+Winder 32 Posted November 1, 2009 Guys, The first addon pack for OFF will be quite extensive and will include: 1) Nieuport N28 2) Nieuport N24 (Brit and French versions) 3) Nieuport N24 Bis (Brit and French Versions) 4) Nieuport N17 Bis 5) Fokker EV 6) Airco DH5 7) Extra squads and amended squads to take the above craft into account for full campaign immersion for all craft - American squads are a key point! 8) Comprehensive skin set for the above craft for full immersion in the campaigns 9) Personalised skin functionality - player can now fly with his own unique custom skin. 10) Actual Wind Buffeting effect as you fly - gets worse with the weather conditions (configurable as off or on in workshops) 11) Wind noise in every craft - speed dependent - increases with speed 12) Revised Railyards - all are now co-incident with railway tracks and with switchbacks and revised textures 13) Overhauled hi res airfield textures and revised airfield tree models 14) Revised forest and woods layouts 15) Revised autogen tree models (only when set to high terrain detail) 16) Improved mobile ground unit deployment in theater 17) Manager main menu picture now changes according to players pilot nationality. And many minor tweaks. Best WM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red-Dog 3 Posted November 1, 2009 Nice one chaps, can't wait for this. THANKS for your ongoing support, thats what makes this sim so special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rugbyfan1972 1 Posted November 1, 2009 This sounds great, although I would have preferred more planes that are not already in the sim to fill in the gaps in the present squadrons (the FE8 springs to mind). Hopefully the above issue will be fixed in the later addons. Also when is it being released? Thanks Rugbyfan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully the above issue will be fixed in the later addons. Also when is it being released? Thanks Rugbyfan Hi, All of the craft do fill gaps in squads - many of these craft are already in the squads but either not available or have placeholders. The aim of all craft addon packs is to fill gaps in squads and yes the FE8 is also one but we can only make so many craft at a time as there are only two modelers in OBD..... Pol and I. Pol made the Fokker EV and DH5 and I made the Noops. We will continue to fill squad gaps as we go and we are also looking at 2 seaters for the next addon. Time for release of Addon #1? Well I hope that it will be for Xmas... BUT no date and no promises. WM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I hope that it will be for Xmas... BUT no date and no promises. WM Now Winder ya see..., That's why you guys at OBD are never going to be big time. Any software developer worth a tinker's damn knows that the answer to "when is it going to be available" is 2 weeks ! Seriously though the planes look good and the other features should a make OFF even better. I do have one question though, In the pictures of the N24 it seems to have the rounded fuse just like the N24 bis. Shouldn't the N24 have the flat sided fuse like the N17?

Scott "Hoghead" Dean No, it's correct. The N24 had a round fuse. All the Bis versions were like cross-overs of the different Noop variations between the N17 and N24 types.
