Well, No. 2 reads "Observer View", so I guess the WOFF pilot can switch to that mode
briefly without taking over the whole observer position?
And maybe the AI observer would always look in the direction of the closest E/A -
so this would give the pilot, using that view, a good idea where any attacking or
only threatening E/A are?
Or maybe the flyer can use TrackIR also in "Observer View"?

A better name would be "Observing" mode.. (in other words nothing to do with a 2 seater observer).

As I said: I'm bad at guessing...
Mmuahahahaaa!!!

That's not a NEW mode! Everyone on the Forums has been in "Observer mode" for the last 4 years except for the Dev team. Get us into pilot mode!

Fabulous shots sir. As Olham pointed out, I really do like the clouds low out on the horizon. The scenery is of course a breathtaking leap above what OFF already had and the clouds and sky appear to have been handled with equal care. I can't wait to tangle with the AI and see the new flight models live. The preview movies make them look very graceful and give the strong perception of actual flight.

As always, thank you for the screenies.

love dot mode.............EXCELLENT ADD......especially for those of us w/ glasses!!

Lol Hellshade quite right, well it's certainly a heck of a lot nearer now than it was 3-4 years ago!

Looks good! I really like the improved terrain graphics.

I hope the waiting period is almost over now...

Is the new view mode something like "Show Entire Furball"?

Something like that Hauksbee or more like go where you like and get the popcorn out to watch.

Oh this is absolutely true, and I am increasingly thinking that I may have to enjoy WOFF vicariously for a while, via you guys' forum posts. I fear our old rig is not going to be able to do it justice.

Music to my ears!..it will make video creation so much better

As a hobby skinner Pol...can you advise as to whether the Skins will be in the same format as before?

"I'm siiiiiiiiinging in the rain! ..."

WOW AWESOME!! The problem of not being able to spot aircraft at distances more than 1 (one) Km away is something that definitely puzzles me and I hate much in newer sims such as DCS! While this problem isn't so bad in OFF (compared to DCS for example) the fact is that you (almost any human being/pilot) could definitely spot aircraft at longer distances than currently is possible in OFF (and this not to mention other sims) so that "label" mode is definitely VERY, VERY welcomed!
Thanks for this feature! And this from someone that doesn't need glasses in real life.

Huh. And here I thought "dot mode" was just a visual representation of how far in the distance the competition will be behind WOFF.

All kidding aside (sorta) I think the possibilities of making videos with the Observer Mode sound pretty fabulous. Thank you very much for including this new feature. I look forward to the release of the Official WOFF Features List. I hope it won't be too long now.

UK_W yes same format, although some models are new so template shapes will vary, and many craft have new areas or changes on skins to to improvements. Many 1000s of skins are all revised or even redone.

A dauntting and humbling experience no doubt!! But I'm sure we will all appreciate the results! Tnx to Devs for thoroughness!!

Thanks Pol...looking forward to seeing them

Erm,....you guys are sure you work with the old CFS3 engine? No offense,...just asking. Impressive!!! And by the way.... any news on the sys specs?

Indeed although you won't believe it

System specs we haven't released yet.
