A lot of normally jaded sim enthusiasts are lauding it as the second (or fourth) coming  of Dynamic's classic Red Baron 3D "
(and that was our early Phase 1!)

Over Flanders Fields: Between Heaven and Hell

World War I in the Air

Step back in time nearly 100 years, to a time of empires, a new age of industrialism, scientific discovery, and more importantly to us, the dawn of powered Flight.
In 1914, the 'War to End all Wars' was about to begin, new machines of destruction were being invented and perfected on a weekly basis, and the world was about to change forever.
OFF brings you to that time-
with total immersion!

At first it was a time of chivalry,
a time when skill and daring and luck might see you survive.
Soon it became a vicious fight for survival.

OFF is flight simulation dedicated to the Dawn of Air Combat
- it will bring you face-to-face with the reality of what many young pilots felt fighting for their lives close up in their wood and canvas machines high above the trenches of Eastern France.

OFF has stunning WW1 sights and sounds, and unique dynamic WW1 air campaign engine, with each campaign mission being unique, with other flights on their own real missions.  OFF will immerse you in a world long gone: the sights, sounds and memories of the skies over France and Flanders, soaring over the gentle landscapes scarred by the trenches, craters and mud of the Great War.

To sum up, what is Over Flanders Fields? A unique WWI Flight Simulation, designed to immerse you in the world of the Great War. 
OFF Between Heaven and Hell will take you from your chair at home,  and seat you in your cockpit at "The Front" in WW1 ! 

At first it was a time of chivalry,
a time when skill and daring and luck might see you survive.
Soon it became a vicious fight for survival.

HELLSHADE HAS MADE SOME OTHER GREAT HIGH RES NEW MOVIES




Hellshade says: Campaign Video #20 captured FRAPS in FULL SCREEN mode at 1680 x 1050, instead of in the usual half screen mode, and then of course edited it in full 1080 HD. That means you should watch it in full screen"
..It's fully voiced acted by yours truly instead of text all through it" 


Note videos are made by a 3rd party and not by ODB Software.

ALSO SEE The  MEDIA SECTIOn for "Remembrance" a GREAT new video
OF OFF BH&H and HITR, made by  Jammer28, and other GREAT VIDEOS. 
look for User Made section.

OFF allows you to not only test your pilot and gunnery skills in close-range Air Combat, but it will allow you to witness the actual war below you and in the air around you! All fronts move, as they did historically. There are many historically accurate Jastas, Escadrilles, and Squadrons to choose from spread the length of the Western Front, and the colors of several nations to fly under.

Whether you fly for the Entente, or the Central Powers, OFF will put you right in the heart of the action. With it's full campaign engine (similar in many ways to the famous Red Baron 3D) you'll be right in a WW1 world.  With with Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator 3 already loaded on your PC -OR- simply on DVD / CD* install our
total transformation "Between Heaven and Hell" and take to the skies...
Over Flanders Fields!

OFF takes place in a time when man was new to this new revolutionary machine called an 'Aeroplane'.  It was the dawn of air combat.

Pilots at first took to the air with a sense of wonder and excitement – to explore the world as it had never been seen. That view of the earth was soon filled with the smoke and destruction of war, and soon those early pilots were locked in deadly combat high above the clouds. The general public were in awe of fliers and their wonderful new state-of-the-art flying machines.  Aces became national heroes, many drawing large crowds wherever they went like modern film stars.  Many would fall.

OK SOUNDS GOOD, WHAT DO I NEED QUICKLY? 

ANSWER:  
1. Make sure you GET OR have MICROSOFT "COMBAT FLIGHT SIMULATOR 3".

2. GET "OVER FLANDERS FIELDS : Between Heaven and Hell" DVD (OUR main program) to transform it TO STUNNING WWi SIM!

MORE MOVIES and SCREENSHOTS


Over Flanders Fields is total WWI transformation for Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator ,
When we say "transforms"
we mean transforms it into a new simulator experience! 
Forget CFS3's past this is a new experience of an old age of WW1 combat!


Yes you need to purchase Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator 3, however this is no ordinary mod...
It
transforms
CFS3, not just from WW2 into WW1, with new deadly Aces, new high resolution scenery,
new campaign engine,
but reforms it into a new sim ...

Most parts of CFS3 have been totally replaced, renewed or improved dramtically.
Not only High Res Scenery, more Scenery variations and types, dramatically improved AI (computer pilots),
Physics, Flight models, Damage Models, Aircraft Models, Effects, Ground objects and scenery,
and finally and most importantly, with a FULLY NEW total WW1 replacement for the CFS3 campaign engine.
This is "OFF Manager" a NEW INDEPENDENT WW1 HISTORICAL CAMPAIGN ENGINE! with even more features.

The campaign manager is DYNAMIC in that every mission is new, dynamically created, different. 
Craft are flying real missions not scripted or repetitive, no "spawning" as you get close.
There is a world going on out there. 
No you can not change the course of the war - even the Red Baron himself could not do that ultimately and few could in WW1! 
This is about the struggle and the fear, the danger and the excitement in the air in WW1 high above the ground war!

Many features are a first in a flight simulator, or for CFS3 and we believe the scenery is some of the best,
if not the best, seen in currently available flight simulators. 

It transforms CFS3 into a new flight simulator experience. 
Although BH&H is designed to be a realistic experience by default, we have added
many options so it can be made easier or harder
if you wish
to tailor more to your taste!  Also in game visual aids can be on or off depending on your preferences! 
(See the FAQ which has links to a great Keyboard layout chart).


BH&H!
