OFF is more than a mod, it's a complete rewrite of the game. Basically right now I just want to play around in canvas byplanes.

I wish you good luck in this painful journey ahead of you. I will not mod CFS3 with the PTO mods ever again.

Until they're finished...

The pacific air war is cool....

Yeah I've still got my copy of OFF from when it came out, what I remember of it, it was really awesome. Now I feel like going to storage and digging around in boxes for five hours trying to find it!

If you and Steve get OFF up and running, tell me about it. I might want to go get back into CFS3 again. I have my stock install plus a few planes on my system now. I added the AvH B-17, a (crappy looking) B-29, and I think there was another one....I can't remember off the top of my mind.

I bought CFS3 about six months ago but after using every tweak I still couldn't get it installed properly on W7.

For those of you who like to barrel-roll in the sky above WWII-torn Europe, the Battle of Britain II has just gotten a new upgrade, version 2.12.

Don't ask me about it, I have it no longer installed. But when I had, it was easily the best - and numerically most overwhelming - WWII-air simulation I have ever played. And quite difficult to fly, maintaining situational awareness, spotting enemy planes and keeping an eye on them, and getting along with the physically very correct flightmodels is a very different ballgame here than it is in more game-like IL-2. I admit I sucked in dogfights in this - no fault of the game, but incompetence by me. The title also offered me the biggest air battles and the largest sky armadas since European Air War, plus campaign mode with live command room coverage with you sitting at the big map and giving orders for your squadrons and airfields.

---

Beside that note, it seems I have moved out completely of air combat titles. I have downloaded again the latest Falcon BMS version, wanting to check if now it works more stable for me than two or three years ago. But I still have not felt like wanting to get into it. - When I even ignore my once oh so beloved Falcon, than my life indeed has changed. All my flying today is centred exclusively on FSX.

As of now, I'm diggin' BoBII with all the sweet, sweet upgrades.

I've got Rise of Flight, but my poor, old machine just ain't to snuff graphics-wise for the game to be truly enjoyable to me. I play it only every now and then.

I also eagerly await the stand-alone version of OFF and may just wander over into "modern," aircraft one day.
