I didn't follow WOFF development for a long time so forgive me if I ask some obvious stuff. It seems that OBD is now working on a new project(WOTR) and that WOFFUE is now the "final" version of WOFF. Now I would like to know how the status of the game is, is it a finished & polished product or is there still an amount of work to do? And furthermore, is the content(maps & planes) now large enough to be considered as complete WW1 flight sim or are major things still missing? And how will the support and future addition of content be if the OBD is now buissy with the new project?
I'm just worried that ROFF is repeated, there the devs went to another project and the potential of ROFF was never utilized. Cheers

OBD hasn't ruled out the possibility of future add-on packs, but they are neck deep in WOTR right now, so I don't anticipate any new content until they have released a payable version of WOTR first. They do have to put bread on the table!

As far as whether WOFF UE is a "completed product" like JJJ says, it depends on your point of view. WWI is too titanic for any one sim to cover the whole bloody enterprise.
I think you can describe any simulation in terms of both breadth and depth. Some sims are very broad, attempting to cover all theaters and all time periods, but without a lot of depth or detail. Other sims are more limited in scope, but more deeply cover the part that the sim has decided to focus on. WOFF UE is perhaps the ultimate expression of the second type. WOFF focuses on the Western front, so you won't have any Russian, Italian, or middle eastern aircraft. However, the depth of detail in terms of coverage of the Western front is incredible! I haven't even mentioned the depth of historical detail and devotion to historical accuracy contained in WOFF.
While no sim can appeal to every person's wish and desire (no Belgian units, cough, cough), I don't think you will be the slightest bit disappointed if you decide to take the plunge and purchase WOFF UE.

There it is, straight from the horse's mouth! Disclaimer: the above is not meant to imply, in any way, shape, or form, that Polovski is a horse, or that he shares any part of a horse's anatomy--particularly the hind end! Thanks, Polovski.

WOFF UE is not "ended" and we have never stated that anywhere. We are knee deep in WOTR at the moment, and when we have breathing time we hope to release more for WOFF. I look forward to Wings Over the Reich, and also look forward to anything OBD gives us with WOFF:UE....I've had a blast, and this game **is the spiritual and technical successor to the Dynamix and Microprose games Knights of the Air, Red Baron, and Red Baron II/3D including the Full Canvas Jacket uber mod for the RB3D software.** Thanks to Polovski and the OBD team for their fine treatment of career aspects and aviation over the Western Front of WWI! Regards, Jeff

I'd also add that even if WOFF UE stopped where it currently is - it would take you years, if not more, to play through all of the various potential campaigns. There are so many fronts, so many aircraft, so many different squadrons, that you can create a wide range of incredibly different experiences. I doubt I'll ever really play through all of it - but I'm happy to keep trying!
