It was the game i bought prior to IL2, played for a while then got hooked on IL2 ,since pc format i never got round to installing again. Didn't know too much about patches etc. then. so you never know :hmm: might stick it back in for a play about.

So it is worth getting? RB was my first proper combat sim and loved it. I won't get CFS3 just for OFF and the way it is hard to get hold of I don't like....
Does it have multiplayer? |

I've definitely been looking for a WWI flight sim.

Since you asked my opinion I'd say that the damamge models in OFF are not terrible but also not fantastic. I too have emptied my guns into an enemy plane with no apparent effect but at other times I've been able to knock them out with a short burst or two.
As far as the damage models for the player aircraft go I'd say that even relatively small amounts of damage makes the plane very hard to control and don't get me started on the accuracy of ground fire! I don't fly over enemy lines below 3000ft for that reason. |

I don't have OFF or CFS3 and won't pay a mod group $50 for a mod that is based an original game, no matter how big the makeover.
So looks like First Eagles with expansion and mods is the way to go... |

Now can someone properly compare it to RB3D?

How realistic is the game? I have been watching some videos and saw tanks being taken out by the planes mounted machine guns - not sure if this was possible?
Does look good I have been playing IL2 - amazing!!! Cannot believe I did not know the game existed until a few weeks ago! I am always on the look out for realistic sims, of all types, but most of the ones I find seem to be pre 2000. Good up-to-date sims need to be marketed better... swap the shampoo & insurance adverts on TV for simulator ads

anyone remember these... click i am definitely a hard-core sim fan, as in, i like hard-core sims - the more realistic the better (i love f16-falcon ). the avionics modelling on that alone is... well... it does look fun, i will have a look for a demo - you can never have enough sim games

RB3D
IMO
No WWI flight sim today can match or beat Red Baron 3D's singleplayer campaign engine. Especially when using such eye candy like ROTJ3, HASP, & FCJ to name a few. Red Baron 3D is older then Mosses and still draws attention. More so now for it's singleplayer enjoyment then it's online part. J30<>Hookman Strength & Honor

I haven't played First Eagles but I completely agree that RB3D is the best WWI sim I've ever played
BTW, what are ROTJ3, HASP and FCJ?
