NEWS FLASH! 1 FEB 2023 :

WINGS OVER THE REICH EXPANSION BATTLE OF FRANCE - OUT NOW!

At last the long awaited new phase to WINGS OVER THE REICH has been released!
This new add-on to ‘WOTR’ expands it to cover the fast-paced Battle of France period, just prior to the Battle of Britain.

[Linked Image]

Take part in a new whirlwind dynamic campaign as the Germans invade France bursting through the Ardennes Forest, taking the Allies completely by surprise.

OBD has designed an incredibly unique campaign system for the fast-paced dynamic blitzkrieg war - never seen before at this level in any combat flight simulator.

In a matter of weeks in the summer of 1940, the Germans push through the Ardennes and following along the Somme valley, effectively cutting the French forces in two, and isolate the remnants of the BEF and French 1st Armies in Dunkirk.

Fly for Germany, Britain or France in this Dynamic Campaign system, specially designed to deliver the excitement of the rapid and ever-changing Battle of France!
With exciting additional features such as assisting the evacuation of Dunkirk, in Spitfire squadrons based in England.

In many squadrons - British or German - you can continue through BoF seamlessly into BoB - it's one war!

New Scenery including new airfields, new grass at airfields, new Dunkirk area with famous harbour with landmarks such as the Mole and the Lighthouse.

New Flyable Aircraft such as the Curtiss Hawk 75-A2, BF109E3 and more,
New AI Aircraft, such as the Bloch MB152, Morane MS406, Potez 63.11

New ground objects and vehicles.

With many other new and improved areas, it’s a must-have for WOTR fans.

Please visit the WOTR website for more information or to purchase

Absolutely wonderful news! Will purchase asap!

Any chance of some skin templates for the new aircraft? I'd love to make a whole batch for the cannon Spitfire (it can masquerade very well as a Mk Vb) and the P-36.

Lythronax - you can use the MKIa template. If Robert Wiggins is around he may have a template you can use. Damage textures need to match too etc.

Well, Pol, it's bought and paid for, as I always do ASAP when you guys expand either WOTR or WOFF. Just say your prayers that somehow I'll figure out what being retired means and get some time to get back in the virtual skies. I gotta build a new box and reprogram my controllers for some of the newer keystrokes.

You guys are the best!


Box: Win7 Pro 64 bit / I72600K @4.1 GHz / EVGA GTX1080Ti/ 16GB RAM / Corsair 240 GB SSD / WD 600 GB Velociraptor / 1050W Power
FS Stuff: Saitek X52 Pro Stick/Throttle & Combat Rudder Pedals, TrackIR 5
Sims: FSX Gold, REX 2.0 OD, UTX-NA, FSGenesis 10m mesh/ CFS3 ETO 1.40/Wings Over Flanders Fields BH&H2 (more gorgeous than ever!)

This is great news, thanks OBD.

Now all I need is the mullah to buy it with. sigh


"A great deal of an aeroplane could be holed without affecting its ability to fly. Wings and fuselage could be—and often were—pierced in 50 places, missing the occupants by inches (blissfully unaware of how close it had come until they returned to base). Then the sailmaker would carefully cover each hole with a square inch of Irish linen frayed at the edges and with a brushful of dope make our aircraft 'serviceable' again within an hour."

This is a really nice upgrade, I had stopped flying WOTR because the ground graphics were kind of bland compaired to the new versions of WOFF, but now they are in WOTR and it looks great!

I also wanted to compliment Mark on helping me with my loading problems in Windows 11, he answered quickly and solved my problem which was the game would load but not allow me to fly because my outcome file wasn't there. So, if you have the same problem, it may be Windows Defender, and of course Windows doesn't make it easy to find. Anyhoo, go to Windows Security on the Settings Page, then go to Virus and Threat Protection, open Protection History, and you will get a list of things it has blocked, of course it won't tell you what it blocked, it just says a folder was blocked. You then have to click on that, jump through the hoop that say you need to allow the App to change the device and then you will see that walla, it doesn't like cfs.exe, hit allow and then you are good to go.

Congratulations!

My only hesitation in purchase is framerate. WOTR has always performed quite a bit worse than WOFF on my system. Does the new DLC offer any optimization in that department? Or is the framerate pretty much equivalent to WOTR (or worse)?

Thanks for any replies and info on this matter and best wishes to all!

Hi folks. Thanks for the expansion. A question. Can I still use vonS FM tweaks?

Can't comment on Mods sorry. There are of course several changes in several places in various files, so I would stay away from that until it's confirmed by the mod author.
