Javito1986 reporting in.

It's absolutely weird how time goes by without your noticing. I last played WOFF in September '14, but then set it down (and gaming of all kinds) as real life started taking up more and more of my time. Then around March I got to thinking about returning to the unfriendly skies, but I also ratcheted up my work duties (voluntarily) and took on a number of new projects that have been keeping me quite busy right to the present day.

So... yea I don't know to what extent I'll actually start -flying- again right now, although I would certainly like to reinstall and do at least a mission a week at minimum. Just browsing the forums tells me how many changes there's been since I last played, which is great!

I miss coming to the forums and chatting up with you guys though. How's everyone? Everyone still here? Anyone go missing? Anything I should know? Has Lou made new amazing WW1 acquisitions? Has Olham finally abandoned the inferior Albatros a good ol' Tripe, superior in every way?

Cheers!

Javito;

Good to hear from you!

Olham give up his Alb for a Tripe!! You must be kidding biggrin

Lou has come up with two new aerodrome mods for Boistrancourt and Bray Dunes. They are amazing and you will find picks and vids of them here if you check around.

Woff upgrades are also amazing. Just view some of the vids.

Hope you get time to try it out.

Best Regards

Ha. The #%&*$# actually started on fire in March if you can believe that. It happened after routine cleaning, I must have messed something up because the motherboard burned when I tried to start it up. So that was a lot of fun. Since I need her for work I ended up 1-day shipping a new MoBo/PSU/RAM and rebuilding, she's been good as new ever since.

And holy smokes those aerodrome mods are nice. Lou's always made such wonderful contributions to this community.

Now there's something I hope I never face - a flaming computer!

I will join the others in welcoming you back. I post here more than I fly! I think you can sympathize - real life & all that. But as you can see, WOFF has just become better and better. It's great just to fly for the "eye candy".

Uh... why Moya? I'm not in on that one.

It's a sci-fi reference; Moya was the name of the living ship in Farscape. I was very much into Farscape when I built my PC in '11.

And I can definitely understand the lack of time. But even if I'm not actively flying, I'm finding a lot of vicarious WOFF enjoyment just reading the stories posted here.

Thanks! I agree, the forum is a great way to slip in some WOFF enjoyment even though actual flying can be "problematic." We have some great aviators, video producers, and writers here!
