I think that Roadmap makes perfect sense. It broadens OBDs potential sales into the much larger WWII genre which makes them more financially viable but with the Official Sponsor (the esteemed Mr. Fairchild) being a lover of WWI, we can have good reason to believe that WOFF UE will not be pressured to be abandoned in favor of the newer product.

WOFF UE is a very polished product that already contains countless hours of enjoyment. (Anyone here mastered all 78 aircraft yet or finished the war once yet from start to end with one country, let alone all of them?) Add-ons keep development going with additional planes, content and features while OBD gets to continue working on new technologies in the more profitable WWII genre, which can then later be ported back to WOFF UE. Short of a sudden, massive resurgence in WWI air combat sims, that is best Roadmap forward one could hope for.

Thanks to OBD for not giving up, to Mr. Fairchild for making this possible, to everyone who has and continues to donate to add extra wind in the sales (see what I did there?) and to all the modders who find creative new ways to expand our playing options and experiences. Best community ever and now with a brighter future than ever.
