Creaghorn 10 Posted January 23, 2011 of course all WIP, but i would like to see what differences compared to p3, have we found out yet. besides the obvious, cows, improved cockpits etc. did anybody notice the raindrops on the windshield? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellshade 110 Posted January 23, 2011 Good eyes Creaghorn. I see them on the Albatros DV but not on the Halb DII. It's all a work in progress though so we shall see when they are finally done baking it. Between the scenery, the cockpits and the new planes (especially the heavy bombers! Hurray!!) this sits atop my "Must Have" list . Hellshade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My mechanics always apply RainEx to my windshield (and goggles) after ever sortie so I never have raindrops accumulating in my field of vision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted January 24, 2011 Are beer glasses allowed in the cockpit? If we should ever meet on a field, cause you forced me down, or I forced you to land, we should be prepared, Widowmaker. You bring some bottles of Old Speckled Hen, and I bring the glasses. Wouldn't that be a nice way to celebrate that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+elephant 36 Posted January 24, 2011 I also did notice the Albatros radiator control lever and mechanism modelled! Do you reccon this will be functional or just eye candy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewie 7 Posted January 24, 2011 Well I'm OK with beer googles. If a find myself downed behind enemy lines, I'll bring one out of my favorites from the Pacific Northwest, Rogue Brewery's Dead Guy Ale. That I have a nephew who works for them doesn't help matters, not one bit.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Yeah, the Albatros has even more "modifications", like valves on the engine, and a better ammo hood/tunnel. Even if the radiator handle won't be functional, the whole kite looks so much better! Gee - it is a great feeling to wait for something so great like OFF is for me! Lewie - does it taste after it's name? (Shudder!) Edited January 24, 2011 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewie 7 Posted January 24, 2011 Lewie - does it taste after it's name? (Shudder!) Well I don't know if you would like it, as I know there is a trend in German beers towards a sort of a clean, hoppy aftertaste. I think it's pretty good, and I do like Heffeweisens that are made locally. I like 'thicker' beers, and I'm assuming you're comparing it to Guinness Stout, which is in my opinion pretty awful in it's aftertaste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewie 7 Posted January 24, 2011 Yeah, the Albatros has even more "modifications", like valves on the engine, and a better ammo hood/tunnel. So did you mod the Albatross for OFF to have working valve pushrod action? When I was doing TargetWare's mod I had done an Gnome Omega with functioning valve gears which was a feat in itself as it was a absolute bastidge to co-ordinsate and plot the XYZ placement, alignment and child-child relationships of all the parts. I also did the valve monkey werks for a Renault 8C which worked out much better because of the 2:1 engine to prop rotation speed. There were some severe limitations to 0.64's animation editing.

Olham 164 Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) I like 'thicker' beers, and I'm assuming you're comparing it to Guinness Stout, which is in my opinion pretty awful in it's aftertaste. Yeah, Guinness is not my taste either - there are other, better "black beers" in England. If you like a rich "thick" taste (and more RPM) you may like this one: "Einbecker Urbock hell" They also make a dark one - "Einbecker Urbock dunkel", but I find it too sweetish. But the "Hell" is a very good one. No, I am not a modder, nor am I in the OFF Team. I make my own skins, and I uploaded some of them for all to use; but apart from that, I am just an average OFF Pilot. Well, maybe addicted rather....

Hellshade 110 Posted January 25, 2011 I've been able to faithfully model my plane wreckage across the OFF terrain on multiple occasions. Does that count? Hellshade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lewie 7 Posted January 25, 2011 I've been able to faithfully model my plane wreckage across the OFF terrain on multiple occasions. Does that count? Hellshade Sure, why not? Other WWI Combat sim OT Zone:.. I mean my favorite part of FS-WWI is to man the twin Vickers in the back of the Thornycroft AA truck and decorate 'Vaulx' airfield with crashed remains of strafing Albatrosses. I'm probably quite a bit better than I would be in reality, but it's fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted January 25, 2011 Shooting Albatros??? My beloved bird???!!! Raaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! Okay, were is my notebook... - "Vaux airfield; Thornycroft truck!" ... I have noted that! Now I need photographs... I'll be there - some day I will come over there with the elite of Jasta 5! And they will all know by then, how a Thornycroft truck is looking!!!

Wodin 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Just had another close up look of those screenies...the more I look the more I like....I hope we have abit more animation going on within the cocpit...also abit of movement going on within the Bus, so you feel like your a separate entity to the plane ( not sure the technical word for it but FE and RoF do it well) If First Eagles can do it I'm sure OFF phase 4 could....this is also an area where RoF shines....really makes you feel you sat IN a plane.

You know what, it's purely defensive, when the Albatrosses arrive the first thing they shoot at is me, and they keep on trying to shoot me! Well that and the balloon winch, lookout tower and the AEC bus. (I might have a mod come along and put the kybosh on my posting FS-WWI images in an OFF topic forum. ..) You'll have to send your own Schlasta CL types of planes if you want photo's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted January 25, 2011 Well, a pic of you on the truck wouldn't harm anyone. And if they attacked you first, then I understand your reactions - always makes me upset, when someone shoots at me! We don't have any SchlaSta yet, although we have the Hannover for a start. Is that FS WW1 the Flight Simulator (Microsoft) you are talking about? Come on, show a pic or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for the darkness of the images, it's an early dawn raid. cheers, and apologies to the mods if it seems like I'm posting in the wrong forum.
