About free copies, look back into history on this site to see the results of that. I am not going to say more about that.
I'm curious.. what happened? I guess it was before my time.

I do have a question about multiplayer. Will RF7.5 and RF8 users be able to fly together since it's the same engine ? I realize RF7.5 users might not be able to render the higher triangle count aircraft but they could just show a blue default like there is now when you don't have the other players model.
If the past is anything to go on only the same version can be on multi-player in the same session. This is the way its always been.
I think that when all is said and done, most will be happy. Some not.
I think that it is important to note, just because you can run RF7.5 and RF8, you will not necessarily be able to use Oculus Rift and Vive for a VR experience without better hardware. I can see the writing on the wall, I expect VR in RF-X.
Lots of heated responses. I can see this as two paths. 1) lower hardware level, and 2) extreme hardware level. You choose your level.
Past experience would say that two versions of the software cannot talk to one another in multiplayer. That is not official, but through RF-G4, 5, 6 & RF-7 that has been the case.
Also what about all the wonderful custom planes and fields, will I be able to import those?
Technoid, since the import engine format is different, do you think you will have to re-import your planes and then export them to the swaps as RF8 format? I am thinking that this might be a possibility. I guess that you did not waste your time working with RF-X import after all.
My personal flying fields live on for another day.
I'm going to rapid-fire answer a few questions before heading out for the day:
As a reminder, an RF-X update is coming sometime after RF8's release.
Expansion Packs, Mega Packs, and swap pages content is fully supported.
As with previous major versions of the product, multiplayer sessions will not mix.
Take care everyone!
