Of course WOFF is one of the most immersive flight sims ever made but I'm curious of ways to improve it. Particularly in terms of making the AI squad mates more fleshed out. I do know about the pilot personalities profiles by Bletchley. I'm curious see what everyone does.

I make a spreadsheet for the squadron. Each pilot has a page on which I make notes of how old they are, where they are from. I add anything I can find historically about the HAs.

I assign them personality traits on there. HAs can be guided by real life accounts but you're never going to get them for everyone.

Then as time goes on I add to the notes things that have happened involving them.

All this information then informs my writing in the DiD campaign.

OFFice did an excellent job of 'real time' immersion, but it doesn't work with WOFF any more. I'd love it if something like that came out again. In the meantime our imaginations need to fill that gap

Thats cool. I agree that something like OFFice would be great.

One aspect of Office that I sidn't like was the role playing. The pilot log feature on the other hand was wonderful and that part is what I would like to see available in WOFF and WOTR
