PASully: For some reason if you use pedals they are reversed in cfs3/OFF heres the fixYou need to change the following entries in your XCA file located in C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Microsoft\Combat Flight Simulator 3.0 The folder may be hidden so check un hide files and folders
All you do is make the origninal entry into a negative number and the pedals will work properly.
How to get trackir 1 and 2 to work in cfs3/OFF
You can get trackir 1&2 to work using tir_attack 1.6 (1.7 doesn't work so well) get it here
http://www.geocities.com/tir_temp/tir_attack_1_6.zip
Get it working in game by doing this:
Tir_Attack works exceedingly well: Start Trackir proggie and minimise, start CFS3 and Ctrl - Esc out or alt-tab out and then start TIR_Attack - jump back into CFS3 and voila...
You can start Trackir, then Tir_Attack then CFS3 but sometimes Tir_Attack has poke errors.

I got a warning "WW1Autumn Light folder missing, the game will now close. You need to reinstall Over Flanders Fields" and was kicked back to desktop. Solution: find the WW1 scenery folder whereever it´s placed go inside copy and paste to the \assets folder in OFF root. You can get a few "folders missing" calls befor it all will work but be persistent in the copy and paste job and you´ll soon be overhead!! And if the NoCD discussion is censored I´ll be glad to help via @-mail, drop me a line!

I believe .dll's have to be "installed" but it's early and only had one cup of coffee! I can't recall the exact proceedure but: "If it boots completely, you can use System File Checker (sfc.exe) to repopulate any missing or damaged 'Windows' dll's. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/222471/EN-US/" Perhaps do a search.

I am grateful for all the wonderful free Red Baron enhancements enjoyed over the years and am reluctant to complain about the difficulty I am experiencing finding out how to get started with OFF, especially as I am aware that many of the same talented people I already owe thanks to are the same people creating OFF.
That said, I spent several hours scanning the OFF website and Sim Outhouse OFF forum without finding a thread describing recommended system requirements for OFF or a basic tutorial for OFF newbies. I'm lucky if I can find time to fly in tournment games with my RB squad and can't pore over 256 pages of topics at a forum to learn about the next game I'll probably fall in love with.
So far I've learned I should buy the $25 cd version of CFS3 at Amazon rather than the $10 dvd version for XP only. That discovery took a couple hours. Is there somewhere I can "read up" on optimal system/hardware requirements and the steps needed to install and play this great new game?
I would have posted at Sim-Outhouse but my Email address leheureux <at> hotmail.com was rejected. I just got a message that allowed me to register manually, but am not able to post there yet. S! Hex
