Over Flanders Fields is an add-on for
Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator 3

its goal to recreate air combat for three main periods of the Great War (See Information).

It adds immersion and life to the simulator by throwing the player into the great war
as an early aviator and surrounding him/her with the sounds,
effects and activity that take the player so much closer to the real thing -
a dynamic living breathing environment with stunning vistas and scenery
- brought more to life by a completely new interface.

Superb Key Features
of Over Flanders Fields PHASE 2
"The Great Air War"

...many of which have never been seen before in CFS3 or WW1 simulations.

1) Recreation of major battle still in progress

2) Persistent frontline damage to terrain and buildings/towns as the lines move.

3) A more immersive user interface with more features that make you feel even more involved.

4) More Diverse and Dynamic campaign engine with many more Squadrons including the Americans In French Squadrons all as historically accurate as possible. Campaign missions evolve and become more complex from early simple recon missions in 1914/15 to coordinated troop and gun emplacement strafing runs by the Germans 1918. The campaign engine is open database "driven" and hence is a very flexible architecture.

5) Revised Lighting and Clouds and Weather.

6) Real world haze effects

7) Micro squadron data management - squadron members tallies are collated, deaths and injuries to squad members are refreshed with new recruits.

8) Improved logging of "claims" to the home office.

9) Daily debriefs and other "squadron duties".

10) Airfields will change hands as the frontlines move.

11) Greatly expanded Aircraft complement to cover and represent the major participants in the air wars of WW1

12) Fully revised airfields with better texture details and improved blending methods for better integration into the environment.

13) Revised an greatly improved blending and variation of terrain textures

14) Fully revised and improved scenery object textures

WARPZAP
(Lower WARP speed Enabler)

Kindly made by RexHannover (member of SimOuthouse.com forums) - thanks Rex!

Enables slow WW1 planes to attain "warp" quickly
Warp at 62MPH rather than 123MPH!

Warp is a function in CFS3 to skip to the next waypoint or action quickly.
Normally in CFS3 it's 123MPH before you can use it, however with WW1 planes this is a tough speed to make without climbing then diving carefully which can take a few minutes).

This program permanently patches SHELL.EXE please make a backup of this file before you run this patch!
It can be run at any time on any version of OFF, but once patched you will not need to patch again unless you re-install.

This is free, and has had limited testing -so be careful as we can accept no responsibility if something bad happens- if you don't like that idea then do not use it !

DOWNLOAD WARP ENABLER

Instructions: download and unzip to your "CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields" folder.

Double click on the WarpZap.exe program. It will ask you to browse for the Shell.exe. Find it in your CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields folder, highlight it and then click Open.

That;s it, if there is a problem you will be warned, otherwise the program will successfully patch and exit.

Then in OFF in flight, as you get to 62mph hit X to warp to test.
