I think it would have the same kind of dificulty settings where you can enable/disable realism options.

Basically, yeah.

Stealth Hunter, I don't see how you can be even a little objective in your comparisons when you don't even have OFF BH&H. If you did, you'd have your own screenshots and not mine.

Impressive, yes, and the FMs are probably excellent, but how is this thing with stuff like systems modelling? Can we do, say, a detailed / realistic startup procedure if we so choose - simple as it may be with planes this old and straightforward?

PS. And oh yeah, the most realistic CFS so far is DCS:Black Shark of course

Agreed with that, DCS black shark has to be the best combat flight sim i have seen in realism. almost every system modeled.

and I think the aircraft/ground vehicles look a bit better.

I did play it, remember?

Cameljockey · 06-13-09, 07:55 AM

You said you did, but I seriously doubt that that is true. You've been an avid OFF basher for a good while and I really don't believe there's any way that you could make a subjective comparison. IMHO, your comparison is moot. The screenshots that you posted looked suspiciously like shots from Phase 2 (with the exception of the Phase 3 shots you used that were mine). I've been flying OFF Phase 2 since April of '07 and BH&H since it came out in Jan '09 and I can tell the difference.

Believe what you like then.

I have this game,but to be quite honest i loaded it up some time ago, around the same time i loaded IL2. I think i played it once, but IL2 was more pleasing to the eye, so i kinda got attached to IL2 and F.S. got shelved and never got round to installing again. If i recall the graphics were nothing to write home about, and the gameplay..... well honestly i never gave it a chance. Might dig it out of the dusty old shoebox and try again

Biggles · 06-13-09, 12:42 PM

Everyone can't like the same things. I for example, think that the game Half Life 2 is very mediocre, while the rest of the world praise it as the best game ever etc....

FIREWALL · 06-13-09, 02:12 PM

I have a question.

Do's OFF run on the CFS3 engine ?

I hope I'm asking this right.

OFF runs on the CFS3 engine, and needs the original CFS3 to work

FIREWALL · 06-13-09, 02:21 PM

Thx Raptor1

I just got off of ebay looking at it and the average price for a new sealed cfs3 is $15.00 + shipping.

They also have cfs3 Battle over Europe at an average of $18.00 +shipping.

How much is OFF going for if I might ask ?

BTW both versions said XP was the OS it can run on.
