In first campaign, odd things happening.

Recommended Posts

S! all. I just received my copy of OFF two days ago and it has been great so far. Reminds me alot of Red Baron, a game I had tons of fun flying solo and doing the online "wars".

 

I just flew my 5th mission as a Sgt in the 28th RFC on the Ypres front in 1917. I shot down two Pfalz. observation planes halfway to my recon target, and two Alb. DV from Jasta 6 about 3/4 of the way to target. I was stoked having 4 kills logged in one mission, but the rear gunner on the second Pfalz did a number on my control surfaces. I lost both wingmen and was doing the 19 minute recon solo.

 

About 10 minutes into the 19 required I was cruising at about 9500ft nursing my damaged crate which needed full right rudder to fly straight. I was thinking "hey this campaign is pretty easy so far". Out of nowhere I got absolutely PEPPERED by two Alb DV right on my 6. While concentrating on keeping the crate flying to waypoints I committed the fatal error of becoming complacent and Jasta 6 got their revenge.

 

It got weird though, I entered a flat spin and was seeing my doom and cursing the fact that I would lose this pilot with his 4 unclaimed kills in 1 mission when a purple message stated "goals complete" and I was put back into the debrief. It congratulated me on my 4 claims and put me back to enter another mission. In the replay when I got jumped it said my plane was unflyable over Saint Quentin and the mission ended.

 

Was this save a bug or something in the settings for my campaign? I feel like I am cheating continuing on with this pilot in a DiD campaign. It never said I crashed, nothing just ended the mission. Please advise if this is common or something odd? Thanks. S!

Your craft was so damaged that the game exited - its up to you if you decide to continue with that pilot - we are looking at this auto exit scenario...
