No but some people see that. If you had Phase 2 installed, or have problems try increasing EFFECTS slider to 5. Increase Aircraft slider to 5.

Also try decreasing terrain or scenery slider.

Also try RESET CFS3 in workshop (loses pilots).

Try settings graphics settings (see FAQ near the top)

Choose another squad or later date if no enemy, maybe there are too few enemy squads in that area..

Hi VF101_KurtStudent

You have ALL your ammo already loaded at the start!

shift+c simulates the reload.. so you could fire 1 drum worth (97 rounds in later Nieups, and then shift+C pretend you reloaded..)

N11 had smaller capacity drums so has very few total ammo

N16-17 have 97 round mags so total is higher.

If you want loads of ammo none historical, put unlimited ammo on in the workshop.

Note guns can jam - short bursts

Thanks to Davy for pointing this out, we did arrange for a DVD to go to Motors TV for review, and it was on tonight apparently and is repeated a few times over next 2 weeks.

Motors TV (TV Motors in UK)

SKY channel 413, Virgin 545 in UK.

schedule for this http://www.motorstv.com/mag/3d-motors

Next viewing is Friday midnight or maybe Saturday 0:30 in UK.

No worries..if you fancy making a WW1 crate though go for it :)

Great job Homeboy, will really help old hands and new players.

Minor ones I spotted ;

Spoilers Dive brakes - D

Open Bomb bay - Shift+B

both used by the Sop. Strutters.

Good tips Herr Prop-Wasche. It was something pilots would avoid for sure - good in an emergency to escape or hide, but bad as a general day to day choice. You could for real end up flipped or disorientated or worse.

Very odd. Next time can you make notes of exact date /squad/location etc?

Cheers

Hi Stratos, what graphics card you you have?

Check the FAQ, and set up your graphics settings slider lower and see if it helps. See here

http://www.overflandersfields.com/FAQ.htm#...on_and_settings

If you have a card that is not ATI or NVidia, you may have problems too. Try checking video settings and turning off Anti-aliasing if you use it.

Fantastic prize, thanks to CombatAce! Get those paint packages working overtime guys!

No doubt they had shortages and had to swap to old craft from time to time, so actually pretty good anyway Shred.

Welcome phoenixhawk13, great to hear people enjoying OFF in the way it was meant to be - thanks for the comments.

Glad the guys in the forum behaved themselves too :) well done to the guys n gals.

That will be Fates who did that good init?

Yep best idea is to lick your finger and stick it in the air as good as anything ;)

Send a mail to support Jenkins, with their order numbers in there and we'll try to help.

Maybe your antivirus is scanning it etc, as I say that's a drive error. Usually when it becomes "disconnected".

If you have an AV make sure it's up to date too.

Guys, try deleting all pilots, and ResetCFS from workshops.

No idea on that one hiccup, if you have a USB drive and OFF is on there, maybe it disconnected or something. Can't really help for issues when OFF aint running lol.

Aroth if you reinstalled from scratch and still getting oddities then something is screwed elsewhere.

It sounds like you aren't running the OFF Manager properly, or you didn't clean out the old problem one completely first.

http://www.overflandersfields.com/FAQ.htm#A21

See from "If you have other odd errors:"

Check your drive for errors, right click on a the drive in My Computer, Properties, Tools, Check now.

Make sure you run OFF Manager from the new shortcut

>>"This time, it wanted the OFF Disc back in the drive as well as the CFS disc."

What does that mean?? When you install OFF it will run, find CFS3 install if you have it, then carry on. It will not want the disk back in if the install has completely finished. Make sure you don't take the disk out early it takes a while to install and unpack.

Thanks Lou.

 

I think aiming at the center and then correcting is probably the way to go.

 

What are the sights for? They seem to be a redundant piece of metal that adds to drag.

With TIR you can move your eye and line up on the tracers and hold it there for subsequent shots. Wobbly yes, but in real life you'd also have a 100mph wind. G force and extreme cold to deal with so yes they'd be pretty useless. Use the tracers, that's what they are for.

F6 fixed sights view is fun, but completely unrealistic.

The Iron sights view isn't in the EIII it's just a bit zoomed in view. Don't use F6 in that craft if you want to look down the sights.

TIR is the way for that, or use the tracers.

Yes flying at full throttle is not fuel efficient for sure, and also make sure you lean the engine. Also these crates weren't designed to fly at "warp" speed ;)

Warp is quite bad at fuel usage so stop and check often if you use warp.

Feel free to point out to your commander that the mission could be too far for your fuel load and try an alternative target ;)

You should always be aiming for the front, and for that you require to be above the enemy, or deflection 10 degrees or so. Dead astern you will miss the wings an awful lot given you are mostly edge on.

Hi Krasny

Hopefully when you have played some more over the years you won't think it's such a bad price :)

1. Change your desktop Aspect to Widescreen setting in "workshop" button (go in there look far left).

change to 16:10

If still a problem then make sure your desktop DPI is 120 or 96.

Go to your desktop and right click on it somewhere empty, select Display Properties. Click Advanced. Change the DPI settings from whatever it is to 120 or 96.

Try OFF again. It may need a reboot first.

2. They are there, they start above your field when you take off. Turn labels on, or use the tactical awareness (shift T) to see other aircraft (pres T once to just show aircraft).

Aces can only die on the day they really did, otherwise it wouldn't be historic - all the historical data would then be out of whack ;)

But as they guys say you can down them, but they will escape to come back and fight until their day is come..

Thanks for the help for Beerthirty, maybe this will move go to the knowledge base when Beerthirty has read it.
