I stands corrected!

General Help is where these types of queries should go. But, since you asked: http://forum.combatace.com/topic/54318-off-3/ See post #4. Oh, and welcome aboard. New guy buys the beer!

Exactly.

Thanks for that tip BB - I didn't figure that out myself. Such an embarrasment of riches when you scroll through the skins. Truly incredible. Path - as Olham stated is: (your game folder) > campaigns > CampaignData > skins The folder should be 8 down from the Medals folder. Enjoy!!!

Informative vids - thanks Olham. I remember going to Old Rheinbeck Aerodrome in NY when I was 9 years old and seeing them start these old engines - and I was hooked on WWI a/c from then on. Good times.

Trebby: Don't believe there is a solution other than a new stick that will allow you to adjust the effects outside the sim.

Oh I get the same plea but MY closet is mine! Some years back on the Battleline.com boards we were discussing Squad Leader/Advanced Squad Leader and how that system really changed the look and feel of tactical board games. I bought it back in '77 when it came out - lavendar box - and I still have The General magazine - that the ad ran in. I scanned it and here it is.

Same issue here - new rig comming Wednesday - or so states UPS. This means I should be testing by Saturday and back into OFF by Monday night.

Agreed. TrackIR becomes so "natural" as you are just looking around and not articfically manipulating a hat switch.

Some good suggestions. Is P4 even based on the CFS3 engine? If not (fingers crossed) then that opens up a whole lot of potential, yes? Ha!

I sold RW some years back - but I still have Knights of the Air and about a dozen other AH games. I don't play them but keep them for the nostalgia.

Nice!!

Thank you for that information Hood.

I've got a Logitech Force 3D Pro so I can adjust the settings via the Forecware software. So I have no issues.

Yes - that is it.

Oh that's fine - I just hope it works out for you. Sucks to lose a Pour Le Merite level pilot (lord knows I never had one) over bad drivers.

Yes, good advice, I do have some testing to do!

You don't like Il-2 1946? Don't let the name fool you - the Pacific Fighters expansion added many (not all) of the most important US and Japanese Pacific theatre planes and I believe the modders added a few more.

Olham: Everything OK w/ the new pilot?

The Hien was often mistaken for a Bf-109 by American pilots in the Pacific who were "certain" that the Japanese were using "superior" German equipment.

Dig a bit deeper to find some extra-ordinary circumstances (Norway) and a picture is not so rosey (Sweden). Hmm...perhaps the Indians and Chinese know something you don't? ***** OK, as this is a divisive topic and I do not come here for the politics/economic policy questions but rather to indulge my passion for WWI flignt simming I am signing off of this thread. On a whole different topic - just got word that my new rig shipped yesteday and will be delivered on Wed. This means I am back to OFF/HitR by next Saturday with all sliders maxed (except terrain ) - so...

It's quite simple really: 1. Almost all countries follow a socialist model 2. The model is deeply flawed as it expands entitlements to the non-productive and increasingly taxes the productive 3. The productive leave or become non-productive themselves (after all, what's the point?) 4. The model is unsustainable as revenues decrease, taxes become confiscatory, the black market flourishes and the dependent classes (almost everyone) blames the government for failing to continue to provide "their" (unearned) benefits Greece is merely an early indication of the fate of the rest of Europe. And the US? California (state w/ the highest taxes) is bankrupt, other large states (NY, MI) are following suit and we have a President who is enchanted with a model that just does not work.

I have pretty much the EXACT same PC on order from CyberPower. OFF, being based on CFS3 (old code) is not able to make use of multiple cores. But the 965 has a 3.4 Ghz per core, which is pretty beefy, so I am expecting very good results here. The GPU should be more than up to the task as well. I expect that others who already play w/ multi-cores and ATI cards will give you more specifics.

Olham - so you have the issues sorted then? I hope so for you as well as sefishly for myself as I am planning on mirroring your set-up.

You know, some years back I would spend hours benchmarking different settings w/ Fraps - taking screenies and comparing, etc. Now - no time for that and your settings yield some very tasty looking screens, so...
