RAF_Louvert 101 Posted December 23, 2010 . Welcome to the OFF fourms and to the virtual skies of HiTR, Kiteman. It is an outstanding WWI combat flight sim. BTW, new guys buy the drinks, and in honour of the season I'll have an eggnog. Cheers! Lou . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hasse Wind 46 Posted December 23, 2010 Yes, welcome! It's good to see so many new faces here (that means more free drinks for us old-timers). OFF is indeed the best WW1 flight sim there is currently. Have fun with P3 - I've had it for almost two years, I fly missions regularly and I still haven't seen and done everything. There are so many different planes and units to try that P3 will keep us busy for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ratatat 0 Posted December 31, 2010 Greetings Kiteman! You'll discover OFF is an outstanding game that also enjoys a very friendly forum. Since the eggnog is out I'll have mine with a splash of rum, thank you, hold the 'nog. Bottoms up! Ratatat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellshade 110 Posted December 31, 2010 Yesterday i just got the HITR expansion. Overall iam very impressed, but not so in getting shot down repeatedly Cheers Kiteman Those little bastards on the other side seem awfully serious about winning the war, don't they? New Guy Advice: Get close before you open fire. Wait to shoot until the target is going to be stationary in your gunsite for at least 3 seconds so you can get a good solid burst in. Never fire more than a 3 second burst or your guns might jam. Check your 6 every few seconds once combat starts. And oh yes, and don't be suprised if your Commanding Officer doesn't approve alot of your claims. They are notoriously stingy about that sort of thing.

Javito1986 14 Posted December 31, 2010 The trick to getting in REAL close is to know when to break away at the last possible second to avoid a collision. This is best learned by leaving your guns at home and ramming the Huns until you get the idea, Pyotr Nesterov style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest British_eh Posted January 2, 2011 Hi there KM, There are some great guys that can help yo out with many of the games facets. If you go to the main page of Subforums, when you log on, you will find several sub-topics that have a plethora of information available. General Knowledge and OFF - Survival In the Air Series has Pilot Primer PDF's for download on a number of the aircraft in OFF. Also you may wish to check out how to change the realism with the RSS-SIA Guides on Workshop settings. Cheers, British_eh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
