Trooper, you make a compelling argument for loading CFS3 again..

Beautiful screenshots all!

Thanks

Here's a few more... a change of scene as we move into the winter months.


On escort patrol with the one and a half Strutter B from the Sopwith stable (oh my lord, where's my gunner gone?).




Some Hun's try to intercept our recce aircraft on route to the front... time to give Roland Rat a bit of a dusting I think...




Those Roland's were not quite as easy to 'dust up' as I thought... I soon found myself in trouble and had to make for home.




It was quite clear just who had been dusting up who...




Made it down safely. I think I was jolly lucky to get down in one piece... that Roland chappies gunner was a rather skilled shot!

That is a really nice shot Trooper.

Survived another sortie... home, and tea!

I have a question. If you are using fraps or some similar video capture software, how are you replaying your missions and taking external pictures of your dogfights? Are you maybe pausing the mission in game during your dogfight and taking these pictures, or how are you doing it? Very nice pics by the way Trooper. I think I am going to purchase WOFF EU this Wednesday or next Saturday.

I just pause mid game and take the odd pic here and there with the different camera views
I don't use fraps etc... just pause, select the view I want and press the 'K' key to take my pic.

The Hun is on his way!... we have to gain altitude quickly.




A break in the murky conditions give us a first sighting of the enemy.




If we can't get up there soon it will be too late, we will never catch them!




He's going home... Almost there!




DAMN AND BLAST IT!... couldn't catch the blighter. Fired off all my ammunition, but couldn't do much damage at that range.
As I head back to St Omer, I drop below the clouds once more, the dark atmosphere returns and matches my mood...

Really nice Trooper. I have neglected to purchase WOFF UE yet, but I am off From Wednesday until next Monday. I think I am going to have to take the plunge. If this Sim is one half as good to fly as the pictures show it to be, then it must be worth it.

I will say, compared to RoF, you may be a little disappointed in the games feeling of flight, as RoF is far superior in that regard.
However, the dev's have made various improvements to the fm's over the years.

The game does excel in its campaign mode, plus a pretty believable AI system which does beat RoF in that regard.
I have always said, if we could combine the great bits of both games we would be in WWI aviation heaven

Well I have purchased and installed. I just ran it with autopilot, need to make time to set up controls, but so far so good. I am looking forward to delving into this deeper.

I can guarantee I wouldn't want to be up in a storm of that magnitude in one of those kites.

Great pics BM

But that crate is so difficult to survive in... rearward and above vision is really impaired by that back staggered wing. You can't see the bad guys coming.
However, forward vision is great... in reality they excelled in the ground attack role, but they can't really hold their own against a well flown Albatros... glad you took the plunge.

The last patrol...

Damaged and loosing control, the end for many of their kind...

And to think, I have not even had time to set up my controls and fly this Beautiful Sim yet. Tomorrow night and Sunday I am all up in it! Can't wait. Sweet FX just adds that little bit extra on top of the Excellent job that OBD has done with the Graphical Artistry in WOFF UE. It is quite amazing what they have squeezed out of the old CFS3.

Glad you are enjoying it BM. There are countless hours of great experiences ahead of you and UE always seems to find ways to surprise. Great screen shots everyone.

After a bit of struggle to get my controls working and getting TIR5 working and I am finally up and flying. I have Wednesday off plus 5 days off coming up from Thursday before Christmas through the day after Christmas off. I did a little 2 on 2 and I am surprised at how good WOFF UE feels. I really like ROF and haven't flown it in months but this really feels like it is going to be fun in the Dog Fights. My Crosswinds feel just right with no adjustment. My Thrustmaster t16000m feels perfect after I turned the dead zone down to #2. I use an X52pro for the throttle and the stick for extra buttons and I am curios whether the Saitek software will work in WOFF UE? Here are a couple of pics I took using Sweet FX and NVDINSP 4x S [Combined: 1x2 SS + 2x MS(D3D only)] Antialiasing Mode and 2x Sparse Grid Supersampling and 16x Anistrophic filtering setting while keeping 50-60 FPS with Vertical Sync forced on. The Vertical Sync really keeps the screen from chopping up when using TIR5 and 2560x1440. I think it looks good plus even in heavy traffic I still keep good FPS with my old GTX770 4 GB. Hope you enjoy.

It's the best single player sim made..period.

Also with the announcement of a WW2 version by end of next year lots to look forward too!

Go to WOFF forum to see WW2 announcement.

To those worried that it needs CFS3..honestly you have no need to worry if you didn't know you'd know idea CFS3 had anything to do with it.

It's way way more than just a glorified mod.

Also the WW2 version will benefit from all the engine updates WOFF has gone through..so at release it will be fantastic never mind after expansions etc etc.

1. True.

2. According to the devs, Wings Over The Reich (WOTR)has even higher polygon counts and a better flight model and damage model than WOFF UE has, however once WOTR has been released, their goal is to import those advancements back into WOFF UE.

3. OBD plans to continue releasing add-ons for the Ultimate Edition, so it looks like the best WWI flight simming days are still ahead of us.

Hope its ok to post Trooper?
