  1. Saitek HOTAS Tune-up

    I had a similar problem with my X52 Pro The lights went out on the stick ...never came back on Turned out to be the internect cable between the stick & throttle Replaced it with a off the shelf cable but it happened again about 8 months later Now I just use the X52 Throttle and a MS Sidewinder Stick
  2. Well, that wasn´t fair!

    Arrgh! friendly AA Fire I'll send a strong letter to their CO ...and the Kaiser will send a sweet one to your Mum Nice career itif
  3. Dawn on the Western Front

    Wow. Widow that's amazing Your son has some real talent there ...and only 12??? Quite amazing and I'm glad you're encouraging him Hope to see Part 2 How about Tom Clancy?
  4. Another OFF Immersive Moment

    I agree, but my #1 choice would be Udet Nothing to do with his later transgressions Just to survive that long, one must be very cautious For all the times I've been hit by friendly fire, you'd think I'd seen this just once That must of really made you sit up in your seat Was it a close call for you too? Good un Bullet Crash landings are part of RL and can be as much fun as a DF Hope P4 can eliminate the auto exit to the OFF Manager What functions did the gremlins eat anyways?
  5. Another OFF Immersive Moment

    Mnay a time I've dove down to help out a wingie in trouble Thought has crossed my mind "What am I nuts?" Maybe a little of both factors A couple weeks ago I was returning alone when I spotted 2 DVII's down low harassed by 5 Se5's Pushed thge nose over and heard the Superman music as I dove to the rescue 1/2 there 1 DVII belched smoke and augered in, almost there the 2nd burst into flames! Now I'm surrounded by 5 angry Tommies ...I did hit the 1st one rather hard though Wonder how many RL Aces would've passed this over?
  6. Totally OT

    Outstanding!
  7. Robbed by Archie

    Haven't flow Se5's in a long while but I remember that Aldis Sight I switched to RFC 74 They have a nice Ring Sight and removed that big head rest too Either that or get so close, you can't miss Happy Hunting,
  8. Another OFF Immersive Moment

    They're no more than electrons in a rock (silicon chip) yet somehow we cherish them Yep, that's immersion ...or insanity
  9. OT--Loose as a Goose

    Oh, he will!!! When I was a youngster, my buddy & I played hooky from school one day Avid BB Gun Hunters, we wondered about taking pot shots at anything that moved Walking up a path we spotted a Red-Winged Blackbird Colony in a tree Pretty quickly we were firing away, followed very quickly by them going into attack mode and swarming us They won as we turned tail and ran swinging our guns above our heads For 2 years those birds remembered me and would swoop me everytime I passed They'd let my friends go by OK and would single me out Stay Safe,
  10. Christmas will be here soon

    Great news Winder! Glad you made it payware Maybe there'll be a new engine under the Christmas Tree If not this Christmas, then next Cheers,
  11. TRack IR 3?

    I find TIR 4 smooth but I think it pans faster than my video card can keep up I get blue jaggies when panning real fast Not a problem though HTH,
  12. That's a nice little tidbit Might seem small but it'll be nice to have some Ace talent close at hand Nice Eye Candy too
  13. Another OFF Immersive Moment

    Thanks guys OFFF provides the action, we just try to survive it Olham, that was quite a realistic moment AI knows hit and run tactics ...amazing! Anyone else have any immersive moments to share?
  14. Advice for a first campaign?

    Here's a suggestion akin to RL experiences Start out in Free Flight flying a Halberstadt as if in flight traing When you're used to it, start a 1916 campaign in an Alb DII or DIII Go into the heart of flanders for some action And whatever you choose, please report your experiences ...and welcome to OFF M8!!!
  15. A Pittance of Time

    Nice little song an video I'm often struck by how inept we are at honoring our veterans There is no gift or conveyance of gratitude that can repay them for their suffering on our behalf Yet veteran's hospitals are underfunded and the gov't denies their illnesses even exist When will we learn? 2 minutes well spent I say! Cheers Bullet, NS, and all the other vets This one's on me Thanks for sharing Wid!
  16. Rabu, I have limited experience in a Roland You're right to ask for tactics because I had trouble at 1st (trying to fly her like a fighter) I found she could turn fairly good but had a slow roll rate Fighters could snap into a turn faster tan I could and would turn back under me Took me a while to realize that the fight's not over even at this point Just roll her on her side and let the TG have a shot at him So you need to think tactically for your TGer as well as yourself Height is more precious in a 2 Seater too as they usually don't climb as good as the fighters HTH & Happy Hunting,
  17. Just lost another pilot ...by the same method Rather than writing a frustrated response ...I thought I'd see how everyone else is fairing Cheers,
  18. Does SoftTH work with OFF

    Yes, I could see that from your pic Give the SoftTH a try Looks interesting
  19. Does SoftTH work with OFF

    Dn't know about SoftTH But some here have used "Triple Head To Go" with OFF Give it a try!
  20. Germany will mourn his passing

    Great career there Ryan! The Kaiser will sent a note of condolence to his Mum Good luck in the Pup This rounds on me
  21. Shape adds a lot to strength Lay a piece of paper over the side of a table and it can't even support it's own weight Fold it up accordian style and it's immensely stronger Junkers Ju52 and Ford Trimotors used this princple in their currugated skins
  22. That's sound about right The Geneva Convention forbade use of POW's to further the war effort Many German POW's were used as farm labor, picking potatos in Idaho, etc. Many do like the desert life I have dry skin & after 2 weeks I'm an alligator so it's not my cup o' tea I agree, the desert sky is something to behold No moisture means no haze so they're the bluest skies I've ever seen If you drive out, away from the population and light polution, there's many more stars to see Best part was our company was very generous as far as meal charges We ate steak night after night & Texas has some great steak houses!
  23. 4 Months and 46 Hours in a DH2! Outstanding Lou You're an inspiration to us all Good Luck with those Albatross
  24. You better hope they don't ship you off to the US I saw a documentary where about 5 German prisoners escaped in WWII Course they were in the desert southwest ...nowhere to go!!! They recaptured some and the last one eventually turned himself back in
  25. How do your pilots die?

    I must have had 3 pilots this week knocked down by Friendly Ack_Ack It's by far my biggest killer Last one dropped after I set Ground Fire to Light too Can't remeber the last time that Enemy Ack-Ack has hit me, though wingies have gone down Looking at the results, I'm the only 1 who listed it as a common cause of death Must be an install issue, but at least now I know OK, rant over Thanks for all thye input guys ...keep it coming! Red-Dog, I think that'll all be changing in the near future TrackIR should solve the disorientation Ah, but that's the trouble with polls You never quite know all the questions to ask til it's over Next time I'll drink heavily before scrawlin 1 up
