  1. P4 DEVELOPMENT SCREENSHOTS

    Thanks guys, scenery really does help the immersion. Nothing out there like Winder's scenery to be honest. Even jaded devs are enjoying flying at the moment. Quite right Olham I missed it in that picture it was taken just before complete. Will post a few more soon. Yes we tried to make the gunner more hunched over the gun aiming etc looks better I think. There are lots of small things improved on the external which overall makes the craft and the scenery stand out nicely.
  2. British Summertime

    Ouch yes that sounds a bit like egg-cooking-on-the-car weather. I know someone in Florida who used to start the car and put the air con on. Then run back indoors and then 10 minutes later sprinted to the car to get into the cool lol.
  3. British Summertime

    What is the obsession with cooking skin I wonder. Give me a nice pleasant Summer's day with a few clouds and a cool breeze oh and a nice sit down and a cup of tea in the shade :)
  4. Two Seaters

    The front gun works not sure what you mean but if you got shot it can get damaged and stop, or jam (like any gun- usually if you fire longer bursts). If you mean the gunner isn't shooting it sometimes helps if you set the target awareness radar and target some near enemies and then do the A. Also note some angles he won't fire, so move to help him, also some times he becomes.. dead :) Or set the craft to autopilot Ctrl+A and then jump to gunner seat (F8 buit if you have TrackIR default best to use shift+F8). Don't forget to switch back to pilot (F6) to fly often and take off autopilot to avoid enemies.
  5. Can't Start Quick Mission

    Glad you found it Mike at least DVD drives aren't too expensive these days.
  6. Thanks for posting that FC. Unlceal does know that he messed up, think he just could not stop himself. As you say most people here will have had plenty of the worst life can throw at us to deal with and still have to get on. Main thing is we are all here as guests so should act accordingly.
  7. wierd flight routes

    oh dear glad you found it, but as you can see support is hard enough without having to deal with a modded install. So guys in future we will expect you to be vanilla install + patches before we will help. That's the first thing to try if you have problems otherwise we waste a lot of time :(.
  8. wierd flight routes

    If you patched BH&H fully first 1.32 + 1.32g, before HITR install? then patched HITR then I have no idea otherwise on that one. No one has had a specific issue with 2 seaters before. Try a different squad/type ? The regional fix is the main one for waypoint issues, warp will occasionally freak. Perhaps something is corrupt in the install? Try a scandisk.
  9. As Shredward says apparently repeated warnings and re-instatements came before, and now he has been banned for some more bad posts and could not be brought in line anymore, or given anymore chances. We intervened a few times on his behalf due to his other kinder side for new flyers here. I didn't realise even his useful stickies where gone that's a blow and his replies to help people. I will ask further on that.
  10. It should be in RNAS1 too Hellshade (No 1 Squadron RNAS) for a week or two around Aug 1917. I love it and the P4 one will please you more :)
  11. Dual monitor issues

    2 Monitors are excellent for working on. One can have say a reference image or data, or web browser open whatever, the other you can be running your main application like Max or Excel or whatever. i.e. great for productivity. If you do a lot of none game stuff it's brilliant (bit like TrackIR or other tracking software is to Flight siming once you have 2 you don't want to go back to 1). Even gaming you can have say a detailed map open on the 2nd screen whilst you fly or whatever.
  12. wierd flight routes

    Make sure you are launching via the OFF Manager too.
  13. Thanks Hellshade back to work :)
  14. AI Behavior

    No HITR does not add more Mission building and we don't provide specific support for MB, however yes you can create missions with the MB. Given the OFF Manager generates unique campaign missions every time, there is not a massive call for it. However there is info on the MB in around in other sub forums and threads I think, best to ask someone who made some. To load up missions you have to save into the correct folder for example in OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\missions\scenarios\Britain etc. (Per your pilot nation). Also you have to set the correct front lines etc by the date in the mission. All this is mentioned in More Help button in the Quick scenarios and also there is a "MissionBuilders Readme.txt" file in the Missions folder if you look too for some hints on making missions using the Mission builder and making them compatible to OFF. As Hellshade said he's flying a standard campaign mission, not one he made. If yours don't seem to be working then hence my question. I asked because you said something like this before and mentioned running CFS3 exe directly or something before.
  15. wierd flight routes

    Hi Lederhosen something is screwed there, do you have an English OS? If not have you set it up as per the FAQ? Have you installed all the updates for OFF (which version do you have?) ?
  16. AI isn't dumb on aggressive mode it's pretty good especially vet/ace but I doubt many AI in sims out there, flying with all the same FM rules etc is as good as human with 1000s of hours sim flying. As I said above, everyone has pet hates, concerns etc, I'm going to stop answering every query (reasons in my above post). Guys please wait for feature list. Also it's takes a lot of our time answering individual requirements and not working on P4. Yes Lewis was used for various good reasons, one is it isn't slowed by a prop in the way and can fire full rate.
  17. Wo steady on, one issue does not crash and burn a whole sim wow. There's a whole lot more than that. However to KILL this one Yes one new feature in P4 we added that has not been mentioned yet is AI using weight. (This is not a "fix" by the way as it was not broken, just the way it was in CFS3). Answered like this the features list comes out in tiny dribs and drabs and gets lost in all the negative stuff anyway - until a features list is published could you hold on please and all will be revealed. Phase 4 will be a whole different ball game. It is already designed and well along development and seriously different in many areas. We are well aware of what is needed or can or cannot be done at this stage so just hang in there please.
  18. AI Behavior

    Lewie are you actually launching the OFF Manager and going into "Campaign" ? Something doesn't sound right there. If you haven't flown campaign you are missing out on a huge part of OFF?
  19. ATI 11.6 driver crash

    Lol Parky ;). I do keep buying ATI then coming back to NVidia. Yeah given I had a lot of pain with ATI in my earlier working life, in theory I should have never have gone near one for my own machine with a 7-foot barge pole, but have bought several since. The competition is good for us users although the constant one-upmanship with top end video card releases and increasing prices had to slow down at some point. But yeah wonder if any of those old driver programmers are still there at ATI. I think some of the fantastic 3DFX Voodoo team moved to them so that's likely why they improved some.
  20. Wow quite a list, P4 is well along development and of course many of those things are addressed directly or indirectly anyway but as we haven't released full features yet I think it's best we don't comment on all those individually for now.
  21. AI Behavior

    Welcome back - make sure you patch BH&H fully as Olham says, then install HITR and its patch. Then the same excellent AI from BH&H will be available plus other options in Workshop for less aggressive, or a combination of both (random) see the release notes on the download page. Landing is as Olham describes it in Phase 3.
  22. ATI 11.6 driver crash

    Fanboi? Wow sorry it rattled your cage. I'm not trying to have a p****** contest. I too have been using ATI for a very long time, and used most of those you list too. Even used Voodoo card first real 3D accelerator that came before NVidia or ATI's. Have used and bought/supported many ATI, Nvidia cards over the years. As I said I installed ATI cards as part of my job day in day out for several years but hey ho.. Radeon 8500 was one of the first really decent 3D cards they did with decent drivers and support - I bought, then others for example Radeon 800XT 9800, etc, and later onto Radeon 4870, HD 5870.. I have gone back and forth from ATI and Nvidia for years so got the teehshirt too, but it's a fact ATI used to be shocking at drivers (when it was just 2D Windows). Sorry but you are coming across like I hurt you personally or you are flying the flag for ATI or something. Yes all companies have issues with all software, it's tricky stuff to make work on a billion variations of PC hardware and software and configurations out there.
  23. ATI 11.6 driver crash

    For ATI driver side was always iffy for me (I go back a long way with them - used to have to install ATI cards at work and they were shockingly bad drivers then for us). The newer cards and drivers are obviously way better but still.. Is it iffy normally when running things or only on driver updates? If your power supply is borderline maybe the odd driver change is causing it to BSOD, depends on the BSOD I guess. Maybe in future you need to remove the current driver, reboot (default VGA) ignore the 'new hardware found' stuff then install new one or use one of the driver cleaners. Sorry your post originally had a "l" in it and nothing else hence my comment ;)
  24. ATI 11.6 driver crash

    Yikes is that for many people or just on your PC? Did you mean to put some more comment in the post?
  25. Brand new DM and FM now ready!

    "Flamers" were craft flying on for a long time in Phase 2 when on fire - we worked hard to remove in P3. If you edit effects and damage levels etc will likely bring them back unfortunately.
