I've been playing WOFF for a while now, without any issues, but since upgrading to PE, I occasionally have issues with graphics, and recently my throttle would refuse to work with WOFF - workshop still registers it and allows me to assign the axis it detects to throttle, but it does nothing in-game. I'm currently not using any graphics mods.

Graphics issues:

Basically, half of the water is fine, half is not, and the divide moves alongside.

I'm using mission editor though, is it possible that it may be causing this?

I fixed the throttle but the graphic problem seems permanent now.

EDIT: Some more screenshots of the issue.

The second one shows what water looks like when looking at it from a close distance - water is to the plane's starboard.

How odd, WoFF has MANY problems with graphics, especially with clouds, but I’ve never heard of this.

Support here isn’t great, try contacting the dev through official channels maybe? Devs are active here but don’t respond often.

Flickering clouds have been an issue for a long time, but I’d never seen that. I figured that forum is likely to be faster than official support, but if no one helps me here, I’ll definitely message them.

Yes, it may be problem of using ME -if you choose using BT mod. It is WOFF UE compatible only. Just skip it or choose WOFF vanilla version and everything should be OK.

Also worth a try is Panama Red's BT tweak that was updated specifically for WOFF PE (available on Sandbagger's site), or my WOFF GPU Tuner patch (linked to in my sig. file below and compatible with UE and PE vers. of WOFF). Hope you get your graphics oddities sorted out.

~ For my various FM/AI/FPS/DM Mods. for First Eagles 2, WoFF, RoF & WoTR, and tips for FlightGear, recommended is to check over my CombatAce profile (https://combatace.com/profile/86760-vons/) and to click on the "About Me" tab while there. ~

I tried your GPU Tuner patch but it didn't solve my problem, unfortunately.

I don't have any mods active at the moment. I tried your GPU Tuner patch, but it didn't fix the issue. I'd try Panama Red's tweak, but the one I see here: http://www.thatoneplease.co/effectsWOFF.html is for UE, and I have PE.

I have had outstanding support when doing as recommended in the FAQ Guide at p. 66. Email support <AT> overflandersfields.com with the information as recommended.

Hopefully Panama Red will pitch in with more info. - I think that may be the PE-compatible BT mod that is on Sandbagger's site, even though it says UE-only. Hope you can fix those graphics issues soon.

Probably best to do a full clean install (as mods have been installed previously). Then at least we'd have a base to work from we cannot help with modded or previously installed mods.
Never seen rain like that in WOFF so something is screwy for sure. Make sure it's using your NVIDIA/ATI card.

FAA_Fan for a very small team we do plenty of support in the forum over the last decade thanks, and email. However, it's harder to do support here as we normally want to verify customers which requires order reference, and need various logs files and system data and it's a bad place to post all that here of course.

Have your email Ekaton, will look through but this seems to be a laptop or dual GPU system for a start - so it could be using the Intel GPU (bad). Laptops can have issues that are covered in the FAQ.
The system spec is low.

I'm not using the GPU card, and I've never had problems with WOFF whatsoever. FPS has always been very stable and very high.

I don't have the original setup file for UE as my external disk failed a while ago, but the only mod that could have broken anything is the one by PanamaRed or perhaps the Mission Editor which at the end of the process asks you which BTS mod you have, and as I noticed, it has some files it may use to replace the originals with. Would someone be so kind as to send me the original shaders30 and composite budgets from the terrains folder? These are the only files that could have been replaced and restoring originals might help if JSGME did a poor job.

I originally only had a problem with campaign missions using the mission editor, so perhaps that's a clue?

Sandbagger apparently deleted my BT PE version, so I'm going to have to ask him why ???

But here it is in the first post in this thread: PE Blue triangle anf FPS improvement mod


CPU = i9 11900K
GPU = RTX 3080 Ti
Monitor = ASUS ROG Swift PG32UQX 2160p G-sync

I am pretty sure the problem is caused by UE version of PR's BT mod included in WOFF Mission Editor. Just install/enable PE version of BT mod and do not use BT mod inside of ME. Just click "Skip" button when asked.

Installing the PE version didn't fix the issue I'm afraid. I suppose that the Sandbagger's site's version broke something outside the files it replaced, probably shaders. Could someone send me default shaders, as I no longer have the installation file?

I spoke with Ankor and he suggested shaders30 folder broken by mods too. I have sent a copy of the folder to you.
