gaw 5 Posted March 31, 2011 this latest from Bletchley's pretty cool.....installs easily and works flawlessly. You can read about it here... http://combatace.com/topic/63859-19161-mod/ HPW's done some pretty detailed work with damage models, tracers, and so on.......but the thing is that straight out of the box OFF is so good, so great to look at, and fly........ that you'll be lost for life and never have to touch it unless you've an itch to change things a bit (almost universal). In any event, read up on the settings that'll give you the best your computer's got fps wise...I think they're in the stickies......and have a ball...........

TaillyHo 2 Posted March 31, 2011 Not a mod, but the next most essential thing if you don't already have it: TrackIR. And if you order soon, it might arrive about the same time as your BH&H disc! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adger 85 Posted March 31, 2011 Cheers Taillyho track ir is something im striving to purchase,while were on the subject would track ver 4 be fine or should i pay that bit extra for ver 5 thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 31, 2011 I use TrackIR 4 Pro hardware, and updated the software to TIR5 - works fine for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burning Beard 14 Posted March 31, 2011 A lot of us us TR4, works great and you can use the TR5 software. I use the hat clip without a problem, just remember you can't have a light behind you or the pick-up gets confused. Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Javito1986 14 Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) There's a few I recommend: 1) HPW's damage model. He also said he's about to release a new mod for gun accuracy of scouts and observers, might be out by the time you get your OFF CD. 2) Olham's ViewUI file for nicer, less obtrusive labels http://combatace.com...__1#entry480590 3) Louvert's new OFF medals 4) Creaghorn's Sound Tweaks & modifications to tracers and smoke effects. 5) Hmm. What am I missing? Feel like there's more! 6) Survival In The Air settings are highly recommended. Visit the forum dedicated to it for details. 7) I use hat-switch instead of TrackIR. Leaves some blindspots but it's workable. I'm thinking of getting a webcam and experimenting with FreeTrack. TrackIR is definitely, definitely preferable. Also you're going to want a way to use your rudders comfortably. I have them set to the shoulder buttons on the Sidewinder Freestyle (http://www.amazon.co...01590073&sr=8-2) I've flown with for eleven years now. Not that I recommend it to you, it's positively ancient but I'm used to it, have used it since I got my first flight sim! Left & Right rudder are crucial, you need them or you won't be able to turn fast enough to avoid the Hun in the sun before he swats you.

Adger 85 Posted March 31, 2011 has anyone tried creaghorns HDR and BLOOM mod out,ive just unpacked it while i wait for OFF 3 to come thru the post thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 31, 2011 Yes, I am just trying it out. It makes more contrast, but that means, all dark parts get even darker. I'm not yet sure, if I will keep it. See my last posts in "Screenshots", they are made with it - and compare with earlier ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
