Hellshade Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Hey Devs, So if Over Flanders Fields P3 is "Between Heaven and Hell", will P4 be annointed with a new name as well? Maybe something like Over Flanders Fields : Air Combat Experience Simulator "ACES" Edition. Hellshade Quote
+Polovski Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 We hope something short and snappy like Over Flanders Fields : Air Combat Experience Simulator "ACES" Edition deluxe turbo GOLD intercooler GTi. Quote
Hellshade Posted June 13, 2009 Author Posted June 13, 2009 As long as you don't charge by the letter, fine. :) Quote
angles1100 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 We hope something short and snappy like Over Flanders Fields : Air Combat Experience Simulator "ACES" Edition deluxe turbo GOLD intercooler GTi. How about "Over Flanders Fields Life the Universe and Everything" that will keep peoples expectations realistic . cheers Quote

I think "Life, the Universe and Everything" might be an understatement. hehe Maybe "OFF: Crosses of Honor" - since all the medals are being redone. Hellshade Quote

Hellshade OFF: The Holy Grail OFF: The Meaning of Life OFF: History of the World Part II OFF: Etc..etc.. etc.. or OFF: The Pink Panther Returns Even better... OFF3: Rise of the Machines Quote
Hellshade Posted June 13, 2009 Author Posted June 13, 2009 OFF: The Holy GrailOFF: The Meaning of Life OFF: History of the World Part II OFF: Etc..etc.. etc.. or OFF: The Pink Panther Returns Even better... OFF3: Rise of the Machines Oops. Didn't know "Crosses of Honor" was a movie. Then definately we should go with something original like OFF: Topgun. Can I have "Maverick & Goose" painted on the side of my two seater please? Quote
+Hasse Wind Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Maybe "OFF: Crosses of Honor" - since all the medals are being redone. Hellshade Taking a quick look at my pilot dossiers, I think "OFF: Crosses of Wood" would be more fitting. Quote
+Dej Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Hmm... if an Italian and/or UK Home Defence campaign is introduced then 'Over Flanders Fields' won't be accurate any longer either. I think 'Flying About, Doing Stuff' is sufficiently generic that anything can be added without having to think of a new title each time. Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) So Long..and thanks for all the fish! OFF- The 20 minuters (or 5 mins in my case) OFF - Between Heaven and Divorce! Edited June 13, 2009 by UK_Widowmaker Quote
+Winder Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Over Flanders Fields - Wooden Crosses Yeah sounds about right! WM Quote
+Polovski Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Mm good ideas I think we need a new competition for the name :). Need a few comedy craft to go with some of those though. Quote
Hellshade Posted June 14, 2009 Author Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) Why don't we up and start a compition, like we did for the naming of Phase III. Only one stipulation, pilot's must still be alive on the release date to collect their prize No confirmations for Dead Pilots . . . Fits right in That's a great idea! *Quickly switches Workshop settings to "pilot never dies"* Yes, absolutely let's go with that. You know maybe the confirmation thing is something we could play up in the title too. Over Flanders Fields : Confirmed Kills Hell, a lot of people die in different flight sims, but only in OFF can you get "shot down" by your own Commanding Officer. It's the only sim I know of that you can't just take a kill confirmation for granted. The quest for confirmed kills and trying to live long enough to get them adds a considerable amount of emotional intensity to the game. I think I was more excited when my first claim got accepted than when I actually made the kill. Kind of interesting when you think about it. It's also something that sets WWI apart from every other air war. By the time WWII happened, gun cameras recorded most kills, confirming the pilots story. It kind of gets right to the heart of how far more difficult things were for the first men to fly and fight. It wasn't just trying to survive and make the kill. You had to get it confirmed or it never officially happened. That reminds me of a quick suggestion for P4. How about when you make Ace with the required number of confirmed kills, you get your name in the next newspaper report on the war as your nations newest Ace. /salute Hellshade Edited June 14, 2009 by Hellshade Quote
TSmoke Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Just curious if P4 might be recieving a new name and from what I've read here, no movie titles. If this is the case why is P3 named after a movie, yes it's a war movie, but what a crappy movie it was. Quote

Hellshade Posted June 14, 2009 Author Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) Over Flanders Fields : The Addiction Continues Since I built my new rig, I changed Regional Air Activity to "High" in the Workshop and I must say it is anything but lonely up there. I've encountered flights of 6 EA two seaters (I got one, but he took out my engine and I had to land in a field), flights of 7 Albatross DVas (I got 5 before I died!) and just this last mission was a base scamble where we were attacked by a mixture of DR 1 and DVas, all with black fuselages (anyone know what german squadron that would be?). At any rate, the sky is just filled with craft and it is more intense than ever. With the Tac display turned off as soon as I see a red blip, I find myself looking around like mad to be sure nobody is on my 6 once the furballs begin. I don't fly DiD because I use warp and unlimited fuel and there are so many planes in the sky I can rarely make it from one waypoint to the next without getting pulled out of warp because somebody is within 8 miles of me. It's not just the number of planes either. It's the variety of types and individual paint jobs that amazes me. I shot down an all black DR 1 that attacked my air field. I imagine he was an Ace but I have labels turned off so I can't be sure. I'll have to try and find out who because he was damn good. /salute Hellshade Edited June 14, 2009 by Hellshade Quote

+Polovski Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 LOL maybe "OFF: Free Sex" might sell well ? Quote
Rickitycrate Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Pol, it might sell well. I had some more nonsense to add but thought better. I am just trying to get my mind around the idea of a P4. Such a happy thought in troubled times. Quote
Hellshade Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 Over Flanders Fields : Huns in the Sun Which would technically be "OFF HitS" Probably make for some cool cover art too. Hellshade Quote
