odd token effort to keep the faith basically but meaningless otherwise. It's wearing thin.
Not a totally fair statement I've not seen any real preferences shown to east or west. It's a global market and we are all getting patched and aircraft at the same time. All communication via the blog is produced in Russian and English at the same time. The ROF website has plenty of updates and the forum regularly has the devs posting in it. RoF isn't perfect by a long way but neither is OFF. What OFF lacks RoF makes up for it. What RoF lacks OFF makes up for it. Horses and courses I suppose.

This is not an expression known to native born and raised folks in the United States. Does it have the same meaning as "six of one, half a dozen of the other?" If not, please translate.

Point is rather simple really:
I bought RoF expecting it to be a WWI Historical Combat Flight Simulator. Oh it's indeed a good flight simulator for WWI aircraft, I even get to shoot stuff, but it's hardly what I expected.
OFF is a WWI Historical Combat Flight Simulator, which is exactly what I wanted. Lots of planes, skins, awesome terrain, and a rewarding experience.
If RoF ever has half the content that OFF does, I'll start to give it more respect as a WWI Combat Flight Simulator. I should be able to fire up RoF, start a campaign, and without realizing it 3 hours have gone by. I get that with OFF.

Horses and courses I suppose.
"Horses and courses"? This is not an expression known to native born and raised folks in the United States. Does it have the same meaning as "six of one, half a dozen of the other?" If not, please translate. It's referencing an English saying. "horses for courses", taken from the sport of Kings, horse racing Adopted into the english vernacular, meaning choosing something to perform something specific. ie: I use OFF for offline campaigning and RoF for Online and quick dogfights. A "different horse for each different course"
