Anyone tried these DM after patching up to 1.32c - please report!

I don't ewen hav anny rocketz? Had I rocketz, I could blow zee crumpetz to ze moon!!! Mmuahahahahaaaa!!!!

Emile - the first thing to go to is "Workshops" in the left low corner. There go to "Graphics config", then to "File", then to "Change display options". There you may find the lowest setting (800 x 600) or a higher one than your monitor can do. Set the right resolution, click "OK" and leave by clicking "exit". This will change itself again unfortunately, and you must remember to look into that every new start of OFF. Please report if it worked.

Well, depends also on the "Player guns only" settings, I think. Got mine set to "normal". My best pilot's average I think is 22 %

Must be great blasphemy for all Star Trek fans - a good laugh for me though!

The best game I played, before OFF so rudely interrupted me, was S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl. Very good athmosphere. The follow-up, "Clear Sky" was okay, but could have been greater. FallOut 3 looks really good - much in the direction of the above.

Fly zig zag criss cross - never straight for longer than half a minute. Flak wants to kill you. And by 1918, they aren't beginners anymore.

Winder and Pol, have a nice holiday! May your strained nerves recover to the best. I wish you the desired wheather for whatever you'll do. And come back safe and well. Olham

Yup! But a WW2 Liberator only LOOKS more solid - in fact the most was rather thin alloy. And a Flak burst near the fuselage could have badly hit everyone in the craft. (Ever seen "Catch 22" - the scene in the Mitchell bomber?)

Central heating in his face mask? Or is it an early headphone cable? There is a cable going to the cockpit - does anyone know what it is?

Found these at the great picture website www.earlyaviator.com Enjoy!

Vogel, see the thread "OFF Pilots Map" later today - I will add you in the map now. Go to the first post of that thread and click on the America map - you will be in there in half an hour from now. Have fun!

There must be 32b AND 32c by now, redwolf. Use the 32c then, as Pol said.

Yeah, why not, Winder - easy as easy can be. For getting used to all the other things. Later they will push it higher, cause they want more reality points. Why not, I say.

Gratulation, Herr Carrick, wunderbar! Yes, you can turn with them. When you really need it tight: nose down, bank 50-60°, rudder with the turn. Of course you loose altitude, which you must try to regain somehow. But that way I have often turned into a Nupes curve and plastered her. And once they are hit, they loose a lot of their prima-ballerina dancing! My Jasta 1 pilot in Vivaise, May 1917, often returns alone. But none of the Nupes do. Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

You're the same as me there - you see so much potential in here, so much to try and do, that it may well last for two more years at least. Where are you in your best campaign?

I think it was Creaghorn, who did such Jasta - changing, but unfortunately he is on holidays.

Okay! Of course I have the Super-Patch on - so I'll only need v1.32c Excuse the question, but you guys come up with new patches quicker than I can install the previous ones. (I'm only quick in my Albatros).

Vogel, perhaps you fly German side first - they don't cross the lines often, and you might even use "time advance" to avoid any such mission. And please PM me your hometown and country - I would like to add you to the OFF Pilots map.

Will you use it in an American Squad., Jim?

Someone had done it, I thought. Copied the whole pilot's log and wrote the new Jasta in it and saved it. I think it was so easy. Anyone any knowlwdge here?

I have tested the "new" SPAD XIII today. So far I can say, that you can dare to turn with an Albatros DVa or a Pfalz DIIIa now, but not with Fokker Dr.1 or DVII. What worked very well for change of direction, was the high turn. You zoom up after very steep after a dive (50 - 60 °), and when she gets slower, give full rudder. She'll turn her nose down and opposite direction without problems. Similar to the Pfalz, I could do the tightest turns better without use of rudder - I left it centered. If you want to turn with rudder, you shouldn't bank more than ca. 50° and use rudder in turn direction. If you bank steeper with rudder use, you may stall sidewards. Her overall behaviour was so much better, that I feel encouraged to fly a campaign with her. But she is very reactive on elevator, which makes aiming/shooting trickier than in my Albatros. Anyway - many of you, who had thought about flying her: try it now! It's fun now! And with 200 PS (horsepower), you have a very strong plus!
