What is the in game terrain based on?

Is it possible to use the ancient red baron physical map to fly about?

Terrains are based on (modified) CFS3 code, but greatly improved when compared to vintage WoFF and especially so when compared to CFS3 itself. If you mean what actual maps the WoFF terrain is based on -- I will defer to others for info. (I am assuming that various historical maps were used).

I don't recommend using the printed-out RB3D map for flying in WoFF - RB3D was a large "island" world as far as I remember, so the map will not be accurate.

If you want good maps to print out and use with the WoFF series, might I recommend the first several links located at the following link, to excellent maps by RAF_Louvert and other WoFF map specialists. Or, if you prefer, there is also an in-flight map for use in the WoFF series. I'm sure more map specialists will pitch in with other relevant info.

Cheers and welcome to the WoFF series,

~ 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 2nd that. TAF_Louvet's maps are very well made and accurate.

Now with Recon Wars being active and a large part of WOFF:BH&HII, they are a requirement

downloaded the maps, just gotta have time. there is a "copy shop" in town that claims it can print stuff for people. How big are those maps intended to be? Dont mind hitting a pause button and reading a big map.
