After building a new rig to replace my five-year old computer, I've got WOFF up and running. Incredible sim, but taking me a bit to get used to some of the different keys nad commands and setting up my joystick.

Is the 'time warp' that was in OFF still available? I was unable to find this on the default key guide.
If not, does setting autopilot and speeding up time automatically stop when you contact enemy aircraft?

Thanks guys and thanks to the developers!!

Time warp is gone from WOFF. As it was explained to me, time warp never actually worked to begin with (it just accelerated your flight through the game world & kept everything else frozen in place) - but in WOFF, you can utilize time compression (Shift+plus and Shift+minus, Ctrl+X reverts back to no time compression) to accelerate the ENTIRE game world. Pretty cool.

Crtl + Shift + A turns on full autopilot. No strait & level only autopilot currently. Use the bracket keys ([,]) to speed up and slow down time compression. Keep in mind, if you are not paying attention and run into enemies, your autopilot will attempt to fight at 16x time compression, it will not drop you out to normal time. I usually use autopilot and time compression to get to and from the patrol zone and pay close attention in case things go south along the way and then I can take over.

autopilot is there, should be shift A or something like that (I can't remember exactly as I have it bound to a button on my joystick) but not a level autopilot, which is on the requested features list and is being looked at by OBD.

Whoops! Good catch Robert, I was at work confusing zoom with time scale! duh

The current 'autopilot' is a full AI. He'll fly the whole mission for you if you let him .. take off, landing, fighting ...

A simple straight and level autopilot is on the list .. somewhere

Thanks for the replies, guys. Makes sense given the dynamic nature of the AI flights.

In fact I fly with autopilot on and act as the BE2c gunner looking backwards. Seems to work fine as the AI lands fine. I just haven't seen anything to shoot at yet, but it is Feb 1915 so maybe that explains it.

TrackIR works fine from that position.

That's the only extra feature I really want, at this point. Hope it shows up sometime, allowing us to time compress without turning full control over to the AI Autopilot.
