26. Fixed: No ambient light flash when firing the Vickers MG on the Strutter and Strutter B at night;
27. Fixed: AI AAA shoots at "Ghost planes" that have been shot down or de-spawned in multiplayer.

I would like to respectfully point out that I and others have posted numerous updates on the RoF forums regarding WOFF, WOFF V2.0 and subsequent patches and they have been generally very politely received. It is my sincere hope that the same courtesy will be reciprocated here in the spirit of mutual respect. If you fly RoF, it might be worth downloading the update and seeing how all the new FMs feel. I didn't see anything about an AI upgrade in this patch (hopefully soon!), but at least the multiplayer aspect of RoF should have a new feel to it. For any who have been following RoF, the FM debates have been epic and sweeping in nature. This patch has been a very, very long time in the coming. Hopefully it soothes some of ruffled feathers of those unhappy with the previous FMs.

Long-long awaited, (well documented) adjustments... yep
To be frank I was not expecting any of them...
The AI revision is desperately needed!
Do you think there is any spark of hope for BoS as well?
I've been a "founder" duh never to install the game, after the course of it's development.

Yep, news of these FM updates and IM inclusion were so unexpected and welcome that I bought all remaining planes and this was my first buy for ROF in two years. Though it was only 4 planes that I missed, so there wasn't much to buy in these years anyway smile

I still think devs took a wrong turn long ago, in my opinion the pinnacle of ROF was version 1.26 which introduced synchronizers, so I doubt I will be interested in ROF as much as before, but at least I hope to get back for some fresh online action with new FMs.

Frankly, when WOFF launched I completely abandoned ROF, even though I have purchased every non-floatplane offered.

ROF can't hold a candle to WOFF's dynamic campaign mode, it's that simple for me.

Thank you for the update Hellshade. Even with these updates, RoF seems like an abandoned old building. WOFF has set the bar so high now I don't think RoF or any other flight sim will catch up.

Nice! I bought the I think it was called ice pack years ago, will be fun to load it back up again and give it a whirl!

Great to see that some things do change, as I can remember back to the old OFF3 days, you got spanked when speaking of RoF or had serious criticism on the OFF3 game. Between RoF/OFF3 was like water/fire, nothing in between.



Think this RoFgame is typical example in putting lots of efforts in the wrong developments. The whole online results/player list when playing a campaign [Rofs career mode], the heat effects around the engine which brings a fuzzy look, gun synchronizing, all minors that cost lots of $$$.
And now reading Jasons postings that combat flysim audience is chanced to a World of warplane public, so no need of a campaign mode.

While for me a decent Campaign mode and early planes are important game aspects. Every weekend I'm struggle around to get the Morane a safe flight to home base. I do enjoy it.

I bought RoF shortly after building this pc in spring 2013, bought the ICE or Iron Cross Edition. Installed it and it could never connect to it's mothership to update itself. So I found OFF P3 and HitR and was good to go!

This summer I finally acquired broadband and hooked it up. WoFF is way better for a single player! I might buy a RoF flyingboat or floatplane just cause they are odd and I like civilian flight sims with them.

WoFF suits me most excellent. I can decide when to update.

Been craving some WWII, didn't care for what I see in the latest sim. Reinstalled old IL2 and ventured into BoB II.

Did update and had a good time doing some photo recon in the usual Sunday evening Vintage Mission on the Syndicate server with some 60 players online in the mission ! smile2 At least before 4 Spad 13s found my DFW CV in between the clouds. My gunner got one of them though !

For WWII still flying the good old IL2 1946 with Hsfx mod. In BOS there is too much snow for me, every time I look at it, I feel the urge for jumping in my P40 in Port Moresby or in a Wildcat on Guadalcanal...

PS : Ankor, while here, thanks for the 1.34 update of your PWCG tool !

I got to fly a little this weekend. Not much but I liked what I tried of the new Flight Models. Kudos to 777 for dropping a comprehensive FM patch. Here's hoping they tackle the much trickier issue of AI next.

That sounds like a good time. I do miss flying online, oh well, at least with satellite broadband I can download large patches, addons, and watch videos.

maybe we could form an online (sunday?) Squad for ROF...call ourselves WOFF_Led etc...
We could even hook up on TS and gab about how good we find WOFF.


make mistakes and learn from them

I'm already J5_Corsaire, but hook on TS is possible. Problem is that wife goes to bed early as she wakes up at 5:30 to go to work ( someone's got to work in this house ! smile2 ) so I can't shout in the mike after 21:30. (GMT+1)

Right, I thanked Ankor for the update of his UI mod and forgot to thank you for the music ! Merry Christmas.
