Thanks for the greetings and the responses gents! #1: No I only have one dot on the screen. The three dot scenerio came about when the vector expansion was added. Since then the software has not supported the earlier stuff. At least 3.xx and 4.xx didn't. I would be very surprised if 5.xx suddenly does again. At least there is no mention of it at NaturalPoint. If when you run OFF and bring up the task manager it says "combat flight simulator 3" is running then my existing setup should work just fine. But I presume it doesn't. In which case I'm probably s.o.l. #2: Interesting! So it seems that about half the people have this issue and half do not. Some with Nvidia and some with ATI. If that is in fact the case it seems that a solution should be posible. But then maybe it's just that some don't notice it or are not bothered by it. Wouldn't be the first time. I did notice that in the #11 movie on the media page at about 2:30 into it the issue is quite noticable. At least in the Typhoon in vanilla CFS3 it drives me insane. I can't fly it. #3: Ahh I hadn't thought about the wingmens traffic pattern. They do fly a long ways and in a WWI crate that would take some time. uncleal wrote: Yeah, my machine is getting a bit long in the tooth. Being an Athlon XP3200+ with 3 gigs of ram and a 512mb X1650 pro AGP card. I'm figuring it will run BHaH just ok on lower settings. But would probably choke on HitR. Thanks again!

Greetings fellow simmers! I recently picked up CFS3 from the bargain bin with an eye towards getting into O.F.F. And I find I have a few questions if I might. #1, I have TrackIR 1 and I was able to get it working in vanilla CFS3 with the use of TIR Attack v1.6. I see in the FAQ that BHaH and HitR require the newest TrackIR software to work. I assume this is for TrackIR with 6DoF. This is not an option for TrackIR 1. 2.12 is the latest software one wants to use with TrackIR 1. Does anyone know if TrackIR 1 and TIR Attack still works with O.F.F.? #2, I find that the prop disc in certain planes tends to vanish and/or flash when looking straight ahead. It's ok when looking to the sides slightly. Looking through the FAQ it appears that this is a problem in O.F.F. as well. (Maybe even worse since the props are even closer to the eyepoint). Is this the case? Has anyone found a fix or work-around? Maybe a completely transparent prop texture so that it's not so distracting? And third, my wingmen often crash on landing. I find I don't dare let them land for fear they will leave a smoking hole in the runway. Actually this is a particularly troublesome problem for me. CFS2 suffered from this. And it's one of the reasons I swore I'd never buy another microsoft flight sim many years ago. Is this a problem in O.F.F. as well? Thanks in advance for any insight gents! :) Cheers.................Smokin256
