Going over my personal mod collection and ensuring compatibility with WOFF UE.
Take nothing for granted and check the files line by line.
Not unexpectedly there have been changes to many of the key files that are usually altered that make things happen.

I have been putting the files side by side (modded and unmodded) and when I see any difference then I mod the UE file.
An example would be the awesome (Bucksnort's?) "Random Delayed Engine Start" mod.
The simulation.xml has definitely changed so I use the UE file as the mod base.

My "WOFF News Mod" seems to work fine, which is not surprising as it is just some simple text and picture files.

Yes thank you for the confirmation.
I looked at your files and UE and all looked fine.
It's a keeper!
Thanks!

Your news mod is the first i install on any upgrade Scout.
Its a brilliant mod

Vague indeed.

Crikey....so many weirdos...can't we just enjoy the new #%&*$# before we badmouth the issues. First time I've had to dial in the "ignore this user" option. STFU......play the game you're given!! It's outstanding....nice job devs!!

Eh?

Bad mouth issues?
Like a delayed engine start for your flight giving you 10 seconds time to look around, check out the beautiful field, and make cockpit adjustments? A few more news articles being displayed?
This is tearing the heart and soul out of UE?
STFU and play your own damn game.

What is with the snarky comments and profanity around here the last couple of days? Very out of keeping with the usual positive discussions and ideas we share in this forum. Come on folks, let's get back to the civility and camaraderie we are normally blessed with.

Lou

Seconded!

Thirded!

Agree 100% Lou there,es been a bit of mud slinging around the last few days. I believe its come from the "Any chance of being able to buy just the new UE extras thread"
Its all about opinions absolutely,what might seem a fair price to one person isn,t the same to another.
Some of us felt that in our opinions WOFF UE was a little overpriced considering we already owned WOFF 1,2 +3 all the addons,skinpack before it came free. And asked why the discount code was only for purchasers of WOFF 3 after mid July. IMO a fair point to ask

For the thread to be told to "put up or shut up" and "Why don't you work for it and earn it if you want it"
well for me that beggars belief.

Im actually still fuming about those comments..If all the forum members could all afford this magnificent sim then we,d all be playing it,and sharing more vids,shots etc.

like ive said in my previous posts i sincerely wish every single one of you WOFF UE,s new and old members the very best. Ive never had a bad word for anyone. OBD i admire greatly has i do you fantastic modders who have turned this game into the finest sim ive ever owned.

But i agree Lou its time to stop the snarky comments..if i personnally want that id go over to some of the Steam forums..no ta

All the best lads

Adger, I totally understand the feelings of loyal OFF/WOFF followers who now have to pay the same price for the latest upgrades and improvements as a newcomer to the sim will pay for everything. It doesn't seem fair. I am glad to see that the devs have extended the discount to all current owners of WOFF 3 as this will certainly help ease some of those feelings of unfairness. That being said, I've personally always looked at what I pay for the various WOFF additions and upgrades as a donation to a very small team that has been working for years to give us the best WWI combat flight sim ever created, bar none. But I know I am also lucky at this point in my life to have the funds to do this without it coming down to a choice between purchasing WOFF or food for the week. I've been there and I can truly appreciate that situation.

Absolutely Lou and its comments like yours and Hellshades and others that make this Forum a real good place to be 99% of the time. The positivity here massively outweighs any negativity. A great post mate which i absolutely agree with.

+1 Lou. I could not have said it better.

Since I am the, apparent source, of some of this negativity you need worry no longer.
And don't worry - this isn't a post full of drama.
Since you referenced my earlier comments I guess that opens the door for a response.

This isn't some touchy-feelly post in that I regret nothing that I said.

What I regret is wasting it on a company that didn't ask to be defended nor do they deserve to be.
They are in existence to make money nothing more and therefore undeserving of anything but my money.
As long as they continue to put out a product worth my money they will get it. When they don't they won't. Easy.

I'll still be around though enjoying things and contributing, when asked, what little I may and perhaps asking a question or two. But ultimately I am here for me and whatever is needed to maximize my enjoyment of my paid product that, for good or ill, is right now the only game in town. And there are many players here who do deserve my loyalty by the years of help and assistance they have given me and this community - you know who you are.
So let's all have fun with whatever version you may end up with and hopefully it contributes to a better understanding and interest of that fascinating and glorious period of history and the sacrifice made by aviators on all sides.
Say what you want, do what you want, whatever, but have fun. Life is too short to be wasted on stupid things, people, and companies. It's an airplane game eh? Fly and have fun.

Very nice Lou. I to have been around since the very first going pains of Off. I have every version of OFF and all of the addons. I have always felt the Devs have never been properly paid for all their hard work and dreams. I have even paid twice for several parts of OFF due to hard drive issues. Pol offered to refund one of my payments, but I felt it was a small price to pay for the time and enjoyment I delved from the Sim. I was late buying the WOFF 3. But I ended up on the WOFF website and saw the new version. I had not been playing much WOFF, but I had to have the new version and all off the addons. I brought them all that day. I will buy the UE version soon. I to have come to the point in my life where I can afford the tings I want, but I to know the agony of not getting something I wanted because the bills must be paid first. It is not fun but the harsh reality of life. I do know that the very first OFF programs were free when I could not even afford a decent computer to run them, but the hours of enjoyment were great. The other thing I know is that the Devs were always there to help with problems or to give us upgrades. I cannot imagine the hours they spent on this program, I just get the pleasure of enjoying it. I do not fly as much as I used too, there are so many things to do. I do know that this game and this forum full of fine gentlemen has always been a place of refuge when I need it. There are still many of the old people who have been here from the start, that is a comfort. I hope this place continues to be the place it has always been. Iwant to thank all the Devs for their hard work, but I also want the wonderful gentlemen here on this forum, for without you there would be no place worth going to discuss this fine sim we have. THANK YOU ALL!

Amen, Mr. Dirt. I think everyone shares those sentiments.
