Phase 4 Screenshot comments
Polovski replied to Hellshade's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Still CFS3 engine Typhoon, there's many new and improved areas many of which are not shown yet. Some we won't show for now anyway :) BTW Dej, the DR1 if you look closely is new model wearing a new improved texture. -
OFF on VideoGameGeek - Its a great way to advertise
Polovski replied to jaa's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Hi Jaa, OK that should be fine, just put some credits for anything you use (that includes anyone else's of course) and a link thanks. -

Great Jaa thanks for that, interesting site let's hope it builds up. Just for the record release for current Phase 3 was January 2009. (Hat in the Ring! addon was Dec 2009) -
Built a new computer - need CFS3 / OFF setup help
Polovski replied to Cobra427so's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Don't worry Hasse Wind we have many users with windows 7 and most of the dev team run Windows 7 so it works fine. There's a section in the FAQ re Windows 7 and Vista under http://overflandersfields.com/FAQ#Installation_and_settings area. Some people have trouble with PC's and all sorts of programs full stop. -
Built a new computer - need CFS3 / OFF setup help
Polovski replied to Cobra427so's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Make sure you followed all these steps carefully: http://overflandersfields.com/FAQ#Installation_and_settings Tried reducing slider for terrain/scenery Made sure CFS3.exe is not a iffy no-cd? Try resetting cfs3config to default exit, then try flying, then go back and run it again to setup. -
Built a new computer - need CFS3 / OFF setup help
Polovski replied to Cobra427so's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Cobra427so run Graphics Config in OFF Manager Workshop settings. Setup your sliders as the guys say. Fundamental part of setup, and there's help at the top end of the FAQ if you need. You ran CFS3 and it didn't run - that's a red warning flag. OFF will not magically work differently without configuration but anyway do the above should be good. Uncleal not sure what you are on about. We have not tried to push using the Overall slider in discussions. In fact I think it's pretty useless so always totally ignore it when asked. -
All the best Shred 29 again!

OT - Virus, Spyware, Malware program

NOD32 I used for many years as it has a light footprint and saved my bacon a few times. I did buy Outpost firewall for quite some time as it was lowish on resources too, until they dropped the ball and I had blue screen city as others did. I recently went for ESET Smart Security 4 which is NOD32 + Eset firewall. Pretty good. -
No they are created by CFS3, and we don't want them so we disable. However others may wish to make missions or whatever with them in or bypass OFF so it's not permanently off. Even if we decided to do that it's not always so easy and takes more time - time we'd rather spend elsewhere. Things may not always seem perfect but the vast majority of the time it's intentional and we have given it time and thought.

Good write up sirMike In fact the AI is one of the best, as Olham eludes to you guys are 1000s of hours and many deaths in, and fly a lot.. flying with no fear. Also remember there are two AI settings so if you choose the other AI then yes it's less of a challenge. AI is extremely complex to do well but yes we are working on improving - as always.

O/T: Need PC help... please. PC locks constantly.
Polovski replied to OvS's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Sounds bad OvS -one of the most annoying PC issues is random hangs. The only way to diagnose is to specifically rule things out. There's a troubleshooting Question 25 n OFF FAQ too that applies to general hangs http://overflandersfields.com/FAQ#A25 look through that. Also try some free AV like Unhackme (root kit killer) . http://www.greatis.com/unhackme/download.htm Maybe you have some drive errors try scanning it for errors? -
Graphical errors with ATI video card
Polovski replied to vonOben's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
If you ATI guys want to write another updated one feel free and we can post it. -
Uncleal. If you zoom out any from the default view or have altered the view in workshop then the distortion may seem like the lower pit is much further away than it really is (you are using a wide angle lens basically). No we probably won't be making arms etc move away and back to instruments.

"Spawns" when mentioned in the OFF Manager refer to the disabling of CFS3 Spawn feature which we dislike. This is important in Campaigns where we have realistic flights on real missions across the skies. Spawns in flight sims magically place enemy aircraft near you randomly (i.e they suddenly appear out of no-where and often random amounts). So they did not fly there and you would never have seen them and could not even avoid them as they were suddenly magically beamed in and placed in the sky ;) (yuk). And this is how most sims do that. You get near point X and aircraft that were not there are suddenly placed near you - could even be where you were carefully checking was clear a moment before :(. However in OFF campaign all aircraft are on *real* missions from an airfield to target or patrol points etc, bombing, patrol, whatever with specific goals and are trying to do that. They are also historically in the location they were in the war. So if you cross their path you see them if you don't you won't, as in real life you could completely miss each other. We are proud of that so mention it in the messages :)

Nice one. Everyone knows everything is absolutely 100% true in the tabloids!
-
Yeah thought it might be partly AA/AF, I found my ATI 5870 much slower at higher AA settings than my previous old NVidia (8800GTX), AA set to the lowest type (Box?) and 4x in CFSconfig and 8X in ATI panel was good but anything more and fps dropped a lot.
-
I think Olham is right, don't use the map it's pretty pointless in a scramble anyway. SirMike please turn down your terrain slider and try it again.
-
Could also happen if you have been manually editing pilot files or copying back and forth - not recommended
-
Or indeed have a read of C:\OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\manuals\MOW.pdf
-
Only happens sometimes to some people, maybe reduce the terrain slider 1 notch - usually video memory crunch.
-
Well I am sure Shred or someone will have the facts but I believe huge amounts would die due to engine failure on take off or landing accidents or collisions etc. Certainly for Camel pilots around half died in training or accidents. Flying especially early was inherently dangerous let alone the bit about being shot at. Falling asleep I am sure one or two of those accidents happened too from exhaustion. Congrats on your gongs!

Say hello to my little friend!
Polovski replied to Creaghorn's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Congrats to you and your missus Creaghorn, looks like he'll have some fun growing up :) -
We aren't ready to show anything yet Olham. When we are we will :)

Hold down the time acceleration keys. It will still accelerate in bursts.

Devs: possible little bug?
Polovski replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Yeah it's the least we can do for the 10982373 posts of Snipes Widow :). I must say that Old Speckled Hen did it for me. So you pilots of several 1000 hours flying and 2093847 lives later think the Camel is too tame, I seem to remember a lot of the opposite comments some time back. Now it's too tame ;). I lost countless pilots making the FM with Hans and think we have a good one there. From what I read it killed novice or pilots unaware of it's traits. Experienced Pilots tended to live a bit longer.
