I know this is off topic, but I am curious, OFF3 - is it bad or just a much of the sameness? The difference between OFF3 and OFF2 is it worth it?
I was considering getting it but it has a hefty price tag for something that is an add-on to a four year old game.

There is one thing I always hated about MS flightsim and combatsim: When you quickly move your head to view around you, the game engine couldn't keep up with the graphics, ie filling in the tiles. Great immersion killer for me. I checked their preview movies and behold:





No thank you! I'll wait for Rise of Flight instead....

Thanks Vanderstok, you just saved me a heap of money!

Dear Feathered IV,
Just a point in question here. Regarding the graphics on CFS3-OFF3 I've noticed that it is really a question of how fast your Graphics card is. I recently upgraded both processor (duo) and card (8800gtx) and it is now almost not noticable, but still there slightly. I purchased OFF phase 3 and I find it exceptionally good......especially the AI - it really is a challenge and hard work. The makers have really worked hard on it.
Admittedly I personally am not strapped for cash so I will be getting RoF, SOW BoB and even Black Shark plus another upgrade as well, but if one has to watch the pennies it is not so easy.
I'm sure that RoF will deliver all it promises but at the same time BH&H is not far behind in my opinion and the makers should be encouraged to continue.
Best regards,
Pike.

OFF 3 BH&H = Over Flander Field - Beyond Heaven and Hell a WW1 sim using the Microsoft Combat Simulater 3 engine. It was released as an free add-on in Phaze 1 and then phaze2.
Phaze 3 is the latest incarnation which costs $50 plus shipping. As it is far more expensive than the regular game, I was just asking someone who has it what it was like.
Video's and screenshots never tell the whole story "Chivas" has a copy and indicated it did not keep him interested, I was just wondering why?
