Thank you all! I have made some improvements and uploaded the new picture. Mainly I have removed some of the structure of the background as far as I could. I'm glad that some of you like it - the Tripe is a great aircraft.

Oh dear! So you did the new install? Everything back at "normal"?

Duke, you cannot simply save the pilot folders; there's more to it. But often you do not need to de- and re-install. Often the buttons "Reset OFF Manager" and maybe also "Reset CFS3" will give you a "new" OFF. But: you will loose your campaign pilots that way too.

Okay, I think I have halfways understood this in theory. Basically, it seems to mean that some seemingly 'correct' width:height ratio settings would still distort the perspective view more than other 'correct' width:height ratio setups? Now I'd still like to see the 3 best (least distorting) choices for my 1680:1050 screen (as I said, I don't have EXCEL and can't use your calculator).

No idea what's wrong there, rjw??? 77Scout, he did have the railyard assigned.

Well, Lothar said "after your attack..." - maybe you need to bomb the place first?

Well, maybe it's beyond my understanding - after all I came to the same numbers as you, didn't I? For my monitor (1680 x 1050) I use a FoV of 24:15.

As far as I know, you must possibly press "A" for each flyer. At least with my settings, when I want my flight to attack mid air targets, I must do so. You can watch that. Press "A" only twice, and two men will go. Press it again once, and the next one will attack. During my ground attacks (which I do very rarely) they did attack. As for the bomb load I do not know - the Albatros doe never carry bombs.

Lothar, please see my answer in the other thread and see, that my calculations are not uncorrect. Please stop repeating this.

Lothar, I'm sorry I had made a typo - it must be 1680 : 1050. I have made my calculations again with my own formula (see the other thread), and I get the same results as you have with your method. So my way wasn't wrong. But it's nevertheless great for those insecure in calculating maths themselves, to have your EXCEL calculator.

Sorry, Lothar, but wether I use your numbers or calculate them in my way - the result remains the same for my resolution. (I had made a typo for my own monitor - my res is 1680 x 1050 - sorry for that) Here is my simple formula for verticals 19, 17, 15 and 14: 1050 : 19 = 55,263 1680 : 55,263 = 30,4 Rounded result: 30 : 19 1050 : 17 = 61,765 1680 : 61,765 = 27,19 Rounded result: 27 : 17 1050 : 15 = 70 1680 : 70 = 24 Result: 24 : 15 (clean - not rounded) 1050 : 14 = 75 1680 : 75 = 22,4 Rounded result: 22 : 14 But it's great anyway, that you have made a calculator for all those who are unsure about maths. (...and have EXCEL)

You have made an interactive calculator? Does it work even if I don't have Excel? (Just in case it doesn't: my res is 1980 x 1050 pixels. I'm really bad at math - perhaps you can calculate me two or three FoV with vertical 15 or 16 among them?)

With "normal" I mean "normal objective" (for cameras). Wide angle lenses distort the view badly. My FoV settings are just for zooming more in or out - without distortion. Works fine for me.

This Wikipedia FoV formula seems to go from wide-angle lense to tele-lense rather. If you want a "normal" relationship of width to height, just follow my simpler formula. (See previous side).

The best might be to check for the exact monitor name/type you use, which resolution it has. You should then choose that resolution, Hellshade - it wouldn't make sense to use another. For avoiding ingame distortion in OFF, it is then necessary to set the FoV (Field of View) right. But that can only be calculated correctly with the correct screen resolution.

At least you are ready for WOFF - congrats!

Good you're alright! Thanks for the reminder - I must mark it in my calendar! These two weeks - I ever seem to be forgetting, when...

Hope you're alright and recovering, Tranq. Take your time for the ones you love - WOFF may distract you enough from them one soon day.

No, I have a better guess, rjw - Widowmaker is an angler, and the way he wrote 'damp' makes me imagine he fell into a brook with it - Mmuahahahahahaaaa!!!!

Perhaps we can look at it another way. Like: Windows 8 is for those who want the same surface as on their tablets and SmartPhones. It must not be the only version everyone should have. I guess I will carry on with Windows 7 - I have no tablet nor SmartPhone.

Mmuahahahahahaaaa!!!! I know, Lou - that's your way of telling me, that you liked it. (Damn, I have still not get used to that 'greasy grin' of your avatar - Mmuahahahahaaaa!!!!)

Lothar, you're a good salesman - your marketing is tireless.

I'm not an expert at all; I can only tell, that OFF is running fine on my Windows 7. I recommend to make the essential updates every now and then, to give Microsoft the chance to improve their product. No problems here. As for AntiVirus Protections: everyone should make sure he is only using ONE; and to have the "gaming mode" or "fullscreen mode" activated in his/her AV. That will cause those programs to postpone all non-essential tasks; and that will make a sim run much smoother.
