That's actually a pretty good motto to live by.:up:

OFF3 has been hyped like so many other games before that we've had to pay for, and like so many others, I doubt if it will offer any major improvements over its predecessor. Despite some of the outrageous and stupendous claims the team has been making (some of which completely defy the abilities of CFS3's program engine).

Never did like the mod all that much to begin with. I'll take Red Baron 3D's FULL CANVAS JACKET over OFF any day of the week. That was a game that had taste, style, and came at a great price. Too bad nobody plays it anymore. The sites that I used to download a lot of skins off of are now slowly dying, and it is becoming an old relic of the past... but it still was a helluva lotta fun.

Wouldn't that make the payware mods for Flight Simulator (pretty much any version) illegal as well?

If they edited the core files and then redistributed them, yep, it would.

If that's the case, check out the EULA and License agreement for CFS3. Chances are there's a clause about modifying the game like this. Perhaps then give OFF a chance to remove the pricing? If memory serves, modification and distribution isn't nessicarily illegal, but charging for the distrobution is.

I guess the question is where they crossed the line if they did. Perhaps Microsoft would know?

Phase 3 is perfectly legal as Phase 3 still requires the original CFS3 game as base (discs & Installation) in order to run which makes Phase 3 a Add-on.

its an unnofical Add-on, just like seawolfs battle of the mediterranean.

dont think that OBD is that dumb to challenge Microsoft.

When I downloaded OFF, I also got the main CFS3 engine in the main installer of the download (engine and the engine files; found it was possible to run CFS3 via these files without much change save for the loss of my preferences and career files). In that case, it's illegal. Some of the basic coding files had been edited, too (physics files differed from my CFS3 original copy).

OBD, after dealing with them in the past, they aren't as brilliant as they'd like to think. Even then, if it was illegal, it's doubtful Microsoft would even try to remember such an abominable game. They're probably still trying to bury it.

Any news?:hmm:

Yeah well, I experienced that too with my new copy of CFS3. It appears you have to use the second disk from the original release....:doh:

My system:

Intel Core CPU 6400 2.13 GHz
2GB RAM
Nvidia GF 7950GT OC (I've had some troubles with this card though, gets too warm all the time, freezing up my games when I play...never when I play OFF though).

I'll have to look up my specs. for OFF later on, don't know right now, but I agree that the game looks pretty neat from time to time!:D

Any updates on the newest phase?
