That isnt the same thing. The thing is, is OFF3 worth the money over OFF2?

They say it is but they say they have improved teh AI with ther coding specialist having made changes.

That suggests to me that either they have access to the source code or they have hacked the code.

If the former then MS I'm assuming would have allowed access and a license since they are charing for OFF3, if the latter then I think it is a lgeal minefield like what the DW mods are which have been cleared up.

They are saying it is almost a whole new sim with the whole thing reworked. So can anyone answer me this. Do they have the agreement from MS, access to the source code and permission to go and sell it? CFS3 is still the base and you need that in order to play OFF3 but it all suggests they have altered CFS3 coding...so what gives?

Indeed, or perhaps we are more infamous than famous. I fear we might be murdered.

Listen to this Dowly:

Let's not start another rantfest please. Seems to be a disgruntled minority anyway

Here's a good one:

That guy "StealthHunter" seems to have something personal against the OFF team and this forum. Don't know what his problem is. Here's a direct quote from one of his hate filled posts.......

"Their team can burn in hell. Forcing us to pay $50 bucks for a mod is outright robbery, and it's also illegal, too, since they edited Microsoft's original files without Microsoft's consent and re-distributed them, or so I've been informed. I'm pretty sure that they'd be interested in hearing the things OBD Software has been up to..."

Methinks he know nothing of what he speaks. What a maroon!

Well, it's quite obvious you tampered with the source code if you improved the AI that significantly, which is the part in all this that's quite illegal.

$50 is a lot of money, especially with the economy's current situation and especially when you consider that OFF is a mod, not its own stand-alone game...

We are not going to sink down to their level, so I would rather not see any more Quotes, links or any other observations about them in this thread or a new thread, if you are eager to share PM the one you want to share it with.

Thanks,
HunterICX

That thread is already 2 pages long....

And apparently, the devs over there call us subsimers for "crybaby's".....seriously, people who can't take constructive critisism deserves no form of respect from me. I will give it to them anyway, because I am not an ignorant fool.

If it's war they want, it's war they'll get, lol.

Just in case if any of you guys at Sim-Outhouse are reading this, we wouldn't pay $75 for a submarine mod... as your friend OvS insinuated. The Grey Wolves mod team has, for years, never charged a cent for all their work, and they've been happy to send out disks free of charge to people who can't download their mod. They've accepted donations, but they've never forced you to pay for anything. That is the biggest difference between OFF and GWX.

Anywho, has anyone seen the ground forces videos over at ROF's website?

I'm seriously pissed now. (I hope they read this). Take a load of this:

Edited:

I just saw what Hunter wrote earlier, and ofcourse he's right. Let's keep ourselves civilised.

I liked that last part:

Maybe the planes in OFF are too fast for them!

Does anyone else think it's kind of sad when people start to use video game references to make themselves look tough?
