My Tribute

Rather than try to express in words just how utterly astonished I am by how rapidly and completely this sim has evolved, I'll resort to illustrating how I feel about it by having the onlooker see it as I see it....through my own eyes.

It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Might I be so bold as to suggest a moving picture is worth a million or more.

The terrain and objects.....the UI......the effects.....the flight models...the skinning work...the historical accuracy, and last but certainly not least, the not-so-artificial intelligence of both enemy and friendly pilots...have turned this into an absolute must have for any serious virtual combat pilot.

Special thanks to Polovski for the extra firepower on the Tripe. I'll forgive you for the sluggish handling.......lol.

Absolutely outstanding accomplishmnet here gents!!!:ernae:

well parky my man/ that was bloody awsome.

but to be honest with you i have never had so many highs and low's as i have had as of late trying to get this sim to run smoothly.
i have tweaked untill i can tweak no more and can not for the life of me figure out how you get what you have out of your machine.
my hat is O.F.F. to you.
now, please do us all a favour and post your settings to give us a baseline from which to run.
we can go up or down from there.
Believe you me there isnt anyone that wants to see this work any more than i.
we need your help man.
we would all appreciate it , and oh yea,not to shabby on the shooting,who was flying the plane:costumes:
PD
 
Parky, Such patience in pulling the trigger and that flying, your anticipation is very good. Thanks for making the vid and sharing. Says more than words could.

I gotta echo these thoughts...now granted I'm running a pentium D but still have 2 sli'd 9600gt's these cards are pretty good(still) and I'm still getting a slide show...I'm probably gonna upgrade my cpu to a core 2 duo but frankly I'm not all that sure it's gonna make that much of a difference..alll this on a xfx 780i mobo..all's I can say is:help:
 
Parky, great clip and some nice flying.

What kind of frame rates do you figure?
If I remember your running a dual core 6850 @3.6 and a nvidia 280, winxp32,is that correct.
It looked very smooth, and with fraps recording as well,

Cheers

Parky great vid..wow...what are you using for capture? Also some great flying being displayed...kudos!
 
Parky,

What I wanna know is how you get em to make those nice sweeping turns for you to track? Any time I start to pull lead on one they snap that plane around faster then you can blink. The one's I'm fighting are scissors masters. Great film keep em coming.

It has been said time and again that flight sims in general and certainly OFF need, more than any other single component, as fast a PROCESSOR as you can muster.
If your processor is weak, it is pointless to link it with fast graphics cards, because the processor cannot use what the card is capable of giving it!
Therefore the card quality is wasted.

It has also been said that this sim is best set at high resolutions. Normally in flight sims the lower the resolution, the more FPS, but in CFS3 and OFF it is OPPOSITE.
Set the resolution as high as your card and monitor can give and see what happens. But leave off the AA.
Turn of AV and unnecessary processes. Google in Blackviper and read his site.
Many FPS to be gained here.

That might help- but the processor is the thing.
 
Parky,

When I first tried FRAPSing in P2 you have helped me make smooth recordings by setting AA and AF at the nvidia control panel. I changed nothing in P3 but when I try to record the FPS drop from 30 to 8. Any more tweaking to suggest?

Excellent movie btw. Great work!
 
Great movie Parky! Shows off the dogfights and effects dogfights well. :applause: and for a change some Jasta bashing ;)
 
Hmmff... Krumpet propaganda!! Fritzie could do better zan zat!

Really nice vid Parky. Hey, you are an Ace pilot I think! The way you recovered from that stall just above the ground was most impressive. Respect!

Gosh those Fokker DrIs took an awful pounding, what? How often have you seen flamers BTW? You were pouring lead into the pilot/engine area...
 
Wow,

I finally had a break and managed to grab this video....

Parky what can I say other than thanks very much and I am so pleased that you are having so much fun with P3.....

Some awesome gunnery skills there - glad you are on our side....:wiggle:

Sincere thanks!!

Best

"The Parkinator". Now thats playing the game the way its meant be played. Superb! Hey Parky, what did you think of the Wolseley Viper...some animal huh. Thats one of the things about Phase 3 that blew me away...the marked diference in the Hispano and the Viper. Not just the performance but the engine sound. First time I flew the Viper, the engine sound raised the hackles on the back of me neck. I guess my favorite allied craft is still the Camel (though I don't think it is as quirky as Phase 2 version), but the SE5 is now visually and operationally one of the jewels of the game. Man, us WWI airplane junkies are lucky to have Winder and crew crafting away. Great video (and advertisement).
 
Very nice video. It shows really the difficulty to shot the enemy a/c.
You are ace flyier and to shoot! :applause:
 
Hey, Parky
You made my heart bleed twice. Firstly, because you showed extremely well done, how beautiful "Between Heaven and Hell" is; how much fun it must be, to fly around in it.
And secondly, because you shot all my so beloved Albatros to pieces. Aren't they beautiful? I saw the sunlight reflecting on their wings, saw them curving through the air... Baron von Mahlo is sitting next to me, he's in quite some rage, I can't stop him, he's...

You crumpet, you!!! Destroyink all der lovely Albatros! Vait, until my "BHaH" arrives, ant i vill show you, zat der Munition is enough for five of der crumpet menace S.E. 5's. At least!!! Ant zen I vill still have some left for shootink up der Canteen, der cigarette store, ant der beer barrelz!!!
Zat vill give you a terrible time, I promise you!!!

Sorry for this, Parky, he's quite okay, when he's had a few, you know?
But when he must witness an Albatros getting shot, the sheer hell in him comes out (perhaps, you could concentrate on Dr.1 and D VII next time - he doesn't love them that much).

Cheers. Olham
