Been in Ypres and Vimy Ridge today, what an amazing place to be. Wondering how that ridge looked in WOFF, will need to check once I`m back at home.

Thanks devs for all the hard work.

I had tour of Verdun and Fort Duamont (spelling?). It was a bit creepy to actually see the now smooth and green shell holes (must of been millions). But standing there it made me appreciate even more that most need work put in by those early pilots.

French countryside
The ground still has scars of the WWI, specially in places where no culture stand, like forests. Very impressive in some cases.

Fort de Douaumont and Fort de Vaux are interesting places to visit. But the Douaumont Ossuary had a strange and powerfull feeling on my mind when i visited it when i was something like 14yo.
