I wasn't sure if anyone else had mentioned this, but the Nov/Dec (05) issue of PC PILOT magazine has a nice advance notice for OFF's release:

There's also a survey article in the same issue titled "Vapourware Trails", that covers aborted flight sim projects from the last half dozen years or so (describes sims like Birds of Prey, Knights Over Europe, and Desert Fighters), with some interesting pics too.

Anyway, my OFF download is about done.....gotta run, and see want Santa left under my computer desk! :santahat: :santahat: :santahat:

Cool! :) Nice to see OFF in print. On the subject of news announcements I haven't seen the OFF release mentioned in the AVSIM news section. They usually announce any major freeware release such as OFF even if it's not FS.

Maybe someone from the OFF team could give them a hoy? I think it would encourage many people who have long forgotten CFS3, to re-install on their 'puters.

Good idea Robby. I'll post there shortly but I think at the moment we'll avoid posting "come and get it" just yet as the servers are already at max capacity ;) :isadizzy:
