Over Flanders Fields

That's true. OFF2 was free to begin with. Nobody was charged for it, and that's the way it should be. If the files were redistrubuted, and I did not sell nor take credit for the work, I am not breaking the law.

Since OFF2 was free, is it possible to get the files from you guys?

Boy, you know, for some reason the adventures from OFF is more worthy to tell about than from other fligthsims.

Yesterday, I took on myself one of the genuine suicide missions: Balloon busting.

So I took of from Saint-Pol-sur-Mer in my Nieuport 17, flying from RNAS-8.
I went to a high altitude, coming over the front, I could see the yellow gas monster far below me, on the other side of the front (Naturally). I thought I'd do it fast and painfree, didn't want to linger in the area. I went down in a mighty dive. Just when I thought "Boy I'm lucky there is no escort flights in the area" I saw a big group of Albatroses dive out of the sun. Bummer, I thought, but I went on. I got about 2000 meters from the balloon when I commenced fireing, and down it went. Then I turned like a rocket towards my own lines. I tried to get some altitude so the Jerries on the ground wouldn't get a new target to practice on. As I went over the first line of the British trenches, I could here gunfireing behind me. Sure enough, one of the Jerry pilots (probably a rookie) had chased me back to my own lines, on an altitude not more than 3000 meters. Not a very wise decision, I'm sure you'd agree. So, to make a long story short, I shot him in flames, and the Tommies at the Somme had at least something to talk about before the night of terror could begin. When I came back to base, I filed in my claims (one balloon, one Albatros). The HomeOffice said that they'd process the claim about the airplane, but apparently noone from the division had seen me take down the balloon, so they had to deny that one

Sounds like another day in the office for me in IL2. My usual offline sortie goes something like this:

-Briefing, escort them JU88s to someplace,somehow.
-Take off
-2min later, I give the bombers the finger and head alone (in best case I have a wingman, usually dont) towards the frontlines.
-Over the front, I spot either a small group of fighters or C47s, going in.
-Bag one, about to give the other one lead poisoning when I glance to my 6 and see 10+ fighters on me.
-Radio for help, incase I have an wingman, I order him to attack and leave him there while going low and fast to home.
-Get hit and either make a crashlanding or find the nearest airbase to put my bird down.

13 sorties flown, I think 2 safe landings without damage, 4 kills. :p

On other News,

there will be no more mentioning of sharing Phase II around here,
on the official OFF website the following message:

PREVIOUS PHASE 2 WEBSITE AND DOWNLOADS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE
However Phase 2 is still available if you ask in our OFFICIAL FORUM - there is a DVD swap sticky thread there where you can ask!
* PLEASE DO NOT HOST OUR FILES ON OTHER SITES *
- THIS IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT and COPYRIGHT OBD SOFTWARE -

Its copyrighted material and we will have to respect it.

See, they´re tossers.

[Tchocky]

You must be joking.

I've been waiting to fire up CFS3 (a game I hate) just to play this game. Now that I've got a halfway-decnt internet connection to d/l this mod, they make it payware.

[HunterICX]

I know how that feels,
sucks indeed but there is little we can do about it.
you still can get Phase II by swapping out DVD's I dont know how it works but you could perhaps find it out urself on their forum.

Lol, yeh. That's the ridiculous part of this, you can still get it on DVD, but you cant D/L it. The devs are getting nothing from the DVD swap as it's done between the players. What's the point?

Only reason (although almost as stupid as P3 being payware) I can think of is that they are pulling out the links so they dont have to pay to upkeep the files, I think they were using rapidshare the last time I downloaded it. How about spreading the files around abit the next time? I bet they could get lots of hosts for free that would love to host it.

[FIREWALL]

Thought something like this would happen.
Instead of buying Microcrap to play it I bought this.
