Hi, I have finally got OFF and got it installed without a hitch. After a few abortive early campaigns learning how the game works and getting used to the quirky CFS3 interface, I finally have a guy who has survived a few missions in his Pup and has 5 Hun kills awaiting confirmation. However, I still have a couple of questions re. the game. How do you activate the straight & level autopilot I have heard about? Can you manually clear gun jams, or is it automatic? How do you reload guns in-flight (if possible)? Also, on EVERY operational mission I have flown so far I have always encountered an enemy formation conveniently located along our flight path or over an objective......seems incredibly lucky to me. Does the mission editor always script that you'll encounter an enemy squadron on a mission? I hope not, I'd quite like to be able to put a "nothing to report" entry into the logbook instead of kill claims every flight. Other than the above, great game! Oh btw........are there any essential MODs I should get? (excluding the HITR expansion)

Yep, I know you can't reload the Vickers. Its just the planes with a Lewis gun I was wondering about. Re. the auto pilot, I just want to know out of curiosity (and the fact I might want a cuppa mid-flight!)

Hi, 1st post here. I really want to buy this game as I've been looking for a good WW1 flight sim since my old copy of RB2 stopped working after I installed Win7. However, I notice that Phase 4 is under development. If I buy the current Phase 3 version of the game will I have to buy the game again when Phase 4 is released or will it be a free upgrade? Should I hold off buying the game until Phase 4 is released (whenever that is)? Thanks for any help.

Does anyone know what the best place to find this book is?

Good, I was getting bored of IL-2s MP to be honest. I just want to get back to a decent SP campaign similar to the Red Baron series. Anyway.....I've ordered it now so fingers crossed it arrives soon.

Thanks for the advice, I'll get my credit card out then lol! One more question...would you say OFF is better than Rise of Flight for immersion. RoF's graphics look better, but I never judge a game on graphics alone.
