Wings of Prey half price on Steam
SGCSG1 replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in OFF / WOFF 1 2 3 / UE - General Discussion
Well said and thank you for saying it. You made my day. I think this is just flat-out nuts. -
Is there any way to turn off the little blue lines of info in the bottom right corner? (Throttle, bombs-remaining, etc). Also, related question.....what's the quickest way to get to the keyboard maps? I've been going to 'Quick Flight' then 'Go to Field' and then looking at my key commands. Is there an easier way to bring that screen up? Thanks for any suggestions.

Views aren't working ?!?
SGCSG1 replied to SGCSG1's topic in OFF / WOFF 1 2 3 / UE - General Discussion
Here's what I've found this morning: If I don't have a plane targeted and I hit 'padlock' then the snap views stop working. This is obviously not a problem, if you're in padlock you aren't doing snap around viewing. If your padlocked target crashes then your snap views are still disabled. I can fix this by just hitting the 'padlock' key again. I thought I'd been doing that after shooting down all the enemies and still couldn't get snaps to work. But this morning it all worked fine. I'll keep experimenting, but this morning all I have to do is cycle 'padlock' with no target selected and I get my views back. -
OFF or RoF? Help the n00b!
SGCSG1 replied to vyrago's topic in OFF / WOFF 1 2 3 / UE - General Discussion
I'm playing the ROF demo now and it is very pretty. But the 'login' thing is a major PITA. And buying each one of your planes? Another PITA. I find OFF more 'scaleable' in terms of difficulty - there are 'flying aids' you can use which make the game much easier. Damn, ROF is HARD. It's easy to find a copy of CFS3 online and it's easy to buy OFF. It is really a much, much more 'finished product' than ROF. I'm thinking maybe ROF will be 'done' in another year. -

Nope, that wasn't it. Even with numlock on or off I still LOOSE ALL MY KEYPAD VIEWS. I'm in the game, I'm flying, I'm padlocking people, I'm turning on labels, I'm doing a bunch of stuff. I shoot a guy down. I CAN'T CHANGE MY INSIDE VIEWS ANYMORE. I've tried to 'unpadlock' (hitting '~' again), NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. What is the deal here? Is this a bug? Or some 'undocumented feature' that I need to work around? All comments welcome. -

Thanks, it was the Num-lock. -
This game drives me nuts. None of my 'look around' views are working. Numpad 2, 3, 7, etc. Use with scroll-lock to toggle from snap to slide view. Well, none of them work. I'm using my own keyboard map. Do user-generated keyboard maps just not work in this game? I thought maybe it was because of the 'you padlocked a target that crashed and now you have to unpadlock, but that doesn't seem to help anything. No, I'm not using Trackir (I get migraines). Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I've finally got some time to spend on this sim and would like to get it working right.

That "other WW1 flight sim"
SGCSG1 replied to Davy TASB's topic in OFF / WOFF 1 2 3 / UE - General Discussion
I just got an email from these folks. I told them to take me off their mailing list as long as they had an internet check for single players. They said they were working on that. We shall see...... -
'Red Baron' movie finally gets U.S. release

That's what apple movie trailers says, anyway: http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/theredbaron/ I know it's not the movie it could have been but I want to see it anyway. -
OT Worst 'Simulator' ever?
SGCSG1 replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in OFF / WOFF 1 2 3 / UE - General Discussion
It's sure to be a huge hit with the society for putting things on top of other things. -
Wings of Prey on STEAM
SGCSG1 replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in OFF / WOFF 1 2 3 / UE - General Discussion
Ditto. And yet oddly enough I just this week spent twenty bucks on HITR, so I DO have money to spend on computer gaming. -
DRM - I just voted with my dollars
SGCSG1 replied to SGCSG1's topic in OFF / WOFF 1 2 3 / UE - General Discussion
What DRM thing? All you need to do is have the MFCS3 disc in the drive, pretty standard stuff. And it is a fabulous flight sim. -

I'm too busy to spend much time playing this game. Don't really have the time. But I just bought HITR. Why? To support this product. When people make a good product and don't have screwy DRM, I will give them my money. Now, to see if I can free up some time..... -

SGCSG1 replied to appraiserfl's topic in OFF / WOFF 1 2 3 / UE - General Discussion
Yes, their support is abysmal. I had a problem with their client and emailed them three times, no reply. Posted in the forum about it, no reply. You have to create an account for their webpage, but they won't let you create your own password? These people are not serious. -
I saw a screenie of the menu screen for HITR. It said something like 'Registered, all installed addons are fully enabled!'. Does this mean you have to 'register' (ie, authenticate over the internet) when you install this? I looked all thru the requirements and didn't see anything about 'internet connection required'. Thanks for any info.
