Did you get out of that one Dowly?

Is the stopped prop because your engine cut or is it a screenshot thing?

Yep, I survived. Had absolutely no control over the plane, elevators, ailerons, rudder, gears, engine, everything was busted. Only thing that worked was flaps, which helped to level the plane before the ground. Lost both my wings on the landing, but managed to get out. Luckily I did, because the plane caught on fire some minutes later and exploded. And if I'm not mistaken, the village that I bombed was on Russian side of the map, so I didnt even get captured.

EDIT: Oh and as I watched the recorded track, I noticed the target was AT guns, not tanks as I first though. Just few hundred meters to the west.

Thanks Hunter. I'm quite enjoying OFF now. I'm still trying to work out how not to get shot down by the flak and ground fire though! It's deadly!

More from Sulleys career. Still going with over 5 hours flying time! Whoohoo. Longest OFF career I've had so far.

5 hours! Niiice, have yet to get a full hour

my first patrol was a 30 minute flight (engine died and had to land the bird on the ground)

but 5 hours, well if you're up to..lets see how it works online
I take it you have it patched up with the hotfix?

right might be simple solution here ....(hopes) when installing OFF do you you install to the cfs3 directory or create another folder? Previously iv'e installed to cfs3 dir. and it has overwritten all my cfs3 files and created one OFF file, which doesnt sound correct to me.

you overwritten the CFS3 map with the OFF files?

thats no good,
the installment must be next to the CFS3 folder, if you red the manual do not change the directory path of the OFF install. so when you check the Microsoft game folder you will see 3 maps

Over flander field - CFS3 - scenery

so reinstall it , and do not change the path of directory
