Function of living and working in the CIS. Average salary (with all the traps of using an average) is about 12K USD a year in Russia.

Sure, some crazy Westeners will spend big money on a HOTAS, but surely most people don't have that sort of money to throw around!

[edit]

We care, Biggles. We just don't care enough.

It's also not just about salaries. It's also about ditribution and retail channels. Today's Russia is a bit different.

Dunno, maybe not that off. Then again I could be completely wrong...
My thinking is that if they found a way to also let the environment partake in atmospheric interaction, and not just the planes themselves, without killing performance, then that might also be the solution to the windsock problem. If I remember correctly, they said animated windsocks where a cpu killer so far, and I don't think it was because of the graphical animation of the windsock.
But it's pure speculation on my part...

And if not, I'll just shoot down my wingman before landing to judge wind direction by the smoke from his smoldering wreckage smile

Not to be a moaning minnie and all, but still no mention of dedicated servers (in the no graphics, no licence required sense)?

Unless that's what 'dogfight server' refers to?

There is already a no-graphics sense and if you require a license key for dedicated hosting you can request one directly from Neoqb, for free.

There is? When did this happen? I dunno, I'm away for 5 minutes...

Don't suppose there's a dedicated server guide too?

So THAT'S what you were reading with those funny goggles? RoF 1.009 release notes/blog entry.

I'm very happy to see these improvements AND communication from neoqb. I have to add my appreciation for publishing RoF for the US market, Jason. I may get flummoxed at a few annoyances, but I'm still glad I purchased the game. I can only see the experience getting better.

In studying the problems you’ve encountered, we’ve concluded that vast majority of RoF users employ rather sophisticated (and not cheap) input devices


That is amazing. They don't know anything about their target audience do they? All they need to do is google "home cockpits", and they can see what people are building and using.

Great news - love the game already & it keeps getting better.
Can't wait for the winter textures - wonder if it will snow ?

whoohoo

I want to play with the SDK wink

So, mods will be coming. Unlimited possibilities (Korea 1952, please).
River Ships will help to liven up the scene. I'm liking that. Taking off from them,,, I'm game, hehe.
The Realistic Smoke section sounds fantastic!
And of course the joystick config.
Everything else too.
This is going to be a major leap for the game.
looking very forward to it.
Thanks you notworthy
I think I will head over to the store burnout

Being able to tweak the JS in game is good news. Playback and skin management definately another big plus. The best of all is the communication, and knowing what is being considered for the near future. Thumbs Up

Coming soon ... A new system of missions that allows players to respawn (a dogfight mode), mebbe for December? 2 weeks Be Sure ....

What I like best is the news about flyable two seaters. Not so much because I want to fly them (although I do) but rather because there is now a business model that gives two seaters a reason to exist. Hopefully we will se on or tow or a dozen added to the late 1917 - 1918 stable.
