  1. Anyone else noticed?...about the Dev's?

    Don't forget your dog As I think it was said here by some wise soul: If you lock your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car Go away, then come back in an hour and open the trunk Which one will be happy to see you?
  2. Dreaming about OFF

    What a cool dream, dogfightin in OFF I don't think it's insane either I should be so lucky
  3. RIP Manfred

    Tawny Porto here! MvR you're aura's so great, we're still toasting you, nigh 92 years later ...and I'm sure they'll still be in another 92
  4. OT Funny kite story

    Cute story OvS I think you're just lucky that it was her kite that downed yours!
  5. OFF Forum Pilots Maps

    Olham, I did a quick search in the Member List and found 2 New Zealanders who were active in OFF forums cazna and rhythalion Neither has been active recently Al, ring a bell?
  6. Calling all Brits

    Thanks for all the replies Guys! I found it on Amazon for $33 but I think I'll hold off for now I wasn't sure on the video clip The Google Link said it was "Piece of Cake" but there was no mention on YouTube Thanks for clarifying
  7. AI sillyness

    TrackIR will solve many of your wingman issues It's always best to scan all about Especially in a WWI crate with all the wings, struts, exhaust pipes to look around Olham posted this excellent vid a while back Shows off all TIR capabilities ...OFF/cfs3 does not have the Roll Function though
  8. AI sillyness

    Hi jsalbano, Welcome to OFF Sttandard Rule: New guy buys the beer! AI is a cfs3 thing But Rex Hannover cracked the cfs3 code for P3 and there are big improvements over P2 He's still at it, so P4 should be even better I occasionally see balloons get hit mysteriously by unknown means but not too common Keep at it, maybe a run of bad luck Yep, Wingies will shoot through you, crash into you to get the victory ...ravenous wolves! You must keep an eye ourt for them at all times Do you have TrackIR? Aileron Cable damage is coded into the DM Herr Prop Wasche has created an alternate DM where it takes more hits to damage your aileron cables Kill Poaching usually depends on the Squad you're in If you join an Elite Squad, they'll poach your victories left and right ...but they'll also save your butt alot too Join a Poor Squad and you won't have that problem ...they'll all get shot down, and you'll end up alone and surrounded I usually join either an Average or Good Squad, it's the best compromise But if you're surrounded by friendlies it's usually best to pull off and let them have him anyways ...your pilots will live longer and that's the goal Yep, you can knock out the pilot or tailgunner I think it usually takes more than 1 hit though HTH,
  9. Mystery Chateau - Poignant

    Certainly looked like a grand building Sad to see the beautiful architecture destroyed But when compared to the poor souls who battled there 'Cest La Ve'
  10. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

    Well I hope you've found it ...cuz it's all on your shoulders now M8!
  11. Aerial immolation

    Yep, happened alot in P2 Should be fixed in P3 Here's the blurb from the OFF Site: 2) NEW For P3!: Resolution of the occasional CFS3 weird 'weightless flight dynamics' of player craft when it is disabled - fixed. If it persists you might try resetting OFF and/or cfs3 in Workshop ...but you'll lose all your Pilot Data Prop Washes Backup File may have come just at the right time for you appraiserfl!
  12. A little program I am working on...

    HPW, this sounds like a very useful tool I've been quietly following but a thought just popped up; Will this work if OFF is installed on a 2nd (D:\) HD?
  13. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

    Tis a sad day to see a Stalwart of the Forum take his leave Your posts have touched many a heart more than you can know Lou Hope you find the peace that you're seeking We'll keep your Tankard at the Bar ready to go Cheers M8
  14. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

    "Say it ain't so Joe!" Lou, you're one of the Forum Aces here Hate to see you go, but if it must be, all the best M8!
  15. The problem may be in everyone's hometown Just about every town has a Civil War Monument and stacked welded Cannonballs are common Problem is they weren't too careful back then and many were live instead of solid shot Remeber seeing this mentioned on a news show awhile back, but here's a similar link: http://news.google.c...AAAIBAJ&pg=6137,1265839
  16. OT All 56 British Airports Closed

    They're taking about it on the news right now Saying "If you have a trip planned for Europe, it'll likely be cancelled"
  17. OT.......She is something else.

    almccoyjr, that's an outstanding video! Thanks for posting I keep thinking "If he can afford that, I should be able to afford a Dreamflyer!"
  18. Here's a belated "Thank you" James I was onlyn a youngster during Vietnam but even I could tell it was the politicians, not the troops, screwing up The fact that you soldiered on despite the adversity only adds to the accolades due you and your brethren Hope our country never repeats this disrespect In your debt,
  19. WWI Aviation

    Well it might be the only time I get to say that ...so I took my opportunity Vista is a drey horse of course ...on my laptop Gamer is still XP so I know where you're coming from
  20. WWI Aviation

  21. What's with the E3's?

    The Ghosts of Boelke and Immelmann are stalking you
  22. It's official....

    Cool Beans CJ! Better get that knee tuned up & ready
  23. What Car from your past was the most fun? Not necessarily the fastest or most powerful but the car that gave the most enjoyment Maybe cause it was so cheap that it could be driven carefree OK, I'll go 1st I spotted an episode of Wreck Rescue last night and it featured a 72 Capri (Brit version) It brought back memories of my Fun Car, a 77 Mercury Capri with a V6 Engine I was 22, working as a Security Guard Nights as I was still going to school I'd get off every night at 12:30 AM and had about a 10 mile trip home It seemed that every single night there was someone who wanted to race on the deserted Highway You'd think that Capri had 2 throttle positions, Idle and Floored Well winter came along but that didn't seem to effect the situation any Every corner was an adventure, fishtails, 4 wheel slides, whatever I could dream up It almost all ended one night when I was making my way towards the highway The roads were icy as could be, with broken chunks about and big snow drifts each side No matter, I came zipping along as usual Just before hitting the main road there was about a 45o turn then a stop sign, bracketed by 10 ft snow drifts I remember zipping along as if the pavement was dry and eyeing that corner Turned the wheel and hit the brakes ...NOTHING, no turn, no slowin down I hit that snow bank and launched right to the top, looked at the Naugatuck River down the embankment on the other side ... but luckily slid back down onto the road My antenna is somewhere up there to this day I guess My li'l Capri cost $2k, it wasn't my Hot Rod (70 Boss 302 Mustang), or my Sportscar (90 Miata), but it had some of each in it It was a pure ball o' fun with a crazy post teenager in it Interestingly, there is a side benefit of such a miss spent youth, I'm never nervous about wintertime driving to this day
  24. What was your Fun Car?

    Cheers, No offense taken, I was only relaying to you what was told to me by the GM guys at the plant, I appreciate the history One thing I can add is, the problem had nothing to do with old technology or out of date assembly methods St Therese was one modern assembly plant The sheet metal body assembly was completely automated From the 1st few small components to the flinal body shell, hardly a human could be spotted It was a sea of robotics ...very impressive ...almost hypnotic to watch I came away with the feeling that the shell was more akin to an aircraft fusalage not a car Even the frame beneath the body is really only heavy gage sheet metal formed into a rectangular tube I had always had the feeling, there should be an I-Beam under there somewhere Now this may bring a tear to your eye We all love our new cars, pristine out of the factory, nary a blemish The 1st scratch brings an emotional response akin to a cancer notification Well, off to the side, at the end of the line, was an internal body shop With all that automation, a stray electron is bound to occur and minor crack-ups happen on line They simply finish building the car and do the body work in-house later There were just a few vehicles there, so I'm sure it's rare, but it might be good to bring a magnet next time you go to the dealership
  25. Ditto on that NS13 Those who have served should get special mention If you don't mind me asking, how did you manage to get shot at in DC?
