BETWEEN HEAVEN and HELL: PREVIEW MOVIE 10

Enough with the previews Pol! I can't stand it anymore!!! No. I won't watch this one... I've endured enough teasing and torture... no, not again!

*clicks link...begins downloading*

Son of a.... :kilroy:
 
nice.....very nice:ernae:
You managed to last a lot longer than I thought you would.....hats off to you Pol':d
 
Brilliance (but invidious) movie! Many thanks Polovski!:applause: I want Jasta 18-Fokkers too!:kilroy:
 
OFF is simply them most impressive piece of flight simming I've seen. Amazing.

The FOV movement: Is that a head device (like TrackIR) or are you using inputs on your joystick?

BTW, Povloski: I remember you from a few years ago. You helped me get up and going with the little "Wings of War" game/wannabe sim. Had some fun with WoW... but like most, I tired of it rather quickly.

I'm pretty sure Pol is using TrackIR. I know the true addicts...erm... enthusiasts tend to fly with TrackIR around here. :d
 
Thanks Pol,

Wow! wish it were longer, what happened to you after that?

At the end of the day it's the AI and flight model that make a good flight sim. OFF3 seems to have both. As one of the beta testers said 'it should be be called OFF7. ' My congrats to the developers for holding OFF. OFF! Ha get it? Sorry....

I'd love to hear from the developers (after release of course) a bit of "how the hell do you make CFS3 AI to a good level in a WW1 game?"

Release date guess: within 3 weeks. :d
 
The last Convert (that I know of ) Catch 22, finaly broke down and bought a Trackir 4. He's actually kicking himself, that he waited this Long :costumes:
 
Nice preview video Polovski.

I'm glad the crew is taking the time to make sure that they are satisfied with the release.

With ROF and OFF coming out, it will make for a fun Christmas.

S!
 
fantastic video again Pol - and I love the red and white skin (looking forward to trying that one out myself):ernae:
 
Hello,
great action video - it may well be to survive for some time against so much Fokker D.VIIs, for their number is hindering themselves in getting a clean shot at you, but apart from some apparent good flying you have to be lucky indeed ...
I guess i would have flown on straight in my SE5, and get some distance between me and them, relying on the speed of the SE to get away straight and level at full speed - after all they had to turn to come at you, thus bleeding away speed - but i don't know whether the distance had been large enough then, after their initial turning, to not be able to shoot at you.
As well the upper wing of the SE looks as thin as it was, and not "blocky" at all - great!
The above is until i realized what is really going on here..

Really strange, i had to look CLOSE:

At first i thought "nothing new", a lot of the enemies developed trails of smoke without you shooting at them - were they being hit by Archie ? Did they ram themselves mid-air ? Then i thought lots of enemies crash into the ground without real reason ? And why do they not maintain altitude ?
E.g. at 1.50 one of the planes trails smoke, and looking behind you see it roll and crash - huh ? Then i realized it is a SE5 that crashes ! I am in a furball and did not even notice what was going on. God, this must have been hell indeed.
Only then i realized you were not flying alone, but it was almost impossible to see or distinguish enemies and friendlies in a blink of an eye. I had to stop the video, look at the markings and see what is really going on.

Considering the AI - it looks better than in P2, it certainly did in the videos of P3 before, but :applause:

Guess i will have to be really lucky to even survive some time under those circumstances ... what a sim !! Pol, this is beginning to frighten me ... :kilroy:

Greetings,
Catfish
 
Saw the vid last night....and top of my prayer list in church this morning was....dear God let OFF by out soon!...Hope the congregation don't think I've lost the plot at last!!
 
You guys should stop making those teasers and release P3 :isadizzy:. And you are flying my favorite plane in the vid as well..man I am THAT close coming to London and get your whole rig with OFF inside it :running:.

Good job guys. It is gonna be the best computer game ever to be released. Pacman and Tetris are going to eat some serious dust :costumes:.

:applause::applause:

Click to expand...

Cat,

The best way for me to discribe the intensity of the action is to simply say that when I am taking screenshots for my combat reports, the action happens so fast, I can't capture it. I get confused, loose sense of SA (Situational Awareness), which was key in winning dogfights then and now.

It's simply the most immense sim I have ever played. OFF is the Brother's In Arms of WWI combat sims. If you ever played any of the Brother's In Arms games, they're not only realistic (Call of Duty is more arcadish to me), they're historic and very intense. Same for OFF.

17 hours - rather hell...

Should have become a diver - I didn't know before, that I could hold my breath for as long as this video... Good grief, Pol - these red devils seem to come right out of hell ! I used to think, 17 hours were a damn short time to last. After seeing this, I wonder, how many repeats I'll need to survive that long... Breathtaking. Frightening. No comparison.
 
Seriously now...with nobody listening...is there any chance....?

Seriously though, with November the eleventh behind us and Christmas in front of us, is there anyone "in the know" who would be prepared to say that the launch is this side of December the 25th.
(Or have you been sworn to secrecy on pain of death or being let loose with an Sopwith Pup with no ammo and fifty Fokkers coming out of the sun at you and you're wounded and one wing is hanging on by a wisp?)
 
Hi All , Now talking of 'Brothers in Arms' . That seems like an appropriate tune payed by none other than Mark Knopfler, one of the best guitar players on the planet. It's a very moving tune and the words are very apt also. Mind you the music on the OFF 3 movies is very good also.
 
Hi All, I note with interest and a sense of heightened anticipation the news that OFF Phase three has reached the Gold stage. Can anyone in the know tell what reaching this actually means? I've heard of the expression before. How close are we now?
