I think the short answer is No. If there is one, I've never been able to find it.

I don't think that is exactly what he wanted, but it will probably answer most of his questions.

Its part of why WOFF is entertaining.High immersion with its simplicity and just an enjoyable feeling of flight coupled with shear terror as you get jumped by enemy scouts!!

There are various manuals in the Documentation folder of your install.

Look in \WOFF\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields\documentation

It has a copy of the FAQ in there, but for the very latest FAQ on the web also has a "HOW TO GET STARTED IN WOFF" section near the end plus other gameplay tips throughout.

Also the WOFF Keyguide and WOFF Player guide are on line on HELP or DOWNLOADS pages.

For all newbies, to make it even easier - here is the link:

"Wings Over Flanders Fields" - FAQ + "How to get started"

"How to get started" is on page 41, I think.
But it is useful to read the whole of it - there is a lot you might want to know.

Thx guys, I already had found the above mentioned documents, was wondering if there was a formal manual, guess not. Just totally surprised there isn't something so basic and so needed. Something explaining things like all the choices in the Workshop would be nice, for example. Some are obvious, but a couple are pretty opaque. I'll yell if I really need to know.

WOFF seems rather a sort of amateur hobby product for the in-group who have been with OFF/WOFF for years. I found several things scrounging through the website. But really for a commercial product there should be a document, a manual, that collects all this and presents it to the purchaser rather than a raw download with the install information tucked away in a generic document only to be found by paging through the website. At least one bit of info on the website about patching left me quite confused, I closed my eyes and gave it my best shot - I think I got it right, but things shouldn't be that way.

The above said, I've got TrackIR working and having finally found the Key Command graphic, back to paging through the website again, will hopefully have everything with the joystick and throttle and programmable key module setup today. Hope to be flying soon. smile

That's what comes with a extremely small team that do all things, making it, editing and updating website, support, artwork programming and model making wink

If anyone has time to write a great quick start guide feel free smile

Most things are reasonably obvious, and WOFF tells you that you must create a pilot the first time you ever try to fly- then takes you to the screen to do it etc. Install is also very easy compared to many things so not bad overall!

You won't find a more helpful community anywhere. As long as people ask polite questions, there's usually one or more people here who will take the time to get you the answer. If WOFF is short on printed manuals, it's deep on community commitment and involvement in helping others.

cheers

Hi Andyp,

Welcome to WOFF.

I would suggest you check out the links on this page under WOFF Documents.
http://www.overflandersfields.com/downloadsWOFF3.html


http://www.overflandersfields.com/Downloads/WOFF%20Key%20Guide.pdf

http://www.overflandersfields.com/Downloads/WOFF%20Key%20Guide%20Print.pdf

http://www.overflandersfields.com/Downloads/Gameplay%20and%20AI%20Questions.pdf


http://www.overflandersfields.com/Downloads/FAQ%20WOFF.pdf

Might want to let us know what version of WOFF you have, what addons, some system specs, and what controls you use, joystick, TrackIR, etc.

F6 will toggle the view from cockpit to gunsite.
F1 will cycle though different views.

I use CTRL-SHIFT-q to end a mission.
