    Hi there Olham,

     

    As you are aware, Bletchley and I did a lot of research as to the Realistic conditions presented in the war, and OFF, and integrating it into the game.

     

    We did recommend the Z key use on initial take off, and I am inlclined to think that without TIR, it may be difficult to see the parameters listed.

     

    As far as the TAC, if you dont have TIR, then you really need something.  Reading "Flying Fury" it was clear that planes could be identified from probably twice the distance that OFF presented, and so even with TIR as adjunct, you are still up against it. Therefor I believe that the settings for the TAC are realistic, and even though the TAC was not recommended, I believe it should be, for the "B" listing.  I couldn't imagine flying to the "A" standard and suriviving in the game more than a couple of outings, especially in Bloody April, or any time in 1918.

     

     

    [[Z] Key Use: Recommended: On initial take off to set aircraft up, and calibrate RPM (See OFF- - General Discussion - Sticky: Survival In the Air Series – OFF

     

     TAC: Recommended: only for those without TIR. TAC should be set to Aircraft and 1 NM. In addition only the lower 60 % of the TAC should be visible, from 930 to 230, so as to allow the pilot to scan ahead through standard view lines or Zoom.

     

    Cheers,

    I think that for many WOFF is going to be a nice treat, but many have found adequate replacements. Lothar's idea will help in filling a bit of a gap, but at some point ( I was hoping this Christmas) it is reasonable to put out a product, even if not perfect. The screen shots look incredible, but I am surprised to see it is more than 2 years now that we have been looking at the great upgrades.

     

    Cheers,

    OK so life's mission has been a crapper this past while for you.

     

    I'm happy because I haven't been shot down in ages. Perhaps its because I'm not flying? Oh well. On Monday my 2004 F 150 went in for a repair. I knew it was going to be expensive ~ $ 2500. I found out that total repairs were likely $ 5200, including brakes, etc. Hmm. So, start looking for newer trucks and think I can trade mine in for ~ $ 5500. Tuesday I had vetted 4 trucks. By 5:00 pm, I found out they had all gone, or just weren't up to scratch. The dealer said they couldn't find anything either. Then, I got a phone call that the trucks engine, was worse than they first thought, when they pulled it all apart. It was toast. New engine cost ~ $ 10,000. Value of my truck = $ 0. When they put it back together so I could drive it of the lot, and maybe even get another month or two out of it, the tension adjusters crapped out, and the engine was really banging. I had to leave on Thursday for work out of town. My wife needs a truck as the family is planning to be at the inlaws for Christmas, some 900 km away, and for our travel trailer, and dirt bikes. Hmm. So, I didn't sleep that night, and got to go to the dentist for a crown prep the next morning. Hmm, fun. After leaving the dentist's I got a phone call. I fairly new F 150 just came in. The fellow who brought it in wanted an upgrade, and he was a wholesaler. He offered me $ 5500 for my F 150. I owed the dealer $ 2000 for the repair. WOW. I'm up $3500. They gave the guy $ 32000 on trade in. They then offered it to me for $ 30,000, which included my trade in, money owing on repairs, and 13% TAX. Its a 2012 F 150 ecoboost Crew Cab 4 x 4 XLT, with Chrome pkg, trailer tow pkg, convenience pkg, locking diff. and 3.5 L V6 twin turbo, towing some 9000 lbs. Retail 6 months earlier, $ 42,000. So, I now, well the bank owns, this truck. I went to work the next day, and my wife is driving home with the kids, dog, and cats, next week. Talk about down to the 11th hour!

     

    So, there are miracles. After you get through this spell, you will look back and say how lucky you were to get this sorted out now, and not a year from now.

     

    Good luck mate.

     

    Cheers,

    Hi there,

     

    New PC so installing OFF, etc. Went to install HITR and once everything loaded, went to fly. Error was - " Populate Airfield Facility: Aircraft setup error"

     

    Not sure what this is. Just did a QC flight as the JS , etc aren't set up yet. Is there an easy way to unistall HITR. BH&H?

     

    Cheers,

    Hi there and congrats to RAF Lou,

     

    And all who are on the program. As a Critical Care Paramedic ( just finished my training), I air transport ICU/CCU patients to a higher level of care. Naturally I read the charts of all, and have over the last 31 years, developed a keen insight into such health matters. Firstly genetics are ~ 70% of who you are. If one of your parents has a heart condition, your chances are about 70% you will too. GET CHECKED, at 50 years of age, for any family health care issues that might be headed your way. Of the 30 % you get to tweak, smoking makes up about 75 % of that. If you don't smoke, you only make it better in terms of quality of life. That 30% if you don't smoke, then becomes critical in such area's as diet, fitness, eating habits, etc. Rather than diets it may be better to think that you are changing your lifestyle. Fitness is another big component of of the whole thing, as just dieting will not get you there. At the end of the day, all of this may enable you to live longer, or maybe not. But, if you pursue this tact, then at least your quality of life will be better.

     

    OK, I sound like a stick in the mud, but with my mother's father dead at 66, and my Dad, having a heart attack at 52, and me with teenage kids, I do want to stick around a couple more years( OFF 4 should be out by then :) ) and I do want to enjoy that. I take my Statin Rx daily, and Rx for GERD, and look to workout 3 x week, 6 times a week when I'm away from home.

     

    So, great to hear that you OFFer's are motivated, and what a great job.

     

    Cheers,

    Hi there,

     

    I have done a few missions for P2 and P3. You can include additional planes, facilities, air craft carrier's, etc. These additions are stand alone, and are loaded into the main OFF program. If they survive the testing then they will be good to go for everyone else. See "British_eh's" Tondern Mission which includes the HMS Furious/Eagle.

     

    Cheers,

    Hi there,

     

    Good luck with the Mission. One of my favorite was constructing the Tondern Mission with HMS Furious Air Craft Carrier take off. When I looked at your aircraft, it didn't seem to be at an aerodrome? This does make it easier to start from. Also one of the issues with building missions is that it is built in that the elevations are skewed high, and those can be manually corrected by going into the settings as shown above.

     

    I still see the Missions over at CA. You can download them ant then edit them to see how they are laid out.

     

    Cheers,
