Forgive the dumb question but dumb is what I does bestest.

Is OFF a stand-alone game or is it an online game?

I am hopping for a stand-alone game as I don't really like online games.

From what I have seen on the webpage, this looks like a really fun WWI sim.

I'm pretty excited about this. (OFF) CFS3 stinks, but OFF looks really good. I e-mailed them, and got a snippy answer back .

If he means he emailed and was barked at by the OFF mod team, then I wouldn't be surprised. I've said before that many of the people who belong to their forum and who are part of the mod team have ego issues and trouble with arrogance. They won't admit that when Rise of Flight comes out, their mod will no longer be the best WWI flight simulation out there.

It's not *cough*RB3D*cough*

I doubt very much that P3 will beat RB3D (P2 doesn't come close, from what I've seen)

I think I did not make myself clear. I know that OFF requires CFS3. I was asking whether this mod is an online game play only or whether it is a single player game. Sorry for the confusion.

That's basically it. "It'll be ready when it's ready! don't ask us anymore." They probably get that question a lot.

excellent. Thanks. With the current trend of online games, it was unclear to me. As a general rule I don't like online games and especially when it comes to Flight Sims as while I love them, I totally stynk at playing them.


I think this looks like a pretty good game. I submitted my information for learning when it will come out.

Any guesses on when it will come out?

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I have not seen any "ego issues" or "trouble with arrogance" on the part of the OFF development team. From my observation, they have been extremely courteous and friendly to everyone on their forum, at least as far as I can see. They say they do enforce a "no flame war" policy on their board, so it's possible they may have prematurely cut off some discussions in the past, but I have not seen this since I started lurking on their board.

As developers of the mod, they are entitled to the final say on all decisions related to the flavor, design, and performance of the mod. If you don't care for their decisions, don't buy it. You can always design your own super mod.

Since it will probably be 18 months to two years before RoF comes out, I don't think I can argue with you on that. :p
