FANTASTIC!

I finally got around to starting a campaign with my full complement of MODS. Here's my MOD list:



I'll make a pilot and his first solo mission a transfer from England to St. Omer with the correct waypoints.


This is the default mission which I'm going to change.


Making the changes and switching the planes. Now reducing all other squadrons to 1 plane flights (it's 1915!)


Flying solo with belongings in the front seat.


Waypoint looks good. Now I can use Autopilot and time compression when needed for coffee breaks.




It's lonely out here.






Mission complete after 3 hours.


Mission Log file shows the squadrons that were spawned with one plane each inside my campaign.

Have you confirmed that the Enhanced Effects mod actually works properly?
If so what is your OS?

where the F do you get this mod? (1 aircraft etc)

Lederhosen, I think OldHat created it. I would like to know what the 'Interrupt Days' mod does?

I luv the idea of having to fly out from England to France at the start of a campaign. Much more realistic on be 'posted' to a new unit.

Wish they would include that in WOFF 3!

Ok thanks.
Yes I had issues with it on XP/W7 and have yet to try it on W10.

Thanks OldHat, I remember now you explaining that mod.

This looks just fantastic, OldHat!

I haven't had a chance to roll up my sleeves and dive in yet, but looking forward to it.

Just having the ability to create transfer flights and squad transfer flights I miss when I use time advance will be great, let alone everything else it looks like it can do.

I was reading lately about the tactics used during WW1. The Germans maintained a defensive stance throughout the war while the British's Trenchard was always on the offensive.

I was floored when I saw that OBD includes this inside WOFF. I noticed while editing a 1918 campaign mission file there were many German patrols within their own territory and a few recon flights venturing past the front. The British had two patrols within their side, but mostly bombing/attack flights with a couple of recon all inside German territory or passing the front into German held territory.... WOW! talk about historical accuracy oozing from WOFF.

The only adaptation I made was to reduce the number of airplanes in recon flights. Historically, I read that the Germans had 1 and British had 2 planes in a recon flight and mostly without escorts. I did not modify anything else and left all other patrols and bombing raids untouched because the numbers were close enough.

What a difference in immersion when you see either a solo or pair of enemy two-seaters knowing it's just a recon flight or when you see a massive enemy group (single/two seaters) knowing it was an attack mission..... It's like playing what you read in history books.... very very cool OBD.

This is all really cool, Oldhat. I want to try it, but I think this still might be over my head by a long shot.
