Just so you know, ROF and KOS are the same thing. Gennadich just renamed the project.

Anywho, here's a few videos of ROF:








I'm personally much more happy about ROF, Sandman. OFF looks nice, but it's a mod, and this is the first time they've decided to charge for it (why? who can say; previous versions were free, and now they do this). Putting the $50 price aside, ROF uses a state of the art engine to simulate air particles (for everything from smoke to fire; this also affects the handling of your plane), water (which basically causes rivers to flow with an actual current), and a damage model which dynamically simulates bullet holes and structural damage.

Just read about some of the features ROF has on their site. You can visit their blog here:

Happy flying!

You cant. Subsim doesnt have attachments, so you need to host the pic to a imagehosting site first.

OFF P3 is payware because basically even though it is a mod,what you get is a standalone sim.There is VERY LITTLE in P3 that you can equate to CFS3,it looks,feels and flies nothing like CFS3.
If you didnt know it uses the CFS3 engine,you would never know.

Patch v1.2 for OFF BHaH has taken it to a whole new level.

Thats why.

Well, it sounds good to me...

Hello,
my OFF P3 dvd arrived a few days ago, and i am still learning - flight models are different from phase 2, and i have been shot down 5 times lol. With switching this radar help screen, target cone and whatever to off, surviving is hard work, must be the hardest sim i ever virtually "flew". First time experience that i would have probably not become an "ace" . Oh the shock.

There is already a review here:

And the OFF forum has moved from Simouthouse to Combatsim.com:

Maybe because Dowly indeed introduced himself ?? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Thanks and greetings,

Hi, all
Found OFF - Phase 2 in October 2008 through websearching for a WW1 sim.
There weren't any newer ones, and I still dreamt of something like "Dawn Patrol" or "Flying Corps".
And with OFF, I had found that. And it was even for free; a guy from Canada sent me a copy. They asked for donation, but most people didn't make any (me included, to be honest), and when it came to Phase 3, they decided to make it an official buy-ware. After years of working on what has now become THE NO.1 WW1 combat sim, there's nothing wrong with that.

Meanwhile, "Over Flanders Fields - Between Heaven and Hell" has been patched up to the most immersive sim I could have dreamt of. The feel is just incredible, climbing into my Albatros cockpit, taking off, and flying over those beautifully made terrains, through great weather simulation with sometimes dramatic thunder clouds towering - until I encounter enemy planes. Then comes one of the greatest achievements: the AI pilots. They behave like real human multiplayer opponents. Fighting is such a challange here, that I find it hard to survive. I must really do something for it; must learn to know the good and bad sides of my and the opponents plane, must remember the rules, change tactics etc.
Although I get my nose punched regularly, I come back to it every day. I want to become a good WW1 pilot. I want to last longer than the average 17 hours. I'd like to collect a tall kill tally. All that is (at full realism settings) damn hard, and a real challenge for a combat flight simmer.
I don't need anything else (except a new graphic card)...
Cheers. Olham
