Nobody mentioned it yet, 777 have a sale running from now until the 28th! Got the Re8, the Noop 11 and the Dolphin which leaves me about 4 still to get. I might even go back and get some field mods as well this time. Didn't we just have a sale? Excellent!

Yay! Something to buy! Field mods finally seem worth it (to me)!

Buy everything you can---hopefully it'll keep the ROF boys interested in our sim.

I'm pretty sure I've purchased everything they offer but this is a good reminder to head over there and verify. Haven't used any of the options yet but what the heck, it's good support.

The field mods are better than I expected. In some cases they aren't too useful, in other cases they are too useful. I'd been waiting to get the N.17 pack (the anemometer to help avoid over-speeds in dives) and the Pfalz D.XII pack (as the plane is a bit of an under-dog and is also a late war prototype for which the Oigee actually seems plausible).

Thanks for the notification. Great deal on the SPAD VII. No problem paying full for the RE8. I would much rather shell out some cash than see the franchise go away.

Strange - The Re8 price seems to be 11.99 now but I paid 8.99 for it the day the sale started....hmmm....

But aside from this, yes the Re8 is worth every penny. Quite aside from anything else, it has one of the most beautiful engine sounds I think I've ever heard in a sim. I could listen to it all day.

Our web guy made a mistake and listed the R.E.8 and its Field Mod at the wrong price for about 12 hours. Some folks got lucky. The R.E.8 was on pre-order at $8.99 for 1.5 months prior to release. We typically don't put the latest plane on sale right after release.

It's such a beautiful plane I wouldn't have minded paying full whack. As I said, the sound of the engines on their own are a total piece of art. I feel almost guilty. I say almost because the savings went on several shots of fine Jura single malt whiskey for my best friend when we were wetting the head of his first born child tonight!

Unfortunately requests from yours truly to give his daughter the middle name 'Harry Tate' fell on deaf ears. Nevermind, he is young and hopefully he'll name his next child Richthofen.

Yes, I had several Jura's too...

Despite what the first post says, and the news heading on the front page, the Sale is THROUGH the 28th, not TILL the 28th.
Big difference there.

I spent about $50 today on their site. Best purchases so far. Got me the Harry Tate and a few others, and finally picked up some field mods for some of my favorites. Can't wait to get home and try the RE8 today! GREAT day to be a RoF player and fan. My hangar is getting almost full! I am guessing I am at about 75% or so. This and BF3 are giving my new rig a real workout this holiday season.

I know what you mean, this was a thread that should have stayed dead after the sale ended, at least to avoid confusion.

Well, last year there was an Easter sale. I'd guess that would be a good guess for this year as well. So if you can wait just under 2 months...
