Prior to the patch the AA was totally inaccurate and ineffective so I am sure you preferred that. 1) Adjust the AA effectiveness and groundfire in workshops thats what its for. 2) Adjust sound levels of effects in workshops that's what the settings are for. When you have exhausted all those options start a poll. Then I might consider if the numbers support it. HTH WM

Yes - I have removed them in 1.32c - I forgot to do this for SP. WM

Try setting the Ground Object Density in workshops to low - make usre you have 1.32b installed - check workshops version number. Most users are reporting better smoother FPS and play - it was a focus of the SP. What GPU have you got? WM

Don't worry I have found the problem - will be in 1.32c hotfix. Ta WM

Bump as I edited your post.

I use Trackir 4.0 I have a Trackir 3 that you can have - e-mail me on support. WM

3. I will have to look they should not be doing that but this is new code for airstart so a bug is possible - next time it happens send the mission to us on support. Ta WM

Yes Mission is regenerated with air start waypoints - target may change but will be same type. Ace Flight usually has waypoints that are above yours - they should always have the same objective though. The AI in CFS3 also tries to think for itself - and if they spot ground targets on a sweep mission they may attack. Finally remember OFF is not about following waypoints or completing a mission and being successful in fact the success of a mission has no bearing on your progress. Its about survival - stick with the Aces for best protection and numbers - only attack if numbers or technology or tactical position is on your side - bug out if you feel threatend. Pol and I were discussing RB recently - my longest living pilot was a Nieuport flyer and raked up 70 kills. I flew defensive only attacking when odds were in my favour - avoiding large furballs at all costs - and picking off stragglers from these furballs and or 2 seaters. Above all I feared for my pilots life and Flak was a constant threat in RB - we used to fly in fear of it. In OFF Flak is easier IMO. I never bothered to always carry out the mission - I did if I could often I could not. WM

Yeah bit of a clunker - level off after take-off to gain speed and then climb very gradually... Nice to see another user in Johannesburg that means two users of OFF here now - u and me. WM

Read up about WW1 - it will help answer your question - or turn down effects sound level and play 'realistic' with no ambient sounds - engine and guns only. WM

Ranting and Raving never really solves anything but for those that may have this problem: 1) Make sure you are using legit CFS3 that is patched to 3.1 before installing OFF. 2) Make sure that your AV is not causing inteference. 3) Check what other apps are running at the same time as OFF or just before you start OFF - esp the apps that minimise all overheads for some magical improvement in FPS - be wary of these. WM

Sorry to hear that some of you are unhappy with OFF. We have and always will try our best and sure its never going to please everyone - we cannot. There is now a viable modern alternative to OFF so why not try that - compare it to OFF and then consider whether you want to stay here or there or hell even BOTH! At the end of the day this is game and an addon on to CFS3 - we have never disguised it any other way We have made tremendous inroads into modding the CFS3 hardcode issues in a priority list and we may or may not continue depending on support. We have had a total of three e-mails since the release of OFF of users who gave up on OFF and moved on - we are happy with the success rate so far - pretty good when I consider the utter crap games I have on my shelf. As to the sounds - I have read a few complaints here - simply turn down the effects volume slider to your liking - the war sounds are based on Battles that may not even be in your eyesight - the sounds of many barrages in WW1 were heard as far away as London - so the effect is there if you want to hear it - if not turn it down As to the numbers - well you have to take into account the Aces flight which fly to the same objective as you - always - as mentioned elsewhere. I am sure everyone would love to fly with superior numbers at all times - but we know this is not realistic. Finally I guess I should say that we are taking a break - we are happy with OFF P3 as we hope you are. What the future brings who knows. If anyone needs support please contact: support@overflandersfields.com and quote: 1) Your Avangate Order Number 2) What package type and version of CFS3 you own. Thanks WM PS if you are unhappy with OFF and do want to be constructive why not start a thread and list the issues you would like to see addressed in the future - get consensus - I love polls I think everyone knows that by now. I am not saying we will fix these 'issues' - but we do read feedback as usual - especially feedback based on concensus. WM

Its still in build - not complete yet. We will post pics soon. WM

If you end up with 'funnies' in the linking between OFF, the P3 dynamic memory patching DLL and CFS3 remember what you did. Just a heads up. Hope it goes well. WM

Maybe send us a list of incorrect/corrected German expressions to support and I will fix in the future - its too late now? Ta WM

If you are having stability issues - strange mission outcomes or even variable AI/DM experiences please make sure that you are using a legitimate MS CFS3 V3.1 exe and install. There are cracked 'no cd' exe's out there alas and I can say OFF DOES NOT AND CANNOT WORK PROPERLY with ANY hacked exes, moreover most of them are V3.0 and this is an even more obvious problem. CFS3 is cheap - buy it! UBISoft has a DVD version for sale that runs without a CD in the drive. WM And I must add this is not a sales pitch for MS: ******* OFF WILL NOT WORK WITH ILLEGITIMATE CFS3 EXEs. **********

The hot fix should be up in about 48 hours all being well. WM

Yes AA/flak visibility range has been increased in 1.32 HTH WM

Yep HTH WM

Hotfix 1.32b is in testing now and includes: Fixes: 1) Lower density tree clusters when lower density scenery is selected in workshops (only high density is loaded at the moment irrespective of setting) 2) Reduced Rate of Fire of AA guns - 'RoF' was too high when battles are on the go. 3) Text Colour issue in claim forms (light grey - not clearly visible). 4) Text overlay issue in Pilot Enlistment screen (right hand panel lower). 5) Awarded medals velvet background now displays correctly to hide the photo holder in the debrief screen. Improvements: 1) Improved Observation Balloon damage model and effect. This patch will supersede and replace the 1.32a hotfix. There will only ever be one hotfix patch to add on to the Super Patch ETA - unknown... but soon. WM

Yeah its very funny... As I see it, reading that poll, many players are not sticking with the second flight - so yes I can easily see the problem....so maybe fly with the second flight as intended? The balance always includes the numbers in the second flight - and yes sometimes the second flight does not make it (war is hard craft are sometimes grounded)...... then beware... Fight defensively, self preservation etc and set up workshops to suit your style of play - how many times we have to say this I don't know lol But play on see how it goes.... I know we all want to win the war it just did not happen that way. Finally I hope to be able to join the flights together for P4 but this will only happen if we break the non unique skin issue in player flight. WM

Yes! But don't tell OVS this - so whilst the crumpet craft have dull skins they do deliver the goods.... WM

Yes we encourage the creation of third party missions for OFF as usual, and always will .....so ignore uncleal. Please note that user missions must now reside in \scenarios\'nation'. This improved houskeeping and also allows for proper captivity criteria. So guys please move all your missions to the correct subfolder in \scenarios. Again this is a P4 feature reelased early. HTH WM
