Hey, akulawien, welcome to the OFF Forum! Your English is good, man, no problem! Now, even though I am not Hellshade and cannot answer your question, I would like to add you to our "OFF Forum Pilots Maps". I have your avatar name, and would put you on Vienna. Is that okay?

Guys, I know from my stepfather's suffering, how bad back pain can be. Good stretching exercises are very helpful, while you are not suffering from a pain attack. There are good ones to be found in YouTube - this guy seems to have some good short videos on there: For immediate pain release, this one might be useful: Not sure, if it will also work for non-Asians...

Not long ago I begged for poplars, which are very common trees in Flanders - now I see you have added them. Thanks a lot, Winder! I wonder, if the major roads (Arras - Douai, for example) will be well recognisable roads or alley roads? (That would help very much for navigating.) All the added finesse and detail make the new Camel skin - as also the Dr.1 - appear larger, like the real craft; a very good effect for more realism feeling. And with the new damage model, I will continue flying "high res skins" to get such great results. If I can't see bulletholes, that's no problem, you wouldn't see them from some distance anyway; and the major damage is now brilliantly shown. Gee, what a lesson in patience... ...two weeks can be daaaaaaamn long...

What a fine quote - short, and spot on! Widow, I wish you a good recovery - the back is a sensible field! Last summer, I had a warped sacroiliac joint. I told the doc, I hadn't even known I had one. His diagnosis was quick and spot on: you must be sitting too much - you need to do more sports for your body's sake. So now I force myself to run 4 - 6 km twice every week. Not my cup of tea at all - if god wanted us to run around, he would have given us four legs - but it worked. The best remedies are always bitter. Take care of you, mate,

Wouldn't say it's that bad, Widow - I have flown around in a Hawker Hurricane, and I saw the potential. They will soon release a major patch, I have heard, which should improve the frps a lot.

Welcome to OFF, simmelman! No idea what you are talking about - OFF is running nicely on my Win 7 (32bit) system. Maybe you want to check the Questions and answers here: http://overflandersfields.com/FAQ.htm#MISCELLANEOUS_QUESTIONS

Well, I guess some other AV might also make problems sometime ; so that's at least a helpful detailed advice of Sandbagger. This year, KASPERSKI was reviewed very well and seems to be among the top AV programs; so I got it. And I must say, I never had a problem with running OFF, although I never switch my AV off. Didn't even make any special rules or allowances.

Oleg Maddox' crew worked for some 6 years on that Battle of Britain thing now called "Cliffs of Dover" - and see what you got. Compared to that, I can sleep very well with the certainty, that they will release a really ready sim - and after much less time, and probably with far less people.

Naw, I know you love the Pfalz, Hasse Wind, but she's not as beautiful IMHO - but nevertheless: a good fighter with a sturdy dive. But: chacun à son goût - there's no accounting for taste.Otherwise we'd all fight for the same woman.

Widow, I actually like it better than Blume's original design - the top wing stripe all to the front edge doesn't look as good as it looks your way. Enjoy your time with Jasta 9 - I had a long-time pilot there early on, flying the more rare Albatros D.Va "200" (200 PS). We mostly encountered SPAD XIII from Vauxéré and Sissone, in summer 1918.

Ditto to that! Indeed - nothing of the beautiful lines of the D.V. The next wooden aircraft design that succeeded the Albatros in a "beauty contest" was the Roland D.VI - a design like an Italian speed boat. From all I read it was somewhere between the late Albatros and the Fokker D.VII in performance; closer even to the Fokker, and more agile than the Albatros. The Roland climbed very well (to 4500 meters in 25 minutes), and she was at this altitude still 160 km/h fast. She could take off after only a very short runway, but was more tricky to land. Total production number is said to have been 353. But Fokker could build his new craft much faster and in larger amounts, and the pilots preferred the Fokker D.VII and the Pfalz D.XII. Thanks to Thomas Genth for the picture.

Only now I get it - you have built the above skin after that picture, Widowmaker! Damn, I must have been standing on my brain! Looking great! But in this case you would have found the skin in OFF already - get yourself the free IRFANVIEW and browse through more than 3.400 skins - could save you a lot of work - and you'd be amazed what there all is! http://www.irfanview.de/ .

Sure it was a "P" - not a "B"? Cause Walter Blume, Jasta 9, had an emblem like this:

It would have been of great help, if you had posted that pilot photo with the name?

Yeah, Anti-Virus programs are not as intelligent as one might desire...

You devs seem to eliminate a lot of "bad habits" - great to hear! With this lesson of waiting patiently, I can easily apply in any Zen Buddhist Temple. Who needs 7 years in contemplation, who needs to solve his Koans, when he can easily wait for OFF II for two never-ending weeks? (Mmuahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!!! ) .

Deep in his heart he is a romantic, I guess.

You guys could always disconnect from the internet, and then switch off your Anti-Virus. Or - if you know how to do that: you allow "OFF Manager", "OFF.dll" and "CFS3.exe" in your AV program.

Nbryant asked me in the "Screenshots" thread, why I don't make more "Allied" skins. Well, I don't fly Entente very much, simply because they don't offer any Albatros. But I remembered a SPAD XIII skin for Esc.48 which I had made long ago. I had actually thought I had uploaded it back then - but I hadn't. Well, now I have. This is a fabric new (pretty clean) SPAD, with all emblems freshly painted on to. So, this skin may disappoint all fans of heavy weathering. Widowmaker - know what I mean? Nudge, nudge? Or perhaps you make your weathering on top of it? However - this skin was made of an OBD skin (Sandbagger's?), so thank you guys for all the amazing wonderful lots of skins you have created! .

Thank you, Shredder - great job, Sandbagger!

I only made an OFF skin more colourful basicly, and added the emblem, which I had found a graphic of in the web. It is all a bit too dynamic and saturised in the colours, but I wanted exactly that. But almost all of this skin was already there (done by Sandbagger, I guess) - I only sent it through the car wash. No, wait, SPAD-wash.

I didn't mean to get cheeky, Tamper, and yes, I see what you mean; and of course one should open the side panel every now and then, and clear all parts from any dust. But my flat is not that dusty, that I find much dust, when I open the PC once every 2 months or so. See, my computer casing is 50 x 50 x 20 cm in size - I wouldn't want to have that on my desk. What I can really recommend is a water pump cooling system for the CPU - works great; no high temps anymore.

In a Nieuport 28 I would not dare to turnfight with the Fokker E.V / D.VIII - but you'd have no other advantage either. Perhaps good team work would be your only chance.

Turn the N 28 with EITHER rudder OR elevator only - gentle turns you don't bank her hard, and there you can use rudder. But combat turns should be done with good energy=speed - bank her hard there and use ONLY elevator to bring her round. Don't try tight turns with too little enery.

Tamper, all the PCs of all people I know - mine included - are high tower cases, standing on the floor under the workdesk. Why should I have that gigantic monster on the table?
