Apples and Oranges guys.
Warbirds had the RPS, it also had 2$ per hour.
So you'd wait for that part of the month when your fav ride appeared. Fly like crazy for a few days.
Then when the next uber ride appeared you'd give it up. Go fly H2H or do something else till your part of the month rolled around again.
Since most of us were on limited budgets it didn't work that bad. Old hands who were good in 3 or 4 planes could actually fly most of the month if they could afford the bill.
Now AH comes into the picture, flat rate priceing, no more 2$ a month.
And guess what, no more RPS.
Why? Because anything that takes choices away from customers long term = less customers.
Even after WB matched AH price point, it was RPS vs anyplane anytime you wanted.
Who's still flying WB? And look at all the people in AH.
They all voted with their feet folks.
We will never see a true RPS in AH, why would you possibly want to go back to those horrid days.
Even assuming you could get any 10 people to agree on release dates for each Aircraft, which they never would. Your still denying CHOICE from paying customers.
Yes we tolerated it in WB, until someone showed us a better way.
At which point we dumped it like a bad habit.
If your still dreaming about RPS your stuck in the past.
Get over it.
Those days are gone, your not going to see 109's ruling the skys with no P51's to chase them down.
It just is NOT going to happen.
