has the ability to change change the fuel loadout been changed with the latest patch? on the mission ive just flown i was unable to change it.

im havin problems manually skipping waypoints. default key is shift + w which doesnt work. ive tryed changing it to another key but still no joy. any ideas?

its not only a seperate partition OFF is installed on, its a seperate harddrive which hasnt had OFF installed on it before so im certain there cant be any files left over.

guys, ive never had OFF or CFS3 installed on this partition so there defo isnt any old files + my OS is set to uk. i dug through this forum and found a thread on page 15 or so from a guy who has a similar spec to myself, he listed the way his game is set up which ive copied. ive since flew a mission which thankfully didnt crash so heres hopin ive finally nailed this problem.

alright just found another error although im not sure if its related to my crash issues. just tried to enlist a fighter pilot in jasta 1, 8th May 1917. got the following OFF Manager message. the mission then had me in an EIII which was the wrong plane.

nah my memory upgrade was weeks ago. its not ctds, i get a message appear that the program has stopped responding and i have to close it with task manager. i dont run in admin or xp mode, i just load the game up normally. i have some games where i need to load in compatibility mode mode to get them runnin but not this one. should i be loadin it with admin and compat mode?

ok where to start. heres the log from the latest crash, cant seem to attach the other xml file though to this post though, you reckon that file could show more clues to why this is happening? im runnin windows 7 64 bit on a new partition so theres no way its detectin a previous install cos there hasnt been one till now. defo not hardware related, only had this ram for a few weeks and no other games are crashing. i did suspect it could be win 7 but then i read one of the devs for OFF sayin hes been runnin win 7 64 bit for months with no probs. can anyone confirm if the overall slider (or any of them) affect the AI?

hehe yeah sorry bout that, i was just really pissed off after it crashing again. im playin with dead is dead rules for immersion and have invested a fair bit of time in these 2 missions that have crashed. my main reservations bout turnin down the settings are firstly, the 5 setting for clouds is needed so that the AI cant see through clouds and secondly, ive read that reducing the settings also reduces the AI. id be more likely to believe the settings are to high if i was havin low fps issues but as i said the frame rates were locked at 35 and they were solid, even at the missions start at the airfield. in that log i posted there are a fair few errors regardin skin etc which look a ittle suspect. i dont see anyone else havin such problems however which makes it more strange. and yes, i done a full reinstall.

lol you make it sound as though i have a poor system or maybe i misunderstood you? no probs with other games, maybe armed assault 2 but thats about it. i dont buy into it bein a performance issue, performance was really smooth, solid 35 fps whole mission up until the crash + i wasnt havin these crashes before this expansion.

alright this is gettin a bit annoyin, just spent another 45 mins on a mission, fps was set at 35 and performance was perfect. i decide to warp for the final flight home and another crash, error message "program not responding". had to alt tan out and quit. my settings are, 5,4,3,3,4,5 there were no peformance issues up until the crash. bit gutted i just wasted another 45 mins flight time to be honest. core 2 duo 6750 oc'd to 3400ghz 4gb ram (1066mhz) geeforce gtx 260 896mb win7 64bit

hi, havent fired up OFF in while but after sein this expansion thats been released i jumped in and bought it. 1. i see that the high res graphic options still says that no damage will be displayed. im just curious to know how many people play with the high res option and do they not miss the visible damage to planes? 2. is there any way to lock the frame rates? ive only tried a few quick missions but my fps fluctuates between 30 and 80 which is a little annoying, im sure i remember someone on these forums sayin there was a little program that done exactly that. cheers

i did try hi res but to be honest i never noticed any difference, certainly nothing that made me wanna leave it on high res. back to the normal setting for me.

i only found out about that file cause the ctd error message pointed me to it. il try lowering the graphic settings and startin a new campaign, hopefully it was a one off

it was more for the attention of the devs, im sure they will have a better idea of what the errors in the log mean than us. i did notice a few errors about skins/planes not being loaded, could that be the cause?

hi, im tryin to use as many of the dead is dead settings as possible but the most difficult one to decide on is labels. even on a wide screen 24 inch lcd monitor im findin it really hard to even spot specks in the distance, never mind id them. i figure that it would be easier to spot them in real life as opposed to tryin to find a tiny pixel on a monitor screen. how are you guys usin this feature?

is it only the bullet holes that arent visible on high res, do planes still break up, go on fire etc?

must OFF be fully patched up 1st before installing this expansion or does it include all previous patches for OFF?

how would i go about capping frame rates?

OFF has started to crash whenever i try to change key setttings. i start a missions, press escape to open up the options menu, click keys, then when i assign i key and click ok it doesnt respond! i end up having to alt tab out of the game to close it down. anyone know what could be causing this? i have the latest patch installed.

this done the trick. thanks!

is it just me or is the forum search funtion not working?

yep it workin fine now, cheers erik!

forgive me askin but what did u type to get the search thingy workin, does anything else have to be selected? in most forums u just type a word in search, tick search titles only and u get results but that isnt workin for me here.

stirlings my home town, im sure the lad will do very well!

the high end requirements for OFF for ram are between 2 and 2.5gb of ram for xp. i currently have 2gb of ram but when i open task manager while OFF is running OFF's peak memory usage is only around 400mb. this is true of most of the sims i have, the most ive seen used on task manager is 800mb but most are under 500mb. and yet when i go on most the game forums im told that gettin more ram would improve performance? can someone please tell me if im right about the above, does OFF only use 400mb of ram? if it does then why are the ram requirements way higher?
