Currently landing isn't something we've implemented for AI. They usually do eventually try but usualyl fly miles out before trying - often they crash. Just land yourself, and esc, exit mission to hangar. Or exit near airfield. The end of day notes are what happened to pilots DURING THAT DAY so craft can be lost afterwards maybe on other missions, on landing, in other accidents. It basically accounts for all scenarios use your imagination, maybe some went out on another patrol etc. 2 seater gunner ? Yes.

Yep we are looking. Try adjusting the terrain and scenery a notch down and see Creaghorn? Usually higher is better, but try please.

Wind effects your aim now, as does less obvious huge visual clues at mega range - these combine to give a much more realistic feel to kills. DM is generally easier with fixes as per other thread. Some with wrong DM could have some odd parts tougher but generally they are all were they should be now.

Nope we get break ups all the time, wings, fires all sorts, we didn't make them all tougher, in fact some are weaker but because several had the completely wrong DM (older tougher). Other parts are weaker too now, play some more. Also you won't see great big clunks of smoke at 300 yards come off now, we reduced the size of the distant effects so you could still be hitting just have to look harder for visual clues at range (and hence maybe you miss a bit more now, together with the wind effecting your aim). So no they aren't tougher per se. Maybe stick gun damage up if you want more kills and more booms.

Yes as I said the download link window will sometimes not increase the number if you leave it open until you have a successful download. There no specific info that says it's definitely Avangate themselves. If others get it OK and some don't then it suggests internet routing too, or other issues.

System restore.. to revert a major patch into the same folder I never tried it with OFF so who knows. Looking into the problem, it is because of the Player custom skin feature, the player's craft is now a unique instance and so affects loadout workings etc. We can't have that and custom fuel at same time. Thanks for reporting it, see known issues sticky. Olham that's because it IS a stuffed goose lol. Well a stuffed Albatros anyway.

Always best to install all patches first.

Yeah Windchill DH5 is a tricky thing to fight in, it's underpowered too but very sturdy. Stay lower, use dive more (it's best trait). Keep the nose on the horizon (or lower) turn steady. It's OK but in a dogfight you can't see behind either so you really want to have your top cover - as you will find later on in campaigns as the DH5 is assigned (dangerous) ground attack role duties it will often have top cover escorts as it did in WW1.

OK "lost for the moment unless you made a backup and know what to do" I'm typing quickly Chris so many hairs can be split ;) Anyway the changes are significant enough to notice in HitR hence I'd say at least try it first before modding.

Ok good to know thanks Greg

Go to Workshop what does it say bottom right ?

Morris, didn't you have the problem with Esc Laf ? If so you may need to "reset CFS3" and maybe reinitialise OFF from workshop. Before that can you send that mission with the error to support address Morris? OFF_Camp_Mission.xml in your \CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\missions\historical\ subfolder. Thanks

Guys just for your info the distant effects (and many other effects) were hugely reduced and cleaned in HitR - many changes in fact, so maybe try out the new stuff first guys?

Of course you can reinstall it if you have the file still. You only need insurance if you think you might lose it at some point.

Thanks Greg, good luck. Sounds like a tricky place to deal from :/

Hi Greg, yes it's possible to have it gifted there's an option on the checkout. Sorry I have no idea on China and blocking Avangate. In the first instance send the query to Avangate as they may have had this questions before from other customers in China, and may have the answers otherwise get a friend to get it for you ?

Even normal wind does not effect AI in CFS3 or OFF currently and not in many other sims either. We can look to see what is possible for P4. Wind effects on AI will take up a lot more CPU processes, sometimes in a sim you have to compromise some things for the sake of sanity and performance.

Thanks guys, I think it is caused by the Esc Laf using a none-allowed character on one letter. Esc Américaine So for the moment avoid the Esc Laf between April - Nov 1916 until we work a fix - thanks.

Unfortunately it's not a tiny 256 colour bitmap anymore like RB, we need a full featured graphics packed to make proper custom skins. But there are 4000 skins in there now so I'm sure there's a couple you might like off the shelf for most craft.

Lol thanks Parky. Yeah we know where we want to be, P79 just many steps to get there ;)

OBD Software is proud to announce the availability of our new HAT IN THE RING! Expansion for Over Flanders Fields: Between Heaven and Hell. Please see our website for details. http://www.overflandersfields.com Remember to use CTRL+F5 on the main page and other pages to refresh the page to the new ones if your browser shows the old pages!

To be fair guys it's an option offered by Avangate that no one is forcing you to select. If you don't want a permanent link stored for you for two years (maybe we are long gone by then?) then don't select it. Otherwise do what most do and download the file and look after it like any product. Burn it to CD, put it on a backup disk whatever? Obviously we aren't inhuman and if the link broke during your first initial download no one will be left in the lurch without a file.

That would be new feature to have full in game tracking of all events for all things and then processed etc. We made no changes there. We said all along that would likely be a P4 feature if possible.

The file size is 409MB (428,958,853 bytes). If you get a smaller one it did not download properly. Often the counter does not go down if you have the File download link window still open you can sometimes try again -worth keeping it that way until you are happy it's downloaded OK.

Could be a problem with a particular squad or whatever. Which squad? Also do you know if your BH&H was not fully up to date before installing?
