From another forum:

"Unfortunately, I've had to delete 2 topics over the past 24hrs, that were meant in good nature (well one was) but should have been thought through before posting.

One was offering purcahse of an obviously pirated or copied version of the movie "The Red Baron", the other was an open invite/solicitaion to Beta test the new RoF version.

.
.
.

As far as the RoF Beta testing... I know it was offered with all of the best intentions, but you are all paying or possibly paying customers for our software. It is in our right not to allow solicitaion of other WWI Flight Combat games on our site, especially of a competetive nature. There are a TON of non-biased Flight Sim forums that material of that nature can be posted. But this being a specific OFF Fan/customer/community based forum, it doesn't belong here. "

Edit: Ummm,just saw the RoF Blog Beta invite.

BB, it's still good to know you can find that biased forum when you're looking for one. duh

Yeah, I guess I understand why they closed the topic, since OFF went payware and it's basically free advertising for a competitor. Shame it has to be like that, but I guess that's the nature of competition. But obviously a lot of people who have already purchased OFF are interested in also purchasing RoF! So of course we welcome them to chat in this forum smile

But aside from that, there seems to be a split between OFF people who welcome RoF and those who are adamantly against it. Those kinds of threads have spiraled out of control in the past, so it makes sense to close them early, especially if they're off topic.

Well yeah FlyR, but if it was done by the RoF team, which it now appears the case, it should have been posted on the "WWI Flight Sim Discussion" Forum at CombatAce, not the "OFF" Forum at the same site.

Actually it should have been posted here too.

This is all very frustrating.

First we hear a release date 1stQ 2009 (actually it was end 2008 first).

Then an April 2009 date by the Russian publishers.

Then ViKS stated here on another thread taht release date is out of their hands and with the publishers (implying IMO that the final build was complete).

Now this ...

VikS, whats the story?

We're getting closer! VikS is just saying that it's out of their hands as developers, which doesn't necessarily mean it's been pushed back or anything.

Closed beta just starting does sound kind of ominous in terms of an April release date though.

For a laugh, remember to check out the first reply on the "WWI Sim announced" sticky, where this was said: "PS Planned release date is the end of 2006" smile smile

VikS, with the beta invite, suggest you/the team repost at CombatAce on the WWI Flight Sim Discussion forum if Neoqb want to get more visibilty or a wider audience. That forum is there for that reason. Suggest you email MK2, the site owner as well, on more general matters.

Simply post info on invitation in this subforum http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showforum=46
Not the OFF one.
There ain't much RoF-related activity at CA so it has no special subforum (yet).

I have to agree with Frey, there aren't many fans of RoF over at CA, especially in the OFF side of the board. Even Mk2 is not keen, according to a post he made in the IL2 SimHQ room.

Link?

From what I have read, MK2 is firstly interested in expanding CombatAce beyond its historical staple - Thirdwire Games, and secondly is very much interested in RoF. I know he had some concerns, whether it would be ever be released (we all shared that concern), and whether it had a good Single Play game. Both of these look like being last months "concerns".

Not implying that RoF will necessarily be a hit over at CombatAce, but I don't agree there wouldn't be interest in that community, nor that CombatAce would not be interested in creating a forum either.

Looks like you saw the thread I mean then.
http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2678834/Re_Are_you_ready_for_World_War.html#Post2678834
Didn't sound to enthusiastic to me.

Ignore my comments in that thread they weren't directed at Mk2, more at the amount posts at that time, that ran down RoF only to advertise OFF at the tail end.
I know MK2 is a big supporter of flight simming, both with his time and his money, so don't think I'm running him down or CombatAce.
I do visit there occasionally, especially for FE stuff. But this thread is about the RoF beta and finding people to beta test it. (not that there will be a shortage). RoF is not a hot topic at CA so i can't see the point in advertising RoF beta testing there.
