Unfortunately, OFF is not like riding a bicycle Take some time off and there may be some painful lessons to relearn Simulates RL pretty well Many WWI pilots hated to take too much time off cuz they'd lose their sharpness Happy Hunting!

Welcome back Cappy!

I agree, it's not a big an issue requiring a P3 fix Tweak in P4 works fine for me Thanks Pol/Winder!

Bump

Ahhh, that's what's been missing the last 2 weeks You two should start a TV show: "Get OFF of my Cloud" Kinda like "The A Team" ...a whole lotta shootin, but no one ever gets hit Bottoms Up M8's

Souns advice Bullet Also you can set Campaign Activity to High in Workshop

Wha ...oh what a coincidence!!!

vonOben, I approach from a high altitude, out of MG range Pick a target on the far edge of the airfield or railyard Dive steeply, hit your target, then pull out very low Break into a 90 Deg turn while pulling out, keeping the nose at or below the horizon Then jink like mad til the MG's stop firing Climb in a wide circle and repeat the process but usually only 2 passes maximum By overflying the target before the attack, you break into "clean" space away from the gunners Higher dive speed aslo means that you exit the danger zone faster too 90 Deg Turn forces the gunners to re-compute their aim just when you're most vulnerable

Hellshade, Jasta 7 is right on the Flanders frontline, August 1918 Bogies usually pop up before you can finish the circling and climb out Brits seem to outnumber the Huns 2:1 so you'll be in the thick of it Suggest you enlist July 24th or later Good luck, I'm looking forward to it!

That's all great news but I was wondering if we'd be transferring by saaay ...July/August 2010?

Welcome back Olham! Sure wasn't the same w/o you around here Have a brau on the house

Cool Beans! How soon will we be able to transfer in OFF?

Good to see you back Ras! Lou, that skin looks perfect for the scenery ...nice shot!

I started a new pilot and flew 3 very short QC Free Flights 2 Missions showed and and .07 Hours in the Pilot Dossier I crashed on 2 of the flights and received hospital time on both Flew a single campaign mission next Date didn't change so no time effect from the hospital stays The Pilot Dossier showed 4 missions after this

Great read, thanks Lou I remember the issue of balloon confirmations came up a while back Fireball could definately be seen quite easily, this balloon didn't burn til on the ground

Positive, I was just doing some quick tests on Hellshade's MaxFPS idea There were no mission details listed on the right page Just the additional time and missions

It's impossible to know their pain It's impossible to understand their sacrifice All me can do is give them the respect and honor due their service And let us never cease to say "Thank you"

Good questions Check6! As Al says, mixture is only altitude (not temperature) sensitive OFF simulates this very well Start rich and gradually lean as you climb If you lean it too much she'll stutter or stall but quickly reversing the richness and she'll refire on her own Yes, if you're dogfighting and lose altitude she'll stall at some point But eventually you'll learn to be mindful of that Weather seems to have an effect too Storms bring lower barometric pressure so it seems leaner mixtures are required I read about the Spitfire carburater issues in "Fly for your Life" by R S Tuck ...good book! He said the "boffins" developed a floatless carburater to solve this How this worked? I don't know There are two options for Mixture Control in OFF Number Keys that control by 10% increments ...IIRC or your can create an Axis Command to a Rotary or Slide Control I have a Thumb Slider on my Throttle that works well HTH,

Hellshade, I modified my Max FPS from 0 to 60 and all the jaggies dissappeared I did a QC with Blue Skies and no matter how fast I looked around I couldn't get jaggies I'm not sure if this will work for everyone as all rigs are different But from my perspective ... Good Job, thanks M8!

Yes, but somehow I have to watch it ...and probably own it I did like Flyboys so there's hope I'll get some enjoyment outta Der Rote Baron

Thanks Guys, I'm looking forward to the dawn/dusk missions in P4

Nothin like flyin in the Morning Sun

I opened the xdp files for the Srutter Pilot gets a 300 round belt for his Vickers and the Observer gets 485 for his Lewis ...or 5 Drums!

Suh-weeet ride!
