Oi! Still have a pair of 18 holes that Ive owned since 84. I'll drink a pint or two in Old Doc's honor.

No offense to the OP; but I am tired of these Off vs RoF threads. These are two flight sim games we are talking about here. Buy them both fly the one you like best or fly them both for whatever reason and move on. Nuf said.

Ditto! I use high res exclusively. With a large hi res monitor they are a very noticeable improvement inside and out.

I thought that was hilarious. I watched a bunch more of those. Thanks for that, had never heard of those guys before being a Yank.

I had this happen as well while flying for the Germans. It was during take off and there was a locomotive and several cars on the landing strip. They where not connected to each other, just sort of lined up like a used train lot. They were there when I landed after the mission also. They were not there on any of the following missions I flew with that pilot. I was not to worried about it after it went away so I did not bother to remember what Jasta or what the date and or mission type was. I just thought I would let you know you were not alone. My guess... May be an unintended artifact from moving the train stations and tracks about. Just a guess. Cheers, Jim

I ran OFF on Vista X64 and now I run it on Win7 X64. I found a great performance increase on Win 7. about 1/3 improvement in speed, smoothness and general stability. HTH

I always go Hi-res. The planes just look too good not to. IMHO.

Interesting bunch here; these are some of my Interests at present. 1. Musician: Vocalist / Harmonica player at present but have been playing music since my Punk Rock days in the 80's. 2. Off highway driving: Lots of open country to explore in the great American Southwest. I enjoy finding old mines and such from the gold rush days. 3. Classic car restoration: Currently have a 1955 Buck special 95% complete. 4. History Buff: Mostly military, but I am also fascinated by the Sagas and read what I can find; Nordic, Icelandic, Greenland, etc. 5. Also build custom computers; mostly for myself and sometimes for friends and family members. 6. And of course; computer gaming. Thanks for sharing and letting me share. Jim

Target fixation kills me above all things. I have TrackIR too and have no excuse for not looking about. I get on that tail and it's like a giant chum bucket, let the feeding frenzy begin.

That made me laugh. You said it all with that.

I used Alacrity when I was running Vista 64. It helped quite a bit. I would say about 15FPS better. I now run the Windows 7 RC and no longer use it; I have found that OFF runs much better on it and have not needed the boost. HTH Cheers

I like wolves and I like Nordic mythology. There ya go.

I believe that I have heard it said that if you land or even if your wheels touch the ground the mission timer will end. I have never checked that for myself though. I have had some close calls where I have bounced the carriage a few times but never bothered to check the time. Cheers!

You have me down just right. The middle of nowhere in the vast desert southwest. Cheers!

It's a bit dark in the cave and I have no flash, but there you go.

That was brilliant! Thanks.

Just a quick word to those who may be wondering/worrying. I am seeing an immense improvement with both. Running Off max settings, almost no jaggies at all. Sim is running smooth as glass. I am absolutely pleased and astonished. I must say my performance has at the very least doubled. These are my specs. Maximus Formula Q9300 @ 2.60 GHz 8 gigs of OCZ reaper 2 HD3870 X fire mode. Direct X 11 running @ 1920 x 1080 2 x WD raptors Raid 0 Cheers! Sorry forgot to add I was using vista when I switched over.

Yup, well aware of that. But what the hell. Ive always had terrain on 4 and clouds on 3 before. In phase 2 and 3 on the vista system. I don't think anything will blow up. If it starts to sag Ill change it. I tried it on my old system but it protested right off the bat. Actually same system, new OS. Cheers.

I was using vista 64 when I switched to windows 7 64. Just to make myself clear. And good evening to you as well.

I have heard the developers say that they have not tested with 3head2go but I believe I saw an early post where someone manged to get it working with three monitors. But I am with the rest of them, look at TrackIR. for one thing it will save you a bundle on all those tubes. I for one use a 46" monitor and TrackIR. My cockpit is almost full scale with that size screen.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that free track is only 2 DOF and TIR supports 6 DOF. OFF supports 5 DOF basically everything but Roll.
