Up and running since Wednesday using old CFS3 2Cd version. Installed and running without a hitch. My FrankenForce even works without any adjustments to the control settings.
First pilot died within 1 minute. I was so blown away looking at my pilot's arms and legs moving in the cockpit, I ran into a tree.

After I got past my config settings glitch by merely resetting my CFS3 in the workshop, I am up and runnng smoothly. I havent messed around with the graphics sliders much---they were all set at 2...I bumped it up to 3 with no problems, and everything looks really nice....now all's I gotta do is ----Learn To Fly!
Great job folks! Worth the wait...and the price.

Have been up and running since January 20. Superb job, really more than just an upgrade, its essentially a new sim. Wonderful feel to all the flight models I have tried and the maelstrom of the dogfight and the enemy AI is something to behold. This is IT. Thanks guys.

Installed the 20th, reinstalled, the 21st and 22nd. Third time's the charm. Flew and died plenty on the 22nd, looking forward to ruining more planes today. Thanks OBD.

up and running - OH YESS!!!!
decided to do a full "virgin install" of CFS3 patched up to 3.1a before i installed OFF P3 so i removed the old OFF P2 & CFS3 from my drives.
The install went as sweet as a nut! Thanks guys
:woot::amen::woot::amen::woot::amen:
I still have to try it with my trackIR - too busy flying the sim!!

UP and running :woot:Hope I did'nt miss anything
I have a p3 qc question. In p2 when you selected qc mode it took to an airfield with a pilot warnding around a plane with a menu giving an option to select a plane, country, weather and airfield. I don’t see this in p3. Am I doing something wrong or did I miss something?

glad to hear it Old Tiger 
Nope P3 takes you directly to mission now, and immediately back.
You can turn these features off in workshops (far left) to be more like the old P2, but OFF is designed to run better with them on.
Also the olde CFS3 QC is there from workshop- again only there for compatibility sakes.

OFF3 installed and patched over working/recent OFF2 on XP. Very nice piece of work guys, but my install is buggy so far...
My very first mission I tried a simple training flight, but got this error:
Patch DLL Error: Game terminated prematurely
Patch Memory Sync:one:TerminatedProcess()failed(5)
I rebooted, and went straight to a campaign mission. HAD A BLAST, and downed a Halberstadt while flying an N17b, BUT was never given an opportunity to make a claim!!! That part of the OFF3 manager failed to appear. Man was I pissed... :karate:
Different pilot, second mission, again a campaign, and the game hung up after I paused it mid-mission. Had to do the 3-finger salute to exit a non-responsive OFF3 Manager.
Now I've flown a few more campaign missions, and have been able to make my claims after landing. OFF3 seems to have settled down (????) However, I'm not seeing those end-of-mission landing animations anymore, you know, pilot walks away smiling, or kissing the ground, or....
A FEW CRITICAL QUESTIONS:
1) I can't see where to activate reflections anymore, say for N17 rear mirror (though wasn't too helpful in OFF2 anyways). The original OFF2 location/ability to toggle reflections is gone... Now it isn't in the config or workshop.
2) it looks like I have Z-buffer issues for the textures of bridges at a distance --they are flashing, as well as ONLY the types of trees placed around airfields, all other trees OK. I have an older, but stout GPU (see below), this shouldn't be happening at the marginal game settings I am running it at: all 3, clouds 1
3) I can't alter the anti-aliasing settings in the OFF3/CFS3 Config. file. I've tried to set it to 2, or 3, or 4, and hit OK each time, and it immediately goes to "none". It ain't sticking AT ALL
4) I'm flying formation "by rank", and love the concept, but the flight lead so far has always ended up solo and several thousand feet above the rest of the flight. Warping even for only a mile resolves this into a tight formation, but is not the ideal solution.
5) how can you tell who is who in your flight? I want to try to fly with my wingmate, but I have no way of telling which a/c is his. Sometimes the labels tell you, but it seems only on occasion or certain circumstance. Can the OFF3 manager not be made to tell you the a/c number of each pilot in your flight ahead of time so one could simply jot this down?
Sorry for the critique and questions, but this is my reality with the game so far.
I am having fun experiencing the AI, have been shot down a few times, and have paid back equally so far (4 claims!), but the bugs are very frustrating and interfere with the fun.
I hope this is the proper thread to voice issues/problems, and have faith that the team will address these things in time. Thank you for your hard work.

These animations have been removed from Phase3 per a recent post by Polovski, so not an indicator of a problem.
