SGCSG1 0 Posted June 29, 2009 I continue to play OFF:BH&H when I have the time and this sim just amazes me. Who ever thought we could get a WW1 sim with this level of quality from a conversion of an old MS game? The people who put this together are simply wizards. And the polish on this thing is amazing, the music, the artwork. It's a fantastic sim. Thanks to all who've contributed to it. (And thanks to combatace for giving us such a nice home for this forum).

Olham 164 Posted June 29, 2009 I don't know, if I EVER mentioned it: this sim is absolutely phantastic, and fullfilled a dream from the days of youth, I had never dared to dream - that I would ever fly an Albatros! Thank you devs!!! SGCSG1 - what the hell is this name? Impossible to remember or write (sorry). How long are you "over Flanders fields" already? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hellshade 110 Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) I couldn't agree more. I just had two absolutely AMAZING combat experiences. The first was with my patrol of trusty SE5as that ran afoul of a far larger flight of Fokker DR 1s out over the water. There had to be 20 planes in the sky in this incredible furball! I watched friends and foe alike plummet into the ocean. Wings were shredded, engines and fuselages set fire. Others smoked and spiraled in. Death screams could be heard as men were butchered in the skies with lead ripping through their bodies. The dogfight felt like it lasted forever, but when it was done, the elite RFC 74 squadron won the day though none went home undamaged if they went home at all. The huns took a terrible toll on us. The next mission was no better for our ranks. Escorting bombers over a target, a combination of Fokker Dr 1s (from the same squadron we had just tangled with the day before) and Albatross DVas jumped us. Planes were everywhere! I spent as much time trying to avoid mid air collisions as I did attempting to get a fix on our bosche adversaries. Everwhere I looked, above, below and on every side, men fought furiously for their country and their lives. There must have been 20 planes to start with, but I am sure others of both sides joined in to extend the mayhem and carnage for a good 10 minutes or more! That is a long time to be fighting for your life non-stop. I couldn't tell you how many planes were involved in all, but my guns had run dry by the time it was over. I and 2 squadron mates limped back to base with our planes in tatters and a long list of claims that will almost certainly be eventually denied by that damn CO. If you haven't set Regional Air Activity to "Heavy", go for it. I doubt I'll live more than a couple of missions as my luck isn't that good. But it is the most intense air combat I have ever experienced. This game rocks. Hellshade Edited June 29, 2009 by Hellshade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted June 29, 2009 It's as much the people on the forum that make the sim so special for me!...the whole, rounded experience of OFF, from the Sim itself, the aircraft, the atmosphere...the fact you can skin, the work being done on Multiplayer...the XDP work done by the community....I could go on and on!

Check Six 2 Posted June 29, 2009 As an amateur historian, I find that the historical accuracy of this sim is also fantastic. Right down to the weather conditions on any given day, the aces in your squadron that you can fly with (or those you can fly against), the accurate aircraft skins, squadron logos/badges, type of aircraft available and their FM's...shall I go on? OUTSTANDING work gentlemen! At the moment, I'm still in the learning process as a rookie pilot (because I don't seem to live for very long in these hostile skies and these fragile craft), but I'm thoroughly enjoying being able to fly (almost) any craft I want, against any enemy in any numbers and in any theatre in Campaign mode, or to fly in Quick Combat. Brilliant! Just bloody brillaint. Take a bow guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
