Title: 777 Studios : The New Owner of the Rise of Flight franchise!
Post by: TX-Gunslinger on June 20, 2010, 04:54:58 pm
I started to see posts yesterday indicating that Jason is the new owner of the ROF franchise, with neoqb retained as developers.

As I followed the threads, I found it was all true:

I see more developmental dollars ahead, spin-offs using the ROF engine and such.  We've worked with Jason over the life of the sim, flown with him on comms and enjoyed our interaction.

I think this is a great thing ;)

Congratulations Jason - Look forward to hearing from you soon!

Heh - hope he doesn't find you here and shoot you up  ;)

They say there are no changes to the team.....

We will see, Dr. Gozr - we will see....

It would be nice to see a new 1955-1960's sim show up.  I might could get into jets then ...  men's jets.

Like B-58 Hustler, big frickin bombs - Supersonic - afterburner in a bomber.... with H-bombs of course, and a big map of the former Warsaw Pact. 

F-100/101/102/104/105 - Su7/9/11 - Mig 21/19/15 - Hawker Hunter - BE/BAC Lightening - A5 Vigilante - A4 Skyhawk - Skyraider - F8 Crusader...Super Mystere B2-Fiat G.91-Saab J-32 Lansen & J-29 Tunnan

I got one word for ya "speed"...

S!

I think it has changed hands before, starting off as K.o.t.S. I don't foresee getting another flight simulator until S.o.W. Biplanes are it for now.
