Started flying "Full DiD" again, with additional measures
Hauksbee replied to Olham's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
If I might impose on your good nature, Olham, I'd love to have a copy of the Bavarian Albatros too. I already have the coolest Albatros in RoF, but to have the coolest Albatros in OFF would render me invincible. -
Song in a YouTube Video causes nausea to me
Hauksbee replied to Olham's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Bad news, Olham. I just checked the link you provided and the video (music and all) is still there. -
Just got "Cliffs of Dover". When I launch it, all goes well until I hit the "FLY" button, at which point the game goes away and I'm left looking at my Wallpaper. I can hear the audio, and there's a small, pale blue rectangle in the upper left corner saying "IL-2 Sturmovik, Cliffs...". But that's it. I can see in the bottom tool bar that "Cliffs..." is running. Anybody know what I'm overlooking? And...does this happen to anyone else?

OT-Cliffs of Dover no video...
Hauksbee replied to Hauksbee's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
There is that possibility. I tried turning off 'Full Screen' and turned 'Level of Detail" to 'Very Low'. Now when I try to fly, in addition to sound, I have a much reduced screen that's completely black instead of disappearing altogether. I guess that's progress...of a sort. -
Pushing OFF to the Limits with Older Systems:

Outstanding screen shots. Especially the top one. -
OT-Cliffs of Dover no video...
Hauksbee replied to Hauksbee's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Thanks. I'll give it a shot. Just back from trying. No go. I still get audio, but no picture. -

I just downloaded the patch...opened it with WinRAR and the file was corrupt. There was some mission data, but no installer. While hunting for the patch, I visited about four other sites first and discovered that my problem was just one of many different glitches and malfunctions. There's a lot of unhappy folks out there. I think I'll just shelve it for a while. -
So there's the word...straight from the top. So it's going to be at least two weeks. Maybe a little more.

Ooops! Some don't even need Enemies

Or perhaps he just wanted to park it in the shade. -

Here's what I'm running at the moment" Intel® Core™ 2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz 2.83GHz / 8.00Gb RAM / NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT How does that look to you? -
A Small Suggestion For OFF2 P4
Hauksbee replied to RAF_Louvert's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
There's two of us now. Of course, I only fly Quick Combat so I've never gotten into the complexity of Campaigns. But there are times when I'll climb into an RoF plane for a Quick Mission, specify "No Enemy Planes" and just fly around because everything looks so good. -

Hard to say. The only real identifying feature is the shape of the rudder. Looking though a few books, I'd put my money on Aviatik B.I or B.II (if it was the Aviatik, my book says German air crews nicknamed it "Gondola" because they rocked back and forth at the slightest turbulence.) Second possibility could be a...well, there is no good second choice. The other contenders, based on rudder shape (Rumpler, L.F.G.) all had a rear gunner position, which I'm not seeing here. -

When this thread started, I knew I had a similar hard luck picture squirreled away in a folder...somewhere. I finally found it. (and he's definitely not British!) -
A lot of interesting film footage - even without understanding the language
Hauksbee replied to Olham's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Great stuff. But what is that tiny, narrow-gauge railway that we see at the beginning of the top film? I saw similar ones at various times in the film. They are always on top of the ground (as opposed to in a trench) and completely unprotected. -
Song in a YouTube Video causes nausea to me
Hauksbee replied to Olham's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Well, I lodged a protest at YouTube, ineffectual as it may be. There was no place I could find that really addressed the issue, or where I could create a good rant. There was only "Flag this as inappropriate" which then revealed a drop-down menu that gave five or so choices, the best of which was "Promotes Terrorism" which isn't exactly the point. Then I had to sign up for YouTube, create a Personal Channel in order to be able to post a comment. All that for 500 characters. Barely enough to get started. For what it's worth, here's the mini-rant: "Someone should catch up with MrHEILDEMFURHER1 and slap him upside the head. If you're the sort of person who enjoys voting and free speech, personal liberty, and such like, then it's time to take a stand against the new "Nazi Creep", which is the tendency to see the Nazis as colorful, but tough, adversaries in a war fought long ago, but otherwise harmless." Check the name of the bozo who posted the original video. -

Can you give us a URL at YouTube where we can second you message? I'll vote against the 'Horst Wessel Lied'. -

I recall reading somewhere that the Blip Switch had a dark side. When the switch was in the 'off' position, the engine continues to rotate and fuel/castor oil mix (now unburned) is ejected onto the inside of the cowling. When the switch is turned back on, the magneto spark, or backfire, could blow the cowl off, or set the plane on fire. Is this true?

Am I the only person who's TrackIR drives him crazy? When TrackIR works it's a joy, when it doesn't, I'm climbing the walls. Every time I go to use it, I expect to have to tweak something.(the Track Clip Pro has moved when I set down the headphones, or the cat has bumped the camera) I adjust them, and hit the F12 key to center. But as soon as I move my head, it all goes wonky. Pitch (up and down) is usually pretty good, but Yaw (side-to-side) wallows all over the place. The slightest turn of my head to the left sends the view reeling off into the upper left quadrant, while movement to the right drops way down into the bottom right quadrant. Again, sometimes, the whole 360 degree sphere is visible. Sometimes just part of it because I'm inside it, sometimes I'm outside. What drives me crazy is that when it works I don't know what I did right, and when it doesn't, I don't know how to solve the problem. I adjust the Track Clip Pro, fiddle with the camera, move my seat, moved forward and/or back from the monitor, adjusted the tilt of the flat screen monitor it sits on, turned off all lights in the room and I’m using a profile Olham sent me.(which worked great for a while) I even went into Control Panel and deleted the TrackIR 4 software assuming that there might be a conflict with 5.0. (tho' I guess not. Nothing changed.) This morning I downloaded the latest software which included a complete uninstall/re-install. I'm even using a whole new camera/Track Clip Pro which I got for a friend (my computer guy) for Christmas and it turned out his favorite game doesn't support TrackIR. So when I told him of my problem, we thought it might be my camera and he loaned me his. I'm fresh out of options.

TrackIR goes strange...still
Hauksbee replied to Hauksbee's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Couldn't find a v.5.1 disc, so I had to use the 4.1 and then download 5.1 from Natural Point. But Tanks anyway; I still intend to check out your profile. -
In the film "Enigma" (code-breaking at Bletchley) there's a scene at a boarding house dinner table where one fellow claims to have read in the newspapers that, as a special wartime measure, a new "Utility" style of knickers have been invented. One Yank, and they're off.

Ah Jaysus! I've stepped in the deep puddle this time! If only I'd listened to Gandalf! (Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.) -
It is also said that Jesus is coming back, but I'm not staying up nights.
