Polovski

Yes I have one of the SIMPED rudder pedals and they are superb, last for years. Also Gunter I have dealt with is a gentleman and gives you superb support. Well worth supporting him.

LOL sorry couldn't resist. Seriously we will look at that anyway - maybe a different type of wind sound or whatever. Maybe we have already it's all starting to blur... Really all you should hear is your engine, or the bullet whizzing through your cap (but that option is there in sound settings anyway) but I think most prefer a slight artistic license / Hollywood type sound to add immersion. Force Feedback is the more realistic tho, you do feel it going and think ohoh.

Force feedback :).

Well we can argue about FMs all day, but I won't. When we made them we studied and decided and made them as they are. The Albatros had a lot of time spent on it. The DIII was not revolutionary compared to the DII although it had improvements (smaller lower wing etc for better vision better climb etc). DVx was not an improvement over the DIII apart from perhaps top speed slightly but more weight etc and so on and generally not enthusiastically received. Yes they were reported as very stiff controls hard to manoeuvre compared to nimble Entente a/c. Sure we can make them fantastic, but we tried to get the right feel on all craft and balance them as they were historically with pilot reports and data. DIII is powerful 1000 rounds and twin guns and a reasonable climb rate versus a nimble delicate N17 with 1 gun sometimes 1 drum loaded only etc. The Germans were after fast climbers with lots of bullets by that time and that's what it is for me. Anyway some things will change naturally due to improvements and fixes in the sim, and some won't we cant promise anything but we are looking at all areas where possible. I think we said a while back we will look at if time etc and see if any need revisions but we shall see.. JFM DM we are revising and looking at and if there is a 1 hit aileron issue and if it can be fixed we shall try. Not sure about a throttle lag but we shall see.

The question was is the sound getting an overhaul for P4 / OFF2 - and the answer is yes it is getting an overhaul. Move on. There are some great sounds in OFF that we are very pleased with yes here and there we can improve (did we mention we are working on OFF2?) Anyway this is closed point made, question answered.

Great Eric hope you get time to enjoy later tomorrow :)

Well of course we disagree that it's "awful" ! but yes new sounds in OFF2, yes. Also note in P3 you may need to tweak sound levels in Workshop (there's buttons to customise) and check how the output is setup on your speakers, i.e. try stereo not 5.1 or whatever and see.

I think the first post in the thread although a bit of fun needs a spoiler alert on the front! Once you tell people to look for things they will always see them and it could spoil their enjoyment?

One thing that annoys me in Fraps is the frame counter which doubles to indicate you are recording. If you enable it, you have to press the fps key 4 times to remove it from the screen to avoid recording it with your video - then once to bring it back to check your recording finished whatever. Sounds OK, but in practive you often press the key once too often or something so end up pressing it 8 times or more - not very user friendly. Basically each press moves it to another corner of the screen then finally off the screen - very cumbersome. Given recording takes up massive amounts of HD space it's important to make sure your video has stopped recording of course. Another is Playclaw 3 which is getting better. This also has the option to show a fps counter (and may other useful items) on screen and NOT record them either. So you can see you are recording, and not have to keep pressing keys, plus it has in game configuration menu and many more features. I have had more crashes from it than Fraps but it's a new major release so will give it a bit of time.

No worries thanks 33LIMA.

33LIMA can you post those elsewhere wrong thread entirely really.

Thanks Mike will look into it.

Sorry what? Do you have a link to the actual comments?

As they say, life is too short. We are all busy preparing for safety and the future or retirement and sometimes it is taken away early. There are no guarantees we'll be here tomorrow for sure. We all need to eat for sure though and if you have a family make sure they have a good home and are fed. However if you are single or have a wife with the same outlook and no other ties with plenty of cash to keep you going why the heck not try at least if it's your dream. Good research has to be done, maybe check out work available in other larger countries as Olham says, but I'd certainly at least get closer to it. Maybe have a couple of lessons, talk to a few pilots, contact some pilot/trade associations and see how much demand there is? Absolutely loads of similar questions searching on google, here's a few http://www.myjobsearch.com/careers/pilot.html (also read the real pilot experience on the right sounds quite dull..;) some on yahoo http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100403101543AArZQgI http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070809095709AATjnE1 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100106135224AAvgM2W

Well it will be released on : [ED: Polovski was taken outside and shot, oh no you don't!]

Yes that's about it Olham. WM is the scenery expert and would know more specifics but to see extras like hedges etc probably need 4 or 5 slider on scenery. Terrain and Scenery you can probably put on 4,4 as a max and see all.

Not classified no, basically we are civil about it and I don't want to drag that old stuff up. Briefly, the owner of previous site apparently suddenly became aware we were not a donation-ware/free mod but commercial - and almost immediately we were told to leave and various links changed etc. The fact we were commercial was certainly no secret and was very well discussed and posted in the forum, and our web and various places well before Phase 3 was released. Many main admins knew for sure anyway. Admins such as Henry did a great job over the years and I thank them for that and for the time we had there. Unfortunately the sudden changes confused the users and us etc. Maybe it was because you are meant to pay there if you are commercial- not sure, but the team did of course donate several times as individuals as did other OFF users - in fact I and other OFF users had just donated a few days before that again as they had a drive on but we do not make enough to finance large payments or much advertising but hey ho. It is what it is and we are at CA now which is a great site.

We did thank CA for their kind help at the time too for hosting our forum and helping out in that tricky time. It was in a very abrupt manner we were asked to leave the previous forum and they did wonders - but many thanks to them for continuing to host and for you lot for being here :)

BTW if you are talking of Phase 2 Panama I don't think the same hedges are in there anyway, so much changed in P3.

OK just a thought, also could be other things like slider settings or something caused the dll to stop working whatever.

You need to use bombs on the trains btw guys those engines are built well :)

As it's the DH5 then you have HITR so make sure you have also installed all the patches for HITR. The FM was improved too, "• DH5 : FM (flight model) revised, top speed, max altitude and climb improved and minor changes. Minor 3D model fixes." http://www.overflandersfields.com/Downloads**tR.htm

Great glad you sorted it sceptre. I also hate the nuke method, but at some point it's usually necessary :/

Another good tip is to use each warp for less time (i.e. come out of it much more often then re-enable for a short time again) - or use the "accelerate time" option instead. (note you cannot re-bind the accelerate time keys or they will stop working). Keyboard settings are listed on the FAQ (link near top of FAQ) or here http://snomhf.exofire.net/data/OFFcmdkeysNoCFS.png (by Mark "Homeboy")

rjw, not sure what you mean but shift+W is change heading to "Next waypoint" i.e. not Warp? But if you mean you changed to the next waypoint and then warped, there is the occasional glitch in CFS where you head off to the blue yonder and waypoints break but no idea if that is what you saw. Either way I doubt it's never going to happen again. Put it down to getting lost on patrol I guess. Otherwise maybe you shift+W too many times and ended up back in the middle of the map (rotated through the waypoints?).
