Thanks guys,but it is strange because the previous release worked !

Best compliment that I could possibly receive. Thanks.

Will it be possible to incorporate Narrative/Text post-mission reports which the user can complete in his own words ?

Doolittle: short answer: yes. Longer answer: probably not for a few weeks.

Somebody on the RoF site was asking for the same thing. I intend to provide that along with saving the entries and allowing the user to look at them in a log book.

Work in progress for version 2.1:
1. Descriptions now work in game.
2. Balloon busting.
3. Enemy scrambles on airfield overflights.

A bit more feedback.

Unfortunately, every mission I generate places the enemy aircraft FAR away, and I fly at a snails pace...and Time Compression doesn't work.. Takes 20 minutes or more to get into any DF. Getting to be not so much fun. I thought reading this thread that much more would be happening, especially in the later-released versions. <sigh>

Guess I'll sit back and wait for the next version.

It took 4 to 5 years for the developers to bring RoF to its current state and still they left out a sophisticated campaign engine for single player. Pat has been working on RoFCampaign for what ... 8 weeks? And he is working with mostly undocumented game features. Also time compression not working properly is a built in bug and nothing Pat can fix for us.

Nevertheless our feedback is important for him.


Patience my young Yedi ...

Fly for Jasta 5. They are about 10KM from the front.

Hi, Patrick: Just curious if you have had any feedback or help from the ROF developers? I haven't read through all the posts, so sorry if I missed it.



Good work and thanks for your efforts.

Not much. I haven't asked for very much either, so the lack of communication falls more on me than on them.

I will say that communications - to the extent that they have happened - have been friendly and I do think that they are happy that this is getting done. I suspect that they do not have the bandwidth to deal with this at this point.

The biggest thing that I have asked for is a mission results file. We'll see what happens.

I approached them briefly about incorporating the code into RoF. They stated that since I am using Swing as a GUI it is not compatible with their software. I replied that the GUI was only the tip of the iceberg and that the vast majority of the code is in the mission generation and not the display. No response since then. I will concede that full scale incorporation at this point is not trivial and would require resources that they almost certainly do not have.

On the plus side their communications to the community as a whole have greatly benefited me. In particular their resource guidelines are very valuable. I don't necessarily follow them to the letter, but that is my choice.
