Jim did you never try Quick Scenarios in OFF and choose 20v20 ? You could always edit some of the missions there and add more There are up to 225 aircraft in the air on their own real missions in OFF (can be increased easily in workshops and we can increase to more if necessary ;)). Obviously you are not going to pass them all at the same time in campaign across the front, but I have sometimes been in furballs with several groups all piling in over several minutes to make a huge group. If you PC can handle it try increasing air activity in OFF's Workshop and go fly when there is a major offensive on in 1918 in the thick of it regions?

Glad to see you guys making progress. Don't give up BH you were getting somewhere. Hardest part of this is starting but the 2nd biggest hurdle is keeping going. Most startup modellers give up. Conrad in case you want to check external instruments as a matter of interest currently in OFF the DFW and Eindecker have external compasses on the wings when viewed from the VC (DFW is on the left wing, EIII right).

Lewie I thought I sent the docs to get you going one tutorial goes over all the basics using the CFS3 SDK and Gmax and making a CFS3 compatible model etc http://www3.telus.net/murrdaka/tutorial/B2BNZ.htm which also links to this tutorial some good ideas in there http://www.simviation.com/gryphon/tutorials/gMax_00.htm In the past I used Bobo's script 42 for 3Dmax to export into Gmax but it will cause some things to go west like mapping etc sometimes. Also I think there's a glitch where objects vanish if they are named with 3 particular letters I have noticed corruption importing from other source programs but from 3DS Max is fine. but it's OK it the first letter of all objects is in capitals ;) Once you have P3 it will give you an idea, but check out the Screenshots of P4 for the sort of detail we'll require for future - worth a look.

Nice indeed :) hope it will still be on the PC :).

You can't have a decent sim without having a zillion keys to do something or that can be customised ;). WW1 needs less keys than WW2 btw ;) Having said that default keys are OK, with one or two tweaks. There's also guides in your installation folder See the FAQ at the top for info on where to find (under "External guides and help:"), and other key guides. http://overflandersfields.com/FAQ

Thanks Shred. Please keep it civil please or move to http://combatace.com/forum/46-wwi-flight-sim-discussion/ for other WW1 sim posts. This is where this thread should be. Similar rules are applied in other sites and forums about posting about other sims to stop mud slinging. Here are Dagger's comments on posting rules in that forum, so you can imagine here we are also concerned. http://combatace.com/topic/62290-a-few-ground-rules-this-is-for-all-sims/

I remember in the other great mostly forgotten sim F16 Combat Pilot it was similar but there were several techniques to avoid missiles, IIRC turning 90 degrees to the missile and rolling so it was above you then pulling hard towards it as it closed (timing was everything) and firing chaff or flares etc at the same moment. When you occassionally got close to see the other guys canopy it was a brief glimps, cannons were almost never used.

Indeed Olham it's great when people spot gems :)

It works unless you zoom in /out your view. So turn off the effect if it bugs you or you zoom/in out the normal view.

No that data is not useful, it is the other way round. i.e. OFF's mission replay encountered an error because CFS3 crashed and therefore data was corrupted. Likely video settings, maybe your terrain/scenery sliders are too high etc. Could be the new drivers use more memory or have different settings. Check the Video tips in our FAQ may help... http://www.overflandersfields.com/Tips.htm

If you installed drivers then not only does CFSconfig need to be re-run and reconfigured (including any optimisations you may have done for Nvidia /ATI cards (see Video Tips in our FAQ), but also your Nvidia /ATI display settings themselves may be different settings now. Check through them, and check http://overflandersfields.com/Tips.htm

Excellent Dej, reallty looks like a brisk early morning.

Hopefully someone can, I don't have rights to remove threads.

Given that we have many 100s of airfields in the sim world at any one time, it's not possible to have every single airfield using unique 3D Models, airfields, buildings and textures all at the same time, or your PC would likely explode but yes we can do SOME unique airfields - it is possible. It is a sim after all and some things have to be reused to save memory etc - and our sanity. We have finite time and people so we are doing our best to make it as good as possible. Other "small" teams have several dozen people and find it tough, so you can imagine how we feel being ooo 8 people mostly part time. We would like to add them but not sure if any would make P4 we shall see. Yes Lewie those airfields are in there as are many 100s of other real places. WM and Shred would know which are more like the real ones but mostly they will be generic airfields but they do exist and are "owned" by the right side at the right times in the war. There is a collosal amount of research in OFF by Shred and all the guys that most people never even notice but it's there :) "Luxury! We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!"

Also helps to narrow "awareness" radar range and target type before cycling with T. Lewie you will start in the air at the mission height at that place, (you can change it somewhat in workshop options). Just for the record "Spawns" are not used in OFF. All craft follow their real mission.

He must have seen some shocking things then too being in the ambulance. Salute to the old soldier.

Yep right near your target.

That's one reason why manual advance is there too, if you don't like something advance. Voila.

It was shown on the BBC recently, I would much preferrred to have seen a lot more of the actual original film rather than a few clips, but still good to see.

It will be assigned to all the squad, unless you have Hat in The Ring! expansion which allows unique player skins (option in workshop). http://www.overflandersfields.com/Addon1.htm "• Personalised AIRCRAFT skin! player can now fly with his own unique custom skin IN SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN! "

Press Space one is excellent fun saw that before ;) even more funny is the review someone did. Play the game first then listen to the review then you'll get how funny it is :D http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/558516

Dragon Age is fairly dull initially, but if you stick with it it does eventually really open up more as you play. You suss out the combat more too and have a lot more options as it grows - you start off with no moves nothing interesting. Pause a lot in combat helps. Some great character chats as you walk along with your party members who may hate each other hurling whitty abuse. Alistair is very funny :D

Very odd Andy but thansk for reporting back. I have an Nvidia 480 and it works fine without those settings. In cfs3config "Composite Aircraft Texture Usage" slider should be set to 0, that is the default too.

Works fine here, note the firewall might block changed components, my NOD32 had warnings about file changes even a while later, so maybe it's the firewall UK_W. Try disabling it, and enabling Windows built-in one temporarily then installing?

Looks great Hellshade. I'm also looking forward to the next Dragon Age out sooner.
