Yes, I too would prefer a download.

And why they shouldn't coexist?! smile

Thanks VonPaulus! No reason they shouldn't co-exist, just with First Eagles I couldn't even play it anymore after ROF.

Two weeks, not too long now and boy we could be spoiled for WW1! OFF2 and ROF's weapon mods! Who would have thought that 2012 we'd be so lucky smile.

Just my luck, last month as a part of an austerity operation, I downgraded my cable connection from 22 to 3

Don't know your finacial situation but at these Lowered Prices. . . Why Wait ?

Seeing the new prices and knowing what "two weeks" mean, I decided to go for BHaH and HitR a few weeks ago. I've been flying RoF almost daily since May 2011 both SP and MP, I'm a regular squadron member, and I can confirm you I have no problem making both co-exist. I find both have strong points which complement each other. No reason not to enjoy both if you are a WW1 aircraft fan.

I had FE, but just couldn't get into it and the planes felt like they were on rails, even with hard FM, so I hope this will be better.


FE feels like a cartoon sim, OFF P 3felt like WW1.

Like Wodin I fly both OFF P3 and RoF.

RoF FMs/DMs are superb in the a/c
I have used - Camel, Pup, Tripe,
Dolphin, DH2.

But such is the immersion in
OFF P3 that I have literally
jumped with shock and suprise
on more than one occassion and
still do. This has never happened
to me in RoF. (MP may differ but I'm
strictly SP)

Willing suspension of disbelief innit.

I won't say it will be always, but it's common to catch it the way you're referring to it, elephant. Your screenshots capture brilliantly well that haunting aspect.
I guess this was one of the aspects that dragged me unconditionally to OFF.
And I don't know what I can expect in that aspect regarding WOFF... could they have made it more immersive even? Could it really be done?

Thanks for the replies! CFS 3 is already on its way, but I have to wait until the release of OFF2 as money is a little tight.
