MK2, fabulous sir! Thanks for sharing again. What an honor for you to have the Luke map and from the family at that. Awesome that all these things survive.

Methinks that Widsy doth haveth a rather clear shot at his SNIPE! And pray what is this E.V. going to go up against? Can't see what you want to see sometimes I quess. so it may be pretty but there's a hint of weak wing in there just to even things up until the Snipe arrives ;)

Ah, Wings Of Glory... I busted 2 joysticks playing this one. I just loved it and had people watching the action over my shoulder from time to time. The variety of planes was great and the Zep gave me buckfever.

This game was the reason I bought my Xbox. Looks great. I do believe that some of the guys from the OFF development team worked on this game.

If your mind is made up that's that but, OFF P1 was free as was OFF P2, as such works in progress. OFF BH&H is vastly improved over the earlier free phases. If ROF is a no go for you and you want a dynamic campaign all I can say is that from what I see in the forum and from my own long time WWI flightsim experience OFF BH&H excells at being immersive and even causes many of us to break a sweat and take time outs because of the intensity that it can offer. As it so often happens, sometime after initial release, there is a price drop. The base cost of OFF BH&H is currently $29.99 As for online MP I finally gave it a shot just recently and had a hell of a good time flying with these guys that I've gotten to know on the forum. I'm not trying to change your mind nor am I dissing another sim. Just wanted to share the price drop info and point out the opportunity. Thanks for reading this.

Yes, take the time and get it right.

I agree with your observation about crashes thus far. And I am not too impressed by the AI in single player that I've seen. Non evasive flying and evidently only 1 E/A in the air as the pursuing pilot was not checking his 6 or looking around. Fixated on the turkey shoot. I don't want to judge ROF by the vids but then again people make the vids available and they are glowing about how wonderful it is. So I look and see a beautiful looking sim but then I see other things too. I can't help what I see or think I see. The proof is in the actual flying/playing the sim. For me I don't think that will be soon as I don't think my best computer is up to the task of running the game. To anyone that gets ROF I hope it runs well for you and is what you've been hoping for.

This thread keeps getting more interesting

It's the pattern in my backside after sitting long hours in my crate. The seat is made from wicker. Historically speaking that is. So you might say my virtual ass.

well now I don't know about you but I got a wicker ass goin on over here

Very interesting stuff Olham. If they were flying the Zeps today maybe you and I could find work handling the lines. For start and landing of a "Zeppelin", many hands where needed. The tail end was held by 25 men, port and starbord side both needed 25 men again; the remaining cables and ropes got handled by 45 more men. It needed almost 200 men to start and land a Luftschiff safely. Hage had about 660 groundcrew men; also, there where 30 fighter aircraft with pilots for defense of the base. Would beat what I'm doing now.

My first sorta sim was Wings for the Amiga. Prior to that I had Blue Max for Commodore. I can't call that one a sim tho. Enjoyed Wings a lot. I even have copy for Nintendo Advance. Damm small screen... Currently in heaven with OFF:BH&H.

I don't know the background of the serpent but I do get the impression that it is of medieval origin. It makes a fantastic skin, looks great Rabu!

Ah... and there's that P4 reference again by the man himself...... bless ya.

I would preorder if i could. I'm just hoping for a multi-plane download.

SD, I think you have a good idea and I would like to thank Siggi once again for the TIR. Thanks Siggi!!

Good thing you've got that "touch of panache" going for you m8!

Ooooolala!

My only regret is that I missed P1 and got into P2 about one month prior to BH&H release. I understand what you mean Siggi.

Thanks for that confirmation OVS. I updated my post at the Aerodrome to reflect that happy news. http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/games-fl...eaven-hell.html

P4 will be released before I feel I am finished with BH&H.

I don't for a nano second regret paying full retail for OFF. My income is rediculously low at present. I only hope that the reduction in price means more users. I feel especially good about the OFF scenario overall because of the recent hints and references to additional aircraft and even a P4.

Yes indeed, welcome back!

Mr. Lucky, Firstly I don't understand much technical talk but I will try to tell you what I have. Medion Akoya P6611 16", 1366x768 pixels , Vista 32 ,Intel Centrino Core2 Duo T5800 (2GHz 2MB L2 Cache 800 MHz FSB), 3 GB DDR2 SDRAM, Nvidea GeForce 9300M w/256 MB GDDR3 memory, 320 gig hard drive. On the laptop I get very good performance everything looks and works great. Sliders at 4,2,2,4,1. Running TIR3 and Fraps. I also use an external monitor setup KDS CRT 18" resolution 1600x1200 Sliders at 4,3,3,4,1. My frame rates vary in either setup from 30 to high 50's depending on the situation. Always very flyable and no stutters. Although I am extremely pleased with my laptop at some point I hope to have a dedicated pc tower and not use my laptop for flight simming.

Just some things, most are silly. People. Ground crew. Mechanics. Some ability to move around the aerodrome in first person and enter various buildings and have things to see and do in there. A bunkhouse with some personal effects you took as trophies from downed planes. A journal by your bed where you can make entries or view your record. Flesh out the hangars with paraphenalia. Have a canteen/mess where we can meetup like an online waiting room. I always thought that if I could design a WWI flying game I would include the aspect of breaking out of prison and making your way back to friendly territory. That would include being brought down in enemy territory or noman's land. All in first person perspective. Trench and shell hole jumping. Things like funerals and award cerimonies. I quess you might tell that I like first person roleplaying games. Imagine a marriage of OFF and Oblivion. Imagine the years of high paid developement team and million dollar budget too I suppose.
