Hello all. I just loaded OFF for the first time a few days ago and I'm happy to say (although I do feel a bit guilty) that it seems to be running fine...and it is truly spectacular IMHO - from the fabulous models and skins, to the amazing ground and weather detail, to the wonderful sound of the MGs with their delicious rattle! I've barely scratched the surface in 3 days, of course, and if I never had another chance to run OFF again I'd have to say I'd already have gotten my money's worth.
So, I've been getting my feet wet in the QC missions and the only error message I see consistently is a CFS3 one regarding 'populating the airfield'. I assume it is either because I'm selecting AC's that are inappropriate for the date selected and or it's because I am starting at 2500 feet. If neither assumption is correct please let me know.
I've been unable to resolve a few other items and would be very grateful for a little helping hand:
1. I love the snow and rain graphics and have been trying to set my QC missions to include them, however despite setting the season overide to winter and the season type overide to full snow I'm lucky to see precipitation in one out of five QC's. I think I've done everything I can with respect to the workshop settings as well. So is there a trick?
2. Is there an outside view for the player-flown AC? I'd like to record dogfights and replay them from the outside view perspective.
3. Sometimes when I enter 3D the screen is red and my AC is already in a death spiral. Why? What can I do to avoid that predicament? Is there a means for circumventing the task of recruiting a new pilot every time this happens or generally speaking, for that matter? Is there an 'unlimited pilots' setting to enable somewhere in the GUI?
