Ok just meant to watch for it is all - we did a lot of work to eliminate, so some tweaks could bring them back. By flamer I mean someone on fire who never crashes.

As Von P says reduce settings on terrain and scenery. Looks like memory overload on GPU. Also maybe something in the graphics config (AA settings etc are too high).

Thanks Erik. You can only do what you can do no more, we know the feeling in the OFF team burning the candle at two ends and the middle ;). Welcome back uncleal hopefully the helpful one can stay longer :).

BTW MVR was shot down or forced down twice by British 2-seater pilots as far as I know. JFM may be able to verify. So even more luck that he lived to get more kills!

BTW just a note with flames in other locations there's a possibility of "flamers" ..worth checking. One of the reasons there aren't more there.

Yes it was generally fixed where possible in craft that were reported as having it. I certainly don't remember anyone reporting DFW with a problem. It is a CFS3 issue and can also happen with a no-cd exe or v.3.0 exe as MS fixed something in there regarding bullet hits. Check that first and see if anyone else has it. If it is an issue I doubt we can fix for P3 now.

There's a little bit on the homepage in the middle column further down, plus what do I need is in the FAQ as the guys say.

There's a little bit more info on the bottom of the page here http://quaero.unm.edu/~justin/off/did/rules.html (Which is the rules page for "DiD" Campaign designed by Siggi http://quaero.unm.edu/~justin/off/did/navigation.html)

Thanks vonOben for the explanation and I understand it was not intended, but due to translation etc. As this is our official forum we just prefer people can take a moment to consider the best introduction to a post so everyone can see things in a clear perspective.

Sorry missed this one, send your order details to support with a detailed description of what squad/date etc you are flying (i.e. how to reproduce the issue) and we'll try to help.

You are welcome Johan217. Hope you enjoy OFF.

As the guys say (thanks) since 2005 we have made changes and improvements many times from feedback. We have also asked for feedback often for specific changes. You can see a little history by looking on our download pages, and clicking on "Release notes" that will give you some idea of the free changes and improvements in Phase 3 BH&H alone, not including HITR or past Phases http://www.overflandersfields.com/ReleaseNotes.htm. P3 has been out for quite some time now, and as Creaghorn eludes, posting seemingly harsh headings all at once in the forum for some reasonably minor issues doesn't really help us now. Forums often force issues to other forum sections, as a few critical posts suddenly appearing all up the main forum page can put people off when the other greater good things aren't mentioned at all by the poster. It's not what you are asking it's "how" you are asking that does not help. "Unrealistic OFF environment" to me means you think the whole of the environment is unrealistic? We think the environment is very good better than most sims out there. Yes as always there are the oddities as in all sims, and we are always trying to make it better. "Flying time still not correct? Can't the OFFManager count time?" "still not correct" sounds like it was fixed before several times and is still broken. This is not the case. Can't it count? Yes it counts a tremendous amount of data all hidden that you are unaware of. Some things the sim engine reports we cannot always measure easily in P3. We hope we can do more in P4. Anyway we are aware of many things, but all the major and many minor issues have been tweaked or fixed already. P3 is "done" as we did any important reported issues and are on P4 now. P3 is stable, well featured, and apart from the odd minor issue as good as P3 gets. P4 will be far better and that's where we are concentrating now.

He was banned as far as I know. Something got out of hand and kaboom.

The point at which sims aren't updated and improved will be a sad day but a good time for WW1 simmers at last!

Thanks guys, as WM says if we can find round it we will in P4.

I think WM has said enough for now - we are improving everything we can if it's possible (and trying to make sure we can release before 2029) so back to top secret mode mwhahahaaa..

Sure, but there are many things, not just that - and I think we are at some point meant to talk to our partners, eat food and apparently there's a "sleep" thing I heard of ;). I think WM is making that one up though as I am sure he only read it somewhere.

Great job Hellshade thanks. Aye Rabu many things have been pointed out unfortunately we are flat out trying to make P4.

If you use TrackIR F8 is used by that by default, so use Shift+F8 (goes backwards to rear gunner instead) or reassign TIR.

Usually a bad idea. They MAY work sometimes, but so many things have changed along the way it's possible they'll break and make something hang. There are p3/ BH&H compatible missions here on CA I think in the downloads area. Anyway missions need to be put into one of the country folders in \OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\missions\scenarios depending on which craft the player flies. i.e. if you fly a British aircraft in that mission put it in ..\OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\missions\scenarios\Britain, then you can access it from Quick Scenarios using a British Pilot.

Or invest in Fraps and you can record your flights when things start to get interesting then make a Windows movie maker film of it later with all the good bits :)

BTW that only turns off the visual foggy effect in a cloud, not turbulence of course (which is reduced anyway now and no need to worry :))

As has been mentioned before in the forums we would need another few 1000 skins to cover every squad at every location and craft and date (they change a lot too over time). Don't worry, turn off warnings in workshop if you get pop ups about missing skins. I don't have P3 installed anymore so can't currently but maybe someone with a default install can tell you how many they have. In my P4 test install "off_Strutter_t_RFC-45 1917.dds" exists, just not the one for 1916 (see what I mean ;)). If you like copy that skin and rename it to off_Strutter_t_RFC-45 1916 and you can have a 1917 skin for that squadron instead until we one day have a 1916 one?

Yes air activity is ramped up dynamically during major battles. As said before until every single plane that existed is there, it won't be perfect but the idea is there :)

It was as far as I know a one off lasted 1hr 15. It's been discussed on the forum before http://combatace.com/topic/56348-fighting-the-red-baron-uk-tv-programme/page__p__417789
