After reading a few posts and seeing Michael's shots, I am interested in it.
Where is it and how do I get it?

Thanks,

OFF is a separate CFS3 install in the same vein as Goldenwings/Silverwings is a separate FS2004 install.

It tops and tails the basic CFS3 flight/damage engine with WWI planes/weapons/scenery. It's also got some lovely birdsong and barking dogs if you sit with the engine off.

OFF

I played it a few times, but I found the options and setup pages More cumbersome and counter intuitive than CFS3 (almost as bad as CFS2 Wink

). I also was not a good pilot Grin

Still, all good fun

The "official" discussion forum for "OFF" is over at Sim-Outhouse, where you can find heaps of information and help if you need it ... often from the development team members themselves.

"OFF" Forum: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/forumdisplay.php?f=8

There are also a number of (semi) regular on-line missions being flown, some at times friendly for UK/USA participants, and some also at Aussie-firendly times.

Heaps of fun ... and the scenery is WAY better than you'll find in CFS3 Wink

I've given it a try and it's a very professional and awesome piece of work.
However, to play it, you have to keep putting the CFS3 disk in the drive, and watching it toast itself, which is a real pain.
For obvious reasons, I don't have to put the CFS3 disk in the drive when I play CFS3

Yes I know, but that's just puts me into a SimHQ loop. So I tend to then go and do something else more rewarding 8)

well, Mathias, so much for wanting to avoid talk about no-cds and trouble for this site.
Now that I know, I should have saved you the trouble of posting Grin

Well thanks anyway.

If anyone from a big corporation with more money than they deserve, due to crushing competitors in unfair ways, and twisting legal arguments, should read this thread; then perhaps they'd like to consider this:

I usually do not buy a Flight Sim until it's been out a while. That way I can check if there's a way of avoiding keeping the disk in the tray whilst I'm playing. Until I can confirm the existence of an avoidance ploy, I do not buy.

That's not exactly going to dent their obscene profits. But then hardly anything will.

Does anyone know if it's okay to delete the duplicate CFS3 install once OFF is installed ?

My main CFS3 is on drive E. So I did as per instructions and copied CFS3 to C:\Program files\Microsoft. Then I installed OFF and updated it.
Just as a test, I re-named the cloned CFS3 folder to something rather rude, and OFF seemed to work quite well without referencing that folder any more.

Once OFF is properly installd and running you can savely delete your vanilla CFS3.
Just keep in mind you'll need it again around x-mast 2006 to install Mediterranean Airwar. Wink
