I do know I installed WOFF UE straight over WOFF 3 with zero problems, so I "think" it would be the same for WOFF 2.

The downside of this is it does increase the possibilities of error, versus a clean WOFF UE install, but then as the old saying goes: "you pays your money and take your chances".

Over50 use Robert's excellent back-up utility. It not only backs up the progress of your pilots, but the key bindings as well. Settings in workshop will be different and probably better to set them again. If not, just take the screen shot of what you had and set them again by looking at the screenshots and comparing. I also recommend to uninstall old version and start with clean slate, but it should be possible to install over v2 as well. HTH.

Not concerned with saving pilot progress ... as I said I'm a casual player meaning I fly when the mood strikes be it a quick mission or just sight seeing with my Track IR 5 in various different aircraft. I've started a campaign but never stayed with it long enough to complete it. Same with OFF up through the Hat in the Ring expansion. Ditto with IL2 BOS ...

I have a CH Products USB combat stick plus the rudder pedals and used the CH control manager to save my WOFF joystick buttons and rudder setup as a file that I can "download" to the game each time I play. Was concerned whether the file would be recognized with a fresh UE installation vs. installing UE over my expansion 2.16 version that does recognize the saved file.

Update:

I bit the bullet and bought the UE and have it installed plus the latest patch.

As a FYI, my CH control manager combat stick and rudder pedals configuration map file I created for expansion 2 [DID] reload OK with UE.

*** The only thing that didn't carry over from version 2 is the smaller size and location of the TAC display I had set up.... and I can't find the note I had for which file to modify - and how - and where it's located. Not a big deal but it would be nice to be able to do this in the workshop. Hopefully in another patch IF there are any more from this point on.... ???

UPDATE: Found my notes on how to modify the TAC display size AND figured out you can just drag the TAC display with the mouse to where you want it. All good now. thumbsup

FWIW ... I'm getting 60 FPS vsync'd with max visual options at 1920x1200 with a 7 year old x58 mobo, i7-930 oc'd to 3.8 GHz and a Evga GTX 980 SC GPU running W10. Also have a Samsung 512 GB SSD that's probably helping ...
