Normally I would be in a dream position.
Weather is hideous, chores are done, and the family is gone for the day. What could be better in WOFF world?
The problem is 2.0.
If 2.0 was a month away no problem. But with it just around the corner - literally - I find a strange reluctance to fire up my 1.26 campaigns with all the 2.0 goodness so near. I am sure I will be able to "force" myself to play however!

Weird eh?

I am feeling precisely the same way Duke, so if it's weird then we're both there. Working on maps today instead of flying because of that odd reluctance you've noted.

Yep can't do it.
Think I'll work on some WOFF skins or clean guns.
Luckily next week is the holidays.

I am such a WOFF slappy!

Right... now is the time someone will pipe up and tell you that you couldn't possibly have played all the scenarios and flown all the planes in WoFF. (because they know what's best) lol!

Your a cruel man Trooper. You expect me to fly without:

Searchlights over Paris, England and more. Get caught and they will try to track you!

Expanded Theatre:
Terror Over England!

- Fly Home Defence in England - defend your country against incoming Zeppelin and Gotha Raids!

- Or attack England from a choice of the Gotha IV Equipped Bosta squadrons in Europe.


Improved Cliffs of Dover and Sea

Many new features for DX9 (Direct-X 9) rendering with options now built in via workshops to create dynamic self -shadowing of aircraft, dynamic ground shadows for ground objects, cloud shadows - all varying with the sun angle and moon.

See trees cast their long shadow across the fields at sunset and sunrise and more!

DX9 Terrain Bump mapping and Improved Sea rendering. Lighting and sea states will vary with the weather!

Revised and improved Cliffs of Dover Geographic terrain models!
These also work well with the new lighting and look great in the rain in a choppy sea.

Expanded Campaign Features:

- New Advance Time by a day, a week, or month to allow your squad to recover.

- Leave Request now implemented - now your pilot can take a well earned leave of
48 hours or 5 days if your pilot is eligible.


Sunset shows new ground shadowing

- New Workshops settings: Encounters - High or Realistic to tweak the chances of encounters for those that want it.

- Claims System Revisions:
Workshops Setting Claims and Promotions revised, now you won't be prompted to claim or told if you have a kill for more realism. However you can still set it to prompt you if you prefer, or bypass it completely and be awarded all kills automatically.

- New: Night activity implemented in England to reflect actual night activity in WW1. Home Defence variants and the Gotha now have new cockpit lights for those lonely dark nights in the sky!

- Time Advance to next Historical Date if the player is in a region where historical missions are taking place (such as England Home defence for example).

Plus more, some examples;

New external Camera "Field of View" now settable in workshops (DX9 shader enabled) to allow more natural views and screenshots.

Improved night effects, including new Searchlights

Many other improvements such as additional targets for long range bombing activity implemented in England and France.

All British French and German Squads overhauled to include for more historical craft.

Revised AI morale factors to reduce 'fight to the death' scenarios even more, and to encourage better self preservation.

Increased wind buffeting effects for player and AI craft, more bobbing!

Some Terrain revisions and improvements.

'Newly planted Growing crops' terrain now implemented in Spring - England and Europe.

Distant Dots (of Aircraft) improved to more accurately resemble 'specks' in the distance with subtle colour change.


BE2C Home Defence showing new cockpit lighting to aid hunting night time enemies!.

Plus 2 non-flyable (AI only) Zeppelins - which I think no currently developer supported WWI flight sim has.

What do you think I am? Made of stone? And now you crush poor Raine.
Heartless sir, just heartless!

Well well...the next add-on.

I will vote for a "expanded " Western front with fully fleshed out, and equipped, British,, American, Belgian, French, and German, forces with correct aircraft and a "as real as it gets" campaign system (both in the air and on the ground) and assorted game tweaks.

Ah! One can dream!

Funny, I'm as excited as everyone else about 2.0, but I've got a whopper of a campaign going in Jasta 2 in my Alb. D.III in May 1917.

So, until 2.0 releases, you'll excuse me while I go hunting for some British kills. biggrin

I suspect the French are due for some love maybe?
