  1. ATI 9.4 drivers

    Duck.........anybody loaded 'em in? Better FPS or change worthy of note???........Thanks gaw
  2. what happens to that treasure trove of add-ons.............egads!...nothing lasts forever. I'm not laughing....that place was great for all of us.....for a loooooong time. Dang!
  3. Winder/Pol/devs........there's a great Camel skin with red and white strips along the whole nose section that drifts past in the screensaver. Is that one a choosable skin in the menu's and if so which one is it pls? Thanks.......
  4. that great skin

    You beauties! Thank you
  5. half the time I come home (if at all)half the flight gone, sometimes everybody's missing.....down or dead........who's left to even be a witness?
  6. Graphics question

    Don't know if this helps but the AA box always "looks" like it defaults back to none. It's misleading as your AA is indeed set, your choice just isn't verified in the box (CFS3 bug apparently).....set your card to "application controlled" and the AA works. I've an ATI card but I remember a thread about just this issue a while back and I think it's in an OFF read-me. Never knew there were 3 different kinds of AA so I might be whistling in the wind here.....probably am.
  7. one can always cruise about above the balloon...and the archie generally does the work for you....saves ammo to shoot at the bad chaps that usually show up.....defenses'll chew your plane up a bit and, while it's satisfying to pop the gasbag, trying to beat feet for home with a broken wing is not a good recipe for longevity......astonishing how bravery and pluck don't answer....whilst playing the odds do....beautiful work by the devs
  8. wankers all..........wish there were more, yours......gaw
  9. didn't shoot him down.........was so ashamed after a burst or two, I went home in disgust....nobody yelled at me
  10. individual painting

    I love these threads..........J may not know the agonies endured to get OFF where it is now....probably has no idea of the hard-coded issues that can't be "fixed", "patched", or "worked around". But he's here, asking questions, like all of us into this stuff, and that's worth a welcome. Soooo..........welcome Julianm6..stick around..........lot's of good people here and a lot of great help too......but UKWidowmaker is right "you cannot have it, so that's about it". And it's totally worth it!!!!
  11. Only a doubt

    they do....you just gotta travel on beyond the field 7 miles, then turn around and come back and they'll be landing. It's probably an unchangeable code in the game.....just take a looooong base leg if you like see all of 'em home and on the ground
  12. shoot me if you will......but remember the CFS 3 stuff that carried us all forward for years? ETO has been updated to 1.20 with some drop dead gorgeous work by a lot of our fellow simmers and is totally great.....as significant and lovely as all the work the devs have made available to us here with OFF........BHAH is the most absorbing, complex evolution in this marvellously evolving game, enough stuff to absorb and appreciate for years.........but I thought ETO worth mentioning here...at the risk of censure given the recent divide......knowing that there's probably more than one of me who follow, fly, and remember both.
  13. wrong forum

    yeah..........me too. I think it's OFF's fantastic campaign engine that serves up variables every time out of the chute that makes it such an amazing change up.....it's built on the same blocks but feels real. And yet ETO has no lack of beautiful planes, airfields, and effects...and great missions. Thanks to all of 'em who do this stuff.....such a treat to fly. Cheers....GAW
  14. Marvelous---and a few questions

    Olham........can't believe there's anyone out there remembers the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.........lost the whole lot to a fire years ago but still smile to remember the margin cartoons of Fat Freddy's Cat....great stuff!!!
  15. members..........yep, here we are.........some valued, some new, some modders, some junior, some...never mind.....we're something in the great scheme of things......nice to see your "rocky mountain way" avatar
  16. wrong forum

    not at all...........just takes a while to do it's thing....be patient...let the installer work......takes a while but the screens,directions come up perfectly and well worth it too....here's the link.. http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?autocom...&showcat=10 ..just as perfect as all our OFF updates and damn near as good!!!
  17. Enemy view or ID keys?

    yep....there's a keyboard chart downloadable somewhere....sorry, I forget where....and you'll find a bunch of 'em up top here under gimpy's tips and cheats
  18. Hey All......one of Winding Man's engaging, among many, additions is the AI Weather Generator........it's a big choose block on the Workshop..........it was there on the CFS3 mission manager that still works so well in CFS3............I still click that tree icon before I go to a mission set....and yet I've never explored the limits/permutations of what it has to offer in CFS3 of OFF. The read me is no doubt rational and concise but has anyone ever made a "front", chosen a "duration", a "precipitation rate", or hit the reset button there?? I haven't. I've trusted that greater minds than mine, no great task, have designed the doggone thing so it must work..........and....if it works, don't fix it.....yet I'll bet there's a world of choice there....unexplored territory!!! Love to hear Mark's feedback on this when he's had a bit of recovery time...or anybody else bolder than I! gaw
  19. 1.26 great as per threads.....anybody else pitching violently down coming out of warp. Same accross the board with different planes.....can recover most but not all....maybe a new feature to discourage warping. Answer....don't warp I suppose. Cheers....gaw ....and what's the warn % thingie....maybe I've been bad in a previous life?
  20. you guys are amazing!!!!! kudos........... gaw
  21. Why don't my trim inputs stick?

    reasonable question..........same here for years..trimmed manually, touch the stick, and trim settings went south..which is why auto-trim was for me a given. Now the auto-trim function here has new constraints........good ones....see the "violent pitch" threads...the devs and AussiePilot have solved the issue. There were several glitches (under 50 yard bullet hits for example) that seemed to be tied to old no-cd .exe's. I've no idea what the ties were or if this trim thing is even associated...but the game is evolving and there are a lot of people smarter than I am working on and aware of these things....keep the faith.
  22. ahhh........philosophy! Hard is good.......as we've known since our first glimpse of Penthouse.
  23. they certainly have....bless 'em. The "official" OFF site is here http://www.overflandersfields.com/info.htm but this is it's new forum home. 2X, etc. are not really "warps"....just speed up (time compression) options to get you there quicker without "warping". Warp seizes the plane and moves it to the next waypoint or the next enemy....time compression merely moves you along faster while remaining in control of the plane.........both are handy depending on your circumstance but........anything over 4X........make sure you're in auto-pilot or you're toast....at least I am....Cheers...GAW
  24. violent pitch

    Thanks all of you for chasing this down!!!!!!!
