What you say is true, I agree. It is however quite interesting that I can find no "hide nor hair" of him since he left Jasta 2. I've explored dates of Feb through April with the other Jastas and he is nowhere to be found!! Best Regards;

I just created my first dds skin and placed it in the skins folder. I then selected this custom skin and started a campaign mission. I was surprised to see that all my squadron mates had the same skin. Is this normal? how do I ensure that my custom skin is assigned to only my craft? Best Regards;

I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this ? what are the significant differences of running OFF on CFS3 vs Hat in he Ring? I use CFS3 but have never used Hat in the Ring. Any insight would be appreciated. Best Regards to all:blink:

I did rename my skin to something unique and then placed it in the skins folder, but still it was assigned to all of the squad. I gather from Beard's comments " even if renamed can turn up in the darndest places" that nobody has clarified what is causing this problem as yet. Von Baur's comments add another complexity to the issue. Geeez!!! It makes you want to leave well enough alone and just enjoy the flight!

I'm already running OFF Phase 3 so I know what you mean. I'm just not sure if I want to add HITR or wait for Phase 4. Thanks for all the insights.

Would it be adviseable to wait until Phase IV of OFF is released before making a decision on purchaseing HITR?

While in external aft view of my aircraft, I decided to zoom in and discovered that I was now looking down the internal length of the aircraft. Has anyone else experienced this? Here is a link to a vid cap showing this. The vid cap is 31.7 mb avi file: https://cid-67d1ed8a435ff2f6.skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?page=play&resid=67D1ED8A435FF2F6!160&authkey=MM*iwgThufQ$ Life is full of surprises!

EEGAD!!! The stuff you guys are doing is amazing!! Here I am adding a personal insignia to a skin for the first time and feeling proud. Now I want to crawl under the table and hide! I would like to see one of your finished crates in video from all angles! Any chance some of your work might make it into the OFF sim skins for the future? Best Regards;

HI BH! Your offer seems very generous. As to why you have not had any requests, I am puzzled. I'm only just looking into skinning and presumed that all the skins in OFF are accurate colour skemes, am I wrong? If I'm wrong, I would suspect that the OFF development team would benefit from your effort. Can you shed any light on the OFF skins colour schemes? I might learn something from this. Best Regards;

To those in the know; Are there likely to be any improvements to flight model characteristics or will it be status quo! Best Regards!

HMMMMM! I'm speechless!! Cudos!

I recently compled a successful mission with two wingmen in my flight. When all of us returned to base and I landed, OFF announced that one of my wingmen did not return. This is faulty in that my wingmen were circling the base as I landed. There was no indication that my wingmen did not land. In fact they never seem to land no matter how long I sit beside the runway. Does anyone have an explanation for this? Is this a bug?

Folks; It seems that my wingman must have flown off for some schnapps and pretzels. He returned three missions later! No idea where he got to! Best regards to all

Thanks for your insight, much appreciated! Have agreat New Year!

Thanks very much for your insight and perception of my experience. It was greatly appreciated. I now fully understand what happed! It's really nice when someone gets right down to the crux of it all as clearly and succinctly as you did.

Thanks Ucleal for your reply. You have made it quite clear you have no concern for the issue and I accept that humbly. However it seems to me that retaining wingmen in a campaign is important to your progress. I can accept that the occurance of the missing wingman occurred. I was just wanting to determine/understand why and thought those who have used the sim longer and more intensely than myself may be able to shed some light on it. I'm inquisitive by nature. Thats how we learn and progress. Best Regards;

Gentlemen thanks for your insights, but if both wingmen were circling the field and one crashed on landing I doubt that it would be reported as "missing in action". Me thinks there is more to this than has so far been explained! I would have expected something like "Crashed on landing" etc. What do you say?

Hi Folks, I could use some help with Trackir. I just installed it the other day and tried it first with CFS3 successfully. I then tried it with OFF successfully. Today I tried to run OFF and it came up without recognizing Trackir, so I trtied it with CFS3 and it worked fine. Does anyone know if there is a specific config file that might be corrupted in OFF that I could fix? I really don't want to re-install OFF fully. I did try the reset buttons in the maintenance section of the workshop but this didn't work for me. I also tried a re-install of the pt32superpatch but this also didn't help. Regards to all; Rob

Yes In using Trackir 4.1 (Build 37). Very sorry for my reference to Trackir 5. I seem to have resolved my problem in that somehow trackir needed to run in administrator mode. CFS3 is in admin mode. I know I was originally running trackir in admin mode when for installed. I do not recall changing it but somehow admin mode was removed. All very confusing stuff and as I get older, and my brain gets weaker, I often suffer from FUZZ mode!!!! Thanks for all the effort.

<br /><br /><br /> I uninstalled OFF and then tried the full install and applied superpatch and 32G mini. Results were that trackir now doesn't work in CFS3 or OFF. Tried removing trackir and re-installing to no avail. I ran trackir and tested head view and it works fine, but it now appears that both sims no longer recognize trackir. I'm still hoping someone has some idea of what to try next. Best Regards

I have noticed on a couple of occasions when I have had five separate claims to submit at one time, I would be advised by the pop-up that my claim was erroneous and would be ignored if I proceeded to submit it. This problem was resoved on both occasions by removing the fifth claim and resubmitting. Any idea why the fifth claim would do this? Is it possible to successfully submit a claim with five separate crafts on it? Best Regards;

I know some member have done Video Captures of OFF aircraft in flight. Can anyone advise me of the following: Is it a built in feature? Do I require any special hardware? Just exactly how is it done. Best Regards to all;

Thanks Flyby PC for the tip. I'll try it.

I just installed Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Padals, disabled ailerons, and elevator in for this device in "Mine" file. Also disabled rudder on "MS Force Feedback 2" joystick in "Mine" file. I now noticed that when flying straight and level, if I let go of the joystick and apply left rudder the aircraft turns and banks left instead of doing a flat turn left. Likewise right rudder results in the same effect. How do I stop the banking effect without having to apply joystick ailerons? I can't seem to achieve a flat turn! Look forward to some help with this if anyone has the answer. Best Regards;

Check Six; not possible to do flat turn. must apply aileron slightly to prevent banking. Rudder pedals alone generate a progressive bank with the Yaw. This condition has been verified by some other forum users.
