Basic questions

If I press Briefing room in campaign, I have "Runtime error '13' ":( I use 1.9 plus the hot fix
 
As I said before: Campaign wouldn't run on non-English systems, until you change your regiolnal language setting to "English (USA)".
In German, that's in "Systemsteuerung", but I don't know how that's called in your system.
Cheers; Olham
 
That little FIX happens to be, in the OFF Tips & Cheats, which it seems you never bothered to read. Perhaps now you'll find the time.:wavey:
 
Thank you guys. I hope it's gonna work. I've read that sticky thread, but I couldn't remember reading about this when the problem occured. In the future, I'll re-check that thread first.
 
Please to double check, post #16 . . Video Performance :ernae:
 
Yepp, found it, thanks! Also, good to know it's useless to set clouds above 3. I had them maxed out.
 
O-oh...I can't fly anymore, it sais my "unlimitedpilot.xml file got corrupted" what should I do now? :(
 
Couple Easy things to correct( IF ) they exist:

OFF Doesn't like more than 14 pilots at any one time

Make Sure your pilots don't feature ANY Punctuation in their name

John Le~Bron

Bill "butcher" Hayes

Mike Johnson Jr.

Then again you could have a corrupted file, it's been known to happen :isadizzy::isadizzy:
 
I had one with a punctuation, I retired him, now I have only one correct, but I can not enlist him nor retire, nor set as active. I can't fly at all :(( The file itself is corrupted..what should I do now? Any other solution than a reinstall?
 
You could go into Workshop and push delete pilots, you ain't got nothing to lose. There are some people who just replace files, I ain't one of'em
Maybe somebody else will chime in
 
I could at last (and still can) play "Campaign", since I deleted all pilots; then pressed "manual install"; then left the game, changed "regional language settings" (including keyboard) to "English (USA)" - and now it works (Win XP).
If that don't help, I don't know further.
Hope, it will; Olham
 
If you decide to be radical and reinstall, since there's no uninstall option, you'd need to delete 2 Massive Folders, then search for any reference to Over Flanders Fields then Delete them, then do a search to include your hidden files & folders, 2 or 3 always appear magically. Failure to nail those, and the problem WILL occur over & over & over

Then comes the Normal Install . . . GOOD LUCK
 
Mustn't be that terrible, Gimpy. When I did a reinstall, I just went through your install routine again, but without uninstalling before. I just installed it again, over the old, and it worked. I did the above then, and had no problems since. I guess, the major problems come from the differing ways to handle dates and measurements. So, in America, you call that terrible date "Nine-eleven" - your order is Month/Day/Year. In a German mission, that day would be 11. 9. 2001 - Day/Month/Year.
It may also be, that distances make problems. When the game checks altitude in "Feet" above ground (zero), but the underlying Windows doesn't, your plane might explode at start, "thinking", it just ditched.
I don't know, if that is really so, as I'm not a computer expert nor programmer. But since I play with "Regional language and keyboard settings" all in English (USA), I didn't have any problems anymore, and enjoy Campaigns.
Oh, my god, it's 00:40 h here - good night, Gimpy, must work tomorrow!

Well before the crash, there was a guy who suffered an abnormal amount of engine failures. Even though he had reinstalled numerous times, he was going crazy. The radical treatment cured the problem.

That's the reason I recommend it, whenever facing an unknown situation.

There was a good magazine commercial for FRAM oil filters ( expensive filter). It featured an obvious auto mechanic, holding a FRAM Filter, and behind him was a torn-down engine block.

The caption stated: "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later." :costumes:
 
I can't delete my pilot, I think that's the problem. However, I will try to set the keyboard language to EN (USA) as well as I did set my regional language. If it won't work, I will delete the whole thing and re-install it again. I was shot down anyway, so there's nothing to lose..

PS: One thing I find weird: AI pilots fire - and score serious hits from 500+ meters, so it seems there's no chance for me to avoid a couple of bullets.
 
Yes, GregG
The AI-long distance-sniper-syndrom is well known by all round here; it will be gone in P3, as Pol promised.
You will find a lot of answers to your questions and problems, when you take some time and read some of the Forum contributions. Especially in the Sticky Threads, you may find answers (GIMPYGUY and others).

To delete all pilots, you can go to the "Workshop" and press "delete all pilots". That should work.

Have fun; Olham
 
Before re-installing, you might try deleting your corrupted unlimitedpilots.xml file and see if OFF will generate a new one. Worth a try.

Maybe it also works when i am being shot down all the time ? ... must be a faulty install ? :kilroy:

I would uninstall all, delete the files in "my documents", also the registry entries concerning OFF, switch to English/US settings, and restart the PC. If you then install it again you will have a loong time without worries. Hmm, except for .. when Phase3 arrives :icon_lol:

Greetings,

Thank you for the help Olham! I could delete my pilots in the Workshop, and it works now!

I jumped in a Camel to get to know it better, and after 10 minutes of flight I started to understand her. So I started a RFC campaign as a Camel pilot of 54 squadron. 1 h of flight so far, some claims, nothing is credited tho - will they ever be? Once I had to crash land for an Albatross shot up my engine from 1400 m (!) . It was over no mans land, I could barely make it to the Allied side...it's very hard to survive!
 
The Sopwith Camel

Hi, GregG
Yes, it was terribly hard to survive. Some of your claims are made into victories later. But you should always do your very best to bring your wingman home with you, cause he is your witness for the kills. When you lose him, you don't get a "new" wingie so soon; and during that period, you may not get the kill credits, cause there is no witness. And anyway: it's a much nicer feeling, when you care for your men and bring them back home - to me, it is. Last flight, when I was already halfways over the "mud", I even went back, as my wingie got caught up in a fight with three Nieuports. I had no ammo left, but helped him by irritating the Nupe's, and by giving him the right orders.
For example: when someone tried to approach him from behind; I marked that plane as target and told him to attack it. That helped him to down two of them; the third "ran" away, and we got home safe and sound.
I'm working on a plane comparison and so collect data now. As soon as it's ready, I will show diagrams and detailed text like this about the Camel:

Sopwith Camel
Introduction: June 1917
Engine: Cerget 9B 9-cylinder Rotary engine, 130 hp (97 kW)
Maximum speed: 115 mph (185 km/h)
Stall speed: 48 mph (77 km/h)
Range: 300 mi ferry (485 km)
Service ceiling 21,000 ft (6,400 m)
Rate of climb: 1,085 ft/min (5.5 m/s)
2× 0.303 in (7.7 mm) Vickers machine guns
Remarks: manoeuvrability was unmatched by any contemporary type;
difficult handling, strong gyroscopic effect;
stall immediately resulted in a spin; vicious spinning characteristics;
turned rather slowly to the left which resulted in a nose up attitude due
to the torque of the rotary engine, but turned very sharply to the right
which resulted in a nose down attitude (so hard rudder left in both turns).

Have fun with your Camel, and be careful; she's also called the "Widow maker".
Good night for now; Olham
