Hats off to OBD software!
Typhoon replied to Slick Wilhelm's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Slick Wilhelm: If you go here: http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6204 Bonz has provided a profile for OFF Phase III using Fighterstick, Pro Throttle, and Pro Pedals using Control Manager. It assumes TrackIR use and so minimizes views. Tony -
Has anyone seen "Passchendaele the Movie"? I don't think there is any flying in it but it is supposed to show the horrors of life and death in the trenches. I do have a copy of it, but am waiting until I have my Home theater finished to view it. so I can get the full effect. IIRC it was shot in Shredward's home province of Alberta 2 yrs ago. Tony

WINNER OF SKINNING CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT!
Typhoon replied to MK2's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
"One last word about why theres no elevator marking on the upper side surface, there was a small texture repeat problem on the elevator so I decided to leave it out." Great job FUBAR, enjoy the Monitor I thought that you were just ahead of your time with the "Stabilator" that allowed Chuck Yeager to break the sound barrier in the Bell X-1 Tony -
See post #14 of this thread. BTW Computer Pilot Magazine did not reply to my e-mail Tony

Received this reply from PC Pilot Magazine: Hi Tony, Thanks for your email, but we have already covered OFF in issue 41 of PC Pilot. We are aware of the new version so we will include an appraisal in a future issue. Kind regards, Derek Editor – PC Pilot
-
CJ: As much as I would like to take credit for it, it was not my handiwork. It was on the old OBD website during Phase ll I believe. IIRC that was something Mr Shredward authored Tony
-
Barnstorm: I also sent an email to Computer Pilot as well as PC Pilot basically saying the same as you. Hope something comes of it. Tony

Quick! Someone throw a bucket of water on them. Tony

P3 Current Status and the future of OFF
Typhoon replied to Winder's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Further to what I said earlier in this thread, We as in the "OFF Community" have to get the word out to anyone who will listen, and even those who don't, how great this sim is. Winder and the Devs have done their part, now it it is up to us to do our part. Go to every forum you belong to and sing the praises of OFF BHaH. Tell all your friends and relatives about it. As was said above start emailing reviewers asking them what they thought of it. I'm sure if sales improve enough a new engine can be aquired that will enable easier online play. Come on guys and gals lets make a concerted effort to get the word out, It is time to do our part. Tony -
P3 Current Status and the future of OFF
Typhoon replied to Winder's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Mr Winder and the rest of the Devs: OFF BHaH is simply a phenomenal sim. Words cannot accurately describe it. It has to be experienced to be fully appreciated. I subscribe to various FS magazines and to date I have not seen any mention of OFF in any of them. I'm sure that copies were sent to them for review and given the lead time required these reviews should be forthcoming. This should pique the interest of the FS community and hopefully generate more sales. In any case you fellows have done an outstanding job of making a silk purse out of a sows ear (CFS3). If an add-on is developed I will be first in line for it. Thanks again for all your effort!! Tony -
AlacrityPC configuration guide
Typhoon replied to HomeBoy's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Great Job Thanks HB As was mentioned earlier this should be a sticky Tony -
I voted OK. Not to rehash things but the super accurate ground fire, AI telescopic vision, and the two seater accuacy are all things that IMHO could be tweaked. Don't get me wrong this is a great sim and the Devs are to be commended for their dedication, and hard work. Tony

What do you play most? QC or Campaign mode?
Typhoon replied to Hellshade's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
I am probably evenly split between Campaign & QC. Depending on my mood at the time or how much time before SWMBO gets home. I usually have a couple of pilots on the go at any one time. One or two for QC and one strictly for Campaign. I once made the mistake of using my Campaign pilot in QC, you guessed it, got a case of target fixation, I wasn't too careful and he augered in and I lost him. Oh well 14+ hrs. down the drain, time to start " Baron Wolfgang von Schafft" again. Tony -
Sounds like the two Newfies who went ice fishing and got run over by a Zamboni!! Tony My aplologies to the great people of Newfoundland, but that was the way I heard it.

I'm gonna take a wild guess here, and suggest that you start with "Gimpy's" Tips and Cheats Tony

The vibration are from Bass Shakers or Butt Kickers. Many Home theater systems use them. I have a set that is going into my gaming unit. Google "bass shakers" to find out more about them. They really add to the immersion factor, some say even more than a FF joystick.

Musical Score for OFF movie 11
Typhoon replied to BH_von Weyer's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Matt: I have nothing but the utmost admiration for your score for BHaH. Speaking as someone with 2 tin ears and unable to carry a tune in a basket, I don't know how you manage it. Every time I boot up the game the musical score gives me goosebumps and I usually sit mesmerized by it. Tony -
Catfish: I believe this is a mechanism for starting the engine, rather than have some poor "Erk" have to pull the prop by hand. Tony

I love all your stuff Catch. I just wish I had the talent. Tony
