New Great review on ArmChairGeneral.com:

Review on ArmchairGeneral.com

"Simply put, Wings Over Flanders Fields is the upgraded edition of what is arguably the best World War I flight simulator on the market."


Many thanks to Rick for the review.

Seems WOFF is slowly getting there, even without commercials!
I wish you guys so much, that more people discover WOFF - I am sure there is a huge
possible community, which still only needs to find it.

For an insider-tip music band, it takes at least 7 years to get a big enough community;
for a WW1 sim it may well be double the time.

Did somebody mention the soon-to-be-released French two-seaters expansion pack? biggrin

WOFF really deserves these good reviews. I still think the biggest obstacle for most people having doubts is that it requires CFS3.

The full-realism claim process is complicated?
With all respect, but I guess the writer never sent a real life claim to the real life brass.
I made a claim today, and my wingman was right behind me and the perfect witness -
and the claim was confirmed right after leaving the mission manager.
After all, it is the "full realism" claim.
The people can choose 2 easier ways - two! What's the problem?

Congratulations for such a positive review, OBD, fully deserved and on a very important website. The negative points by the reviewer were nitpicky to say the least. It seemed like he HAD to find some negative points not to sound too biased.

From that article: "The true joy of the game is taking your pilot though a campaign and watching as he either dies or survives, winning medals and accolades. Be warned though, I have found that the chance of being killed in combat is about equal to what it was for a real World War I pilot—roughly 75%!"

And you can say that again skullhead Woff is not easy like some simulators.

Well earned kudos to the developers! Every review WOFF has received has been extremely complimentary of this amazing WW1 flight sim. One or two good reviews might be luck, but after awhile when they keep coming in it becomes obvious that the consensus is that Wings Over Flanders Fields is something special. And I agree. It is.

And well they should be. Wings Over Flanders Fields is far and away the best single-player flight sim I've ever seen and unquestionably the best achievable with the current generation of pc's. That in itself is something for the team do be proud of. But when you consider the weak foundation upon which they built this Taj Mahal their accomplishment is even more amazing.


SALUTE TO ALL!

I keep tryimg to get the folks at DCS to give this site a try.

They are not the kind supportive folks we find here and not into realistic "like it was then" flight sim,
but thought it was worth a try.

I realy wanted the F-86, but DCS has so many issues, it was a no go for me.

Here is a quote from the acepilots web site "World War One Airplane Games

Similarly, there is a dearth of WW1 airplane games. The market just isn't there, especially in the first-person shooter category (the most popular). Gamers want constant action, a wide variety of weapons, multiple opponents, and unpredictable complex environments. The action of a fighter pilot in his 100MPH wooden airplane, firing a single .30 caliber machine gun at a single type of opponent in an empty sky just doesn't offer enough complexity. Maybe I exaggerate, and there is a great unfilled demand for WWI fighter pilot games that just haven't been developed. "

There doesn't seem to be a way to contact them but maybe someone should tell them about WOFF and maybe even ROF?
