Aye the spinner is there just not hiding much. Scarf is history already.

No problem btw in WOFF we have given them much more intelligence around target attacks and hope we can show more soon. Actually I should say 'given them new intelligence' as it's not just improvements but new AI completely.

I watched Sky at Night because of him - loved his eccentricity. Many a British comic has done entertaining impressions of him over the years. A good innings 89 but sad to see him go.

They certainly used to attack but would often fly off in a wide direction and split into 2's etc. Somtimes seems like they are not attacking when actually they are preparing too far away (CFS3). They would take a lot longer to attack sometimes (i.e fly a good long way out to line up blah - aso sometimes they would attack another ground target instead not the one you said to, aah the confusion of war). WOFF will change this and many many many things (think we mentioned the AI is a tad different in WOFF) ..

WOFF works on Windows 8 so far (also tried on an old HP laptop with ATI graphics and it runs too) so there is hope I guess ;). As a personal comment having played with Windows 8, I will not want to upgrade my main PC to Windows 8 from Windows 7 for some time, until its Service Pack 1 comes out, or wait for Windows 9. I dislike all the simplified bland screens and colours etc too but on the other side as fastCargo says you can change things. There's a great little free utility (amongst a few) that puts the start menu back and let's you choose from XP, Windows 7 etc start menu. http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/

There are no user changable config files for that no, but you could use advance time option if you get a mission you don't like - when you see a mission go back to campaign screen and click advance time, then go back into mission briefing. You can set auto/manual time advance in Workshop settings which gives you a new button in campaign screen.

Skins are by default in C:\OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\campaigns\CampaignData\skins

Something has removed a system file, or deleted the file it's a Visual Basic dll I believe. You can try the fix below this in the first place, seems to be a similar issue. http://support.kanors-emr.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=263&PID=1173&SID=98837f48-1564-9f59de96-z15256a2-73db6eae&title=class-not-registered-msstdfmtdll#1173 If you still have an issue maybe best to clean out OFF first including registry entries and reinstall carefully, installing the correct patches as per the FAQ. http://www.overflandersfields.com/FAQ.htm#Installation_and_settings then if still a problem contact support with your order number and OS and specific error in detail.

Moving COL/COG can have dramatic effects - also can badly affect the AI in various places twitch twitch...

Can't argue with 99 good innings there, S!

Problems with taking off is almost always due to mods, we spent half a lifetime testing take offs. The occasional crash is actually realistic but yes generally they should work. Landings in Phase 3 are bad because CFS3 is handling it, and we could not work on it. It's not "broken" just not made specifically for WW1 craft (and never worked too well for WW2 craft in CFS3 anyway!). WOFF is completely different of course.

No problem hope you get running.

If you choose historical weather in Workshop then you get weather system based on reports of weather that occurred in WW1. As Olham said, during WW1 it was exceptionally bad (hence plenty of NML mud). If you instead choose AI Weather Gen (Generator) then you will get weather based on WM's Artificial Intelligence weather generation system, which will produce better days in summer and worse as winter approaches :)

from the FAQ If you have installed BH&H, and then HITR addon, and then get an error running the manager such as "Populate Airfield Facility: Aircraft set up Error." Then this means you forgot to update Between Heaven and Hell to v1.32 (and then 1.32g) before installing "Hat In The Ring!" You will have to uninstall all of OFF and start again.

Actually there are a few very good fan made XCom clones, better graphics than the original 320x200 etc of course. In it's time Jagged Alliance was exceptional too still individual squad turn based, and lots of details and upgrade weaponry etc. I liked them both very much, XCom of course the longer lasting re-playability but each worth owning. Also very good and I think better than JA is Silent Storm and SS2. Only thing that spoils it is the panzerklein things whatever they were called, (armoured suits-) but you can mod it out. SS2 had great bullet penetration rules, which allowed you to have fire fights inside wooden or thin walled rooms and buildings firing through walls and even floors etc, super fun. when all hell breaks loose and you can hear enemies rushing to you.

Good luck with the mod, but just to clarify what StumpJ meant to HouseHobbit - it is fine to make missions that call already installed craft or objects etc in an installed OFF Phase 3 you own of course, but we do not want a pack or addon to also include our models directly in that download or pack, or even modified in there. You need to obtain those from a legally owned copy of OFF of course. Hope that makes sense.

No one said it's "as good as" TrackIR but if you have no money worth a look.. TrackIR is fantastic, and worth every penny but not everyone has the money. Making a whole real world is rather a huge undertaking.. with more time and support anything is possible of course.

FaceTrackNoIR is a good free alternative that uses a web cam to track your face. So if you have a webcam worth a look. It may even be worth looking for a second hand trackir 3 or 4, it really is like going from using keyboard to using joystick for a flight sim, you will never ever want to go back to anything else. Free one anyway with OFF support in: http://facetracknoir...ome/default.htm info on OFF on the download page read it carefully. http://facetracknoir...ks/download.htm

Bullethead, please see your question in the OFF technical thread over there. Basically Doug did reply to you within 30 minutes of your original PM! I have a copy of it - please check your PM messages there carefully (make sure you are logged in of course).

Here we go again... The WHY we moved was explained in several sickies etc. Back to developing..

Lovely job BH. WW1 seems to be almost unique in the requirements for hours and hours spent on details - we are all nuts.

Yeah you were probably not checking in at the time it happened for a that period (week or so) a while ago it was in the news area on the website at the time etc, and you'd have noticed CA was not available for a week or so at some point

On our web just click on "media" for pics and movies including WOFF. Also in the news section we sometimes link to screenshots or movies that are posted elsewhere. Yeah not sure how you missed that but the official forum is as Olham shows and also has some pics including one or two from the last week or so. I have posted others here in the general forum more recently than November, but think you must have been awol at the time.

There have been a lot of new pictures since November in various places. There are new pics last few days on SimQH too. Not sure were you guys have been looking but even the website has much newer pics than November. And of course <insert your favourite craft/item/feature> may not be in there, sure, we are a tiny team busting a gut round the clock trying to get OFF done, no one wants it finished and available for you guys more than us believe me.

Horrific picture. Seems to me they should have spent all that time making it fly better instead.
