Something not quite right here...Dagger asked for people's opinions on RoF as he is doing a review...I would of thought that it was directed at customers..I feel that Jason should have stayed out of this thread to be honest....it was a fact finding mission by Dagger not a Q & A for 777. I think maybe Jason should just chill out a little not feel that he has to defend his game constantly...people will either like it or not and nothing Jason could say will change that. I bought the game a couple of months ago and have a few extra planes....I also feel that it looks superb...I love the DM but sometimes it looks like the wings are made from tin also I've seen photos of planes from WW1 that had hit the deck from a great height and there is just a mangled mess, nothing like the way the planes hit the dirt in RoF, get that sorted and have the flames spread over the plane and for the flames to destroy the fabric then you have a ground breaking DM! It flies very well which is another of it's strong points. However it's not a full game. If you don't fly multi player I can't see anyone spending hours playing it. I dip in and out for the odd flight whilst I concentrate on OFF which as a WW1 experience is far ahead of RoF. The graphics don't mean squat in the end when your fully immersed with your campaign pilot. The butterflies once you get a pilot who has won a couple of medals and has a fair few kills and beats the 17 hour mark just can't be beaten. I do see RoF as a work in progress. I look forward to the new career mode. I would like to see an overhaul of the terrain and clouds they just don't look right at all. Fly OFF when it's overcast with those massive clouds and dark threatening sky and it's so full of Drama.Those clouds dwarf you and your Bus so you feel your in a massive world. Give me the Planes from RoF and everything else from OFF....that will do me.

elephant strange you should get crashes...I have narrowed it down to the D3D settings...It has to be one of the aircraft D3D settings...so why not just change the aircraft D3D settings and see how it goes? You can turn the buffers back on. Blue screen? Your PC isn't overheating is it? Is it overclocked? Not sure how settings in a game can give you blue screen crash when not playing it....

There is a German campaign...says so on Olegs forum when they gave out details... I thought the landscape looked like a watercolour...however I'm sure it will be a good sim with many expansion and big old patch's with extra content... I will buy at some point.

I'm going to test it out later see what was causing it...I reckon it will be one of the D3D settings... Turned buffers back on and still have damage so it must be the D3D settings.

Hurrah...worked for me aswell...just played and it's like a whole new game...not only loads of damage that I'm not used to but seems the planes drop out the sky better aswell. Thanks Olham...

Elephant are you saying those settings fixed the problem? I shall go try them.

I also imagine that if it really did keep track of your wingmen during the mission the death rate would exceed even WW1 standards...thats another reason why I think the game doesn't.

Now you've been and looked...just check see if you get bullet holes anymore...do you have HitR? I have not sure if thats the problem.

DOn't think so as low res looks like low res...no where near the quality of screenhots you have or any others....I looked at hi res and there is no difference between my hi res and normal res...so it's not swapping to normal res...

Just tried playing on low res and I saw bullet holes that I'm not getting on normal.

The sound tweak never worked properly for me in the MODS folder using JGSE... you have to manually add it... @Creaghorn I'm using the latest...it was happening before I used it...also thanks for your hdr mod...I had to alter it a little to brighten things up a touch but it makes a difference.

Whats a contradiction? I see no contradiction in anyway at all....I never said it wouldn't be improved and then said it would...your not making sense old chap.

Checked your amazing pics mate...superb work...and yes noticed bullet holes in the Spad and Neuip that I never see....

Yeah tried low res then normal........strange....I think when my new Ace dies I will do a clean reinstall with a slightly different folder set up...will go F:\OFF\OBD.......instead of F:\OBD....see if it happens then. I do use HerWas mod updated to the lates but I have the problem even if it's not installed..and apparently this mod should show even more damage....just takes longer to cause major malfunctions...

It mght be because we both set the Hi Res and dropped back down...I see no bullet holes full stop on any kite and I've put in a good 40 hours the last couple of weeks.... ATI 4870 1 gig...I have AA x8 narrow tent, enable adaptive AA performance, AF x16, Mipmap quality....Ive tried other settings and no difference... I must say thought the Planes look damn good and I wouldn't be suprised it hasn't gone back to the normal settings...the SE5a is stunning... I was going to say I might just be remembering Phase 2 but after that screenshot obviously not. Aircraft 5 terrain 4 Scenery 4 Effects 5 Clouds 1 I have FPS between 56 and 36 Might be a bug...

sorry sixth...my sith pilot is tinkering with his SE5a....think it's nearly ready for inter galactic flight

Well this is my sith pilot over the last couple of weeks that has nearly hit the 17 hour mark...all have gone down just short.

Stop it now....oh the waiting....

I want to take the AlbDII and ALBdIIl flight characteristics but use the ALBIII model that came with FE2...I tried messing around with data files and I managed to get the cockpit and postion the pilot in the right place however when sat in the plane you can only see the guns and cockpit and the outside view the plane is all black....so is it possible and if so what should I do? Thanks

OK thanks I will have a shot at that later.

Also if you shoot any planes down after the goals failed messgae you can't claim....as you have no wingmen left...your best just going home once that comes up...

Is there anyway to increase the LOD of planes? Thanks

I had my first promotion ever...and I tried to do my mission goals...was 12 missions in.

Best series made on WW1.

Looks like a skin to SC to me....will need to see rviews...best WW! strategy game I've played is WW1 Gold.
