Welcome aboard, dear sir! I'm glad someone with real experience over at "the other title" has made the switch. I, too marvel that they have been able to do so much with CFS3. I don't get to fly much, but that's the other great thing about WOFF - this forum! You won't find a better bunch of fliers anywhere I've ever seen on the web. On the little bit that I do get to fly, I don't mess with the exterior view system much, but yes, it's a CFS3 leftover, too, AFAIK. I stay in the cockpit, fly as much as possible without aids, and marvel that in real life these guys could actually fly and navigate in these machines, much less fight. So again, welcome aboard, and Merry Christmas! Oh, and new guy buys the drinks! (That's usually RAF_Louvert's greeting, but I suspect he's busily working on his two new add-ons, writing his annual Christmas WOFF article, making Christmas for his own family, and working - in some order or combination!) - and make mine a Guiness! -and if you wish, check for the pilot maps thread, tell Olham roughly where you live, and he'll add you to the world map of where we all are. -and get RAF-Louvert's maps to fly with. They're also available at the user mod downloads over at www.overflandersfields.com

. Welcome to the WOFF virtual skies Lanzfeld, glad to have you with us! Don't hesitate to ask questions as you go along and always, always watch your six. As HumanDrone has already pointed out the most important bit of information, and as Extra Stout appears to be the drink of the day, a pinta' for yours truly my good man!

Gentlemen, I'm back! I just ordered, downloaded, and installed UE. I had been offline since upgrading to a new machine a while ago when my OFF BH&H didn't make it onto the new computer, mostly due to a Win10 failure of the old Saitek X45 joystick. Plus, new job and other real life interference. So I just relegated the whole WWI flying thing to the dustbin. Well, I've finally gotten everything back in order, with a new Thrustmaster 4 and a Samsung SSD. In the interim, I had been checking in on the OBD website as well as here, and I saw the Christmas sale. Now I'm just trying to get my skills back and I'll be clearing the skies over Flanders in no time. I flew a few missions w/o enemy contact, just to get the feel of it back, and I swear I almost felt that I was there. Well Done, OBD! Much better than previous versions - install was ridiculously simple, even the extra skins and music. I can't wait to see as many of those personalized skins as I can. Now I just have to figure out optimal button mapping for the new HOTAS and knock the dust of the Track IR.
Semper Fi,

Welcome back Jarhead, you are in for a treat with WOFF UE! Also, you'll find your cot just as you left it, unmade and fairly ripe, which is why we dragged it out behind the far hangar, (I said you'd find it just as you left it, not just where you left it).

I've been away from simming for quite awhile (apart from playing Falcon 4 BMS occasionally from time to time) and as such I've never acquired WOFF2 and 3 and as such the release of WOFFUE was an excellent news for me. As such I bought WOFFUE as my "Christmas present" and yes, WOFFUE is amazing (and I still haven't had time to play it much) with lots of new details such as seeing crewmen dying (pilot or gunner). And of course the new DirectX9 effects (such as the new water) are also excellent. Well, off to play WOFF UE

1. Nope not whilst flying, you expecting the CO to fire a flare up for you? 2. Super, then you lead 3. With "in-cloud fog on, as the name suggests when you go in a deep cloud you won't see much - you won't notice a difference until you actually fly into one.

Ok so with respect to the first question...
When I get back to th base the debrief says...." two airplanes took off, two airplanes arrived at the recon area, two planes landed safely "
So does this mean that my Mission was a success and my loiter time was good?
Oh and before I forget.....when I create a new pilot....what does the setting "rookie vs veteran" do?
Thank you good Chaps!
