Yup, that's where I checked in the first place and found only one low-res archive. Can't say anything about OFF forum, because I never got registered there and the whole process seems rather complicated. And that limits me to viewing only a couple of posts a day, no links and no search.

It might sound weird, but I decided to print some maps of the areas we're fighting in. So I went to main OFF website and found that only two relatively low-les maps are avaliable. The link to 4 more detailed maps leads to the same archive. Luckily, hi-res vesions of the two british maps were found here http://www.polovski.com/offdownload.htm So, does anyone have hi-res versions of the other four? At least German maps, 'cause I mainly fly from their fields and exhaust myself with E.III or D.II. Maybe not exactly those - any maps of that period, suitable for navigation i.e. with roads, rivers, cities, maybe elevation clearly marked. I googled, but what I found is hardly suitable for nav use.

I just visited their website yesterday and discovered the list of things they are doing for Phase3. Looks great

Try this link. Maybe it'll help with XP issues. RB3D crashes VERY often on my PC... even with compartibility settings, fixes and various community updates such as Hell's Angels(link) for example. But I got it to run with cool 3dfx graphics (much better that Software or Direct3D that we have to use now) using this glide wrapper http://dege.freeweb.hu/ Just unrar the archive to game's folder and in game chose Glide as renderer.

FS WW1 (seen ArgonV signature) is a total conversion for Fighter Squadron: Screamin' Demons Over Europe sim

This drawing shows a different stick but gives no other detail on cockpit http://airwar.ru/other/draw/moskamb.html I'd say most pictures I see on various sites are from here http://airwar.ru/enc/fww1/mb.html#camo

I meant leaning to MG sight like it's done for many planes. Still can't bring myself to aim with the engine

Tested E.II and Halb. Nice pits! Thanks. But just as before I miss gunsight view on Halb. Is it supposed to be this way?

Can't help with XL... And I doubt anyone, devs included, can do much about EE2 My EECH 1.9 (with community patch and combined install with EEAH) runs perfectly with X-52Pro - that's exactly the game that can use up all it's buttons . It also works fine with TrackIR. And it can run at 1280*1024.

Hmmm.... Moska's armament seems to be a bit different. I wonder what position one had to take to fire accurately. They also had plans for arming it with forward-firing Colt MG on the right side. To prevent it from shooting the prop off, they designed a system that would pop an armour plate out of the hood when prop blade was passing line of fire and hide the plate back it when the blade was gone.

Thanks, it worked fine. That's funny - I didn't have WWII planes, menu background was WWI - only nations were broken. So, dexxa, I suppose, the only thing you might need with the iso is the nations pack.

I installed FSWWI standalone pack. Strange... Any way to fix it?

IlyaV, IlyaV(+Pilot, Copilot, Gunner, Gunner2, Dmg, Dmg2), loadout, note , textures folder. Maybe it has something to do with nations? I seem to have WWII nations like Soviet Union listed in menus. Germany, Italy, France, USA look right, but there's a long list of planeless countries.

My flight of Camels was on generated intercept mission and we had to take on a bunch of loaded Albs escorted by Dr.I Our arrival scared Albatroses so much their whole flight landed at once. Don't know, whether they tried to take off later or not, because Dreideckers torn us apart. It happened only once but apparently this piece of code is still in there.

It works! Grreat. Now I'll try to find a way to exterminate 27 angry, sober and moderately skilled riflemen. Weird thing is that AI planes now start this mission going up and down... Is Ilya Muromets flyable? Or at least shootable? It doesn't show up in plane list (despite being in aircraft folder) and I get CTD trying to load ready missions that seem to contain it.

I came across a special DVD .iso floating around the web which makes installation quite simple. You don't even have to install SDOE first. Got some question though: When I make a new mission (strafing, for B.E.2c) my squadron either starts with engines stopped mid-air or with engines running but the plane falls apart shortly after mission begins. Tried different altitude/speed settings but could figure out the reason... Is there a way to control gunners? Like maknig pistol hand change target, or forcing gunners to shoot at ground objects?

WOW! I just tried FSWW1 for the first time. I like OFF:P2 for hardcore campaign, FE:EP1 for angry AI, RB3D+mods for creaky planes. And I'm gonna love FSWW1 for planes rarely seen elswhere, for Foster mount, for carrier take off and for shot down planes that do not fade away or disappear in the fireball but just stay there... I mean, Knights of the Sky will have to try really hard to impress me when it's out Managed to win dogfight on Taube not with revolver shots, but by crashing Bleriots into the ground. Then lost control myself, though wasn't hurt that badly. Looked at Bleriots - both had wings ripped off, one was flipped over and burning. And I don't know why they coudn't jump out, but pilots were inside this burning wreck and screaming.

Careful, you might accidentially shoot down some unsuspecting Apache or F-117!

Latest version is here http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ And it's most likely to work - I've managed to run dozens of oldies with this. Setting everything up might be a little tricky though.

Antlers should fit fine too

Nah... just thought of an action movie with green-eyed good guys, red-eyed bad guys and some Han-Solo-type yellow-eyed guy who switches to green in the last minute.

Do they come in different "eye" colours? :patsak:

Basically it fixes collisions with thin air... And fixes lights in cockpits. Such patches should be released even before the game hits the shelves - not several months after.

Same here.

Погоди, ты не на Windows Vista? На ней симы Thirdwire не запускаются, причем симптом вылета на 80% тоже встречается. Другие глюки (вылет после нажатия Esc) тоже бывают. Но есть фикс Обновить DirectX 9 и драйвера видюхи. Попробовать запустить игру в режиме совместимости с XP. Можно даже для начала попробовать установить SF gold в режим совместимости. Если не помогает, есть еще крайний фикс Найти в папке Terrain/(имя карты)/ файл (название карты)_DATA.ini Найти в нем пару строчек UseEffectShader=TRUE и сменить true на FALSE Вроде бы это избавляет от бага с вистой Для того, чтобы аналогичную процедуру провернуть с картами, поставляемыми с игрой, нужно вот этой утилитой распаковать .CAT в папке карты. Точнее даже не распаковать, а просто извлечь ***_DATA.ini, аналогично поправить и оставить лежать в той папке.
