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.

"The ROF website has plenty of updates and the forum regularly has the devs posting in it."

I suspect they'd make a lot more friends and soothe some ruffled feathers if the posted on SimHQ!

"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.

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.

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"

You Brits are weird. wink

I'll be honest, I never heard the saying before, but the longer version I have heard similar.
