1000s of skins have been remade or improved for OFF2, and some models and skin layouts have also changed, some mappings fixed or altered for example. Short answer you'd just have to try them later we cannot say at the moment.

OFF2 uses the same folder structure, and some registry areas are the same too. As Hellshade says we are too small a team to cater for all possibilities by changing all references and then all the testing required etc with old versions knocking around. Don't forget many people are not too familiar with editing and messing around on PCs so we could end up with all sorts of messes to deal with in support - people installing into P3 folders mixing files, editing files badly etc. Far too much to deal with. Clever PC users may find dual booting, or backing up registry settings etc it's possible but we will not provide support for issues with it. We cannot test, so we cannot support. I mean if OFF2 really disappointed you for some reason - you could always simply remove OFF2 and reinstall P3 anyway? It's not the end of the world and is possible. The answer is still no unfortunately we do not have more time to test both and make sure they co-exist.

Hi guys, For a Christmas present for you patient Barmy OFF flyers and new potential OFF owners we have put together some clips from our Work-in-progress from PHASE 4 of OVER FLANDERS FIELDS. NOTES: This is a PREVIEW of PHASE 4 (Working title) of the next generation of Over Flanders Fields WW1 Flight Simulator - * * Damage Model and some Effects shown are still using older Phase 3 code for the moment until we update * * * * Please note this is still WORK -in- PROGRESS * * Also note many things are not shown but we will when we are ready :) ...and no don't ask when it's out - you know the answer already :)! Link is on our main page, NEWS section on the top right on the main content page (click the link on there instead will take you to a larger sized window, or of course you can click through on the youtube link and select High Quality etc as normal). http://www.overflandersfields.com Enjoy!

Seems to be the opposite that you would imagine, turn down sliders so free up CPU so better AI, but that is not the case. Seems higher sliders mean CFS3 believes you have a good system so ups the CPU calcs.

No. OFF2 (P4) will replace P3 we will make no allowances for P3 to be there too, and will not test it. They may share registry settings etc, so generally a bad idea.

Seems to be the higher the settings used the more CFS3 then knows your system is capable to handle more AI calculations etc too.

No. Standard practice in any game or sim, if you have issues remove mods first and see if it helps.

Hopefully you had made sure installed all BH&H patches before installing HITR - and now check you have vo1.47 HITR patch applied. http://www.overflandersfields.com/Downloads**tR.htm Choose another squadron in a different location and see. Very very early on you may have random amounts of nearby enemy aircraft so check by chooing other locations and dates and see if that is fine. If you have mods remove and see.

The weather was pretty appalling throughout the air war period. If you do not want historically realistic weather (i.e. you want it more like normal and randomised) to have brighter weather go to workshop and change the weather mode to AI weather rather than Historical. (top left ish).

That's the point many people who fly HITR are more thrilled and they are recommending it to you as they think it does. But it's all about opinion - you may not agree obviously. Here's another opinion we respect, Jens "McGonigle" Lindblad at SIMHQ http://www.simhq.com/_air13/air_445a.html read that. (Also not mentioned in the review is an aggressive/passive AI option setting in a HITR patch). Flight simmers do tend to pick on negatives - we do have a lot of good stuff in there too. HITR came out 2 years ago so yes you may think some things could be improved, well that's what the heck we are doing in OFF2 for the last couple of years. If you don't like it maybe stop flying it ?

9.99 not 9.90 I edited your post Olham already getting confusing ;) Yes we need funds to even carry on as all small teams do so all helps!

Well it's even less it's $9.99 + taxes if applicable etc

ah no clues :)

Actually as a side point, we were using "The Great Air War 1915-18" as a sub title around Phase 2. BTW we have chosen a new name, hopefully sometime soon we can reveal it.

Turn on the hit messages you may see more things being hit, but as the guys say the idea is not to get hit. It may be worth playing with slider settings and other craft to see if your experiences change.

When does it come up, what exactly do you click on to get it ? Firstly you need to think what could have changed recently, did you install/uninstall any programs? Is your drive out of free space ?

OK guys a polite close here, this has been thrashed some.

Make sure you anti virus is not blocking our OFF.dll. Try increasing sliders lower sliders = lower AI too. Search the forum for other discussioover the years. Single shot is possible but it shouldn't happen always of course but I can't comment on a mod. There are way too many variables to cover. Camels at low level is a very bad idea to turn sharply too, you will loose too much alt in a right hand usually, and left the nose comes up and you stall.

Hi Guys, here's 3 screenshots of the new summer scenery of Flanders coming soon in OFF2 and showing the updated Roland model, and cockpit and a texture. The scenery has been improved more by Winder even since the last video and is looking stunning. Note: many sims have just 1 or 2 terrain tiles total, but OFF not only has each major region with different terrain - Flanders, Marne, Verdun, Alsace, and England - but also they have Summer Spring Winter and Autumn.

It is a shame some get moved but yes add a little relevance to this forum too and perhaps it will stay.

See the FAQ here for which to get http://www.overflandersfields.com/FAQ.htm#Installation_and_settings

SE5a in the sim should make around 18k depending on fuel load. Make sure you lean the engine of course. Make sure you do not use a "no-cd" exe there is a "50 yard bug" in some as they are not 3.1 or buggy and you can shoot all day and not hit.. do not fire from directly behind as ramblingsid says above a 5 degree either side should help. You will get varying kills from 1 bullet to several 100, just as it was. Manfred v R shot 900 to kill Hawker. Make sure you install all patches if BH&H.

Because there is currently no facility to chose craft (other than by squad in campaign - QC it's different of course). At some point we could mix some squads up and add more variety but you'd still have to know which squad to pick etc I edited field mods because that isn't something we are "specifically" doing across all craft, and not exactly what I wanted to say , that's why we edit ;) It's just a taste and to add some variety to the SE5a of what was actually there or going on. As I said, you CAN choose to fly an SE5a with Aldis, or a Viper without. We will never cover all things and please all, but we hope to give everyone something and built a immersive WW1 sim to give everyone a taste, I'll look at it again sometime but right now have to crack on so I'm out..

don't worry they are only on a few craft and we promise not to cramp the fighter pilots style ;)

Ok we'll there is nothing more I can say on it anyway.
