Not like the old days at Combat Ace.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.

Just playing away and waiting for the next expansion or patch.
Said it before here: WOFF is pretty much perfect in my eyes and any game issues that I may have (and I have them)I have beat to death here.
Been playing OFF/WOFF for years....

At this moment there are 2 on OFF, 21 on WOFF and 8 on ROF. But it is early morning the US and Canada - 10 am here.
A while back I saw 40 on WOFF but not everybody posts

I am being kept so busy right now that there are days at a stretch when I can do nothing more than stop by here for a minute just to see what's new. Don't have time to post anything more than a quick note in one or two topics. Today is yet another such day as I head out the door for work in the next five minutes and won't be home until very late this evening. And what's really the kicker is that I am just about to enter the traditionally busy time of year for me.

NOTE: Yesterday I actually had about 30 minutes to just sit and read and managed to get caught up with everyone's latest adventures over in the DiD Centenary Challenge thread. What a treat! I am hoping I can do the same this weekend sometime with Olham's DID Challenge thread as well.

Work keeps me pretty busy these days but I lurk in the forum at least once or twice a day.

RL has been keeping me busy lately. I've looked in on here every day, but not had time to write. And only a few flights too frown.

I've been working like a madman as of late, and my rig is collecting dust. Hope to be back in it soon. I sure do miss it.


I got fired as the door man at a sperm bank.
Apparently it's in poor taste to tell leaving customers "Thanks for coming."

This is my first time to get on the WOFF sight in weeks! My situation with a wimpy Verizon MIFI is just so bad I am
very unhappy with the whole internet gig. I have tried several solutions and am tired of throwing $$$$ at it
with no improvement. I can log on to other web sites with ease but WOFF is a once ever so often. Bummer!!

The last "paid" down load that worked was a long time ago and with luck I got it on the 5th try.
I have tried to get 2.12 for several weeks with out success.

SO TO THE POINT, I need a friend who is willing to copy 2.12 and send me the disk. I will be happy to pay in advance for all involved cost! This friend MUST be one of the folks who has "credibilty" from a long line of post and being one of the "good folks".

IN the past I have said I would pay alot for the upgrades on a disk from POL & Co. --- so far no luck.
I have $$$$$ so what is the issue.

When I leave Colorado in late Qct. and go back to Arizona, where the MIFI reception is some what better
This may all be moot.
SO, who is willing to help --- and most likley lives in North America?

I don't usually post very often.

Just quietly relish flying.

I was very busy over the last 3 weeks working on a bedroom and two bathroom updates.

I have just started a parallel career following the most highly awarded Canadian, William George Barker.

I am still also reading Barker VC by Wayne Ralph.

I have flown three missions with RFC 9 during the Fokker Scourge.

Then later on to RFC 4, 15, and 28.

Barker's first flight was on March 6,1916 as an observer for the Corp Cooperation support and that date is accurately reflected in WOFF.

What a historical masterpiece is WOFF.

So many great games to play unfortunately smile
I have days where I fire into a game and it keeps me enthralled for weeks.
I fire up WoFF after an update etc to make sure its all ok and play a few missions...
No doubt I'll get the call again and feel the need to immerse myself for a few weeks... it kind of goes in cycles like that for me.

Tango said it........still here enjoying WOFF...just not posting a lot. I guess the Challenges, the generous lashings of updates, and the shadowing/horizon breakthrus had us all revved up. But you're right....it's quiet......too quiet!! ...rumble of ominous music...

Hi Robert and fellow pilots (observers too!)

I'm reading that book for the second time and it is even better the second time through.

I became a landed immigrant from Washington state in April of 2011.

I have been catching up on Canadian history especially World War I and II.

Exciting to relive some of it in WOFF!

And I am using your greatly appreciated backup program all the time.

Best regards,

Tango

Or the older Simouthouse days!!!

Not a regular poster, only keep a close eye on this forum, but I must admit I'm not a huge fan of the SimHQ forums. In the past I have received lots of problems regarding: browser compatibility, after login still the "your not logged in" message when posting, no connection or a verrrrrrry slooooow one. Now a half year later it seems this has been fixed, so lets hope.

edit: and I have a new job, so not much RoF/WoFF/Clod/Bos any more.

Coming back from holidays. Spain is so sunny and warm it sometimes takes some time to get used to be at home early wink Flying this marvellous sim as often as I can. Reading the forum almost everyday. Feeling fortunate to have this amazing piece of software waiting for me, a cup of wine, silence at home, adjusting my Trackir hat, here we go,...

WOFF is amazing isn't it?
Wish OBD had a $10,000,000.00 budget so they could devote full time to cranking out more WOFF goodness.
Love this sim but on a more serious note is it red or white with WOFF?
