BTW we have it in damaged form too :)

See the other thread you posted in crash101. Manuals are in MANUALS folder under "\OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields" folder. Also they are discussed and key charts linked at top of our FAQ. Total/ complete setup and install instructions are in the FAQ near the top best place to start. http://overflandersfields.com/FAQ

Welcome Blackdogkt and crash101. @Blackdogkt: The freeware Phase2 is officially unsupported. Our very small team is slaving away on p4 currently so cannot offer much help on old free Phase 2 questions but you may find help in the P2 sub forum if any user is there who can help in similar siuation. Also there is info in the FAQ which although for the commercial Phase 3, will in part will apply to Phase 2 in some areas - such as regional settings - although P3 needs less tweaking in that area normally it still may need some as in the FAQ). Yes there are registry settings left over and a clean uninstall is required, again search through the FAQ you'll probably see similar for Phase 3 mentioned on removal (can't guarantee it as a lot has improved and changed in P3 +) One caution, older versions of OFF such as Phase2 may not work on Vista or Windows 7 (OFF P2 was made way before). Newer versions such as Phase 3 and the Hat in the Ring expansion were well tested on Vista and also works fine on Windows 7 (32 and 64) with a couple of settings (FAQ). @Crash101 For Phase 3 there is a manual (3 in fact) in the MANUALS folder in \OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields. Also again see the FAQ right at the start it tells you this, plus points to some great key guides. Cheers Pol FAQ is linked from our main website as per my signature.

Yeah if you have the TrackClip pro thing then move the TIR (v4 or v5) to your left a bit. (mine is about 1/4 from the left hand side of widescreen monitor). If you don't have that could just need adjusting (angle of sensor, move it away a bit etc).

They are instrument lights on little hinges Olham.

Sounds interesting will check it. As an alternative, Irfanview works for me too in Win 7 64. Open 1 dds in Irfanview, press T, loads of thumbnails load up (size configurable). Only downer is it doesn't save DDS but you can open and then send to another app such as DXT2BMP or Photoshop whatever to edit.

Seems mainly so carrick I recognise a few.

Seems the 1938 one follows this closely but great to see any WW1 movie :)

We do not have a complete feature list yet, so I won't say a complete list at this stage apart from what has already been seen in the screenshots. Morane L is currently 2 seater version, but I can't say if other versions will be there yet - possibly. We do not have many modellers (!) so there won't be dozens of new craft coming out all at once. So far we have shown new craft such as Gotha G.IV, HP O400, Snipe, Morane L, Aviatik, Rumpler. We also have one or two brand new replacement models of other craft (DH2 for example) not yet shown. Replacing or updating dozens of cockpits is a big enough job for our tiny team (other sims have several times more people) and given the time needed to make a complete working craft in the sim apart from the externals there are obviously the associated other jobs from basic textures, cockpits, FMs, DMs, Squads in the manager and sometimes code to support them, squad skins etc as you know. When we have things almost ready we'll be more prepared to say all the features These new screenshots are to give you a taste, they are not the whole picture, and are not intended to be!

nbryant you mean the _S texture? Best if you start as you do already I think then manually lighten and darken areas as required where you want shine if that's what you are referring to. Otherwise not sure I tend to use the burn and dodge tools myself on new copies of the layers for darkening, and use various blending on layers and various opacity settings. The artists and skinners would know more.

New development updates http://combatace.com/topic/60000-phase-4-work-in-progress-screen-shots-updated-16-april-2011/

Thanks guys, yes Aviatik is there and a Rumpler (work in progress). I have flown the Snipe to test for WM, looks great and the pit view is handy enough for picking out the enemies. FM is still WIP but so far is good fun.

BTW be careful not to open a DDS you have previously saved to do more work on it, each time you do you will add more noise and corruption as a DDS is compressed. Always keep a PSD or BMP etc original. Also check what DDS type you saved as, some will not work in CFS3 properly. Aircraft ones should be saved as DDS1 / DXT1 no alpha usually.

I love it when Frank talking about flying the Eindecker E.III says "...Boelcke and Immelmann received the Pour le Mérite flying E III's... ...and as far as this slightly chicken aviator is concerned, anyone who would loop the E III and then half roll on top deserves this decoration"

Yes you can use Freetrack there's a link on the compatibility page (from Combat Flight sim 3) to an extra util you would need TIRattack (not tried it) Also see FaceTrackNoIR http://facetracknoir.sourceforge.net/home/default.htm they have added OFF support too (there is an OverFlandersFields.ini ) see their website. I tried v1.4 briefly with a webcam and it worked.

Heck even I'm excited :)

Winder added sheep a while back already and horses etc.

The Quick scenarios are just that, Quick and already setup gets you in the air with active targets near you often with many more aircraft than QC allows. Not everyone has the same likes and dislikes. They are reasonably easy to modify too for modders that was the idea, people could modify them. I'll add something to the FAQ to mention the aircraft available is reflected by the nationality of your pilot. I am sure there used to be something there somewhere -[edit done]

"...but are the realism settings the ones that change the claims from difficult to easy? It's not clearly marked as such.." Seems pretty clear to me the only option that mentions claims and it makes them easier. Most things have a reasonable answer - and often a good reason why they are so it's best to ask first - the guys here are as you can see very helpful.

Lol calm down Lewie. On the normal difficulty the roster is DELIBERATELY hidden. Make a note of your wingman at least you should know who you trust your life to at least ;) Or if you would like less sim and more auto /computerised fun, simply use one of the options in workshops for claims, that is what they are for.

Make sure you head is tracked properly *outside* of the sim first. Use the Naturalpoint TrackIR 5.1 program check how the dots move (and if they are mostly centered properly too) and how your head does. The easiest way to increase or decrease sensitivity I found is to move the "Speed" slider (under "Motion Control") up or down half a notch at a time and test. The other thing is make sure the trackir receiver is far enough away from you and if TrackIR5 move a few inches to the LEFT of your monitor if you use TrackClipPro. I'm no expert on it hopefully someone else can help more.

So hard to do decent realistic scenery these days. Getting tone and colours realistic is tricky .... Not for Winding Man :) Here's a preview of the P4 Scenery (a couple of the pics we'll put on the website soon) - we believe this is some of the finest scenery in sims available. need lots of trees? No problem. Oh note the brand new DH2 model. ...

Superb and HUGE book I bought it new a while back - very detailed. $39 is a bargain.

Welcome. Given most are biplanes and somewhat early experimental aircraft yes your view IS restricted often. We give you what you got as close as possible :) All the suggestions above will help. Try a DH2 for pusher design wings behind you. You can also simply zoom out a notch very easily (default keys are [ ]).

We haven't changed the rendering engine Si, the day was overcast so no shadows particularly.
