Olieslagers and Thieffry's Nieuport 11, and two basic Belgian skins can be chosen in OFF. You find them at the top of all Nieuport skins. I wonder - did anyone here ever fly as a Belgian? .

It will be a new, stand-alone sim; you'll only need CFS3 for some basic data. All new stuff from BH&H and HitR will be included.

Dead simple, really, Carrick: 1. If you are over the crash site of an opponent's plane, you pause. 2. Then you open your inflight map. 3. Now you read the data for longitude and latitude in the top right corner of the map. 4. After flying, you write them into the search frame of Google Maps and press "Enter". 5. There you are! This is a great feature in OFF - these data do constantly change with your course - and they work. Fly over a big lake, note the data and write them into the frame of Google Maps. You will get a map of the area, and most often, there will be a similar lake in it. Looks even better in "Satellite View". Zoom and, and you see where you've just been.

Geeze - so many Voss-alikes! Quite a big family! Thanks for posting, Tony!

Thanks, Mike! Will try that.

"Vott? P4?? OFF course I need P4! (Blubber ! Boil !! Steam !!!) Le Grand Mac??? Iss zatt enemy code?" Yes, call me crazy - but you like it, don't you? Want more? Here comes another crash site I just checked. The combination of a WW1 victory site with this modern style photo text brings it so close, it almost makes me shudder. I mean, after all, the events like that are only 95 years ago.

Ah!! Thank you, JFM. Didn't I say, he looked quite well?

I was just asking me the same - where do I find the record?

After a fine fight against some SPAD VII from Escadrille 75, we got jumped at by no less but 9 more of them. There were obviously several aces in that squadron, and they kicked our butts. I was forced to put my damaged Albatros down near a country road east-southeast of Sivry-sur-Meuse. That was between the villages Moirey-Flabas-Crépion and Beaumont-en-Verdunois, at the road D125, as I could see in Google Maps. I could even walk along the site with that golden Google mannikin from Google Street View, and so I took a picture. Now it is a ploughed field in Google, while I landed on a meadow. But the invironement looked much like the real area in OFF. I love checking, where something happened. If you note the longitude and latitude from the inflight map, you can type that into Google Maps, and you'll get the site where you had been in OFF. I love it!

Ah, you mean, FRAPS can give me the average frps I had during a whole mission? Never tried that. Must check it.

Don't know that "app", but to get better frps, I recommend the following: 1. Set "Scenery Detail" (in "Graphics Config") on 2 or even on 1 2. Set "Terrain Detail" on 3 or even on 2 3. Set "Ground object density" on "medium" or even "low". None of this will make your OFF look bad. As far as my experience goes, "Clouds" are not so much the problem, but you could try out the difference between Clouds on "5" and on "3" - just to check that.

Wow - they were made of stern stuff! Rest in peace, Flo - only now, the Great War is really over.

Thought I'd have some quiet flying for the evening, and so I activated my Jasta 19 pilot at Buhl-Lorraine, Alsace. Well, that was miles off - those Frenchies there gave me a hard time! Although we literally jumped them, they turned with the speed and grace of swallows, and I really had to earn my victory. Then - don't halloo 'till you're out of the wood! - came their ace! He had been waiting in the glaring sun. He shot me up, it was hell. I saw a fireball overtaking me and I thought "Hey, what's that? A meteor?" But it was my own Daimler Benz engine, which he had shot out of it's compartment!!! Well, I made it gliding down and landing in one piece, thanks to Helmut Kranich - my wingman save the rest of my Albatros and me. Who said, Alsace was quiet? Not in my sector, in June 1917!!!

"Mmuahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!!!"

This should be a heart-warming sight for you, Lou - maybe you missed it last time. The blipswitch in action...

Yeah - and what did the Mayas know about OBD Software! Huh!! Maybe the end of the world could be contracepted by Winder and Pol, working well into the night on their latest ideas and improvements, so that the "End of the world" would simply dissolve? Well, not 'simply' - it is never simple to stop the "End of the World" of course - we all know how hard the devs' work on P4 is! And here at last a song from "Aphrodite's Child", that comes close to the feeling of it - the "End of the World" (better beware and keep your hand at the volume knob! Mmuahahahahahahaaaa!!!!!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr-mBRIYMUU

Great example for a good business idea! And that even war couldn't wipe out British humour. Wonderful!

What about the end of the Maya calendar - and thereby the whole world? Will P4 come out before that - or after??? Questions over questions! Our reporters do their best to solve them! Stay tuned!

??? (Completely bonkers, those crumpets - all gone nuts, obviously! What they send over the lines these days... Tch!)

Blackbaron, the new OFF will really be released in 2 weeks. But the devs never tell, which two weeks that are. Also used quite often are the terms: soon; quite soon; or "in the near future".

Great news, Hauksbee!

Okay, thanks, Siggi.

Lou, if you make your future requests a little less wordy, you would sure save them devs some time, I guess. Mmuahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!! By the way - when you are leader of B-flight, the fellers do NOT take off, before you do. At least my well disciplined German pilots don't. They wait patiently, until Pappi has stowed his breaktime snacks and his thermosflask with hot coffee. Well, maybe not totally patient - they often roll forward a notch, as if to give me a hint, that they want to go chasing some Englishmen.

VSync - is that the same as "Vertical refresh"? Or where must I look for that? Couldn't find it in OFF Graphics Settings?
