Greetings OFF community!
I think that the recent SOH system crash is my fault. I was just preparing to post this message when the system must have realized that I was coming back after a long absence and it probably couldn’t handle the thought of it….sorry! :redface:
It’s been well over a year since I’ve been on a SOH forum! I used to haunt the CFS2 forum on a regular basis and I see a few familiar names here on OFF from my CFS2 days. I stopped my flight sim activities for a while partly due to numerous lifestyle changes and issues and I confess that my interest in flight simming had waned a bit for various other reasons.
Recently I happened to stumble on the OFF web page with the feature movies for P3, and oh boy, I was badly smitten with the old ‘lust’ I once had many years ago for the aircraft of the Great War! I think I have watched these fabulous videos a dozen times each, and I have become more and more enamored with the idea of flying in the skies over Europe 1915 – 1918. I’ve already looked into purchasing CFS3, the P3 DVD (I wonder how to get on that list after the system recovery?), and TrackIR 4. Fortunately my joystick and pedals are still close at hand, so I can easily be up and running. I have changed my old avatar to one suited to the theme of the Great ‘Air’ War.
I have to say that the opportunity of getting the whole package for OFF P3 on a DVD at reasonable cost is very appealing to me. I don’t mind minor tweaks and occasional major adjustments or dramatic upgrades, but I did find in CFS2 that the ongoing exercise of experimenting, adding, and adjusting was often very time-consuming and I have too many other life distractions to contend with to be able to maintain such a demanding ‘pastime’. I’m very happy to be able to purchase and download a package that looks to be comprehensive and well implemented…at least, it appears to be!
So, I’m looking forward to hearing some opinions and sharing some thoughts on the forums here at OFF at least once in a while. It feels great to be back with the flight sim community!
Now you can say, as I often used to say… “Oh good, another victim!” :icon_lol:
Cheers,
