2005AD,
I'm not sure what you mean by "Major Fixes". The sim works and I'm tired of the gloom and doom threads here.
A roadmap will be posted soon that will explain when some new features will come etc. A new feature is not a "fix".
Other than the stutters some people are complaining about, I don't see any show stopping "bugs" when I play with my friends.
I know people want certain new or different features like.
Replay
Dogfight Server
QMB
Manual for ME
Two-Seaters
RPG Elements in Campaign
Joystick Curves
Options available in Game
3rd Party Object Dev. SDK
etc..
All of this is being worked on. We're barely 120 days out from launch. neoqb has listened to forum posters, the publishers, beta testers and their own survey responses to formulate a plan for continued development. Some of this does not happen over night or in a couple weeks. The team is working very hard to give you what you want. If not already happy with your purchase and investment in ROF, your initial investment will be more than fulfilled in just a few more short months thanks to the hard work of the dev team.
Other sims go straight to vaporware. Others were DOA at launch, only to be saved by the community. Other sims were "ok" at launch and then re-launched and then improved over time to be a classic. Other sims are re-built every couple years and then re-sold for top dollar. ROF has not been abandoned by the developer, they are working hard to improve the already fun flying experience and they have listened closely to the community and are acting upon it.
Enjoy each new patch or feature that comes out, pick up a plane or two if so inclined and watch ROF mature and grow. If you own ROF, we pubs and the devs deeply appreciate your support and continued support.
Bottom line is that the "major fixes" I think 2500AD is referring too, takes time and they are on it.
More soon...

Jason, like you, "I'm tired of the gloom and doom threads here" but there is a reason they are here and you are among the reasons for them.
Folks, keep in mind when you read this, Jason is like the guy at the car lot selling this sim ("What can I do to get you to drive it home today?") and his interests are not exactly the same as "Joe Sim Player." His primary interest is greed (on which our entire capitalistic system is based and we can all see where that got us in the past year).
It isn't so much that "we're barely 120 days out from launch" (as Jason says) but the fact that most of this should have been working properly at launch (that's the part he doesn't say).
They (including Jason as the publisher) shudda been "on it" before they "released it."
Clearly many of these problems were identified during the initial beta testing and not resolved before RoF hit the market as a retail product.
Jason is just laying down a smoke screen here. He's telling you what he wants you to believe. Like any salesman, he's "your new best friend."
I sincerely hope what Jason is saying is correct and accurate ("they're working very hard..." "your initial investment will be more than fulfilled in just a few short weeks....") but my BS Alarm is going off at very high volume with every sentence I read. Somebody is laying it on waaaay too thick....
Granted, the Camel and the DR1 look beautiful.
But all of ROF's planes look beautiful and (mostly) fly beautifully.
That's the primary reason I stick around. I really enjoy the models. They are, IMO, the best ever in any flight sim.
But the game play? Pretty sad.
"All of this is being worked on...."
I'll believe it when I see it.
And if I do see it, I will say "Thank you."
But not quite yet.
