Hasse Wind 46 Posted March 22, 2009 Hello everybody! A couple of months ago I was browsing the web casually when I came across something called Over Flanders Fields. How you managed to hide this mod from me all these years is a mystery - I guess I wasn't searching hard enough for new WW1 simulators. It didn't take long for me make the jump and purchase OFF... it has turned out to be one the best decisions I've ever made when getting new computer games! I thought Red Baron 3d was good, but OFF is something absolutely wonderful compared to any other flight sim out there. Price is a little steep for us living in the EU, but it's really nothing compared to the many hours of enjoyment I've already had with this masterpiece. If somebody is wondering whether it's really worth it, I say YES, IT IS! :) I decided to register here after my longest lasting pilot thus far was killed a couple of hours ago. A lieutenant flying in RFC 54 Squadron (Pups) early 1917. He had over 20 flying hours and 7 confirmed kills. No other pilot of mine has lasted this long so far, but I was being extra careful with him and never fought unless the odds were favourable. Well, it so happened that my flight of 4 Pups was on a routine patrol over the front a couple of miles east of Arras on April 4, 1917. Flying at over 6000 feet, I noticed the Hun AA guns were paying us some attention. No big deal, I thought - they never hit anything with those peashooters, not at this height anyway. And then KA-BOOM! A shell directly hit my Pup and blew it into thousand burning pieces! F***! I mean, there's really not much you can do in that situation. I'm still quite angry at the gods of war. But it was very fun while it lasted. I'm just starting a new career as a German Leutnant in Jasta 10, early 1918 with Pfalz D.III's. Let's see how long it takes for him to die... :) Thank you for a great game! If you're going to improve OFF some more in the future, it'd be great to have some more planes for some countries. For example the French don't have too many planes, especially in the early war. And I'd love to see some newer Nieuports for late war American aero squadrons.
