Have tried giving it a good douse of electrical contact cleaner? Has worked wonders for controllers I thought were dead

since cfs3 wont play saying it needs the cd, i'd guess the problem is more with cfs3 and the exe files....or are you able to run vanilla cfs3 3.1a without getting the no disc error?

Don't be too afraid to try the no-cd fix. as long as you backup the original file, using the 3.1a crack isn't as bad as some make it out to be. it is certainly worth trying for sure

That is very interesting and informative! Nice work there Olham

Be it that Im flying in the winter of 1916, I have often been facing some rather unpleasant weather: clouds, rain, snow, fog, sleet, etc. I do experience an occasional flickering or disappearing and reappearing cloud from time to time. Nothing that is too much of a bother, but is there a graphical override setting I can set so that the clouds don't do this? I recently upgraded my video card from a 9800 gtx to a 460 gtx but both have displayed this occasional quirk so Im guessing its not the video card. Or is it perhaps the result of some corrupted file in OFF? Again, not a major issue, but just curious if anyone else has run into this and if anything can be done about it...

Im very impressed with those cockpits. Wasnt sure P4 would be much of an upgrade, but I am glad to see that isnt the case. I especially love the Albatrosses. Looks fantastic devs!

Now, fly for 6 months or so, then try going back to just the hat switch. It will hurt! Close to having to fly with just a keyboard after using a joystick!

Well at least they get credit for thinking outside of the box and trying new things... a little credit anyways!

Olham, those are some great shots.

Thanks a ton! I'll try those out. Good to know I am not the only one at least!

Very well done!

No white triangles with trackir?! must be nice. any one know what settings to use, or if even possible, to achieve that with an nvidia card? It'd be nice not to have to imagine those graphic anomalies when looking behind arent the result of a flying scarf!

Very interesting film

So I take it you guys aren't too enamored with the fixed cockpit ladder?

if you werent before, try using windows update for it and not downloading from the MS webpage. or so they advise....

Good thing he didn't use any semi colons! :)

Been digging around and cant find the UI box to switch off the shadows around the airfields. I think I've seen it and the link for it before but don't know where it is however. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Thanks. Ill take a look at those.

Has anyone else had the issue where OFF wont load from the manager to the actual flying while having Firefox up in the background? Granted, it's not an issue to close out Firefox while playing, but I thought it rather interesting that they don't seem to get along on my PC. This also leads to speculation that when (very rarely) the OFF manager doesnt respond after a sortie, perhaps its some background program conflict as well...

If you havent done so already, perhaps limit the frame rates? Locking at 30 got rid of the stutters for me

Have you tried disabling the UAC completely when flying? With the UAC on in Vista I was always told to reinstall OFF. Turn it off, and no issues at all.

Gadwin's Printscreen is a great little program which is both very lightweight and highly customizable. http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/

Alright give it up. Politics make this forum very unpleasant to visit. So do I have to bash Rise of Flight for someone to stop the ugliness here?

I've been trying to accomplish some snap rolls when flying, but unable to do so with my Alb. Early III. Does anyone have any advice as to how to do these? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the responses guys. BH, that was what I was looking for as I am not too concerned with maintaining control but rather just making the plane change direction fast. Snap rolling a Fee would be something to see! It already seems extremely fragile in just straight and level flight as is!
