the flash with the Pirate song is a P2P fanflick
(HINT: LOL LIMEWIRE!!!) there is a mayor difference between Software Piracy and the old Piracy:p , old Piracy made sense and you really had to be a tough Man , the Sofware piracy is a cheap rip off which can be performed by everyone, you just have to be a keyboard hero . Harr Harr Harr. Now mateys, keep it on track Thank you. HunterICX

Played it for 30 min... ...and went straight back to Il-2 So Phase 3 will be a vast improvement over the original, yes.

Can't blame you for not liking OFF.
There's really not as much to it as they like to think and say. They are also pretty biased about their mod, as are the users. I posted this a few pages back, but one guy on their forum posted screenshots, and didn't use the same realism settings that they used. He was caught, and they nearly tore him to pieces with criticism, negative feedback, and arrogant remarks. He hasn't posted back on their site since, and I quite frankly can't blame him. Oh, and their mod is bugged like hell. When I played it, I had files disappear, files not read correctly (even when I didn't touch them), and errors appear galore. Nothing is wrong with my computer... despite what they claimed... They said it wasn't the mod's fault, it was in fact my computer's fault. I'm not impressed with their "work", if one might call it that, at all. I think my favorite claim made by them is that no computer to date is able to run their mod with everything on full and still take advantage of everything in the game itself (according to them, it would be too laggy and objects would automatically be written out by the graphical engine's coding system). The confirmed kill system is ridiculous, too! I've shot planes down over my airfield, and haven't gotten a damned bit of credit for them. I was excited when I first saw the mod, but after a while, it just got repetitive, and the errors that shouldn't have been occurring didn't help at all, either. Their team can burn in hell. Forcing us to pay $50 bucks for a mod is outright robbery, and it's also illegal, too, since they edited Microsoft's original files without Microsoft's consent and re-distributed them, or so I've been informed. I'm pretty sure that they'd be interested in hearing the things OBD Software has been up to... |

I agree that their applications suck pretty badly, they clearly were written by an amateur. They use Visual Basic and stuff like that, and their installer for Phase 2 was a pain in the ass that was not working for the majority of people.
However, you are saying that the mod itself is overrated, and I disagree strongly. Once you sit in the plane, you see the best landscape in any flight sim (when it comes to flying low), a game world that is vast and dynamic (artillery explosions, infantry tents, etc). Sounds and graphics are fantastic and the fms, while being no more than average, are good enough for people like me. For me this is the best WW1 experience I ever hoped for. As to their community I cannot say I am very interested in them, and I don't like some things they did about their mod in the past, but this is not the only flightsim community I don't like. So what, they will fail anyway with their dreams of commercializing the mod, so we might see it in the public domain sooner or later.

One thing about OFF is that it's more interesting than other flightsims. I get more involved. I vare more about my pilot than I would in, for example, IL-2. My current active pilot (Major James Bigglesworth, VC, RNAS-8) has survived 6 months at the front, being sent to hospital twice. 42 claims, 28 comfirmed. It is now march 1917, and the war rages on...and I do NOT want to say g'bye to this one lads. I'm more careful than ever. I do myt duties, but I do not fly into big groups of 12+ enemy planes like I used to do. Now I think more before I act, and it has proven to be good for my health

Well, any sim is more involving than IL2 when it comes to pilot careers.
About the claim system and the stupid attempt to force survival gameplay on me, I just edited my pilot files in order to see the proper number of kills. It would be nice though if they would stop encrypting stuff (like the squadron data), that is very bad style for a modding group.

Good. When KotS comes out, OFF will be dead, even though their forum community says it won't be. Incompetent fools can't even realize when they've been outmatched.:rotfl:

I'm a firm believer ..... You only get as much as you pay for.
And even when you pay for it. It can still be crap. :p |
