We are pleased to announce the next major release of WOFF will be called:


WINGS OVER FLANDERS FIELDS
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL II

I believe it was RAF_Louvert who suggested re-using BH&H so a free copy will be winging it's way when it's released.

Congratulations @Lou!!
A good name has won.

And sorry for my stupid question: Why "II"? What was the first one (I only know the title from a song)?

Greetings!

IIRC, the third iteration of OFF (which was itself a prior version of what is WOFF today) was called "Between Heaven and Hell" (BHAH). As memory serves, Phase III / BHAH was the final edition of OFF before the name was changed to WOFF.

Wow ... I don't know what to say, I didn't imagine I'd win with so many other fine titles being considered ... I have nothing prepared. Let's see - I'd like to thank the Academy - and OBD obviously for this fine sim - my parents of course, as I wouldn't have been possible without their help - God - and Mr. Phillips my next door neighbor when I was growing up, who taught me the importance of ... wait ... what ... they're playing me off already? ok ok - thank you everyone, and, and - you like me, you really really like me!

Great choice and nice work with the logo. Congratulations RAF_Louvert (nice speech BTW -- very fitting). Still hoping for a pre-Valentine's Day release (that's 2 weeks off, isn't it?). My Christmas gift card on stand by.

Never was a more deserving fellow more suitably rewarded. 'Grats Lou. Nice acceptance speech... not nearly enough blubbing though, you need to channel your inner Halle Berry :-)


Oh that I was back in the dear old PBI.
With no more Triplanes on me tail, nor tracer tracing by.
And no more flames and clickerty-clack and no more blooming sky,
And only a couple of feet to fall whenever I want to die.

So, now that we know the new name of the next incarnation of our beloved sim how about revealing those new aeroplanes that will be included with it? You don’t have to do it all at once. One at a time for greater effect will be just fine. How about it, hmm? Hmmm?

Congrats Lou.

Not sure a comp was needed for that change though. Feels you thought your title from back then can't be beaten so thank god some one but 2 after it. Most of the title isn't created by the player\s.

Lou is a good choice for winner though.

Now I hope this means we are very close to release now we have a title!

Well a comp wasn't 'needed' but it did bring forth the final choice. Also was needed for some fun.

I always thought Between Heaven and Hell was a great title and it takes me back to the good old pre-covid days. A nostalgia trip to the days when Pol could acquire pills to keep working and the excitement was never ending. Perhaps it should be slightly changed to "Between Heaven and Hell Mark II" as an in-house and slightly cunning dedication to the two Marks involved in producing this major achievement.
