Running VISTA64 Home OFF 1.30C Hard DM At the end of each QC mission I a get a full blank screen with the title "Missions not responding" It stays displayed for about 5 seconds then I am returned to the QC selection screen. Is there a fix for this ? Is it significant ?

Its a Fresh Install. Thanks Polovski .. off to the FAQ I go.

Trying to run the Mission Builder in OFF V1.28. I installed OFF from a Complete CFS3 V1.3 I clicked on MB.exe in OFF and was told I didn't have a file verify.dll. I got a copy of this and placed it in the OFF MB folder. I then click on MB.exe in the OBD/MB folder and I am presented with the following error message: "The procedure entry point jpeg_std_error could not be located in the dynamic link library jpeg.dll" Of interest when I go looking in the CFS3 folder system I cannot find an MB sub folder or any MB.exe file for CFS3 either. Do I need some additional 3rd party add on ? I am not interested in Mission building in CFS3 but I am in OFF. If I can get a solution for OFF I Will be grateful.

Finger trouble on my part I think Sitting_Duck. I was trying to run it direct from the exe in the MB folder. Running via Start>programs>OFF> Mission builder and all seems to be ok. Thanks for the help.

I am not so sure The Windsock and the smoke plume are at right angles to each other.

I also get about 10 successive error dialog boxes about various BMP files that cant be loaded.

Just update OFF to ver 1.30C. MB now shows this error on start up. Cant find font OCRB(-13) using arial instead. MB wont load at all now. Any clues on a fix ?

Same issue here. Running Ver 3.0 Hardcore DM. In QC after selecting PfalzIII a box pos up saying this is a non certified aircraft and cannot be used. I press done on the dialogue box and then see the QC hourglass with a circle with diagonal cross as a mouse cursor. PC effectively frozen. Needed CTL+Alt+DEL to shut down OFF manager.

Thank you for the jpeg.dll file Sitting_duck all works just fine now.

Gooday Sitting_duck. That would be great if you could send me your jpeg.dll. My Email addy in a PM. Regards Ivank

Yes and no matter how I start it I get the same jpgg.DLL related error message

Missing from all the German types are the Airspeed Indicators. Typically these were of the self contained anemometer type and located on a strut outside the Propeller slipstream. Typical example can be seen on this Fokker DR I restoration : http://memorial.flight.free.fr/indexuk.html Any chance of such a device being included in OFF ?

Is there a way to remove the screen messages like "Hit Unknown Airman" "Warning near stall" etc ?

Still cant get MB to run still get the jpg.dll error message. "The procedure entry point jpeg_std_error could not be located in the dynamic link library jpeg.dll" Here is what I have done. Installed CFS3.1 Installed Cfs3mb10.msi into CFS3 Installed OFF and patched to 1.28A

Ok many thanks will give that a go.

Excuse me Oldham but how about keeping to the subject ? My comment was purely in relation to Air speed indicators nothing else. I havent complained about immersion AI, or the stamina required to fly a serious dogfight. I can get on quite well without the ASI too boot. It was an observation not a complaint. Yes I am a Noob to OFF but not the Combat flight Sim arena. For the record I am enjoying OFF immensely (at max difficulty settings right from the get go) and appreciate the dedication that has obviously gone in to producing this gem.

I visited the MS CFS3 sight and downloaded and installed MB. In the CFS3 MB folder I have 12 files. I get the same jpeg.dll error file when I try to run CFS3 MB.exe or the MB.exe file in OOF.

Standard and Double icons .. neat idea.

I think Scout77's idea of just using a Generic Airfield symbol is a good idea. Assuming the airfields in OOF are constant in terms of location throughout the war then a Generic symbol might be the way to go.

Thats really informative Thank you

Is there a way to go from Iron Sight view directly to Virtual cockpit view without stepping through the other internal views?

I think its : qclocations.xml in the main "CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields" folder. This is the sort of data it lists: <Locations> <Country Name="British Fields Flanders"> <City Name="Assevillers"> <Airbase ID="Assevillers" Lat="N49*53'51.0000" Lon="E2*49'38.0000" Terrain="CFS3Europe" GlobalLayer="CFS3Europe1916"/> </City> <City Name="Balatre"> <Airbase ID="Balatre" Lat="N49*53'51.0000" Lon="E2*52'48.0000" Terrain="CFS3Europe" GlobalLayer="CFS3Europe1916"/> </City> <City Name="Bapaume"> <Airbase ID="Bapaume" Lat="N50*07'07.0000" Lon="E2*51'35.0000" Terrain="CFS3Europe" GlobalLayer="CFS3Europe1916"/> </City>

There is a text/XML file in there that lists the lat long of every airfield. I was looking at it the other day with the aim of putting a Lat Long Grid over the top of Rabus map. I cannot for the life of me remember the file name though. I think it was in one of the facilities folders.

Just noticed this in V1.26 The Windsock and the smoke from the chimney indicate wind direction 180 degrees apart.
