Hello,
I've not played WOFF in a few years so just tryin to get back into the swing of things.
1. the bristol scout has a level flying top speed of 100mph yet when i use the auto level flight option or even fly level manually i cant seem to get the crate much faster that 80mph how do i get it flyin faster? Auto mixture is on auto.
2. Is there any way to amend some of my squadron mates names just for fun?
3. How do i increase ingame resolution higher that 1920x1080?

@OP, optimistic top speed near SL on the C variant of Bristol Scout is about 94-5 mph (151-2 kph). The D variant with a 100 hp rotary may have had a top speed near 160 kph (100 mph). The C type (80 hp) is most likely modeled in WOFF. The earlier A/B variants may have been even slower (high 140s kph or so, 91-2 mph). If you like experimenting with FMs, you might wish to give the alternate FM a whirl for the Bristol Type C - available in the ver. 6.0 pack of my FM tweaks for WOFF - over at this link (also see the small ver. 6.5 addon immediately below that post and that tweaks the Fokk. Dr.1 variants further): https://combatace.com/forums/topic/92320-fm-tweaks-for-woffuepe/?tab=comments#comment-768452Top speed near SL on my Bristol tweak is around 152 kph - climb rate a wee bit better than on the stock variant - you might want to check out how it behaves with the auto-level flight option enabled (keep in mind that some of the auto-pilot settings in WOFF drop the throttle to about 3/4s, depending on what the auto-pilot is doing, so this may also result in lower speeds if not flying manually - haven't really ever tinkered with autopilot settings so I can't offer much insight there).

How are we meant to be aim with the bristol scout? There is no aiming point which i get because some planes didnt have them but i dont see any tracer fire as a guide. General (historical) rule of thumb - no tracer rounds in use until about late 1916/early 1917 - although there are tracer mods. available for WOFF (I believe JJJ did some tracer mod. packs a while back) - those may be installed via JSGME and used as per taste. To view the "aiming point" on the Bristol Scout, recommended is the "F6" key if you also use padlock view to lock onto a target (lock on to target and then select "F6") - if in padlock view but not using F6 - be about 20 meters back of your target and about 20-25 degrees to its right - before firing. Takes some practice but the Bristol is then entertaining, also very good for deflating observation balloons in diagonal attacks (some left rudder and wallow around the balloon, but don't stall).

some of us use dual monitors and load the map on the second screen with graphics editor program. start woff, then skip to your second monitor, add your routing info, and when the mission is finished, scrap the edited image rather than saving it.
Just my suggestion. Others may have a different approach.

If you're talking about Louvert's maps, I have them on a 10" tablet that's just below my monitor.
SALUTE TO ALL!

If you're talking about Louvert's maps, I have them on a 10" tablet that's just below my monitor. That's fine and if you have a graphics editor program you can draw your routes on the map. Does that work for you?

My next step is using external maps to navigate manually. I've downloaded the maps from the site and my idea was to generate a mission and then draw the waypoints onto the downloaded map and transfer it to my ipad but the process is tedious. ROF is much better in that regard although WOFF is better with pretty much everything else.
How do other virtual pilots go about this task? I print the area of the map that I think will cover my expected missions. I physically print it onto a regular sheet of paper and then slip it into one of those see-through plastic protectors/covers. Then I can draw on it with dry erase marker and simply wipe clean after mission, ready to start again.

Does that work for you? I edit the map using paint or something then transfer it to ipad it works well enough. Except when the weather is pants and i cant see #%&*$# from 3000 feet lol

Hi, Tony. Welcome to WOFF!
You do not need to do anything if you are using the historical weather setting. The game will automatically read a file (OFFHistoricalWeather.xml) that will load weather similar to the historical weather for that day.
Cheers!
