That is definitely the problem, beagle. When the stuff was released, the devs had pointed out repeatedly, that the install- and patching order had to be followed strictly. You will learn from this, and you'll see how fine everything will work then. The button "Reset OFF Manager" can (in an okay install) cure several known manager problems. The "Reset CFS3" button seems to do more fundamental CFS3 things (never needed that one). But, as you said: you will loose your pilots; at least with the first button. beagle, I don't seem to have you in our "OFF Pilots Maps" yet? If you send me a PM with your town and country, I'll add you there.

Bullet, I must say you have a very interesting life. You see more in one year than other people may see in their whole life. Good that there are people like you to help.

That should be working okay then, I guess.

Beware of the Hun from the Sun ! Viktoria!

Bullet, I made the experience (after RABU's advice), that it is important, that TrackIR cam is not too close to the reflectors. I use a bit more than 15 inches distance now. That means, I installed the TrackIR cam even behind the monitor. Since I did, I never had strange things happening anymore. Thanks, RABU!

As far as I understand, you must install OFF and HitR and ALL the patches in one go, BEFORE you fly the first mission. You should follow the installation guide on the OFF website exactly. And yes, you still need the 1.47 patch. See "Installation & Graphics" here - it may be a bit long, but make sure to read it all - it helps: http://overflandersfields.com/FAQ.htm

Damn, good you saw this, Tuba! I post so many files, that I must clear up my attachment space occasionally, and this time I deleted the profile accidently. I have attached it again now in post #1.

Never smoked fortunately (the first one just tasted too awful), but I liked drinking wines and beer. Occasionally I still miss beer (especially on hot summer evenings), and red wine - mostly when I am having Italian meals. But the benefits of not drinking win every time. My mom was teasing me with a 25 year old single malt whisky she got for her 80th birthday. Oh yeah, I remember the taste, but go away, devil! Maybe when I get 80 I'll buy me one.

Congratulations, Lou! I know it IS hard after the early successes. What program do you follow, if I may ask?

How very practical! I've been to Paris several times, but they don't seem to have that anymore. The ingame map is still a leftover from CFS3, as far as I know. The first or second preview movie revealed a very different-looking Campaign Manager map. So I hope they also changed the ingame map. If you fly in Alsace with it's many lakes, you'd be surprised how close they all are! I even once noted the longitude and latitude of a road/railway crossing near one end of a lake, and checked it in Google Maps - and it was there, only just slightly offset by less than a kilometer! Wise man! This pilot was pretty new, so I didn't give a damn - I had to let off steam after 5 days of web design training. I never do this with my real Campaign Pilots.

"April 1917. Jasta 28w received several of the new Albatros D.III. Franz (Ray) painted his one all black, as he he wanted to appear sinister and bad. In fact he is rather the opposite. I have still to fly the D.II - I may receive a D.III with the next delivery. Our morning sortie should have been a defensive patrol over Baiseux aerodrome. But we didn't get there. Still circling our field after takeoff, we got under attack by 3 silvergrey British Nieuports with Lewis guns. Three of them jump a whole flight of 12 Albatros! Is that courage or insanity? However - we must never carry the fight to the Englishmen - they come over and bring it to us. This time it didn't earn them any laurels - it cost their lives. We shot down all three. Mahler from my Kette had to put down his shot-up bird. But he was only lightly injured. Tango is a close dance, but this one was by far too close! I'm asthonished that we had no collision."

Today I visited Johannisthal, the cradle of German aviation. The Wright Brothers had a workshop here, and here Max Immelmann learnt flying. If you'd like to see my photos and report - here is the link: http://simhq.com/for...tml#Post3647772

Guys, I had meant my last post serious. If they take photos from a military base, to build their game as real as possible - then they would have visually opened a restricted area to the public eyes. And that is definitely forbidden.

Hey, you shouldn't enjoy the "Little Italy" Campaign all by yourself, Brandybuck! Me want fly too! My Albatros, my precious... my birthday present...

Well, if they were working for ArmA, then they were actually spying out the installations of Greece. And they would have attached them openly for all to see, in the next ArmA version. A delicate matter...

Ah, that's where the rant about "scrambles" originated! Label? The buildings have "Labels"? Didn't know that.

No, I guess that's the Pantheon. The Absinthe Factory is right beyond, the many chimneys. Here are two "Green Fairies" for you - I guess you'll pick the right one.

Von Paulus, I sent you a PM.

It wasn't meant respectless against the Greek, von Paulus. Maybe most Europeans don't know this, but Germany is also pretty much on the down way. More and more people are unempoyed, or they have jobs with earnings that don't cover the spendings. Economic growth cannot go on forever, and I think we have long passed the vertex of the curve. Germany cannot save Europe. And if Europe goes down, Germany will go down too. Simple plain truth (which no one admits).

I hope this is not a bizzare attempt of Greece trying to balance their budget??? We live in crazy times...

Seems the 'Champs-Elysées' were much quieter back then - today the Arc de Triumphe is surrounded by an endless circle of cars.

Close-on and good quality - enjoy!

I am stunned! This looks like a high detail first class plastik model, larger than 1:24 even - I wanna paint it! So I understand for low-poly builds, you would find it harder to gain the correct-looking shape, and to join things correct-looking.

This is a question to JFM; I have found a book by you at AMAZON, which isn't available yet, about the Albatros D.I and D.II. Have you gone deeper into the subject than the previous Osprey books? Will there be new info and photos in there?

You lucky man - the book is already a rarity now here - I saw two second hand ones for over 100,- Euro on AMAZON! But I also got it early enough.
