Pretty sure it's already on here somewhere, but a dedicated gunsight key-bind would be fantastic.

I'll second the less obtrusive labels as well!

One thing I would like to see is the ability to add additional notes to my logbook as a separate screen to indicate mission observations. Things such as ( damaged an ememy craft, noticed other activities such as other squadrons in the area, report heavy archie, report on my squad mates activities or witnessing their claims. among other memorable observations). I know we can use the claim form to some degree but only if we have a claim to submit so it doesn't really meet the criteria.

P.S. I think it would be appreciated if someone would make this thread a sticky so it is easy to find.

Much thanks in advance.

+1.

Also, how about an entry in the claims drop-down list for ground forces, if the e/a came down over friendly territory or even in NML?

The Germans especially relied on ground force verification for many of their kills.

Would it be possible to add in an automobile (much like the bicycle from OFF) to WOFF.

I think it would be a great way to explore the WOFF world and some of the dimensions that are lost from the air. Add to the immersion, etc.

This feature you already have, sort of. Just hit "J" and you will find yourself with a free camera which you can use on any direction and height possible. It is always in pause-modus so usually i hit "J" and then "P" to unpause it again. Often I lower the camera as low as possible to have about men's height above ground and follow the roads etc. visiting farms and maybe towns and churches etc. It is not perfect and has some bugs (far away objects can appear above or below groundlevel etc.), but by far better than driving with a T-Model IMO. Would be cool to have this feature with a sort of directional indicator where it shows you where you aproximately are. Then you might after landing specifically search for the wreckage you have downed etc., like they did in real. At least the German side since most of victories where over German soil.

Transparent label frames, more elegant font for labels,..I know it sounds silly, but I don´t like actual in- sim font at all.

Sure, certainly aware of the J camera view. And use it from time to time.
But I was thinking more in line with MS Flight Simulator, where one can use a car to drive over the landscape..staff car to the front in WOFF would be interesting.

Consistency of Flight/Schwarm members.

At present it seems to be randomised so that every mission has different pilots in a given Flight/Schwarm.

Also ranks are not apportioned 'correctly' between flights: sometimes there are three Flight Commanders in 'A' Flight (RNAS) but 'B' Flight is led by a Flight Lieutenant.

This would then completely change in the next mission with all ranks and pilots moving between between Flights/Schwärme seemingly randomly.

Furthermore there are only 2 Flights in RFC/RNAS squadrons, and there should (historically) be three (of five pilots in 1917, six in 1918 [where operationally possible of course])

I don't know if it's been mentioned. I'd like to see an auto pilot feature where you could just fly straight, without following a way point. I don't even know if it's possible but, I thought I'd mention it.

More options for labels would be helpful. I'd like very basic labels, like a small red symbol over enemy planes, and a small blue symbol over friendlies. The long banner as used now is too large and has too much info for my taste.

Also, it would be helpful if the ground target labels were a different color than air target labels.

Could we please get an option to "Never be Flight Leader"?

I usually don't have a lot of time to play WOFF at a sitting, and being flight leader forces me to not use time compression. I would prefer to never lead a flight, thus allowing me to x4 through the boring, site-seeing part of each mission.

This option would also allow a person to enlist a pilot with a high enough rank to get a fancy machine like the Sopwith Triplane, without having to be the flight leader on almost every mission.

Thanks for your consideration of my humble request.

Auto pilot and compression should work when being flight leader..sure it has for me.

That may be true, Wodin, but I would feel guilty if I saw enemy machines late because I was on compression and auto-pilot while leading a flight.

I do it all the time when I'm not leading, however.

From what I can tell, I don't think anyone else has mentioned it, so I will. The Vickers FB5 Gunbus.

And, an option for the auto pilot to fly straight and level. Don't know if either is possible but, that's my wish list.

Well, how about an option where time compression stops when enemy machines get within say 2000 yards? They had something like that in RB3D. I don't know what the distance was, but you'd drop right out of compression when the enemy was close.

OFF used to do the same. WOFF only drops out of compression when you tell it to. In OFF warp only you got warped, in WOFF time compression everybody's time is compressed - including the AI. Maybe it could be changed to automatically drop out when an enemy machine is near.

OFF also would refuse to enter Warp if there were 'enemies near'.

OFF used the compression that came with CFS3. Which basically took you to the next point where there was action. I don't know what OBD did to add the compression they have in WOFF, but I don't think it's native to CFS3. That could also be what's screwing up the ability to switch between seats in multi seat aircraft.

IIRC, in RB3D, you could actually enter into 2x compression with enemy around. But, I might be wrong about that. Frankly, I think I'd rather have the old time compression from OFF. But, that's just me.

Would it be possible to allow the player if leading formation, to manually choose which pilots from his squad/jasta roster, he'd like to fly with?

Use to be able to do that in RB IIRC..was a nice feature..immersive, etc.

Yeah, I liked that feature from RBII/3D. If you wanted, you could dismiss the entire flight and go solo too.

It would be nice to have a believable sequence of missions. I'm just guessing how it would be, but something like this:

For every one or two reccy the next mission will be an escort. Or After a scramble mission, then we will be protecting an another airbase from attack... and so on. It is very close to accomplishing this already:
