Over Flanders Fields
I had a quick look at a few pages back on this forum and could not see any recent thread for OFF.
Wondered if anyone is playing this at the minute and would like to tell me is it worth getting? For those that don't know it - http://offaerodrome.com/OFFweb/ |

DL NOW! That's a bloody order! Take it as a friendly advice from someone who has played it. I can barely believe that this masterpiece is a freeware!

As long as you have the time for it, it's a great game. No autopilot nor time acceleration.

You won't regret it. It does take up some time though as there is no TC or Autopilot option which means you have to fly the things yourself all the time. It is quite immersive though as far as the CFS model lets you be.

You know, there is this X button you can press if you get enough speed at a special altitude, if you press it, you skip to next part where something happens (like for instance, you get attacked).

Meh, download it. Not a bad mod, but it's missing a few things here and there.
A word of advice, though: conform to the settings other players use on their forum. I didn't, and I admitted it. Unfortunately, I was nearly burned alive. Had people swarming all over me criticizing the way I played the game. Never went back there again. Here's an example (more recent one at that): http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=62873 They jumped on him like a pack of ravaging wolves going for a rabbit. I must agree with him, though (AceHunter). It's just a game... EDIT: Also, don't criticize a thing about the mod (textures, sound, anything along those lines). That's not being sarcastic, either. I've seen people on the forum pull that stuff, and they last maybe two hours before they've got people jabbing broken glass in their ass. Unlike our GWX team (bless 'em), these guys don't take kindly to honest opinions (some do, but be prepared to have a lot of resistance anyway...). |

I'll have to get CFS3 now! You guys have made me want to fly after years of patrols beneath the seas!

I've wanted this for ages but at 500mb no way. My service has a 100mb dl limit. Had to get a friend to mail me GWX 2.0 and that was nowhere near OFF's size. Now if there was a cd/dvd available I'd be more than willing to pay for it.

Bah, I was looking forward to getting it but the store that had CFS3 on its shelves for ages suddenly got rid of it. Now see if I can find it anywhere

If I got up in the middle of the night to DL files for a game my wife would then have proof that I'm out of my mind. Right now she only suspects. If anyone has any ideas I'm open to suggestion.
