Some problems

First, let me apologize for revisting what's undoubtedly already been addressed, but I'm new to the forum and don't have the patience to sift through years of posts.

Recently restarted OFF P1 (with a line on P2) after upgrading my computer, but I'm having a problem with CTD's and being snatched out of the middle of a flight that's really got me :banghead:. It'll happen in the middle of a campaign mission, quick combat or sometimes even when I've just selected the mission (Go to hangar stage). Sometimes I can get it going again by exiting OFF and then going back into it and sometimes I have to restart my computer.

Another problem I've had is that I'll fly a mission without taking any hits, have a nice smooth touchdown and then be told I've died from my injuries. WHAT INJURIES :confused:?

And finally, how do I end a mission without using the "Goals Completed" box? I like to really finish a flight, i.e. land safely preferably at my home airfield. But I've clicked close on that box and rtb'd only to sit in my cockpit until I do the "Officers Mess" bit and then I find out I didn't get credit for the flight. What's up with that?
 
Phase 1 is no longer available period, and Phase 2 has not been avialable on line for many, many moons already. I do think the Developers would like to know, EXACTLY how you found it :ernae:

Plus thanks to a Massive Crash in September 08, we lost all previous data

Sooo the sifting, will be simplified
 
Might help with phase 1 to clear all pilots in Workshop and then just enlist one pilot at a time.
Also in workshop you will find towards the right options to have your pilot never die, or dir on roll of dice or dead is dead.
If you select the top one , ie easy, then you'll never die. Not realistic but saves keep making pilots.
What happened to you ,I expect, was that you were on the roll of dice selection and it was just your luck to select death after a good landing -lol

HTH
 
Finding it was simple...I just looked on my old hard drive. I had downloaded it way back when it was first released. Unfortunately my computer couldn't handle the graphics and I was flying in a slideshow any time I set them anywhere above the lowest level. So I uninstalled it and shelved it within a month and never bothered with phase 2. When I upgraded my computer recently (if you can call new motherboard, new cpu new hd and new RAM an upgrade;)) I wanted to give it another chance. The hard part was finding my copy of cfs3. I've got a line on phase 2 from a post I made on the "OFF Phase2 DVD request" thread and I'll most likely buy Phase 3 when it becomes available or shortly thereafter.

In the meantime, if no one remembers what to do about the problems I'll just deal with them until either P2 or P3 clear them up.
 
You can request Phase 2 on DVD Free
STICKY north of here

Problem on the Phase 1, there were alot of patches ( which are nolonger available ) that offered a lot of solutions, to the existing woes

The Developers have forgotten Phase 1, as you should. But it's yours . . do as you wish :banghead:
 
No idea on your CTD problem. Obviously move up to Phase 2/3 as soon as possible.

If the plane doesn't crash/explode at the end of the mission you shouldn't be dying. Something screwy there. To avoid erroneous death just set workshop to 'pilot never dies' as suggested above. It IS realistic if you kill off your pilot manually after any honestly fatal crash.

One solution to getting that stupid 'success banner' is to fly the game realistically and stop using the navigation cheats (turn off the TAC and don't use warp). This forces you to fly by eye or use paper maps as the real pilots did. You will never see that stupid banner again, because you will never hit all the waypoints exactly. More challenging and immersive too.
 
Hi von Baur
Quit right Phase 1 was out in 2005, quit hard for us to support that now many moons on.

Sounds like something is getting hot (cpu? video card?) check the cooling and fans inside your PC. Make sure you have all the patches released for P1 (I can't even remember what there was lol).

Lower your sliders, on terrain and scenery a notch if possible.

Or... get p2

or hang on for P3.
