FlyingNutcase Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Hi Folks, So the only stupid question is the one that's not asked? Quite often I have something that I'd like to ask about but am a little *bashful* about asking because it really might be a "stupid" question. But what the heck, we don't learn anything by not asking so may I dedicate this thread to all the questions out there that are on the tips of tongues but not being asked and which are related in some way to BOS. Let me kick this off: "What search does one do to find out how many founders (premium pre-orderers) there are?"
Bearcat Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 There is none.. You can count in the founders thread .. but that might not be accurate... Good to see ya here FNC..
JGzbV_Manni Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 klick on members - more search options - scroll down to the drop down menus - first drop down menu 1st founder group = standard edition 2nd founder group = premium edition count the pages * 20 1
Bearcat Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Wow!! I did not know that .. Thanks for the heads up Manni! You can also set the number per page up to 60.. so according to this as of now there are 2000 premium founders and 1018 standard founders ... very nice.
FlatSpinMan Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Ahh! I found the 'founders' bit, but felt silly as I couldn't find any way to see how many there were. Good thread already. 1
Rjel Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Taking a quick peek at the founders list I thought it was interesting how many have never posted but yet have preordered. It makes me wonder how many others might be out there waiting in the bushes so to speak. While many simmers are helpful and friendly, I think we can be our own worst enemies when it comes to attracting new folks. Not just this forum, as I think it's got a nice atmosphere, but damn near any of them I've been around in the last 15 years or so. Imagine the new blood we could attract if at times it didn't seem a little intimidating getting started.
ZONEOUT Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 This is a great forum, very helpful. thank you all for your help.
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 This forum is well moderated and the hijinks are not tolerated for the most part. I think this is one of (if not the) most polite forums out there. Odd, in fact, considering we are about to embark on the most violent air battles in history very shortly now.
Fifi Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 I have 2 stupid questions...(maybe not that stupid in fact ): - Will FlightFX together with SweetFX (as in ROF) be avalaible for BOS? I'm expecting same (or even better) eye candy as ROF, because it sounds like the same graphic engine (improved?), but FlightFX has greatly enhanced my ROF screen... - Can we expect same clouds rendering as ROF? Thanks for reply!
FlyingNutcase Posted September 20, 2013 Author Posted September 20, 2013 I have another "stupid" question about the forum. After making a post, you can edit it, but I've just gone back to edit a post I made earlier today and there doesn't seem to be an Edit option. If there's a time-lock, how long it is?

FlatSpinMan Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Yes. Not sure why that is. Stops people rewriting history of their controversial posts, I suppose. Anyway, it's a 'feature'.
SplashFriday Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Well, ultimately, I imagine such a feature helps keep the chronology of a thread a bit easier to follow after accumulating multiple pages; especially for those starting at page one long thereafter.
Cybermat47 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Yes. Not sure why that is. Stops people rewriting history of their controversial posts, I suppose. Anyway, it's a 'feature'. I don't really like it. Back on Subsim, if somebody made a rude post, they could go back and edit it in order to redeem themselves.

Thanks for reply! Hi Fifi, In a previous post Jason said he had applied SweetFX to BoS.
Fifi Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Hi Fifi, In a previous post Jason said he had applied SweetFX to BoS. Ha, thanks Arthur...that's good news And clouds? any insight of devs? (clouds are very important part of flight sim!) Edited September 23, 2013 by Fifi
71st_AH_Mastiff Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 as far as I know there is clouds in BOS there the same clouds you see in ROF.
Fifi Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 as far as I know there is clouds in BOS there the same clouds you see in ROF. That's cool then. ROF clouds are pretty well made. And i guess BOS AI will not see through, as it is actually in ROF!
Rigsby Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Here is my question. I was told I would get some type of badge or something in the forums when I ordered the premium edition, so where is it? I see everyone has got a Gold bar and the name Founder, so where is mine since I purchased the game?

Pupo Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Hi Fifi, In a previous post Jason said he had applied SweetFX to BoS. and you should be able to apply sweet FX to pretty much any game/full screen app,
Zoltann Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Hi all, Decided to come out of the shadows... So I have one too. I tried to convince a friend to pre-order. He was uncertain to do so, as it might mean he would get the game on Steam. Does anybody know if a CD version will be released later on, and if the pre-order and final release versions will be Steam free? Cheers, Zol.

Of what i understood, game release will not be on Steam (at first)
Zoltann Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 ...Like ROF started. That would be good enough. Thanks Fifi.
