Would like to see a reduced amount of time the planes are in taking off mode.I understand that its done to keep the planes from crashing into each other but feel it could be tweaked some as its excessive IMO.

An EIII with option to add in a twin Spandau as the Fokker Scourge comes to an end.Make it you have to have a certain amount of kills to be able to request that loadout!

My biggest wish is for a map as detailed as Lou's(or Lou's map itself) but in the WOFF engine for when in the campaign map.Then a cutout of Lou's map for the area your will be flying in when you press the in flight map key to round it off.

The never dying historical aces are really killing the immersion for me, so what I would like to propose is that the devs add a switch in the workbench. An on/off switch that would allow the player to decide if he/she wants to play with the historical aces as is or to let them die like the rest of us.

I play a lot of online games and whenever WOFF comes up on TeamSpeak this is the number one complaint. The second most frequent complaint being the inability to take a leave of absence to advance time in your career like Albert Ball when he took 4 or 5 months off between his first and second tours of duty. Players like to follow a pilot through history but its not practical to do on a 1 or 2 missions per calendar day pace in the game.

A time advance feature and the option for mortal aces would be huge improvements

Dunno about mortal aces but time advance has always been there. Just go look.

You could only advance time one day at a time which took a minimum of 3 mouse clicks per day the last time I checked. It was very time consuming to try to move forward 3 or 4 months which takes 300 to 400 mouse clicks and waiting for screens to change. Maybe that's changed?

If you fiddle the pilot files it is easy

If you go that route, please backup your pilot files or you may kill any chances back out if u screw up.

Why would someone wish to move 3 or 4 months ahead ?
It's a lot faster to create a new pilot dossier at the right date ?

In campaign mode it would be nice to have all historical aces always set to "ace" skill level regardless of their squadron's overall skill level.

'

I believe they already are. It's just the non-historical AI pilots that receive the AI skill level based upon the rating of the squadron that they are in. Historical Aces, I believe, are always set to Ace AI skill level.

Can that be done? I looked at the pilot files 6 months ago and couldn't find a text file with the date.

That would be great if possible!

If you look at the pilot files you will see that it isn't - just pulling your leg

That was possible in OFF.
In WOFF, the pilot files are "cryptic scripts", and you'd have to know
what to do with them to get a certain result.
Me, I wouldn't touch them - don't want to have to do a re-install.

Just checking - I took a pilot and 'advanced' his date one day. Then compared the two files with a Hex editor. There were something like SIX changes all over the place. I was hoping to see an easy answer but alas ...

I mean I even managed to figure out the WORD file layout (which is completely crazy BTW) but this is impossible - as it was meant to be!

As for the moment, I would like to see trainingmissions recorded as flown missions also. By now it just Records the flighttime.

Next, an evaluation tool like Jims, to compare to each pilot flying out there in gameand pls add tools to create a DID Champagner with given rules, so the Game gover the rules, so Olham and Jim have more airtime, otber then comparing flies and stats. Great Job Guys, BTW!!


Cant stress this enough, because the DID campaign keeps me flying in WOFF, and is the reason why I bought it.

Reload topwing guns

I'd like to see some Gothas and Zeps, if not in the sim then at least in a few more pics.

Got another one,.....

ingame skinning tool, paint tool or how ever you call it!

Possible?

Workshop gives nice choices to tailor the game based on various preferences. If I were to add an extra feature, then it would be the ability to adjust aircraft numbers inside squads for both friendly and enemy sides.

So, you'd have the option to have empty skies with few lone wolf patrols. Then you can gradually increase the numbers towards late 1917 into 1918 (like dropdown boxes with number choices from one to eight).

This is different from "less air activity" which makes less airbases active, but still generates upto 6 planes in a squad.

It would be an option, so those that want constant action in every mission can still have it and those that want more realistic encounter rates can have it as well.

As I'm playing right now, I don't get a chance to become familiar with my squadmates. They are constantly being replaced because they die in missions. Apart from historical aces, I haven't had a single sqadmate survive more than 3 missions - and this is in early 1916, too!

Casey, that was our secret side-hobby - how could you have found out?
Jim, did you talk?!?





Well, that is a fine compliment - thank you, Casey.
Now we have the "DiD Campaign", I would prefer they'd concentrate on other stuff.
But if it could be built in without too much work, they could use the idea, and maybe improve it.
I would be happy with that.

HA!......nice one Olham
