rhen 0 Posted October 20, 2011 Hello, Was wondering how to start with OFF. Have cfs3 and OFF version 1.00. Have RB3D also but not good on my comp. Now, after working on Train Sim for years, I rediscovered the old OFF again and tried to run it. It took me a few hours to get into the air and had some fun. Now, is the old version I have still good, do I need the updates that are available or should I start new with the latest, or which version of OFF ?. And if that is so, which one is needed now. What to do with v1.00 ? Chuck it ? Thanks for any info on this , Ted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
33LIMA 972 Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Others will know for sure, and you could always try applying the OFF Phase 3 patches to P1 and see what happens - but I'd be really amazed if they didn't either just fail to apply or if they did, just kill Phase 1, stone dead - they are just so different eg the new OFF Manager game/campaign interface. I have OFF Phase 2, but even that is a beta compared to Phase 3. I would strongly recommend doing what I did, and buying OFF Phase 3 rather than tinkering about with Phase 1, even if you have a decent enough system to run the free-to-play version of Rise of Flight (as supplied on disc with this month's PC Pilot, incidentally); excellent tho RoF is, OFF Phase 3 has things now that will take RoF many months, probably. You could wait for OFF Phase 4 but no-one knows how long that will be, and life is short... :) Edited October 21, 2011 by 33LIMA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhen 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Thank you for the reply. And I figured it was something like you said. So I bought the DVD but it might be a while in coming. In the meantime I will try to see if the patch works on v.1 or not. Is BHaH phase 3 or what? Oh well, I'll just have to see. Thanks again, Ted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FWIW when you get it, take the time to find out which Workshop settings suit you best, especially those for all the different gun settings, thay can make a big difference. Easier settings are probably best to start with and I would avoid playing either dead is dead or letting the game do a die roll to decide if you die, and just ticking 'pilot never dies' and deciding for yourself if you want to take the hit. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Polovski 460 Posted October 27, 2011 Just a point, never try to install patches for Phase 3 (Between Heaven and Hell) on an older version - if it installs at all it will definitely break! It may also leave you with problems removing etc. Older Phases 1 & 2 are totally different code. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
