What have you experienced, Parachuteprone? What squadron are you in? What plane do you fly? What's it like out on patrol for you? I'm in No 1 sqd - Morane Parasol - 1915.(Love early stuff) On my 4th mission. Have yet to see an enemy machine and am loving it. I'm waiting for a transfer to come through so I can try the BE2c Coming from ROF I expected the graphics not to be as good but Wow! I find the clouds and ground detail way more realistic in WOFF. The planes are great and I can tell I've barely scratched the surface. We even have cows In one install I have most of the aircraft I've ever wanted. Wish I had switched sooner

You have so much depth in this sim that you'll still be experiencing things for the first time two years from now.
Great to have another Maritimer in the group! Yes ! Having a blast.

Wait...your waiting a transfer so you can FLY the Be2? As in you want to fly one? Your turning history on it's head sir...hehe. Well it was after a beer or two and the Be2 wasn't too bad early on. You won't catch me in one by April 1917 though.

Hehe. Actually I got a couple of hours. Light sleeper anyway but the main reason I am about is to check on my UE download and....yes it was done without a hitch. Whew. Big downloads off a satellite are always dicey.
EDIT: Oh I see what you are referring too! Yea I am really not stupid nor a bad speller or bad in grammar. I do almost all my forum stuff on my phone (I6) anymore. Between the auto "correct" and my old eyes stuff does happen! Or maybe it's a new, top secret model!

. Welcome to the WOFF skies Parachuteprone, you are in for years of some of the best SP simming around. Also, and I cannot stress this enough, new lads buy the drinks! .

This looks like the right thread to quickly comment on WOFF UE. I am delighted to say that I have UE up and running on my system - all thanks to Sandbagger for gifting me a copy! I haven't had nearly enough time to dive into the sim (who has?!) but all I can say so far is that UE really is the Ultimate Edition. I'm astounded at two noticeable changes: First: The upgrade to the graphics are significant. The two screenshots below really highlight the upgrades to the aircraft textures, OvS's marvelous repaint of the Albatros series, and the improved shaders: Here is my 1918 German career before UE: And after: The texturing on the aircraft is massively improved and the shaders really seem to highlight what's metal and what's canvas now. It looks spectacular, even on my modest system. Second: The frame rate! I haven't seen the massive improvement some were mentioning, but it is a dramatic upgrade from where I was before. I can now hold nearly consistent 60fps. I've dialed in my nvidia settings and now use Fast v-sync with 4 pre-rendered frames which really smooths out the experience. Dogfights, even with large numbers, now renders quite nicely and with minimum pauses and no stutters to report. The improvements really are in the details: the immersion really has jumped significantly from WOFF 2, which is the version I upgraded from. Sound design is noticeably better. The cockpits look even more convincing. The landscape renders beautifully and I find I'm often distracted by just how real everything looks now. The high-res aircraft textures combined with damage makes for incredibly life-like dogfights. It's all fantastic! I'll write up a more in-depth reaction to the sim over the next few days (hopefully!). In the meantime, enjoy the sim whenever you can! I'll be signing up with a DiD pilot shortly! Cheers!

Very illustrative screen shots, indeed; thanks for sharing. ...and with minimum pauses and no stutters to report. Would you please elaborate on how you distinguish between what you describe as "pauses" and "stutters"? Thank you.
