I think that while it's sometimes true that you don't get what you pay for (cough..CoD..cough) it's even more true that you will never get what you don't pay for. Not sure 'bout that, just picked up CloD for $10 or so just this morning. It HAS to be worth that!  EDIT: I feel dirty, selling my soul to Steam. I prefer that imagery to some virginal loss, though perhaps appropriate on this day  I think the ROF developers have done a great job balancing between unpaid-for and paid-for content. ... Just don't give me the " starving infants in Russia" scenario, it demeans us all. Make content and let the community decide whether it is worth it, and let us help to drive future development (not that they haven't listened, cough-cough zeppelin). While I certainly have not been in on RoF from the very beginning, many here have been, and I consider myself a true supporter. I just can't stomach coolaid... PS: perhaps a bit o' the Christmas 'spirit' is channeling through me at the moment.

Let me be clear about my own position: I am a full supporter of RoF and the 777 devs (my own definition of full supporter being having a full hangar and almost all the gauges). I think they've done a fantastic job supporting and expanding the sim, not to mention listening to and informing the community.
My comment was an attempt at humor. I don't think 777 is wrong to offer sidearms and colored scarfs, I just don't see the value of it for me... And I'm not going to throw my money at 777 just to support them, no matter what they offer. If others do find the pack worth their 8$, intrinsically or as an opportunity to send cash their way I don't have a problem with that.
The St-Mihiel campaign, on the other, strikes me as a worthwhile expenditure if well executed.

I don't know, I'm not so sure COD is even worth that. I made the mistake of buying it for ten bucks , too. "How can you go wrong for that price?"
Well, the options screens won't work for me. And I was getting flashing colors in the cockpit. Uninstalled, and now I can't reinstall. Steam is telling me, "That title is unavailable."
I should have spent my money on another ROF airplane.

If you go over to the CoD tech forums I bet someone can help you. I think at $10 its about right (when you get it going !) If you want to hear about really selling your soul I got WoP and the Wings of the Luftwaffe expansion of Steam for $5. Its about as much of a sim as Fallout3 but it went straight on and ran plus on max everything it runs like hot butter. Its a blast to play and has given me a bit of a WW2 fix with eyecandy.
I've never had one minute of an issue with the RoF model of business, If I want it I can pay for it, if I don't want it I don't unless I use the excercise as a way of supporting the future development of the title. I might have been lucky with the game but it has always run well for me, in its current state is smoother than IL2 Classic and continues to grow and grow.
As to the campaign I am just starting but I'm hooked already. For the price of a couple of pints it seems like very cheap entertainment to me.

Can you torch other planes with the flare gun?

Just a couple questions:
1. Is it possible to flame balloons with the flare gun?
2. Do DH2 pilots have to worry about their scarf getting tangled in the prop and then get completely sucked through the blades?
Would also like to know if having a scarf on will help wipe the oil off the goggles(new oil graphics BTW are cool!)

....I thought this was supposed to be unplayable.
And I'm not out over the water by myself. I just finished a mission , attacking Hawkings Airfield. 109's, 110's and Hurricanes in the air. Explosions on the ground. Planes crashing. Running smooth as silk. Not a stutter. Haven't done a single tweak.
No super computer. Quad core, I7 processor, 1 gb ATI vid card. Was top of the line when I bought it. Pretty average , now, I guess.
Was expecting a damn slide show from all the posts. Lots of, "I'm shelving this 'til they fix it," posts.
I had menu problems when I first openeded 'er up and thought, "Oh no, what the Hell did I do this for?"
In the game, itself, the only thing I see that might be considered an issue, is shimmering trees when I'm down low. The trees and their shadows have it. Not bad enough to be a game stopper.
Obviously, there were some major things wrong with this sim. Too many posts about it, to think nothing was wrong. I'm just glad I waited to pick it up.
But, I don't know. Seems oksy. Looks fixed. Well...its' running fine for me, anyway. I even have AA working. Closed it down in the ingame menu, and switched it on in the ATI settings. have it set to 4X. Might lower it to 2X and see if I can play this on Ultr-High.
If anyone is still reading this boring post, how do you disable the Ubisoft splashscreen? I read that it migght cure my menu issues. Thanks. Good to see you got CoD to play well!

Did anybody notice that since the patch, the roll rate of the albatros is damn slow? The DIII doesn't really roll at all. It now takes ages. I havent changes the curves at all. I always fly with the default linear ones.
