Hello there, everyone. As some of you may know, I have been flying on 'Auto-Rudder' up until now, as I have had no pedals or twist function on my joystick. I decided to fix this, as I have gotten fed up with having no power over my rudder. Therefore, I made this. It's made up of spare pieces of wood and chipboard I found around the house, and an old joystick I bought of £4 in a charity shop where I live. I think it works pretty well - the only issue I have is that I need to invert the axis to make it turn the correct way. I know I could solve this by turning the actual joystick around by 180 degrees, but I was wondering if I could do it on the computer in OFF. Here's a picture of it:

Thanks guys. And it's not that I'm broke, it's just that I prefer to make things myself rather than have to go out and buy one. Sure, it may not look great, but it works well enough for me.

Ah, I wondered when a trailer would be released. I live very close to where they filmed the scenes in the countryside. A friend of mine went up there when they were filming and have took some photographs of the set, which I can see if I can find, if anyone's interested?

Ok, so today I felt like trying some editing that was a little different, so I present to you an alternative front cover for the OFF: BH&H disk case! I like how this turned out, and I'm quite proud of it. It is in fact made up of three separate screen shots, the PC DVD-ROM tag, and the title at the bottom. If you saw that in a shop, would you buy it?

Wow, Olham, you seem to have managed to reply to my post while I was editing the cover out of it. What are the chances, eh? But many thanks for the comments! I always appreciate ideas on how to improve - especially from someone who is actually a professional in the subject. Perhaps I will have another go some time. We'll see.

Many thanks on the comments everyone! And if a competition was to take place, I would be sure to make an entry.

I normally use Paint Shop Pro 6 for simple jobs (like that screenshot), but for more complicated jobs I use GIMP, as it has a lot of the filters Photoshop does. And that was a fine job sir, well done! I have yet to force an enemy to land alive.

It really is a beautiful sim... Especially after you force 16xQ anti aliasing. But I have to had it to the dev's - you really did a fantastic job of transforming the CFS3 engine. Just had to try some editing too...

The FOV is the Field of View, and I presumed that it depends on your computer monitor's aspect ratio. I might be incorrect, but I thought it was how far you could see around you, not away from you, like 180 degrees, for example. But this is just what I think it is, so I would wait for someone to confirm or reject this. There's a Wikipedia page on it here: Click me!

You're welcome! And I'm talking about three years ago, back when I used to play it online - in fact, three years ago I would have been the same age as your son. I didn't really play the game, but I made maps for it instead. And if you're not sure if it was you (or your son) then I guess it couldn't have been you, as I remember watching a video by him some time ago. So, unless you have forgotten making a video, I must have been mistaken.

Sir, that is a very nice Camel you have yourself there. I really love the effect that you have on the wings, the way they're almost mottled and look worn - very effective, to say the least. And just something I've been wondering, (which is off topic) but UK_Widowmaker, are you the same guy that used to play Star Wars Battlefront 2 - the legendary sniper that was praised by literally everyone? Sorry for how strange that question is, but I've been wanting to ask that ever since I saw your username.
