Hours later...

HOLY BLEEPING BLEEP!!

Yes, a majority means over 50%. What you see here on the forums is a warped sense of reality, because the complaints are harped on over and over and over again by usually the same people. It makes it feel like the majority of users hate the sim or certain aspects of the sim. There is no evidence either way what the majority really thinks because not all customers chime in to say whay they feel.

For instance, I get emails all the time saying how much they like it and then I come here and get depressed and feel like we completely blew it.

What the dev does is they listen to the communities commetns and then they test for themselves to see if they are on to something. If it is clear it tot them that it detracts in some way they fix it.

As far as what the true majority feels or experiences, it's impossible to say exactly. But I guess on the internet you can say you speak for the majority at anytime and no one can really prove you wrong one way or another. Gotta love the internet because everything said on the internet is true right? LOL.

The sniper AI has been addressed. This has plagued many a flight-sim and tweaking it is par for the course.

They have also worked hard to fix the "stutters", but even there you have some murkyness, because what I see listed here as a "stutter" I call a "hiccup". I hate micro-stutters of the graphical kind. That's my beef. A random brief pause caused by loading a texture is not a big deal to me and I don't seem t experience them like others here. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Yeah WF2, he likes to tease with video...

...why, I remember a time when we were......*edited out for NDA*


...and I've YET to see the video!



jus' teasin' Jas'

I wouldn't take forums like this too seriously. There are some thoughtful posters here with useful, constructive things to say, but there are also some who are really only just looking for a chance to be indignant over something. The sniper AI is a good example. It was introduced by accident in the last patch and the devs have said they will fix it in 1.008, due out next week. Total duration of dodgy AI = about four weeks. Even then, it didn't stop me enjoying RoF. It just terminated a few of my flights earlier than I expected. Not exactly the life-wrecking outrage some suggest.

Good parallel - I'm the head of a university dept in the UK (yes, really). Tonight I've just read some student comments in a questionnaire which make it sound like we have totally failed the undergraduates - everything is terrible. Yet in the UK National Student Survey, we have 95% of students saying they are satisfied or very satisfied with the course. It's always a mistake to confuse a vocal opinion with a majority one.

Any chance we can talk about the Dr I now, please?

Cheers,

So...these two wonderful looking new aircraft are coming free with the patch??? That is quite an unexpected treat! Good for neoqb!!!

Hummmmmm .......

I know, many people who experience stutters just have slowdowns (probably caused by trashy system). But then again, some people do have really strange stutters caused only by ROF in certain situations (on my comp, they only exist in clear sky maps) and those stutters can only be fixed by NeoQb.

Anyway, it's good to hear that they tried to fix that. Also that brief pause if a plane comes into range is not really terrible or a game breaker for me at all, but it sure is unessary and could easily be fixed (by preloading planes and textures) and if the devs don't give us a reason why they don't wanna fix this, you have to wonder why. But maybe they've fixed this also (i heard something about a memory leak, they probably meant exactly this).

I hope the best for the coming update. And not a basher like some other people here, but i do expect that they improve ROF with the next update, because ROF has so much potential and i would love to keep supporting NeoQb.

Of course NOT..

There are going to be SOOO MANY DR.Is and Camels in the servers, it's not funny!
