It's a bit quiet...

It's pretty quiet here of late... It's plain that you chaps have been listening to the IO's security lectures!

Quite right, I hope the announcement I just made isn't on deaf ears

lol!... and a couple of great announcements they were too
That will get those tongues wagging again I bet...

I am all ears! I look forward to everything OBD does.

Apparently, Trooper, you just need to come in here every now and again and say that and good things will happen!

Hah!... we will have to put that to the test then

Blade, you are the creative humorist for sure! Love the giffy.

Ok chaps... it's been over a month since I posted, it's about time something really good jumped out of the soup and smacked us squarely in the face!

Perhaps something that looks a little like this?

Seems plenty rowdy up here, encountered a combined raid of He-111's and Ju-88's while stress testing my new CPU for "heavy" settings.

(Please ignore the uninhabited Hurricane, the AI pilot seems to be lacking in moral fiber and bailed for some reason, he probably saw my frame rate)

It looks like new features are incoming..from the Home page news section dated 19th Dec.

"We are working on some new free features for Wings Over The Reich V1.9. Coming soon, these new improvements include German Bomber Flights that will sometimes form one large offensive force. Increased 109 Escort activities in player region - watch your six! Improved formations will also contain multiple flights, optimisations and more! "


excellent news,ive been busy of late but hopefully il get some time to fly more over the festive period.

Wings over Awesome is what they ought to be called

Bump!

Again... very quiet!

Apart from a few die hards keeping the forum going due to the RR Challenge, very little interest seems to be generated.

Come on devs, give us a few bones to chew over!

Meanwhile lurking in the background.

I'm really busy on a number of mods, not official stuff I realise, and very much a matter of individual taste as to whether it is of any value, but the map is coming along and I should have a new version of that out relatively soon. The other mods I have installed for myself currently are delayed from sharing pending the next official patch and some testing I'll need to do whcih I don't have the time for as I'm mapping mapping mapping at the moment.

The devs said they will be putting AI engine start-up sounds in the next patch if you hadn't seen, which is great news (and saves me time and effort messing further with that mod), like the individual flight numbers they did, it is a pretty welcome thing they're adding.


As for the forum generally, I've learnt my lesson on getting too involved in forums, so my interest in WOTR far outweighs my forum posting rate!

Great news Chief,yep i noticed the Ai engine sounds comment,i personnally look forward to any mods that you create.

This place along with WOFF forum is usually a chilled out place. Hoping for some news soon regarding the next patch\add-ons hopefully within

[clears throat]

The calm before "The Gathering Storm!"

I'm hoping the new WOTR Update V1.14 Spitfire will help..

Psssst.... want to buy a second hand Wimpy?

OK I'll bite, what's a whimpy?
Actually I thought it was a burger here.

lol... c'mon Pol, even you know 'Wimpy' was the nickname the RAF gave to the Wellington ...
This one was found in Loch Ness!

...nickname I believe derived from Popeye's mate, hamburger-loving J. Wellington Wimpy.

Now, where did I leave that spinach?

Ah that Wimpy

How much is the Wimpy ?

Ah, you don't need to buy a wreck Pol... as I'm sure you chaps in Dev world are probably going to produce a brand new one

Hows the 1.19 patch testing going guys. Any news that can be shared?

Well, there's a taster in the pics thread...

My take is that it's going remarkably well. The are quite a few additional improvements to accuracy beyond those previously advertised. And there's a couple which are not merely functionally useful, they create the impression you are working in what today would be called an integrated air defence system, not merely flying WW1-type operations in WW2. For such a large update, it's been remarkably plain sailing, from the point I got involved anyway.

There are now well over 50 Improvements and fixes in WOTR V1.19. Some are quite a change. One new feature is the ability to call Control for a Vector to enemy aircraft.

I will post the full change list soon.

We have been extremely busy what with WOFF PE release, and working on WOTR V1.19 too.

sounds very cool.....thank you

Excellent! That will be a great feature to have in the game. Looking forward to it.

Thanks Lima and Pol,the upcoming 1.19 sounds incredible.
