Hi guys, there is a new movie and screenshots posted on our website of OFF2
and a special "reveal" in there

Hope you enjoy.

BTW if any of you are trying to get to our CA forums they appear to be down at the moment...

Oh quick edit.. Link to our site is below in my signature as usual, or in case you have those disabled on here

See the news section on the main page.

There seems to be a glitch for me viewing the 1080HD version - it doesn't seem to change unless I first select 720HD then selct 100 after that. Just a heads up..

WOW!! AWESOME!
Can't wait to play it and it's great to see that probably the "biggest drawback" of OFF which is damage models will be address in this latest variant! The combats shown on the video where EPIC!

There is only one thing that I'm not sure I like it which is the new name: Currently there's lots of "Wings over/of..." and these sort of names are becoming a bit repetitive. Personally I prefer the "OFF2" name but in the end this is only my personal preference...

I do have one question: Is multiplayer being improved? Please tell me yes, there are so FEW IMMERSIVE sims that can be played in Co-op multiplayer (for me currently the only immersive co-op playable combat flight sim is Falcon 4) and it would be EPIC to play this jewel which will be OFF2/WOFF in multiplayer (specially in co-op but not only).

Very nice! I am looking forward to this release.

The name is okay with me. I'm just thankful they didn't use "Knights" or "Canvas" or "Chivalrous" anywhere in the title!

Thanks guys, we like it a lot and it made the most sense the name basically combined with our main name. Also it had to be short and combined with our Over Flanders Fields it encompasses WW1 over the mud and the huge struggle to survive and develop these new "wings".


MP we won't be doing much more for this time ricnunes, we are such tiny numbers in a dev team that it's impossible to do everything all at once but who knows for later. Heck we have taken long enough doing this !

Ok, thanks for the reply.

Petty about the MP but I hope that at least it still works on it's current form.

Looks superb, can't wait to give her a whirl

Looks and sounds fantastic!

Wow! Looks mighty impressive!

So many things to talk about from that video.

Am I mistaken or does it appear that external views have been improved? That has always been one pet peeve of mine in OFF (probably really CFS3) actually. While you can rotate an external view of your own plane, your external views of other objects were always limited in that the object you wanted to view was in the foreground with your plane in the background. You could not rotate or even tilt the camera around the object of view (At least I believe it so, I never figured out a way to do it if you can!). Perhaps this was all very precise editing for the video and its unchanged, but it sure looked like there might be a true *floating* external view now.

I LOVE how the planes no longer immediately disappear when they impact into the ground. That is a great addition.

I detected several improved sound effects, not least of all a great new staccato mg sound at around the 5:08 mark. I did all the sounds effects and foley work for 4 different Combat Mission games (and many other games as well). Trust me, I know what a pain in the <bleep> getting the weapon sounds just right can be!

Speaking of sounds, my kudos to Matt on his impressive new music. That's another thing that is usually overlooked in games and once more Mr. Milne really delivers. Very Hans Zimmerman in tone and texture, but it stands on it's own merits. Haunting and not easily forgotten. A perfect set piece of music!

Anyway, brilliant job gentlemen. I can't wait for the day this mighty work of art is unleashed on us unworthy lot!

Take care all!

The new damage models and wreckages are a great addition to the sim!

There are also new screenshots? Damn, missed that - must have a look.

As for the name - you could have let "Over Flanders Fields" remain
as a standalone brand name - it is already a famous brand.
SONY wouldn't call themselves HIFI-SONY suddenly?
"Over Flanders Fields II" or such would have been enough IMHO.

But whatever you do to the name - I'll buy it anyway.
(Rushes OFF to see the new screenshots...)

One word... Superb.
About the name, I too prefer just Over Flanders Fields. But that's a detail.
