Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 09/15/16 07:06 PM

Good job, guys!

The VERT GALAND drome should definitely have the 'Verts Galand farm' buildings at the distinct junction,
to make it complete. And it seems there were never many trees in that area.
If you go into GoogleStreetview, you can see them from close on.

I plan on making this very announcement to my wife when UE comes out. The resultant facial trauma should be enough to keep me out of work for at least a week. The double vision should simulate being a rookie pilot nicely.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 09/16/16 12:26 PM

No pressure, but I do have Nov 19th through Nov 27th scheduled off as a vacation. That will be my first real vacation since November 2011 (when Skyrim came out), so if you wanted to release it during that time frame I'm just letting you know that you would have my full support. LOL.

and yes, it has actually been 5 years since I took any time off for myself. I had a lot of crap in my life that needed to be fixed and I had a laser like focus on making that happen as fast as possible. Now that the house is fixed, the debt completely gone, the book is written and published, the job income is up and I'm in a happy, healthy relationship - I'm taking some damn time off to enjoy a little bit of life! WOFF UE would just be the icing on the cake. biggrin

WOFF UE for short.


The one being bombed here is St Omer, which also shows new winter Trees for several states of Winter, including snow etc.

The answers to these and other exciting questions will be answered before OBD asks for our money.

Other questions I'm excited to find out the answer to but we will all have to wait for are:

How many airfields will be redone to be reflect a more historically accurate layout?

Will the newly redone trees - in addition to their awesome winter versions - somehow also eat fewer FPS?

How many years will I have to fly WOFF UE before I see it all or is that even possible?

That's easy. The meaning of life is made up of the 3 fundamentals of life: WOFF, Women & Wine.

Those 3 things are so integral to the meaning of life that when you are searching on the internet, everything you look for is preceded by www, because obviously WOFF, Women & Wine always come first. Everything else is secondary.

WoW, excellent screenshots (and excellent work) there!

I do have one question:
Will we have a flyable Handley-Page O/400 in WOFF UE?

(It would be cool to have one since it would give the Allies a heavy WWI bomber - remember the Germans already have the Gotha heavy bomber)

With the "insane" amount of time that you'll spend playing WOFF UE you won't even have time to mess your home or to eat so in this regard I would say that WOFF UE solves your problem biggrin

Looks like my last post was deleted in the great SimHQ crash of 2016. I thought you might enjoy some screenshots of some of the new planes and airfields of Wings Over Flanders Fields Ultimate Edition - beta. IMHO, after even only a few flight so far, I can say in short that WOFF has never had a better or brighter future than it does right now.

.

I know that one of the new features in UE is the 70 aerodromes you will be able to operate from in England instead of just the original dozen or so currently in WOFF. smile
A bit more diversity in the generic dromes there as well, and even one or two individually specific camps such as Great Yarmouth Air Station.

It's not my place to steal the devs thunder with specifics, but I will say this:

The French aren't just getting two new planes and they are done. They are going to be integrated into the war better than ever before.

The airfields have received a lot of attention to detail. Not just new airfields as Louvert pointed out and more than just the layouts of existing ones, but in some cases what types of planes you'll see deployed there and how things change over time. Some important airfields will be easily distinguishable from the rest. Coming home after a long mission - day or night - will be more gratifying. Overall, the airfields have been brought to life and it's hard to imagine just how much this adds to the immersion of WOFF UE over 3. Even the feel of landing at one has been revamped depending on varying conditions. You will probably never want to use 'Air Start' option again unless you are really pressed for time.

Installation has been streamlined and improved. I'm sure the devs will layout the details when it gets closer to release. - No, I have no idea when that will be.

There are new options in the Workshop. Some will help folks with more modest GPUs in certain conditions while others extend the functionality beyond just what is programmed into WOFF Ultimate Edition itself. It's up to the devs to let you know what that is.

Some sounds have been greatly improved, including the Allies Vickers machine gun which is much more satisfying to fire. I could never go back to the older sound after flying UE.

Just when I thought development for WOFF was winding down and coming to the end of it's life, the devs have decided not just to give it an extension but really a sort of re-birth. It's all very much an unexpected gift.
Posted By: Raine

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/02/16 05:33 PM

Hellshade, this is wonderful news, absolutely wonderful. The integration of Lou's British fields will be tremendous, and I'm intrigued by what you've said about the French. More than ever I'm hoping for "England" to appear as a selection when requesting transfers so that we'll be able to transfer RFC pilots to Home Establishment and enjoy more of this delicious buffet.

Thank you, devs. As anxious as I am, I hope you take all the time you need. This chapter of the continuing project is amazing and can't be rushed. Three cheers for the WOFF team and testers!!!

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/02/16 10:03 PM

Jasta 9 patrol 21 May 1917. I look behind and 3 of my flight have turned 160+ degrees and are flying back the way we came. A trail of smoke way in the distance up above shows me a Sopwith Triplane is limping back home. I wheel about and try to find if there are any others. I did find one and he was quite good. Made damn fools of at least 5 of my flight and myself until he finally had to turn and head for home. I don't know if I was able to land a single round into him. He was a better pilot in a superior plane. If I had not had so many wingmen for him to contend with, he probably would have gotten the better of me. At any rate, when he was finished toying with us he slipped away with a nice move that put him well out in front. We gave chase but were never able to make up the difference, despite all of us following suit.

Looking behind, I spotted another tripehound in tow behind everyone in my flight. We focused on the first tripe, he figured he sneak in and take some of us out before we even knew what happened. I quickly positioned myself to engage him and he was not so clever as his friend. He too had a better machine but he was not that better pilot. At least not this day. Not sure if it's an intended change or not but if you watch to the very end, it looks like OBD is now modeling broken flight harnesses. He was my enemy and a brave and noble one at that but my heart sank to see him left to that fate...

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/02/16 10:57 PM

Jasta 9 Patrol 23 May 1917 - We get tasked with intercepting incoming observer aircraft. A pair of Caudron G.4s(!) who quickly turned and headed back for their lines. They were too slow to react to the danger though and soon enough, we caught up with them. I made boom & zoom attacks while my wingmen closed in from directly behind, splitting their return fire between us. Again, I witnessed two men jump to their deaths from their craft. Still turns my stomach just to think about it. Man I love this sim!

WOFF UE beta. Jasta 9 Campaign

We get tasked to intercept inbound Allied Recon aircraft. We get up to altitude and head towards where they were spotted. Sure enough, we see 4 aircraft and as I look closer I can see they are Caudron G.4s flying in formation. The last engagement with G.4s went exceptionally well, so my confidence is high that once we catch them, we will make short work of them.

But WOFF UE and the war had other ideas. Every bit of what happened next is why I love this sim. Right down to the surprise ending.

\

That Spad pilot flew his plane to it's strengths: kept his speed up, maintained altitude advantage, attacked from behind and chose when to engage. Sometimes luck is better than skill and Fate is fickle.

Looks like a damn oil painting, doesn't it? That's pure WOFF Ultimate Edition. No mods. No SweetFX.



WOFF UE beta Jasta 9 24 May 1917. Second sortie of the day has me making a rare patrol behind enemy lines. I'm tilting my wings left and right as usual to see if anything is below me. Nothing. I look back at my flight and notice one of my sheep has fallen a bit behind. Wait....that's too many sheep. I turn to engage. Ironically the moment I finished dispatching him, his burning wreck falls right next to low altitude Sopwith Strutter. Had the Noop not been killed exactly when and where he was, I probably never would have seen him. Bad luck for his friend turned out to be bad luck for him too.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/04/16 08:22 PM

Just arrived back at the aerodrome at Lemmes in a camion after a sightseeing tour. Unfortunately, my machine is still languishing just our side of the lines near Verdun. I was out on a general observation of the lines, trying to determine where we were, and where they were. The first thing that drew my attention was the flashes of a terrific bombardment, and came down out of the clouds to find one of our forts getting pounded. A little further off, I saw a convoy moving along the road, and went to investigate. As I drew closer, shells erupted all along the road and on the convoy. And it was at that moment that I heard the unmistakable sounds of my aircraft being hit by small arms fire from the ground. I turned for the lines, but the damage had been done, and it was all I could do to make it to our side.

I'm excited for you to fly it too and look forward to your thoughts on it. I think you will be very happy, sir.

I'd just like to add that having been given the opportunity to play even the smallest part (mere feedback and observations - really just ringside seats) in the development process of WOFF UE, I'd like to offer some very high praise to Polovski, Winding Man and AnKor even though they aren't asking for it. These guys put in a tremendous amount of work testing every little aspect that they can in order to deliver the best possible finished product. I finally have had the opportunity to witness it as it happens and it's incredibly impressive to watch their commitment to excellence in action. Bugs reported. Bugs quashed. New features added. Old features improved. Developer beta patch updates on a nearly daily basis. And as we all know from experience, it doesn't stop there. Even after the product ships, they are busy patching bugs and adding / improving features.

Of course there's no way UE could contain all of the items on the Wish List but what they are including is incredibly well thought out and implemented. Even though the WWI flight sim market is small and doesn't have any other products being actively developed anymore, these guys don't rest on their laurels. They keep pushing and expanding the limits of what's possible. We are really lucky to have them and while WOFF UE can never be all things to everybody, I wouldn't want any other group of people working to improve it than these guys.

Pol,

I just can't say how excited I am about the Caudron G.4 and Breguet 14. The G.4 looks just beautiful, guys! And if its ever been done in a WWI game in the past I missed it, so I can't wait for this one thumbsup

And the huge impact these two planes will have on the campaign...a French 2-seater campaign to run the length of the war! whoohoo

All the regulars here at the forum already know this, but for those reading this who still don't own WOFF, it is the most comprehensive WWI combat flight simulator ever created, and on the same breadth and depth as IL-2 1946, but of course with modern graphics (it has many "looks like a photograph or movie-clip" moments). WOFF 3 has better looking weather than FSX, P3D, or X-Plane IMO. WOFF 3 weather and atmospheric conditions are simply gorgeous.

If you buy one combat flight simulator in your life, WOFF 3 or the upcoming WOFF UE is the one to have. WOFF combines atmosphere, depth, breadth, and an engrossing career light years beyond anything that has ever preceded it.

WOFF stands alone with IL-2 1946 as the pinnacle of WWI and WWII combat flight simulators. It is that good, and better!

French Breguet 14 career. Swarmed by multiple Albs I manage to fight them off and they all finally give up and head home. No kills for me but at least I lived.







Until out of nowhere, this guy shows up, killing my gunner and wounding me in his first burst. I lived but it reminded me to never get comfortable and feel safe...even on a low level flight back to the airfield. I was hospitalized for a few days but I feel like I let my back seat gunner down. If I hadn't gotten too confident in my escape, I would have noticed I had company and been able to try and throw off his aim.

Do not mind. If not, I have prepared mod that can change that behaviour. I just did not solve an installation method yet, because JSGME version can overwrite any previous modding of "effects.xml" file (e.g. tracer mods, ...). To avoid this problem, I will have to either code it as a separate executable file or make several versions of JSGME mods including any other effects mods.

They are indeed fiddling with it. I don't know what the final outcome will be but some of the beta patches to it have been nice improvements, IMHO. Of course if you happen to hit the fuel tank and it goes up, 20 liters of aviation fuel exploding is going to have a devastating effect on a mostly wooden structure but yes, I believe they are working on reducing the frequency of all 4 wings being shed.

I'm no expert at WWI damage. But I'm fairly sure that when you hit a gas tank with a round, the contents of the tank doesn't explode.

There's an old saying in aviation, "Fuel burns, fumes explode". It's why wings on fire don't generally explode; they just burn until the structure fails.

Now a hot round, especially an incendiary round, could ignite the fumes in a non-full gas tank with pretty devastating effect. But most of the gas itself won't explode, or even burn until it is "spread out" so that it has access to oxygen.

I suspect (though I don't know) that most flamers were holed tanks that covered the wood and doped fabric structure of the aircraft with a layer of fuel and were then ignited...by something. After that the plane went up like a torch.

Sorry for the aside, but just something to consider. smile

Really looking forward to this!

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/08/16 02:24 AM

We met some Brisfits. Started high and I landed quite a few rounds into him but his rear gunner was giving as good as he got. I gotta hand it to the pilot too because he threw his craft all over the sky trying to shake me off him. Many times he did but I was able to re-gain my position with a well placed barrel roll or high yo-yo. The fight kept losing altitude until we were dog fighting at tree top level near a church. Just as I put the killing rounds into his machine and he lost control, pitching into a row of trees, his gunner shredded my upper right wing. I managed to limp back to the airfield in the background.

The rear gunner is what shredded my wings. That wasn't dive damage. It was too many bullet rounds to the wing that did it. You will notice how I was at tree top level in the last bunch of pics. The rear gunner hit me with a final burst just before he crashed. No dive damage at all.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/08/16 03:11 PM

Encounters with RNAS-1 in tripes and then RNAS-2 in DH4s. Yes, I shot off his center right wing and it turned out to be fatal for him. You don't have to clip all of their wings. Sometimes just one does the trick.






Posted By: Hellshade

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/08/16 04:42 PM

Early war still looks fantastic too. After my wingman downed the Aviatik, a pair of EIIs(?) pounced us. I eventually forced his prop to stop and he dead stick landed behind his lines. Look at how alive the scenery looks with the new shaders too. Awesome stuff.

I would like to make an important point about the new UE shaders though. I have mentioned the nice FPS improvement the new shaders provide and they do, but I should also point out that while they will give you a boost they aren't going to turn a 3 year old GPU into SLI Titan level performance. You will probably notice the added FPS, especially around airfields, but I wish to be careful and honest about not setting the wrong expectation. The last thing I want is someone thinking if they buy WOFF UE they will be able to run everything maxed at 8x time compression with an aging CPU/GPU at 60 FPS. It's most certainly an improvement, but I don't wish to overstate by how much. As with everything PC related, your mileage may vary depending on your hardware and software configuration.

Some early war campaign fun. Spotted white Archie puffs well below us on a behind friendly lines patrol. Once we got low enough to investigate we spotted a trio of EIIs. After that engagement we went back up to altitude and found a pair of Aviatiks scouting around. We chased them all the way back to behind their lines before caught up to them and engaged. What a great sim.

Posted By: Hellshade

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/08/16 06:10 PM

Scenery looks amazing with the varied trees and the colors and hues providing a wonderful feeling of depth. I think I killed the pilot and took out the wing on the Aviatik. Either way, I'm sure neither of them survived the spiral intro the ground from that altitude.

Affirmative. All of my screenshots are without mods or SweetFX sir.

Early morning patrol. Emergency landing at another airfield after being wounded and controls damaged. The field itself had apparently suffered bomb damage recently.

UE really is a joy to behold, and it runs amazingly well even with everything max'd out. AnKor's new shaders are magic.

Thanks but can you explain please what reducement on CPU load you have now running the UE.
Posted By: RAF_Louvert

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/09/16 07:46 PM

dutch, I couldn't tell you for sure how much the load on the CPU has been reduced in UE compared to the current WOFF as I've never benchmarked that figure in WOFF. I believe AnKor could give you a better idea about that. It was noted earlier that his newest shaders have shifted some of the work that was done in the past by the CPU over to the GPU but I couldn't tell you how much of a shift that is.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/10/16 10:35 PM

Excuse me, but why do I give a diddly-bleep if WOFF is on steam? I've got a steam account and use it for CivV, but I don't understand why it would be of any help with WOFF. I've had no issues with WOFF through the years, works for me as is. I thought it was said once and for all that if WOFF needs CFS3 there is no way to make it available through steam. But what do I know, I'm sure Hellshade is right, absolutely confirm that there's no confirmation.
Yeh, great new shots Hellshade, looks to me that environmentally WOFF has again taken another step upwards. The atmosphere is becoming more and more spectacular, that and new aircraft just keep WOFF way above other sims. I will always be intrigued just because of the simplicity of the planes, you're just flying, no tech stuff to get in the way. I know lots of us are old f***s, I saw those photos of you guys at the air show, and I think we can just appreciate it since most of our lives weren't so tech-ed up. Well, that's just me I guess. I'll take a restored '63 Corvette over a 2016 anyday.
I always want to close every post that I make with how much the devs rock! Great work fellas!

Im hoping in 2 versions JimBob. An all in one installer (for people new and or are more comfortable with an all in one installer) and a Add-On for people like me who have all the addons now.
OBD are a fantastic company the Devs are the best in the business but...Some people including myself have already paid a lot of money for WOFF V1 2 and 3 + the skin pack (before it was free) when you addon the Fokker Scourge,Balance of Power and Motley crew it comes to quite a bit. Also add to the fact that the is extremely poor against the $ post Brexit and us folks in blighty are at the moment getting a rough deal. I would like to add that i dont regret spending what i already have in this great sim that OBD have blessed us with. Anyway sorry to go OT id love some more WOFF UE shots guys. cheers

There are some people that do because it's easier to acquire the game. I know this is a niche of a niche but this Avangate reseller has limited number of payment options. Gog / steam are modern distribution platforms with modern payment options.
Not everyone pays with credit card via internet and gog / steam allows to pay without them.
There are plenty of people who would gladly pay and buy this game, but this Avangate only allows credit card.

Also there is other factor that your download links will not dissapear in case you will loose your dvd.
If this game had more payment options available, i'm sure more people would buy it.

It's just about making life easier for everybody, everyone wins, devs because more people buy the game and people because it's easier to get it.

You have to treat JimBobb like a troll. He have been given the same answer multiple times about why WOFF will not be Steam, but he keeps coming back and stirring the pot, so obviously he really does not want to hear the truth about M$ and the base CFS3 game royalties.
Posted By: JimBobb

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/11/16 08:20 AM

Well there are other modern resellers like

www.bmtmicro.com


for example, here probably you would not need cfs3 royalties

Hey everyone, I am sorry that I am not posting any more screenshots or videos for WOFF UE. I would love to however I have started 12 hour shifts at my job (which I knew would be coming) so I don't get the stick time in that I would like. That is why I posted as many as I could before.

Let me just say though that WOFF UE is a wonderful sim and the devs and the beta team have worked very hard to bring it to life. Hopefully the wait is not too much longer. Chances are that you all will be flying WOFF UE soon and I won't be because I'm still working 12 hour shifts. I look forward to your thoughts once you finally have the finished product on your hard drives.

The devs will be releasing all of the details sometime soon. They have already made public about the two new French Two seaters: Breguet 14 and the Caudron G.4 which you can find pics of in this thread. There's a lot of nice things coming but we just have to wait until they release the official details of what is included.

That is genuinely jaw dropping Lou! I've started a new campaign in Alsace and I thought the vistas there were breathtaking, but this is taking it to yet another level.

And to think, all with the CFS3 engine which is, how old now? Absolutely astonishing!

Soppy,

Well enough lately. Started a new job and making good money.
Now to just find the time to fly!

On the bright side, i'll finally be able to afford the investment for rudder pedals/throttle setup.
Then I just need the industrial fan mounted behind my monitor so when I lean out with Track IR i'll get the full wind feel in my face!

I do wonder where the old crew is. Be nice to see them re-surface in the WOFF / ROF area.
BTW: If you're interested, We're doing a FiF tourney in ROF and could always use some more flyers!

Hi Jenks!

I'm glad to hear that work is treating you well. I can relate on the time crunch - RL has me pretty pinched for time as well!

I'd love to join the FiF tourney but sadly, I haven't had ROF installed on my system in quite some time and I've long since lost my login info for the planes I bought. duh

But with UE out now, I'm tempted to jump into some of the centenary and RiR/DiD campaigns going - perhaps we can jump in on one of those!

Looking forward to seeing your thoughts on the new release!

Cheers! cheers

I don't think I have ever hit anything with those, and man I try to get in really close before letting fly. And in sharing with another thread running, did you get confirmation on that balloon? Steve

Gentlemen, I thank you all for the praise. Most of it should be directed towards OBD. They've created a masterpiece.
SteveW, actually LePrieur rockets are my favorite. I miss the least with them. Just get close to the balloon, like on the screenies and aim above the gasbag. (Well, the picture isn't the best example - I missed with most of them.) And yes, the balloon was confirmed, yet the mission was deemed a failure. Go figure.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/26/16 10:00 PM

Even a modest system like mine - running an nVidia GTX 745, I'm getting impressively high frame rates and gorgeous graphics. UE is absolutely stunning!







This last image - which looks like a placid evening spent in a farmer's field was a very very close call for my 1918 "throw away" pilot (who has already lasted 6 hours of flight time and bagged two kills to his credit). As our flight was about to engage a flight of French Strutters escorted by N27's, my HUD showed "system failure." I quickly checked my throttle and fired my guns - and with both working I turned to attack the French Nieuport ahead of me. But, as he turned and dived below and I followed, my engine sputtered to a halt, leaving my prop to windmill in vain. Suddenly a shot of panic went through my brain as I realized that I had an angry enemy plane an no where to land. Thankfully, having hit the French machine a few times, he elected to take me up on gifting him a broken plane and he ran for home!

That left me with trying to figure out where to stuff an OAW Albatros DIII a good 30KM from anywhere. I managed to find a field but, as I touched down, I could make out a fence in my path. With no power I yanked back on the stick and porpoised the plane in a hop over it! And amazingly, I cleared! But then, I was running out of speed, but not quickly enough. I dug in the rudder and slammed the controls hard left and kicked the plane into a skid without tipping over. Came to a neat 180 just before the fence... and saved a screenshot for posterity!

Probably you are using VSnyc like most do. Caps it at 60.
Without it I get 100+ but I haven't checked with UE though I expect the same.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/27/16 01:16 AM

You get higher FPS, but you also get screen tears (pick your poison). The only way out of that problem is either nVidia G-Sync or AMD Freesync.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/27/16 02:06 AM

I've been told that the human eye can only see 20 some odd FPS so isn't 60 a wonderful thing and should we be concerned about achieving anything past that or does it have something more to do with room or surplus for more air action and more planes in the sky without lag potential ??
Posted By: Panama Red

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/27/16 02:15 AM

24 FPS with movies is completely different than 24 FPS in a game.

Movies use "motion blur" so it looks smooth from frame to frame, video games do not have that ability because they draw the screen one frame at a time. When you read reports of people testing games at 60 FPS versus the same game at 120 FPS, the people pick the 120 FPS as far smoother than the 60 FPS every time.

I know, because I can tell the difference between a game at 60 FPS or when I set the refresh rate on my monitor to 144 Hz since faster is always smoother.
Posted By: Banjoman

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/27/16 02:16 AM

I'm with you, I've been perfectly happy with 60 fps, but I was just wondering what the difference would be if I made any changes.
Posted By: CaptSopwith

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/27/16 02:31 AM

Hi Banjoman,

So the reason I'm hitting 100fps - which is unusual - is from using Fast vcync on my nVidia card. It basically locks the screen from tearing, but does so with little to no hit on the GPU. I'm using a mid-range GTX 745 that shipped with my Dell XPS system. With vsync on I get some stutters or pauses in game play. I personally think it's due to my ancient monitor which runs maxed out at 1680 x 1070. The refresh rate on the monitor is 59.8 mhz - so whenever my FPS dips below 60 to say 58, I get a micro-pause in play. So with Fast vcync, I can build more of a buffer and when it dips, I don't see any visible pause. Just one of the little quirks I've had to iron out. UE is much smoother though, but being paranoid, I haven't dared touch the settings from what was working before.

I average between 45-65 fps most of the time, though! I don't want you to think I have some sort of magic trick working over here!

Cheers!

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/27/16 03:07 AM

Thanks, I haven't heard of Fast VSync. I'll research and see if my card has that ability.
Posted By: Panama Red

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/27/16 08:15 AM

Fastsync is NVidia's new "trick" for people who like to play on high FPS (no V-sync), but hate the tearing. It really does not help if your game plays below 60 FPS, which is what G-sync is used for.

Fastsync is software induced, versus G-sync which requires a special monitor with a chip built in.

Yes, Fastsync is in the drivers, but I'm not sure how far back NVidia has pushed this for older video cards.

The only way you can tell for sure is load the latest NVidia drivers and see if it is an option for your particular card.

Balderdash.

"Motion blur" is not a method, technique, or system used to achieve or accomplish anything. It's actually a (generally undesired) side effect of capturing moving objects in still images (or a sequence of 'frames'):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_blur

Yes, it does contribute to fooling your eyes in a way, but that doesn't mean it's intentional, or even desireable. They don't do it to smooth anything, it happens regardless of what they do.

In short, it is an effect, not a cause.

Many types of technology have been used to overcome motion blur. Asus' website says "NVIDIA Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) technology decreases motion blur..." (https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1014609).

It makes no sense at all that anyone would spend time to develop a technology to reduce or eliminate something, if it were planned, intended, or even desirable in the first place.

It should be evident, then, that motion blur is not an intentional act of anyone to smooth anything. It wasn't developed, and it isn't used, to smooth moving images. It happens because movement is absolutely analog, while video frame captures are not.

In my case, it isn't about upping my FPS - on a 60hz monitor, I'm hard pressed to tell the difference as the refresh rate cancels out any gain. For me, it was about removing the hiccups I would get when the FPS would dip from 60 to 58 or 59 fps. I would get a brief hang, especially when turning my head in TrackIR. Fastsync seems to remove 99.9% of the issue. Subsequently, I've chalked up the occasional pause as the sim likely loading something in the distance that I can't see.

I'll stay with you in not turning this into a shop talk rofl

The consensus that I've seen in PC gaming circles is that 100+ FPS will look smoother on your monitor, but you won't really get the full benefit until you move to a higher MHz monitor. One of the good videos I've seen that breaks this down is here



As for me? I'm just happy to have WOFF UE running smoothly on my system! My Dell cost me just over $1,000 and I'm using an eight year old monitor that's extremely limited in resolution, so for now, the 745 card wedged in my XPS system will do just fine. I can always grab a 1060 card as a graduation present or, perhaps more appropriately, a "hey, I finally landed a job!" gift... biggrin

lol!... yes, I find it very difficult with this aircraft.
I set them as enemy against the early Alb DI, and had a hell of a time taking them on as the AI were flinging them all over the place...

This impressed me, so I decided to fly them myself... I have flown them several times now, and I'm getting away with it by the skin of my teeth each time.
I don't know what magic the AI has got when you see them in the DH-5, but it's a different kettle of fish when you fly them yourself.
That staggered wing gives you great forward vision, but that essential area above and behind (the one place where you need good visibility is nil!)...

I consider myself a pretty good pilot, and I'm quite confident in most aircraft that I fly, but not so in the DH-5.
I know they had problems in real life, and that they were relegated to ground attack roles (where they shined, and were good for that role) but as a pure scout aircraft, you really are taking your life in your hands when you take on even early enemy aircraft of the same time period...
Posted By: DukeIronHand

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/28/16 09:42 AM

Yes I always think the AI has an "advantage" in flying various aircraft (especially the quirky ones) as their flight coordination is "perfect" and they are always aware of the flight envelope, etc.

As an aside I think my graphic issue may have been my Nvidia Workshop settings seem to have reset to Default for whatever reason. And I do have access to "Fast" VSnyc.

They will often release new drivers if there is some big new AAA game that just got released as well. The update in those cases is usually just about better support for the new game. Not much else is normally impacted.

Boistrancourt, Summer 1917

Thanks to Panama Red for his continuing unpaid work in modding WOFF for the sole benefit of the fans, Winder and OBD for the original field, a dozen others for the idea and models - sorry I don't know who you all are, Thomas Edison for the invention of electricity, and finally the countries of Europe for making the war possible thereby giving us something to simulate in the peace and quiet of our own chairs.

Panama Red, your efforts on adding in Geezer's ground crew figures is first-rate and brings yet another level to this already amazing sim. Well done, and also another big shout out to Geezer for allowing his work to be used in WOFF! May I suggest though that you post your work in a different thread as showing this mod in the WOFF UE screenshots thread seems to be a bit confusing as folks are wondering what is stock and what isn't.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/31/16 02:14 PM

Whilst it's good to see modded screenshots, I aree with Lou posting in here confuses people as to what is in WOFF UE.

For example Droglant is in WOFF UE but maybe they will think they need a mod to see it etc? Please post in a separate thread PR maybe with subject "MOD:xxxxxx" and if you can mention which bits are new or stock it may help.

Fastsync is software induced, versus G-sync which requires a special monitor with a chip built in.



So if you have a G-sync monitor there's no advantage to setting V-sync to "fast" instead of just "on"?
Posted By: Panama Red

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 11/08/16 06:42 PM

Correct. In fact IIRC, there was a post over on the NVidia forms that stated that you set G-sync for FPS below 60 and the Fastsync for FPS above 60 and you never have any tearing and minimum stuttering since both can be used at the same time.
Posted By: hoongadoonga

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 11/08/16 07:03 PM

Thanks PR, but your "correct" confuses me. You're saying that if I have G-sync there is an advantage to using fast V-sync instead of "regular" V-sync, right?
Posted By: Panama Red

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 11/08/16 09:07 PM

Fast-sync allows your game to go as fast as the GPU can "pump out" FPS WITHOUT the tearing like the old V-sync off did. I have a 144 Hz monitor and the fastest I could get before Fast-sync came out was 144 FPS with V-sync on, now I can get 170+ FPS in WOFF UE with Fast-sync and no tearing. biggrin

G-sync's main benefit is low FPS and Fast-sync benefit is with high FPS, so both can be used at the same time without conflicting with each other.
Posted By: hoongadoonga

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 11/08/16 11:50 PM

Thanks again PR, but please bear with me as this technical stuff is over my head. I too have a 144 Hz monitor.

1. Are you saying that fast V-sync will have an effect only above 144 fps?

2. In other words, if I set regional activity to very heavy and get 80 fps at normal V-sync changing to fast V-sync won't bump me up to 90 fps?

3. And using fast V-sync won't allow me to do faster time compression?
Posted By: Panama Red

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 11/09/16 12:32 AM

Fast-sync will not make you go any faster FPS wise, but it will allow you to go faster FPS wise, and notice the difference in the wording.

What I am saying is that V-sync ON will only allow you (in your and my case) to max out at 144 FPS. With Fast-sync, this barrier is removed and you can get higher than 144 FPS in the game. If you have ever tried V-sync OFF, you will notice that your game will run as fast as your GPU can pump out FPS, but at the price of constant screen tearing. With Fast-sync, your GPU will again pump out the FPS as fast as it can, but WITHOUT the screen tearing now.

Your Fast-sync kicks in only above what ever you set your monitor Hz at, i.e. if you monitor is set at 60 Hz, Fast-sync kicks in at 61 FPS, if you set your Hz at 144 Hz, then Fast-sync kicks in at 145 FPS.

Fast-sync has absolutely nothing to do with time compression, that is all CPU calculations, not GPU rendering.

Harry is still madly in love with the pup and doing the King's good work.








Adam had spent a couple of weeks prowling around in the soup, then finally found a couple of Halbs:








Then a Roland found him.



Luckily he walked away from this one.


On the other side Ingvar, my one pilot to survive the Eindecker long enough to graduate had finally found some trade after his own fishing expedition in the soup:









Tragically, after attacking this FEE...





He collided with his wingman and fell to his death.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 11/21/16 10:24 PM

I'm in! Picked up the UE today! I decided that since the Germans had never got much love from me (mostly due to my inability to come up with cool names and them not having the N17 or SE5a), I would first enlist with Karl Spieler in the tail end of 1915:

It was, amazingly, a jaunt out over the lines with me in charge on my first flight! I was so nervous, I couldn't even remember my observer's name, let alone my wingman's. Of course, having the gun muzzle so close to my ear did not ease my concerns...

Well, as luck would have it, I made it back without any enemy contact. In fact, the ground forces were so busy pounding each other, they never even sent any ordinance our way. I feel fairly confident that future sorties will not be so placid...

Wallace Pickleworth training at Sutton's Farm ... so many balloons away into the distance smile





on your monitors these may just appear black, but on mine wonderful shades of blues and grays with the moonlight and searchers glinting here and there through clouds, off leading wing edges etc!



again, maybe hard to see on your monitors but a hauntingly wonderful shot through cloud with wing and wingman and sun beyond

In the final pic, I think the Roland CII pilot managed to land it mere seconds before he died. I took the screenshot while his smoking plane filled with holes was still rolling to a stop, but he was slumped over the controls dead. Observer lived though. I guess it was his lucky day.

That's because I just gunned the crap out of him and am hauling the chili out of town before he can return the favor! LOL!

The gunner doesn't look dead, but my wingman was also peppering him and I think his attentions are elsewhere.

Those things are tanks!

Finally the weather has cleared in 1916.

The long rainy period was not without its successes however...and failures. Adam Aames, my long surviving Laf Esc pilot was lost to a midair collision with a wingman while attempting to stay with a flight of BEs.

Enter Bailey Brubaker:



and he's off to a good start with two Halb kills on his first mission, touch wood.






Jurgen got to the squadron at the beginning of the dud weather, so he has had a slower start but has gotten in a few shots here and there:

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 01/04/17 03:56 AM

Amazing shot, Adger; catching the sun just clearing the trees and ebbing the shadows on that zep.

I had an interesting day myself.

I no sooner got my new paint job air-born when we got jumped by a flight of Hab's. We were chasing a couple of Rolands when they came in on us, and of course, my trusty Wingman left me to deal with the three of them.

I was quickly running out of sky when I pulled a maneuver I like to call Panic-attack and somehow ended up turning the tables.

First guy looked like he was going to dive under and away but I guess didn't realize my suicidal tendencies.



Could not resist as this is what I was seeing.



Rolled all the way up and out to port and there was number two. I guess he thought I'd gone down too because he didn't make a move. That burst that I'm firing must have hit him because he spun and went straight down.



Circled around with the third (was Heinrich Bussing) spitting lead at each other until I managed to cripple him up, get in behind him and empty what I had left into his back-side. A second later his wings came off, and down he went.

That smoking spot on the deck? Yeah, that's the first guy, his wingman. I figured they'd want to be buried together.


I think that lady luck was sitting my wingtip today...and I hear she can be fickled.


Love the N-17, and agree, love this game.

Against 12 aces Fokker DVII, you might be at a very slight disadvantage, but the Caudron is a good recon plane, able to defend itself until mid 1916.

He has gotten a few shots off, but has been denied much credit for his works.



Ah, well. He has the pride in knowing that he is serving the Fatherland.



Bailey has been doing better.


He had one of those defining WOFF moments yesterday, where he went from this:








to this:



in about two seconds.


That was a looooong glide home,




followed by a somewhat longer walk. Again, with the engine off and the wind whistling through the distant trees, WOFF delivered one of its signature moments where you really feel like a stranger in a strange land.

I'll say. That first shot was well described.

On the other side, dawn patrol. I didn't even intend to take these. I was actually looking back in the first one to see my flight taking off. Graphics are amazing.





Posted By: Blackard

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 01/13/17 05:49 AM

But I landed.

Speaking of damage models. The lower wings were from combat, too man Gs etc., but the tail section got me. Not only the crumpled port side elevator, but the control surface basically detached, hanging on only only be the canvas (not to mention the shredded rudder). I spun out as I came to a stop and that is what I saw when I pulled back to look.

I did that coming in. Was fighting a roll and could not maintain sufficient altitude to get over those trees. Went through almost sideways and felt the jolt as my tail hit. The starboard aileron was actually flopping up and down in the breeze as I sat there.

Only thing that would have made it better is if I had done the final layer to texture and age it a bit, but still pretty amazing.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 01/13/17 07:08 AM

Well, I'm not sure it's quite so pretty as that nice blue Nieuport, but I bagged a couple E.III's on my last patrol, and I took a couple screenshots of one of 'em, since he landed so obligingly in basically one piece.


Just after the other guy landed.


Zoomed in, took this screenshot, then decided to try and land next to him to get a closer one.


As I flew past, I saw that there were a lot of trees and a fence there, so I broke off my approach to land. Still came pretty close, though, so I paused to get a couple more screenshots. Shows more damage on the model than I usually get a chance to see - shooting at Eindeckers, the easiest target seems to be the pilot sticking out the top, so I tend to normally just see craters.


Zoomed in, I saw the pilot slumped over in his cockpit - he must've been good! His engine stopped in the air, so he made a dead-stick landing just before dying.

Hi Deacon.

I'm looking to copy some of the Screen Shots here, and I'd really like to copy this one. I'm doing this thing where, as we build our new house, and my new office (and man-cave), I'm going to be doing the walls with different themes that I enjoy (collections over the years).

Above my desk some of my old Marine Corps stuff; the TV, some sports and golf memorabilia (Fan of Ben Hogan, have his style, and have some of his memorabilia). Over my little work-out area my collection of Norman Rockwell's. At my gaming rig (on the other corner), I've decided to go with a collection of WWI screen shots of the different planes and scenes.

I'm a fan of illustration, water colors, pen and ink, oils more then photos. This game has risen to that level, and this SS is really Amazing.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 01/18/17 12:20 AM

Very cool! It's really the color palette and the shaders that give you those great Stokes-like tones.

The first one particularly has that nice brush work feel. I use Photoscape, but the effect is too overdone at any but the lowest setting. I like how the rain is more muted in this second series as well.

Nice work Fullofit!
Posted By: Fullofit

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 01/18/17 01:28 AM

Deacon211, there is a bunch of things happening there. All done with filters. That soft brush filter is aptly called "oilify". It removes a lot of detail, but gives you the softness in return. I suppose the canvas texture also makes it look like a real painting, although typically you don't see it on real paintings unless you come really close.

Posted By: Fullofit

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 01/19/17 10:27 AM

Banjoman, I've played with the cartoon filter as well. It's an art to find the right amount of black to be used in the process, otherwise it starts to look like an engraving. It's funny the program can't find the horizon, that seems to be missing in the second shot. Maybe in WOTR they'll figure out how to increase the distance and reduce that fog.
Posted By: Banjoman

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 01/19/17 03:05 PM

Yeah, I didn't make any adjustments, just a straight up conversion. I think I'll start using those filters on my screenshots, though probably not the cartoon filter.

Hey Banjoman, I believe it is the process the filter uses to make the image look like a painting - it softens the edges. Perfect example are the clouds if you compare to original the original is much sharper. Same applies to any detail like the crosses. If it is too sharp you will lose the impression of a painting. It's the same with CGI in movies, if they don't do any post-processing it is easy to recognize it's computer generated. Something that helps with our images is higher resolution. You can apply the filter to HD image and it'll still keep more detail. Then it can be down-sampled to the max image size this website is able to host, which is 1600 pixels in horizontal.
Compare the 2 images below. Both had exactly same filters applied with same settings, but the first one had it applied to higher res. image. Second had its filters applied after rescaling image to 1600 pixels. Hopefully you can pick up more detail on the first image, even though the edges are still blurred to get the right effect.

Note: Images are modified from original.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 01/21/17 02:03 AM

I bumped Gloss from 5 to 7 in the Workshop and to me, it looks like it gives a nice doping shine effect to the aircraft. Couldn't speak to te exact historical accuracy, but it looks cool.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 01/21/17 02:45 AM

Hellshade, I can't get a single shininess setting to work with all the planes. Seems they all have different levels. On top of that, some parts are much more glossy than others. Makes sense - fabric will be less shiny than metal. I like the level in your pic, not too shiny. I keep mine at default and some parts look chrome. See the cowling in this pic:

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 01/21/17 11:54 AM

The differences in shine could be due to the effect of the in-game shaders??
Posted By: Fullofit

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 01/21/17 01:59 PM

Sandbagger, I'm not sure what you mean. Are there different shaders for each aircraft, that's why I'm getting different glossiness levels with the same Workshops settings?
Posted By: Burning_Beard

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 01/21/17 03:53 PM

I tried just the opposite, I reduced the Gloss down to 3 and bumped the Environment Reflections all the way to 9. I can now see how difficult it would be to find a camouflaged plane against the ground clutter. If I had not been using a Target Lock I would lose them every time.

Just a guess - I could be wrong.
It could be the way the different aircraft skins were created by the skinners. Each has his own software preference and techniques, so maybe the various aircraft types react differently with the game shaders.
In the earlier aircraft skins, some has 'lighting' added to replicate what the shaders now do. Could be it's those types of skins that vary to other later skins that don't have this 'lighting' added.

You can see this 'lighting' if you scan through the skins using IfanView. Check the Strutters (as that's the one in your shot) and you can see the 'lighting' texture on the side of the engine cowl.

Does a particular aircraft type vary to another type with the same settings?

Like I say it's a guess and could be a red herring.

Now there is a old school skinner speaking from experience salute
We added 'occlusion' to areas close to structural joints, such as wings to fuselage, tailplane/fin to fuselage etc. This was done by adding a darker 'shadow' at the join areas. Again something now redundant with the advent of the shaders.

Remember? The stripe on my upper wing, on the diagonal, pixel by pixel, and you could not use black for shadows as it was invisible. You had to go with the darkest gray you could get to work. Doing my plane took hours. I think I still have the files stashed away in my old xp machine somewhere.

I remember, much later, modding in "Full Canvas Jacket", which really made the game look great (and skinning that much harder). I think that's the only reason that I don't have the Steam Version loaded up (well, that and this game). Can't mod it into their version.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, however a side by side comparison of 2002 CFS3 and 2016 WOFF UE shows they aren't even remotely the same. That said, RoF and WOFF UE both have, IMHO, their own areas where they each shine. I guess it all just depends on what you are looking for. There are things in RoF I wish were in WOFF UE and things in UE I wish were in RoF. Glad we can have both.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 02/02/17 12:31 AM

If you calibrate your monitor correctly to start with, you do not need SweetFX.
Posted By: Blackard

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 02/02/17 02:02 AM

So Sweet does not really enhance? or does it, just not to the extreme difference with UE?

As far as the monitor, I just got a new one. Did a calibration. Game looks great, but it looks just a bit different in than that picture (the water actually).

Might be a few things. I have my saturation turned down just a bit. in game I had environmental reflections and glossiness turned down to about half (which would account for the reflections off the waves?). Just read that 40LM also reduces the shore foam.

Going to play around with them but was curious about Sweet also. Adger's shots always look amazing.

I'd vote ignorance. Not in a nasty way, but in a lack of knowledge way. People often just grab a soundbite and run with it rather then study, or understand it. It's how the media works to control public opinion, or how special interest portray "studies" that favor their agenda or point of view (very few actually delve into the study).

The individual simply looked at the date that CF3 originated and made a giant leap of assumption based on limited data. If the individual did just a bit of research, they'd clearly understand that this game is not replicating 2002 graphics as it stands at this point.

There is having one's point of view, or preference, then there is the art of besmirching based upon said reference or point of view. Seems the individual extrapolated his preference out just a bit.

I've run both sims myself. My preference is this one, but ROF is also an extremely good looking game.

Most of the mods on here are brilliant mate,it might be Olhams Rivers mod that gives it a bit of extra shine regarding the water pal.
4Loms mod is brilliant,so is the models mod,il take a pic of what im using ..and the order ive installed and ive had zero problems mate.Ankors brilliant Enhanced cockpit view mod is a must its brilliant.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 02/03/17 04:43 AM

I'm 67yo and did lots of plastic modeling in my life. My last phase I was in my 30's--40's and was doing them with my youngest son and we did some pretty nice ones, aircraft and armor. My favorite thing of all those hours was researching and doing camouflage. Now in WWII the Italian, some Japanese, and some German in North Africa had the most interesting stuff, fun to paint. But in WWI a different story. The French and British didn't do much, pretty boring. The Germans were nice, kinda went through a few phases. Some pretty straight forward camo at first, then the 'anti-camo', the crazy colors and designs, and then the lozenges designs. I remember when I first saw the lozenge I kept wondering how it would work visually, were you less noticeable with that scheme when viewed from above or what? So the USAS then actually tried a pretty workable paint scheme, broad areas of paint that were used later in WWII by US, British, maybe French too. So a nice concept. I like this photo of an N28 with landscape below. SW
Posted By: Panama Red

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 02/03/17 09:21 AM

Remember, the Americans used what came out of the French factories in WW1, and this was the late war French camo scheme for all their planes (look at the French and American SPADS in WOFF and you will see the same camo on those planes too).

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 02/03/17 11:47 AM

PR, true enough, although the last time I flew Fr. SPADs they had the one color skin. I don't remember the four color and the use of black though. Anyway I liked the image because it does give that 'deceptive' look. SW

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 02/05/17 04:30 AM

PR, just noticed an image from Fullofit on the WOFF Art Thread of a French SPAD similar to this US Nieuport. Didn't look like it had camo paint on the fuselage, I'll check into it some more. I'm not a 'skinner' so I could easily be missing out. It is a nice paint design for WWI though. SW
Posted By: Sandbagger

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 02/05/17 10:28 AM

Hi Steve,
Early French aircraft were mainly clear doped linen (CDL) or aluminium silver. Later some aircraft types were camouflaged by the different manufacturers, as with the early Spad V.II and later Spad V.III.
Each manufacturer chose slight differences to the standard camouflage style, roundels and even the style and positioning of the aircrafts serials numbers.
Spad's were produced primarily by Bernard, Bleriot, Kellner and Spad and each style, where applicable, is reflected in the Spad skins in WOFF.

Hi Steve,
Yes - The N.28's upper surfaces were the factory standard pattern of Chestnut Brown, Dark and Light Green and Beige. The right upper wing 'foot print' and right upper horizontal stabilizer patch were lamp black.
When passed to the American units, they embellished them with various colour schemes on the engine cowl, wings and on a few, with posters of the time pasted onto the right upper wing surfaces (see the 27th, 94th, 95th, 147th Squadrons).

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 02/05/17 06:02 PM

SB, thanks. I'm familiar with the 'individual' work on the US aircraft, what I know less about is the look of the 1918 French aircraft. I have pretty much only flown OFF/WOFF as US in '18. I'm a 1916-1917 pilot. So that's helpful to know. Be that as it may, again it is a very nice camo. SW

Well if you are interested in flying American in 1916 with colourful planes, I recommend you the Escadrille Lafayette



Posted By: SteveW

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 02/06/17 08:19 PM

Thanks, AJ. I get that, the first squadrons/escadrilles that I flew when I first got OFF in 2010 was the Laf. Esc. I have always been interested in them and I think one of the very first books I read on WWI was 'Falcons of France' by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall. Being from the US I've read much about them and the Flying Tigers in WWII. I like the idea of volunteering, and of course there was the 'adventure'. So yeh, I like the Laf Esc a lot and I usually go until I run into SPADs. And what I meant was that I don't really care for 1918 much, but will fly for US 'cause I like the Nieuport 28. Sandbagger mentioned the upper wing images that the US pilots were painting on their aircraft, posters, etc. In 'Falcons of France' they asked Nordhoff what he wanted painted there, he said he hadn't really given it any thought, but decided on a palm tree because of the familial connections to the South Pacific. I guess they thought it was kinda 'different', but he kept it. Of course the two of them went on to write my first and favorite 'high seas' adventures, the 'Bounty' trilogy, and I think he lived his life there. Anyway thanks Actionjoe I appreciate the thought.

You are very lucky to have survived the encounter with the Tripehounds! I would have stalled and spun out of there and onto the deck ASAP and to heck with flying mates! Live to fly another day and make amends, right? lol

Man.
I know I have said it a dozen times over the years but I will say it again...this game is the prettiest damn thing on a monitor screen. Every time I come here, and fly myself - with everything being different every time due to weather, light, etc - I always come away with a bit of awe.

Rick, Yes, that is a cropped shot (about 2/3rds) of the whole.
Running at 7780 x 1440 (Bezel adjusted) resolution @ 85Hz

I was worried how my 980ti would hold up driving three monitors, but WOFF is only pushing it to about 80%.
It is quite stunning to have such a wide vista.
WOFF is is a true gem!

Lederhosen;

That was typical in real life and is simulated in the sim. Hispano-Suiza engine, particularly the geared-output H-S 8B-powered early versions suffered such failures regularly up until 1918. Just cross your fingers and maintain altitude when over the line and hopefully you will make it back!!

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 04/12/17 01:27 PM

These screenshots guys... are just jaw dropping!

Makes me think we should start an OFF Retrospective thread to compare where we were with Phase 1 and WOFF UE. Hard to fathom that it's the same engine buried underneath all of that work.

Here are some from my most recent flights. Been spending some quality time with the Fokker EI which is a handful.

Fantastic shots! Another form of art I say. One of my new Hun pilots on a sunny morning. This is also the reason I do not take many outside view screenshots. Almost back to base, everything is cool, "Oh, that would make a nice shot." Look around. All safe. Then while adjusting for just the right angle my machine is splattered from a Pup!

I noticed these the other night. Was letting the computer fly a mission while I fiddled with the view system
and tried to get some pics and I came across this. I guess my AI pilot was wounded in the dogfight and the
windscreen showed the blood spatter. He made it back and landed so it must have been merely a flesh
wound. biggrin Little details like this are what set WOFF_UE apart from the rest in my experience.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/03/17 03:35 PM

So last night I was flying in my 1918 German campaign - with Bruno Stachel in Jasta 34b. The campaign gives you a very good taste of how unpleasant it must have been to be a German flier at the end of the war.

During the mission, we engaged a flight of French Nieuport 27's - which seemed to hound us for several missions. As we attacked, they dove for the deck and as I rolled my Pfalz over to chase him through the clouds, I had one heck of a flashback.

The first attachment is a screenshot I snapped of the intro video to Red Baron II/3D from back in the day. I've probably seen this intro 10,000 times by now.

[Linked Image]

And the second is a snap I grabbed as we descended through the clouds. I distinctly remember playing RB back in 1998 - when I was 15 years old - and thinking "man, how cool would it be if games looked this real one day?"

[Linked Image]

Well, it looks like that day has come - and then some - as the screenshot of my mission looks better than the cinematics from back in the day!

Thanks Gentlemen. In this one I manage to perform a high diving attack on a trio of BE2cs. The first pass against the flight leader was remarkably lucky. I think the only reason that my wings didn't rip off was because I was in a DII with II style wing struts instead of the V shaped ones. I won'tr be doing anything of the sort if I live to fly a DIII.

Great first pass on that unlucky BE2c! Those rear gunners were not very active were they?

My engine stopped while still behind enemy lines on my way out. Gliding down with no hope of making it even to no man's land let alone my side, I looked for a long straight road to land on. No kidding, there was an enemy observation balloon near the road and i put his craft into a dive to pick up some speed and made a pass at it. I got smoke! So I pulled up with my diving speed, circled back for a second gliding pass at the balloon and blew it up! I then managed to still safely land on the road. I wish I hadn't stopped recording, as I have no proof to offer of the event. It was pretty amazing though.

Pups over the target with a head to head engagement. I followed one down low but lost him right before the kill. Soon enough more Pups descended to my altitude and the battle was back on again.

Later, on the way back after the main battle I spotted a lone pup racing for home, almost to his side of the lines. Alas for him, it was not to be.

Posted By: Hellshade

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/17/17 03:36 PM

I spotted tiny specs of white far below us and decide to lead the flight down to investigate. At first I could only find one but once I got down to altitude, I found the rest quite quickly. What followed was an epic battle for survival against some well trained French pilots, WOFF UE is incredible! Thanks Devs and Modders!



First time I have ever encountered twin gun Sopwith Triplanes in the campaign. The extra gun weight really did seem to impact their performance.




Spas 7s in the area where we were assigned to patrol for balloon cover. Did my best to energy fight them which is a tricky business.

I engage a low flying flight of DH5s(?) and my wingmen follow me down....except they don't engage! Evidently they had way too much confidence in me that I could fight off 5 or 6 of them alone. Eventually they figure it out but not before things are incredibly dire for me.



and from an earlier mission where Camel pilots ripped me up pretty good and kept coming after me. Scary crap!

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/18/17 12:48 AM

Finally assigned the new machines. Fokker DR1s. The first flight out we ran across a trio of Spads and managed some victories, but we quickly found the limitations of these new crates. They can neither dive with a Spad nor keep up with its speed unless it has been damaged. We will have our work cut out for us now.



Nevermind. The very next mission they pulled the DR1s away and gave me back my old DV Uprated. Really?!? lol

Towards the end I was racing to get to a wingman being chased by a Spad. I was closing ground quickly, but not quick enough. The Alb pulled up and the Spad flew right into him, sending both crates earthward in balls of fire
.


A great scrap with Brisfits! One near miss collision was so close I thought for sure he was going to plow right into my tail on his was down.

Finally back in the DR1 again. I am getting used to her, but she's certainly a different beast than the Alb DVa.

Nevermind. The very next mission they pulled the DR1s away and gave me back my old DV Uprated. Really?!? lol

Really great to see you flying and posting videos again, Hellshade! I do enjoy viewing them. I also greatly admire your flying and shooting skills. The only skill I seem to have mastered is my skill at smashing into the ground!

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/18/17 04:20 PM

Thanks guys. I just try not to die. lol

So we are flying along in a shiny new DR1s and the flight suddenly starts acting funny. I look around and eventually I see it, a lone Allied craft diving in at us while his wing man flies off back towards his own lines. "What a fool", I thought. This will be an easy kill. Not so! This DH4 pilot was incredible in how he handled his kite, especially against DR1s. He threw his crate all over the sky and gave me hell trying to get a bead on him.

The final report showed that none of us actually shot him down. Evidently when he swooped down low to throw off his antagonists, his damaged craft did not respond as well as it should have and it looked like he skipped off the ground. The bounce was too much and turned him into a rolling ball of fire across the landscape. Even for this, I cannot fault him, for in my pursuit of him I miscalculated how much stress my DR1s wings could handle in a dive and I did a fair amount of damage to my own crate. Whoever he was, we all drank a toast to his skill and bravery once we returned back to base.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/18/17 04:58 PM

We tangled with a flight of DH5s in a bright, clear sky. Though it was squadron vs squadron, there was a point where I was left alone in the middle of a hornets nest, DH5s in every direction and all focused on me. Must be a little of what Werner Voss felt like on that fateful day. I did manage to draw smoke from my first target on the very first head on pass of the engagement!

For Just a Moment, I Felt Like Werner Voss

OvS has been hard at work at a new project and he has been kind enough to share an advanced copy of it with me. It seems he has red-done or created from scratch a huge inventory of high resolution OAW DIII and Early DIII skins! They look just fantastic. I will be showcasing a few but hopefully they will be able to be released to the public sometime soon! In any case, I noticed that I couldn't fly the DIII for crap before, but with the new skins I have been turned into a killing machine!! (Okay, before was the DIII and this is the OAW DIII, but whatever. I still credit OvS for inspiring me to fly better with his incredible high resolution paint jobs.) Truly he is an artist. Thanks for all that you do for the community James!

An example of a high resolution Ace skin. Beautiful work, OvS!



And another OAW Ace skin

Hi Gents!

Here's a few from the last few weeks. My RFC 19 pilot was lucky to get his SPAD back home after an airfield attack mission deep behind enemy lines. To add insult to injury, we were attacked by an angry flight of Albatros fighters as we were trying to escape. Still, any landing you walk away from and all that...

And a few others from the unfriendly skies. Hope you enjoy!

Hiya Hellshade! Hope you're doing well mate!

That's a tough question to answer, too! It's hard to compare WOFF with UE as I didn't play WOFF 3 for very long before making the jump to UE so I can best compare it back to OFF. It just feels like the complete package - from the opening screen until you (hopefully) set back down on your field after a sortie, it feels like a fully realized sim from end to end.

I think if I absolutely had to pick a feature? I'd have to say its the AI. After playing flight sims since... when was it, 1993 or so? It's easy to still have an edge over the computer and learn their routines. But I still cannot anticipate what an enemy aircraft is going to do in WOFF UE and the results of all of the AI working together in the sky really paints a convincing picture that you are watching real pilots fight it out. Some run, some get scared, others get the upper hand and engage. It's amazing to watch a dogfight unfold in a way that really feels organic and believable.

I went back and fired up Red Baron off of my USB hard drive and wow... have we come a long way. Even after not touching it for a few years now, I could still predict where the AI was going and then lead shoot him from at least 300 feet back! Not the case in UE! And heaven help you when they get behind you - I've been downed at least a dozen times in UE from an enemy I didn't see who blasted my plane to bits from my 6 o'clock with one lethal pass. You really don't get a second chance up there!

And the sim still surprises - as you probably saw with my question about guns taking damage! You never know what you're going to find, and that's what brings me back again and again.

Good evening gents!

Here's a few screenshots from around the Front during this evening's missions. The sunrise during my 1918 campaign was particularly jaw dropping! As an aside I have to say that I'm noticing smoother gameplay with the Windows 10 Creators Update. FPS aren't any higher, but they are more consistent and I'm seeing less pauses and stutters as I go. *knocks on wood!* mycomputer

Hiya fellas... just a heads-up... please remember to download the new OAW D.III skin pack and load it in. You'll see a lot more skins and those that are there are overwritten with brand new versions... anything that is not and looks old... you can delete.

@Robert Wiggins... that Jasta 18 Paul Turck is actually a screw-up on my part from over 10 years ago.. it was supposed to be Harald Auffarth, while Ernst Wilhelm Turck (correct name) actually flies a black banded OAW. There is no such pilot as Paul Turck... I've learned a lot in 10+ years...lol.

That sounds like one heck of a rig, Pol! Makes sense when you are developing the sim the rest of enjoy. I can't imagine what a screen resolution like that looks like. My system runs at 1680x1050!

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 12/23/17 07:26 PM

So during my Christmas "break" from work, I decided to hop back into my old favorite plane, the Sopwith "Tripehound", and start a campaign. First mission out and it was truly an incredible experience. Only WOFF UE brings the war so much to life for me. Some missions are long and dull. Nothing happens. This wasn't one of those missions. On a side note, kudos to everyone who had a hand in creating the scenery in WOFF UE, including modders like Buckeye Bob and his amazing Cloud Mod.

"Tripehound" Mission Part I



And literally 30 seconds after that video ended and I thought I was just going to return to base, this happened.

"Tripehound" Mission Part II

Hellshade, I agree with you on the Tripe. It's my favorite too. Agile, fast, and stable.


Posted By: BuckeyeBob

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 12/23/17 10:41 PM

As George Takei might say, "Oh my!"

While the Tripes can be deadly, they are also very delicate. Rotten luck there, Hellshade.

Thanks for the shout-out for the cloud mod. I am glad that you are enjoying it. Also, don't forget Robert's wonderful airfield mod. winkngrin

BTW, PanamaRed also deserves a lot of the credit -- he not only helped out on both of these mods, but was also the inspiration for both. I bet he has helped with other mods and modders, as well.

Also, of course, JJJ65's Mission Editor!

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 12/26/17 12:54 AM

Squadron Leader turned quickly towards a pair of Hun DFWs, but two of our own collided in the sudden direction change, sending one of them to a fiery death before we even got close. We hadn't even gotten to the Huns yet.




On patrol, we get jumped from above by some Alb DIIs. My V struts are creaking just a bit too often for my comfort. If the Huns don't kill me, probably they will.

Posted By: Hellshade

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 12/26/17 03:30 AM

So I am flying escort for the two seaters and I notice that all the N17 scouts are below them, not above. Kinda strange, so I climb like hell to at least be a single plane for top cover. Sure enough while over occupied France, a flight of Albs drops down on me from even higher altitude. The good news is that I distracted them from the two seaters I was protecting. The bad news was they all swarmed me! I'm not sure how many of them there were. Maybe five? Finally, at least one of my wingmen joined to help and an incredible dogfight ensued while my recon flight made good their escape.

Posted By: Hellshade

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 12/26/17 03:32 AM

Jumped by Bosch while escorting a recon flight. We stayed behind to keep Jerry occupied while they continued their mission.




Having handled the Albs, I try to catch up with my Recon flight. Instead, I come across a pair of Strutters being swarmed by Albs. It looked like a shark feeding frenzy, so I flew in hoping to give the Strutters some desperately needed relief.

Many thanks again to the terrific modders who made this possible. And of course, the developer of WOFF UE.

Both Ketten of Jasta 30 chased eight FE2Bs back over their lines. After sending one down I looked around the sky and it was raining FEs. There were four going down, trailing smoke at the same time. Unfortunately I could only get two of them in the shot.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 03/22/18 02:58 PM

Okay so I'm flying in formation with my friends in Jasta 2 and I see some specs at my 7 o'clock. As we are still behind our lines, I break formation and go to investigate. Can't have any nasty Allied two seaters reporting back troop locations. Sure enough, flying straight towards me were a pair of recon aircraft, eager to get back to their side and tell their commanders of all they had seen. I have to say, the Gods of War with with me in my rather brazen attacks on them. Not long after, I rejoined my flight and we ran afoul of some Nieuports. One thing I have to say about OBD is they know how to make it feel like total chaos and desperation up in the sky. And one minute, all hell is breaking loose. The next, the skies are completely clear. I love this sim.

Damn EII turns like a train and then can suddenly flip on you like a bird with only one wing if you aren't careful. It's all slow motion combat until things get real scary low to the ground.

The problem is that, while the moon location accurately tracks in an arc across the sky, and the phase and position timing changes appropriately with the calendar, the graphic is always displayed as it was drawn (left-right, up-down). To look the way is should in the real world the graphic would need to slowly rotate clockwise as it tracks in an arc across the sky. As it is now it looks correct only when it is at the top of it's arc, and is +/-90 degrees off at either end of the arc.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 04/17/18 02:33 PM

MajorMagee, thanks for the info! If the phase and location is correct, it shouldn't be too difficult to rotate the image towards the sun in the shader code. Maybe I'll get to it someday.

SERIOUSLY DETERMINED OR DESPERATE GERMAN AVIATIK PILOT!

Multiple strafing runs against a solitary, parked Aviatik sitting on the end of the runway and I managed to blow off BOTH lower wings. Certain he's done for, I turn back only to see the crazy German pilot starting to taxi his plane down the runway for takeoff! He's either really determined or really desperate to get into the air.

In any case, I can't have it so I circle around behind him and strafe him again. He never gets off the ground, of course, and slams into a copse of trees just past the end of his runway, causing his already disabled plane to catch fire and take more damage. One final strafe past and I kill the pilot with a few well placed rounds. I don't want anyone that determined to ever get up in the air against me! I salute him though. He certainly had the courage of a fighter pilot.

Just when you think you've seen everything in this sim....

Watching your latest video, it came to my mind that sometimes I wonder how is it that AI planes manage to make such tremendous dives without losing their wings. When enemy two-seaters make 4000 feet semi vertical dives only to recover when above the trees and I see my flight mates following them almost on the vertical I envy their structural integrity management.

My limited understanding of this phenomenon is that some of the modders have looked into how the AI can do this and they either haven't discovered why it happens or they are unable to change it so the AI flies by the same structural limitations that are imposed upon the player. If there was ever a way to get the AI to respond to the structural limits of their own aircraft, I think it would make the dogfights even more interesting because they would literally keep alitude for significantly longer periods of time. There would be "more dogfight and less dive" in many encounters. My guess - which probably has no bearing on reality at all - is that the AI coding doesn't have a way to recognize when their aircraft are being stressed, so their planes are just made immune to g-forces rather than have numerous dogfights end with the enemy ripping their own lower wings off during extended dives. While it might be interesting to see once in awhile, as I am sure it did happen in real life, it would get old pretty fast to see it happen with such frequency.

If someone can mod the AI to detect the stress levels of the wings OR limit how far each particular type of craft will dive (Spads much longer than N11s, for example) before switching to another tactic, it might more closely simulate how pilots would handle their craft during air combat. Is either one of those a possibility? (I will ask in the mods section)


Posted By: BuckeyeBob

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/17/18 07:19 PM

Not to throw too much cold water on this, Hellshade, but I believe that JJJ has looked extensively at this issue and has concluded that the AI operates by a different set of rules than the human player, at least in regard to wing stress. My suspicion is that this is a leftover from CFS3 code. Since CFS3 was originally designed as a WWII simulator, it didn't include any variables relating to wing collapse due to overspeed, since that problem in plane design had mostly been solved by the time of WWII.

Rex Hannover and OBD might be able to create such a variable, but then they would have to figure out how to train the AI to pay attention to it without appearing too robot-like. Given the variety of aircraft (Albs and Nieuports on the one hand and Spads on the other), plus variety of pilot skills and experience, I suspect this might be quite difficult to do. I entirely sympathize with your point, however. It is disappointing to see the AI overuse the "power-dive" escape move, particularly since we can't follow them. Maybe the AI is a lot smarter than we give them credit!
Posted By: Hellshade

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/17/18 07:30 PM

BB,

I highly suspected that it was a leftover relic of the underlying WWII code that wouldn't require that feature. That said, since the players planes can break their wings, OBD did somehow manage to introduce that possibility into the code. Point certainly taken about exact calculations for how much wing stress each plane can take before breaking, though theoretically they already figured that out when they assigned the values to the players planes.

Here's a different idea though:

I wonder if a shortcut would be not to introduce gforce damage to the AI planes at all, but rather lump all planes into one of perhaps 3 categories of dive capability and then simply limit how long (or how much altitude it can lose) before it pulls out whenever the AI specifically does the steep dive manuever. Low quality planes dive for the least amount of time before pulling up into another move, moderate for a bit longer and then planes like Spads could dive much longer and farther. The AI would then pull out of the dive based on the assigned value (or before hitting the ground) before wing damage would likely have occured, simulating (very roughly) the extent that the plane could handle that type of dive. Of course it wouldn't be perfect, but it would be more realistic than an AI controlled EIII or N11 power diving a few thousand feet and pulling out to escape the player who has no hope of folllowing. Bonus would be to include skill in the determination, where AI ACE pilots could dive a bit farther (due to their skill), moderate would use the default values and Novice AI pilots wouldn't be able to dive as far for fear of ripping their wings off and not really knowing the limitations of their craft. Again - not perfect - but still moving the ball forward a bit.

What do you think?

Not until you get out and cut the serial number out of the fuselage. You then have to go over to your C.O. and throw the fabric at his feet. THEN you say, "confirmed!"

Well, that's not the real issue. It'll be fine to test fly some new airplane. Might help your career. Just don't mess around the General's wife. Now THAT will be a mistake!

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/21/18 02:58 PM

They are indeed very impressive images.

That said, though I could be wrong, I'm thinking there is some kind of post-capture processing applied...I'm not sure these are "straight" screen shots. Again, I could be wrong. To me, the foreground being super-sharp focused and the background being out of focus, isn't something the sim does unaided - that I know of, anyhow.

It is a great effect, though and yes, reminds me of diorama photos I saw as a kid that got me interested in building models, too.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/21/18 03:43 PM

Yes, it looks like masking out the airplane and applying a blur tool to the background in post process. Reshade has some effects that can do that live in-game, but it requires z sorting information that our old game engine simply does not provide in the proper format to be used.

Yes, that's what it seems like to me. Wasn't there, at some point, a thread that was created as a place for that sort of 'artistic embellishment'? I'm being lazy, but didn't see it right off.

To me, it would seem a bit misleading if someone wound up with the impression the sim can do that "out of the box".

There was a WOFF UE Art thread and it had some amazing stuff in it. Part of why I am so excited about the possibility of DX11 for WOTR. IF AnKor succeeds and IF it gets somehow brought back into WOFF UE, It's possible there could be some nice visual upgrades beyond just the performance. That's a lot of IFs though, so I'm hoping for it but not counting on it.

I don't know what an enb is so I guess the answer is no. These are regular screenshots with layered gaussian blur and adjusted brightness and contrast in Gimp.

I bought the TrackIr and managed to set it up. It works fine, as long as I avoid hitting F6.
But I’m getting disoriented. How long did it take you to get accustomed to not using padlock? Thirty years worth of flight sims of habits are hard to break.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 07/10/18 11:53 PM

So I'm returning home in my Alb DI and I get a Sopwith Pup on my tail. No worries, he's far enough back and it appears that I can out run him. A few minutes later, a flight of noops high above spots me and one of them comes down to have a look, also dropping in tow behind me.

Once I get well into my territory over some small town, I decide the Pup is far enough back that I can turn to face him (and the Noop) in time to greet him with a head on pass and hopefully do some damage, which I manage to do. The plan was to get enough damage on the Pup that he gets knocked out of the fight and then it's just me and the French plane. Despite being called by the girlfriend for dinner mid fight (you can see the short pause) I managed to knock the Pup out of the fight. To my surprise, the Frenchmen dropped low (despite not taking a single hit) and tried to run back to home. Bad move for him. Really, really love this sim. I looked around but never saw where the pup went after he dropped out of view. I have no idea if he was able to slink back home at tree top level and I missed him or if he crashed.

Used to work fine, but it's been ages since I've had the free time to play and just a few days ago when I fired up WOFF it kept crashing on the 'contact' screen. Through process of elimination I removed a few mods, and that was the culprit. Should have posted or PM'd someone but forgot, sorry -

Representative pics below of the WOFFue effects pack, also Buckeye Bob's optional clouds pack, activated in WOFFue in WineSkin on a Mac. Pleased to report that the supported mods list has now been updated under the relevant post in the stickies section - all the ones listed there run great. And with AnKor's blue triangle elimination tweaks implemented (as also outlined in the WOFFue on a Mac post), framerate doesn't drop much below 16-17 fps even in the thick of the action.

Happy flying,

First day off in 19 days! To relax I went back to flying an old "Dead is Dead" campaign starting from Sept 1915 on the German side. Realistic encounter settings, no labels. Finally, after 30 hours of flying time, I get my first encounter. Flying in a crappy little Fokker E I I get chased by a Nieuport back over my own home airfield. Outmatched in aircraft quality but at least well within my lines, I can't believe how the combat played out. This. This is why I love WOFF UE.

Anyone know who the Allied Ace in the green plane was?

Finally got upgraded from my old EI to a shiny new EIII with its superior firepower but the Allies are upgrading too and starting to fly their N11s in force. I am closing in on 100 flying hours for Michael Strauss but I also cannot be a coward and run from the Entente. These are the kinds of missions that add unbelievable stress when flying for hours instead of kills.

High altitude, loss of most control surfaces, dropping like a rock from the sky...

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 11/01/18 06:16 AM

Despite the gloomy weather today, HMA Happy has managed to keep the spirits up in the lead of B Flight. The enemy came out in force, but we fought back - the pair of BE2s under our escort didn't make it (one got shot down, the other rammed by an Albatros), but our own RNAS Detached Sqdn pilots did well, claiming 7 enemy fighters for no losses (only me getting a little shaken up by a close flak burst, and my wingman lightly wounded). The war goes on...

Yeah, I didn't enjoy my last Halberstadt career very much - they're a fine airplane to fly, but combat is another question. Underpowered is their middle name!

On my Tripe at the moment, the main problem I seem to be having with them is that I can't blip my engine enough not to overshoot them constantly when trying to finish them off biggrin

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 11/06/18 04:18 AM

Fortunately, I have yet to meet a Tripe. I can’t handle a well flown N17. But if I can survive another fortnight, there’s an Albatros DIII on the way.
Posted By: CCIP

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 11/06/18 08:59 PM

Nieups can be deadly, wouldn't underestimate them - they can really get you in a maneuver fight (this is true even in the Albatros) and are light enough to outclimb you. But usually in a Halberstadt, I could at least dive away from them pretty effectively. No such luck with Pups and especially Triplanes, though - and the Tripe can even out-turn and out-climb the Nieuports easily, while still having heaps more power than any of the German fighters of the time!
Posted By: Nowi

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 11/08/18 09:49 PM

I tried out diving the 17s. I know from my concurrent French campaign that they can’t do more than about 225km without risking damage. But it’s hard to push a Halberstadt past 225 even with full throttle, short of going nearly vertical. The ac is soooooo draggy! And the problem when you do go vertical is then what? You’re on the hard deck and he’s still above you, spiraling down. To escape you need to dive and extend.

Dax Bonnassie into the attack! L'Homme Protectif has completed 240 sorties, and now has 71 aerial victories. Monsieur Mercure has grown to love Le Scooter--the Nieuport, now a 23. It's only 1 mph slower than a SPAD VII, and far more maneuverable. He started his career in the Vosges is September 1915. It's now April 1917, so he's survived eighteen months at the front. I did resurrect him three times; all three were deaths caused by collisions with friendly machines while flying under AI control at 12x.

This is by far my most successful WOFF career.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 11/18/18 11:09 PM

I've been flying Caudron G4 careers now that I feel more comfortable with how the flight model and damage model works. I've flow five sorties at 6.5 hours total and filed three claims. the aggravating thing is that the first two victims had multiple witnesses but fell in the No Man's Land or crashed in German territory. Finally, on my third attempt at combat, I managed to get a confirmed victory that fell behind French lines AND had witnesses.

the Aviatik can be very dangerous. I've found that a quick burst of machine gun fire from one of them can rip off half of the Caudron's upper wing and is an almost instant death sentence. so I've avoided using the stern gunner position to make attacks! I use the Caudron's competitive speed to stalk enemy planes in the blind spot beneath their six o'clock position. with the first two battles they lasted roughly ten minutes to fifteen minutes each.

the third victim only took about eight minutes.

now I tend to fly the machine into a good position and jump into the observer's station WITHOUT activating the auto-pilot. the auto-pilot tends to want to fly AWAY from the enemy. the auto-level flight feature tends to be too rigid, and I don't have as long to fire. it also tends to pitch sharply when setting up so I avoid it. worse, yet, it also means you're a sitting duck if that Aviatik wants to take evasive action.

I'm also a big fan of the early war campaign. I was having fun dropping bombs on a German locomotive the other day. I like the way this Caudron career is going... hopefully I won't get killed and the "Bad Luck" will be for the Germans that cross my path! I've found a fun new custom skin idea that I think works well with Escadrille 13. I figured it would be fun to put "13" in black and add a black cat as well. now that I realize just how dainty and vulnerable the Caudron is... I'm going to try and see how long I can make this one last. the original skin is by the OBD team. all I did was add a drawing of a cat I made years ago and give it a name.

I am finally finding some time to fly WOFF UE again. It is partially my busy life's fault, but also partially WOTRs fault. OBD has done a really good job with WOTR and I have been enjoying it a lot at the expense of WOFF UE flight time. Here are a few new pics of many I took last night of a new Campaign mission in the Felixstowe area. I am hoping to make a pictorial AAR soon to share. This is just a tease. winkngrin

I'm going to be trying out a Pfalz D.IIIa career with Jasta 20. I'll have a mediocre airplane as part of a terrible squadron... where I'll mostly be facing up against aircraft better than mine. after a fiery Sopwith Pup career (both literally and figuratively) I think it might be interesting to play a pilot with the opposite approach (be very, VERY careful. avoid fights if you can help it)

the aircraft skin shown here is based on the excellent work of the OBD team.

I liked the balance of terrain, buildings, and the locomotive with the aircraft in this snapshot.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 03/26/19 08:30 PM

if you have a skinning program like Gimp you can also use a smudge tool to hide it a little if you need the area where the text is. If you look on some of my pictures you will see spots that have been smudged. The MG gunners in the ground shot above have some lighter colored areas where they are sitting. That is the yellow target view circle that I smudged. Anyone know how to take a target view screenshot that doesn't have the yellow circle on it?

Glad your enjoying the ground shots Ace Med. Sometimes I spend more time trying to get shots than I do flying, but its lots of fun.

Thanks Sand B. I appreciate the help. First though, I'm going to have to figure out what all that means and how to do it. Then there are some corrections and improvements I will need to make on the skins so they will be more completely accurate. I'll get back in touch. JB

Back again. read about zipping a folder. Looks simple I'll see about the Dropbox app as well, don't know which I'll go with. I'll experiment. May be a week or two before I can get the skins just the way I want them so I don't embarrass myself.

Jerbear, I drew those profiles for the Jasta 23b book. If you want the actual images I drew to use for skins, which would be a higher quality than scans from the book, just let me know.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/05/19 09:50 PM

Hello gents',

Been tweaking the SweetFX settings file over the last few days (from the Bucksnort JSGME SweetFX mod) for my WOFFue install, and thought I'd post a few screenies here to refresh the thread - framerates are holding up well even with SweetFX enabled and I'm getting better sharpness and greener grass. Might zip up the tweak and post it over on the CombatAce downloads section for those interested in loading greener pastures in WOFFue. (Note to those running AMD cards - turn off all terrain and cloud shadows if using SweetFX...this gets rid of flickering. It's fine to leave aircraft shadows on however. The default AnKor shaders are a bit more friendly towards cloud/terrain shadows on AMD cards than SweetFX, but I'd rather sacrifice some shadows for the greater crispness that the SweetFX mod gives me.)

Happy flying,
Von S smile2

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/05/19 10:45 PM

Nice photos gentlemen smile

I think the thing with external enhancers (SweetFx, Reshade, etc) is that adjustments are very subjective. What I like about Reshade is being able to make adjustments and tweaks in-game on the fly - and seeing immediately their impact. Gosh though, it can be quite absorbing and hard to let go though, LOL. Spent hours tweaking both IL2-1946 and WOFF UE with Reshade. Anyway, here is a shot or two of my attempt to get quite realistic color, lighting, and effects using Reshade - but again, it is all a matter of individual perception. Hope they show up as I never have uploaded in here before...

Thanks for sharing your great screenshots guys. smile

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/05/19 11:00 PM

Very nice pics. there Redwolf, and subtle lighting and shadow effects. I tried getting ReShade to run but it gives me CTDs (specifically the CFS3.exe crashes) in WOFFue, so I went with the JSGME-friendly version of SweetFX instead. The CTDs may be specific in my case since I'm in BootCamp on a Mac Pro (2013), with the AMD Fire Pro card (two of them, crossfired) - so those not running an AMD card may have more luck with ReShade. Anyway, those interested in loading the SweetFX tweaks will be able to find a link to the package near the bottom of my long post under the "WOFFue on a Mac" thread - the link should be up in a day or two once CombatAce approves the file. (A couple of "before" and "after" pics with SweetFX included below, with fall colors this time.)

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/06/19 11:52 PM

Vons, Love your FM tweaks on many of the planes, but a bit much saturation in your Sweet Fx settings for me. Each to his own. It is funny but after the last update Sweet Fx gives me a CTD and I had to remove it.
Here are some pics from a recent night mission. I also posted some in the main WOFF UE screenshots thread in the Screenshots & Video thread .

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/07/19 05:36 AM

Hello Blade, glad you're enjoying the FM tweaks. In terms of SweetFX, I'm still running ver. 4.18 of WOFFue (once I get patched up to 4.23 I will report back if there are any problems with SweetFX). ReShade I never could get running with WOFFue.

Been testing my SweetFX settings further and while they still have the green pasture saturated look, for those interested, subtle changes can be included if you modify the numbers under "Bloom Settings" in the fx settings file to read, for example, as:

#define BloomThreshold 36.00
#define BloomPower 2.546
#define BloomWidth 0.0342

Those values decrease bloom effects a bit more (by about 10 or 15%) than in the settings file included with my current tweaks package.

Also possible is to disable bloom effects entirely by entering 0 instead of 1 for the "#define USE_BLOOM" entry under "Choose effects" in the settings file.

Representative pics below of more subtle bloom (first two pics), and no bloom (last two pics). Obviously results will vary from setup to setup and monitor to monitor - as always, tweak to taste.

My slightly saturated tweaks are largely an experiment to get greener grass in WOFFue and extra sharpness/detail - I can now spot those sneaky fences from half a mile away. biggrin

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/07/19 04:54 PM

That is looking better, VonS

I am in the opposite situation - Sweetfx once upon a time worked for me, but hasn't for a long while and it borks my game install. But now that I have Reshade going, there is no going back anyway (I like it a lot better). I use a modified/tweaked HDR setting with it instead of bloom. Don't remember if HDR was available with Sweetfx.

Happy Hunting all. smile

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/07/19 08:02 PM

v4.18 works but the shaders in patch v4.22+ have been altered, so if you change then its bye bye sweetFX.
I'm using Reshade too. Its fine. Just got to figure out the color adjustments for me.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/18/19 06:37 AM

Lovely pics gents' - been tinkering further with my WOFFue install (ver. 4.18) in BootCamp on the Mac Pro and pleased to report that cloud density and cloud shadow values in the relevant d3d8 ini files can be turned on - flickering is caused only if terrain shadows are set to 1 (or higher) with SweetFX enabled, and if set to 2 (or higher) with the standard AnKor shaders in place. I therefore recommend if running WOFFue on a Mac with an AMD card or two, to set terrain shadows to 0, but toggle cloud density and scale to taste (I run mine at a value of 3 and haven't noticed any major hits on frame rates; the other wonderful thing about enabling cloud density and cloud shadows is that ground shadows are then present for aircraft, not only shadows on the aircraft itself). Also been tweaking my settings file further for SweetFX to give only about 10% bloom, with values for the bloom section of:

#define BloomThreshold 29.00
#define BloomPower 2.846
#define BloomWidth 0.0382

Representative pics below, of scattered and cloudier weather. By the way, the Se5 (early a variant?) is lovely to fly - I need to explore the type further, haven't had much stick time in it until now.

Happy flyng all,

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/21/19 04:07 AM

Great pics gents' - keep em' coming. Pleased to report that I've simplified the SweetFX tweaks of the Bucksnort FX mod by uploading a "subtle bloom" and "no bloom" settings file, for convenience (the link can be found by navigating to the bottom of my long post under the WOFFue on a Mac thread). Should work well for those running WOFFue specifically on a Mac, and with AMD cards - also on Windows rigs with AMD. Eventually I will test with the ver. 4.23 patch of WOFFue to see if SweetFX runs well on it too (might have to fiddle with the settings files and/or d3d8 ini files, since ReShade is a no-go on my rig). Will post relevant results here once I set up a newer ver. of WOFFue (although I have to admit that I like the "deadly trees and fences" ver. 4.18 - very scary if your engine conks out in the middle of nowhere yep). Obligatory screenies below with the "subtle bloom" settings file in place.

Ver. 4.24 also works fine on the Mac as indicated in my other post here on the WOFF threads - with no terrain shadow flickering even at max settings on the AMD card, although SweetFX and ReShade are now a no-go on the Mac. Possibly SweetFX will become compatible again in the future. In the meantime I've got two WOFF installs running so that I can enjoy shadows and crisp textures, depending on taste.

Been trying out an Escadrille N 75 campaign. Started in August 1916 and went Captain to get my mitts on a Noop 17. Feels a bit ridiculous to be fighting nothing but Eindeckers in that thing. So far the fronts been nasty and wet for both missions. First one bagged me an Eindecker over german lines and the second one I didn't see even one boche. Was pretty spooky when our RecoNoop 12s engine went out on the way home and he just kind of glided it in. Pretty glorious flying with some post-rock ambiance in the background.

Uhhh...wow!
You probably explained it earlier but I can’t find it.
What are we doing to get such graphics?
Posted By: VonS

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/27/19 07:16 AM

@Adger, glad you're liking the screenies, yours are always top-notch, desktop wallpaper quality
@all, wonderful shots everyone, keep them coming
@Duke, we are doing the following to get such crisp graphics:

1. running ver. 4.18 of WOFFue
2. running the Bucksnort SweetFX mod (JSGME-enabled)
3. running my "subtle bloom" sweetfx settings file in the Bucksnort mod, available in the bottom post, after the pictures, at:

https://combatace.com/forums/topic/93424-sweetfx-tweak-for-woffue-for-bucksnort-sweetfx-package/

I also recommend grabbing my other files here, before loading the subtle bloom file from the link above:

https://combatace.com/files/file/17037-sweetfx-tweak-for-woffue-for-bucksnort-sweetfx-package/

4. running the following settings in the compositetexturebudgets.xml file located under OBDWW1/terrains, as per my WOFFue on a Mac thread:

<Budgets PatchPixelDim="512" MinPatchDimUseThumb="4096">

for all of the different "Rings" level entries in compositetexturebudgets.xml, use the following for crisper graphics when in low-alt dogfights or for sightseeing:

<Ring PatchWorldDim="32768" RingDim="3" MinMaskRadius="65536"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="16384" RingDim="4" MinMaskRadius="53248"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="8192" RingDim="4" MinMaskRadius="40960"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="4096" RingDim="4" MinMaskRadius="24576"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="2048" RingDim="6" MinMaskRadius="12288"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="1024" RingDim="6" MinMaskRadius="6144"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="512" RingDim="6" MinMaskRadius="4096"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="256" RingDim="8" MinMaskRadius="1536"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="128" RingDim="8" MinMaskRadius="768"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="64" RingDim="8" MinMaskRadius="384"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="32" RingDim="8" MinMaskRadius="128" DetailTileCount="6"/>

5. running the "LOD Bias" value for the video card at -1 instead of the default of 0

Those who are running ReShade on ver. 4.24 of WOFFue might be able to reduplicate such settings too - ReShade is a no-go on my Mac unfortunately - but I'm hoping that SweetFX will eventually become compatible with the newer shaders in the latest WOFFue updates.

Representative screenies below (of ver. 4.18 with the tweaks listed in this post).

Have you tried reshade? - you can do some really good natural lighting, HDR, and color tweaks with it - it might work for you (if sweet fx doesn't (that was my situation - sweet fx doesn't work, but reshade does - though reshade is the more intensive tweak, go figure). Love the screenshots guys! some really great stuff!

.@ Fenin as Redwolf mentions Reshade works flawlessly with WOFF and WOTR..I use just 4 settings and I don't get any Fps
drops ,the 4 I use are Clarity..Technicolor..Curves and Lift gamma gain. It's incredibly easy to set up..it basically gives you a tutorial at the start.

I made a few posts about it so if you want to try and you get stuck il try help the best I can pal.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/28/19 04:37 PM

Got reshade to work with minimal hassle. Thanks for suggesting it. Messed around with a bunch of shaders and got an image I think I like. I think the only graphical complaint I have about WOFF is that its grainy. Though, you can play with that instead of against it and you can come out ahead. Best, I feel, to see it as a style option that you work around than as a dated graphical system.

WOFF is toned to give a realistic slightly washed look as most things in life are when out in the sun etc using mark I eyeballs, with haze and sky reflections etc desaturating slightly etc. Of course I know people will be running on different calibrated monitors and have personal preferences and so on, but even so some pics late in this thread are very whacky to me wink

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/28/19 06:02 PM

They are, you're not wrong. I quite like it though, but I have always been a little strange. I was very much aiming for a kind of over saturated look. I did a dogfight in that B.E.12 against an E.II shortly after that and man was he ever visible when head on. The white eindecker skin almost vanished when he turned on me once with the sun behind him though. It was almost like he turned on cloaking.

Then I put a .303 into his gas tank... and he... yeah. He didn't survive that. The B.E.12 is so strange. It's... not slow? I felt like I had every Eindecker I've messed with in QC absolutely out powered. I just wish the gunsight wasn't designed for a cowboy doing hip shooting.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/28/19 06:27 PM

@Fenin - glad you got it up and running - it allows you to tweak so much if you choose. I just love how you can make adjustments and immediately see them in real time as you go with reshade. A real boon! WOFF already has very nice shaders to begin with (but it so wonderful to be able to enhance them!) - but take it to something like IL-2 1946 (which doesn't have very good shaders at all relatively) - and then throw in reshade - and BOOM. Great stuff.

@OVS @Pol - thank you very much! smile OVS - your skins are already amazing and that one is a real beaut! I have been trying to aim for as natural and realistic lighting and color as I can get (though that is subjective). Glad you like the shot, and again wonderful job on the skins! And what a beautiful sim this truly is - really atmospheric and simply sublime! Thanks for that Mark (and Mark). smile

@Adger - thanks for steering me to reshade to begin with and help me get it started! S! I used your starting settings but tweaked them a bit to my taste, but also added ambient light and some gentle HDR and whatnot. Love your shots - very clean, mood envoking - and they look great!

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/28/19 08:32 PM

Yeah, it sure does make a difference Redwolf, thank you! I've been messing with it more, as I suspect that's fairly common for people who get stuff like that up and running. Just gotta tweak it... and tweak it... and tweak it...

Was taking aim for a very bright, very saturated, sort of cartoonish look. Sort of like Borderlands, an almost cell shaded kind of feel to it. I don't think I got it, but I did get this and I'm MUCH happier with it. Buildings pop out visually in the woods, with really thick outlines. Aircraft pop a lot too, and it makes the warm times of year feel even warmer. I had to look about in winter too, of course.

I'm very much of the mind that realism is overrated when it comes to visuals. There will always be a difference, and while I do heavily appreciate trying to achieve a realistic look from my experience and to my eyes a more stylized look tends to age better. Even taking something like DCS which I can run in 4k at 100+ fps, it can be beautiful but will it still be in 5 years? The new Microsoft flight sims trailer is gorgeous in comparison, almost as if it was pre-rendered and not in game footage. Just the other day (12 years ago!) I remember thinking that TES IV: Oblivion looked better than real life.

Cheers Redwolf and great shots as always by all..A few here the 1st and 3rd pics are stock WOFF Colours and the 2nd and 4th 5th and 6th ones are Reshade. All taken at 1440p and showing some of the brilliant Jasta skins (Thanks OVS and others)..Dont forget the free skin pack download from the main downloads page lads and also theres some on the Mod page on this site. Great thing about Reshade is..its so easy to tinker and mess around with it unti your happy with your settings do be warned though..Some settings can eat into your FPS.

I recommend downloading every skin possible,it adds so much immersion to the Sim. Also..Thanks OBD the colouring in Stock WOFF is supurb i just personnally use Reshade in 90% of my games.

Is there a chance you could do a write-up on how to get it working with WOFFUE, and the tweaks you used to get it looking so realistic?

You guys really make this sim look amazing!

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/29/19 04:04 AM

Reshade was pretty easy for me to get setup. Go download it, start the setup, point it towards the woff executable file and make sure its set to dx9. Then once that's all done I just jumped in a QC mission and let it load into the mission. The default key to open it up to mess with stuff is the home key. Don't... Don't try to open it too early tho. I tried opening it while it was still loading in the first time and it really didn't seem to like that. I ended up having to do a system restart to get woff to close properly. Oh, and remember to download all the shaders when it asks. Kinda the whole point, eh?

It's got a ton of different shader options, including one that I think you can use to set up psuedo vr? I'm not sure how it works, but it does the mirrored screen jazz with a slight offset. If we have anyone with a vr headset maybe they could test that out?

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 09/23/19 09:33 PM

Excellent pics Jeanba and others - keep them coming. Busy with work currently but hope to fly soon and post some screenies. The 180hp Spad 7 is a good aircraft and sturdy in a dive - also slightly more maneuverable than the Spad 13 variants, although I don't advise prolonged turn-and-burn fighting with it. Also watch landings with it since it has a fairly long roll, much like the 220hp rare variant.

Happy flying,

You ever read “High in the Empty Blue” which is the history of 56 Squadron? One of my favorite books by the way.
Anyway the amount of malfunctions experienced with the Se5 in its first two months by them, in all categories, is frankly astounding. Especially with the weapons. Amazing they shot down anyone.

5 January 1917 with 60 Squadron in a N16.
After having my little bird vomit its oil on my windscreen the previous day (causing a forced landing just past NML) I was assigned a Balloon Busting mission. As the plane could not be recovered so close to the front I had hoped to get a N17 but no such luck,
I didn't check my loadout prior to takeoff but I guess the armorer figured I needed rockets. Note to self: Figure out the command to fire said rockets before entering combat.
Anyway on my second pass with my trusty Lewis the Hun sausage began to smoke before bursting into flames on my third.

Flight with Jasta 11 heading off to the front. Ended up in a wild dogfight (hence no pics) with a Spad at low level, with him being slippery as a snake trying to evade me, but I finally got him. Unfortunately "Unconfirmed by Army means unconfirmed.'

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/20/19 09:43 AM

Having graduated to occasional Flight Leader I lead "B" Flight of 60 Squadron over the lines for a jaunt against the Huns on 22 January 1917 about 5 miles behind the lines.
One subject in Flight Leader School I must have missed was to avoid dogfights in the clouds during a snowstorm. I collide with my foe sustaining damage. Not sure what happened to him.
I recovered from the spin and found, at full throttle with maximum rudder and bank, I could fly level (sort of) and had to steer with the elevator with very minor altitude corrections with the rudder! I thought this was especially cool as I have read a historical account of a pilot having to do the same thing. Rickenbacker after losing wing fabric in a N28? How about that for a damage model eh?
Anyway, once recovering my wits, I began to ponder how in the world I was going to land at full throttle and all canted about in a some field. Figured I wasn't but if I was going to die I may as well get a decent burial by doing so in friendly territory. My boys, no doubt already planning on dividing up my gear, escort me across the lines to watch the fun. Crossing NML I choose what appears to be the largest open area and aim for it. Try cutting back on my throttle a bit to at least have a chance of surviving but cannot as the nose quickly drops. So, putting back on the gas, I try to "land" as flat and slow as possible. A smash-up follows of course complete with bloody goggles. Took a pic then exited to attend my funeral but reports of my death were premature. Hopefully when I return from the hospital in two weeks the February weather will be much nicer .

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/20/19 10:13 AM

Great story Duke,

had some of such landing attemps myself. Surviving things like that is a much bigger reward that any kill one makes. You will also find out that the DM is probably more forgiving because of being much more finetuned regarding the pilot, what he survives and what not.
Only thing I would recommend to you, when flying rotaries, is to use the blip switch, not the throttle. and if the throttle, then only certain numbers, not the lever.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/20/19 10:43 AM

Thanks Creaghorn and it’s funny you mention the blip switch as I just looked up the command yesterday and was trying to figure where to assign the command. Think I may be out of buttons though!
Half of my favorite flyables are rotaries so I figured I would try to join the party.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/20/19 10:43 AM

100% agree with Creaghorn. Historically, it seems that some rotary throttles had limitations.
Posted By: mvp7

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/20/19 12:02 PM

I often end up using throttle with rotary for landings, although occasionally (when the mood strikes) I land with full throttle and and the blip switch. In dogfights I use blip switch extensively to maneuver and manage my speed and I find myself missing it when I'm flying non-rotaries.

Here's a pic from my current campaign (Jasta 7, February 1917) to not go completely off topic:

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/20/19 12:07 PM

Since everyone has a reason for everything why Jasta 7?
And does anyone ever use the “totally everything random” pilot generation feature in the Pilot Creation Screen?
Posted By: mvp7

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/20/19 12:32 PM

I usually hand pick my squadron and starting date. The main criteria for my choice of unit is usually that hey have interesting and varying selection of aircraft.

I originally started in Jasta 17 because it had nice progression in plane types from late 1916 onward (Including the early Fokker D-types). However they had me flying Fokker E.III even when I was the top scoring pilot of the unit and that ended up almost ending my career as I was badly beaten in a dogfight by Strutter.

After six weeks in French military hospital (and completely missing the brief period where Fokker D-types were in use) I sought transfer to Jasta 7. The main reasons were that they had Abatros D.Is and D.IIs and I liked the unit's color scheme (turns out it's not used before June 1917 though).

So far in this campaign I have finished 47 missions and I have flown Fokker E.III, Halberstadt D.II, Halberstadt D.III, Albatros D.I and Albatros D.II so far. I just requested transfer to newly formed Jasta 29 as they have early Albatros D.IIIs for middle and high ranks to fly and they are positioned in a part of the front I have not been to before.

Makes good sense, mvp7.

Duke, I'm surprised you haven't been using the blip switch before this, it's yet another level of immersion. Just remember to use it judiciously as you can load up the cylinders with raw fuel which could cause a fire. As for other throttle settings on the rotaries, they do vary depending on type and year. Some had no throttle settings at all apart from full on, while others had one, two, or three different rpm settings you could run at. Some would allow you to cut out 3 or 6 cylinders for short periods of time to give you 2/3 or 1/3 power respectively, while others had a limited range of mixture adjustment you could fiddle with in flight. Still, the blip switch was the main control for most of them.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/20/19 12:52 PM

There’s a feature I’ve never used: Request Transfer. Mainly because I tailor my careers at the start for time, unit, aircraft, and location. Probably why I end up in the same 5-6 squadrons/Jastas.
You’ve kind of inspired me. I may try the “totally random” pilot feature. Always wanted to try a “real two-seater career” to learn to bomb and see what the missions are like then maybe use the transfer feature. Give me an excuse to (hopefully) start in a Fee and not the Quirk. The b-model Fee of course! smile
Posted By: DukeIronHand

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/20/19 12:57 PM

You are correct Lou. I’ve kind of slagged off on the blip switch mainly for “ease of joystick settings.”
I may get back to my “one career only” thing and remap some buttons. And which rotaries are what with power settings is another excuse I have told myself.
And you timing is impeccable. I’m guessing your bombsight mod should work with PE?

Yes Duke, I am fairly certain that Jara's updated version of my original mod that is available on Mike's mod download page should be fully compatible with PE. I would try it as a stand-alone first just to make sure, then see if it plays nice with the other mods you normally have installed.

Posted By: Creaghorn

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/20/19 01:22 PM

Also in the FAQ's

21) *Gameplay* ‘Rotary Engine blip’ function – how to use in WOFF.For those who want to fly it realistically and it’s fun too  you can use the B key (default setting) in flightto blip your engine off temporarily;Of course for those who want, they can fly rotaries, using throttle like in previous versions of ‘OFF’, butthat is not realistic and not how it was. Or to add a joystick button too. To do this ;1. Map the "B" key via the tool in Workshop. In Workshop click “Re Map Keys”. The Wings: Over FlandersFields Function Bindings tool should open.2. Now in the tool top right under Filter Functions selectEngineControls from the drop down menu.3. Next look down the keys that appear in the 2nd column from the left.4. Find the “Rotary Engine Blip” key (which by default is assigned to the “B” key) and select it.5. Now a re-assign binding window appears. Instead of a key, press a button (not your usual triggerbutton of course, but another spare button).6. Now the blip will be on the “B” key AND the joystick button you chose.7. If you now fly a rotary engine aircraft (example Sopwith Camel), you no longer would use the throttlelever anymore when flying rotaries. Inline engine aircraft cannot be used with the blip switch and use anormal throttle.8. Once you have started the engine (E), you can hit the 0 key (zero) to set your engine at 100% throttle.The engine roars up, but while you keep the blip button pressed, the engine is interrupted. Then whenyou release the button again, it roars up again to 100%. Now using the blip switch you can control taxi-speed, landing-speed, you can use it for manouvering etc. Many rotary engines were Full on or OFF, witha blip switch to temporarily kill the engine power.If you press it for too long, depending on AC, your engine might die and need restarting (use the ‘E’ key)There are some rotaries where you had also partial throttles so rather than 100% power always + blip ,you could also set them to say ¼, ½, ¾ power. i.e. reduce the overall power and then still blip it down. InWOFF you can use the top row keyboard numbers and select 1, 4, 7 or 0, for engine basic settings only to mimic this, but best would be for the beginning just using 0 for 100%.Have fun. Especially while landing.

I finally got around to adapting one of my favorite old-time Red Baron 3D skins into the Wings Over Flanders Fields game. obviously all of the original artwork was done by the OBD crew. I was thinking of making up a new imaginary Japanese pilot to fly with France and see how long I can last. I find that I'm less likely to go 'crazy' in a campaign if I like how my airplane looks. ;-)

I know that the new Platinum Edition is out... but I guess I still plan to get some more miles out of the Ultimate Edition for awhile. I've been working so much that I haven't really had as much time to fly as I'd like

right now the Nieuport 11 feels a bit like a "One Kill Wonder". it does everything better and faster than the Fokker Eindecker… including running out of ammo!

I use it. Made a french pilot, got assingned to a recce/bomber squad in 1915. Did some recce missions, a few bombing runs. Now i take bombs for recce and try drop them on enemy airfields, maybe not a hiatorical approach but more fun for me. Still i requested a transfer to a fighter squadron, waiting for a positive response😉

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 10/29/19 09:10 AM

Don’t know about all Squadrons/Esc (with bomb weight being a huge factor with these aircraft) but, reportedly, the Fee squadrons, even the “fighter” units, often carried bombs on patrol for targets of opportunity.
Been watching the BBC series “Wings” so I am definitely going to start me a early war two-seated career - almost certainly in a Fe2b. Gotta figure out the bomb sights.

Better hurry up Mortuus or the war will be over by the time you get here.
January 1915 flying with 4 Squadron during a bombing attack of a German rail yard.
One lesson learned is that the old Be under load is not a Stuka and I damage my plane during the descent making the plane difficult to control. Or maybe I was getting near stall speed after the level out.
Anyway bombs dropped but more practice is indicated though I did damage some outbuildings.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 11/01/19 10:24 PM

Continuing with Two-seater Friday I fire up 42 Squadron on April 4 1917. The job is photo recon of the German trench line but I, channeling my inner Fee, take along two 112 lb bombs for targets of opportunity.
This chance soon arrives as a Hun airfield heaves into view. At an altitude of 5,000' I switch to the bombsight view but find the plane tricky to fly. First bomb detonates near the hangers causing damage. Seconds later I realize the second bomb didn't drop and quickly kick it loose. Because the RFC is blessed from on high this bomb lands on the airfield perimeter destroying a plane, ready for take-off I didn't even see. He's burning just off my right wingtip. Huzzah! However, like kicking a bees nest, 3 or 4 planes take off but they can't catch up.
Back at my field I am asked to submit a Claim Form for the destroyed aircraft however, the love for the RFC does not extend to me., and the claim is rejected as I had to guess at the plane type and guessed wrong. Oh well. Photos taken.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 12/22/19 07:04 AM

Let's bump up the screenies thread again gents' - very pleased to report that WOFF Platinum Edition is buzzing along beautifully in BootCamp on the Mac Pro (2013 model). Cloud scale/density can be freely doubled to a value of 6 now, and ground shadows can be safely set to at least a value of 2 - on ATI cards. No shadow flickering whatsoever, lovely.

Also recommended are the budget scenery and budget texture file tweaks that are posted under the relevant section of the long WOFF-on-a-Mac post, the higher-quality texture info. (not the stuff for WineSkin). Also great to try out are similar, higher-density tree/landscape variants posted under the relevant thread by Panama Red. I'm getting framerates of about 80 with the level-3 and level-4 tweaks by Panama Red. My own tweaks thin out the trees slightly but give me a bump of about 20 fps or so - will tinker perhaps with PR's level-4 or level-3 tweak but thinning out the trees slightly to see what happens.

Overall, the PE ed. of WOFF is a work of art and works just fine on the Mac - a great flight (and landscaping) simulator. Dogfights are plenty smooth and exciting, even more so than in the UE ed. I'd say. Currently testing threshold levels of -2 and -3 for individual fighter-on-fighter settings in the simulation.xml file - but the dogfights are intense even at stock settings. Also great are the newer visuals/shaders, sharp enough, and with greener grass, that I don't miss SweetFX at all in the PE edition. Pics. below are with my budget scenery/texture tweaks from the long Mac thread. The clouds are the optional/extra ones from the BuckeyeBob package (they work fine in the PE ed. of WOFF).

Some tips for Mac BootCamp users: Continue running the WOFF.exe in Win7 compatibility mode, for best results. Also, if upgrading from ver. 4.18 of WOFF make a backup first of the "facilities" folder, in the main WOFF directory, of ver. 4.18 - before upgrading. Then, after upgrading, copy all files in the older facilities folder, move over and paste into the new facilities folder in the PE edition - adding any missing facility files (do not replace any identical/newer files already in place in the PE ed. facilities folder). This will get rid of any "WOFF could not write to such and such an aerodrome xml file" type errors once PE starts to load.

Now to insall WOTR and take it for a spin too.

Happy holidays,
Von S smile2

SKIN OF THE MONTH, JANUARY, 2020


Beginning in this new year, I thought it might be interesting to everyone to spotlight some of the excellent skins from the basic game and the WOFF Official Aircraft Skin Pack.

There are so many that you may never even see some of them unless you fly with that particular unit or encounter it in a scrap. Then, only seeing it fleetingly unless you stop to take a screenshot.

I also thought it would not be amiss to acknowledge those who put so much of their life blood into making these carefully researched, expertly painted and textured works of art.

I PM’d Schredward about who the creators were, and he replied with this:

Makai and Stachel collaborated on the DR1 and DVII skins; Stachel did the DIII, the RE8, BE2 and the F2b. Makai did the Alb DII, Halberstadt, Roland, DFW, Bristol Scout, Pfalz. The Finn did the Alb DV and SPAD DVII and Sandbagger did the SPAD XIII, the Noops, Camel, SE5 and added skins to some of the other types. And some of the skins were left over or reworked from Rabu.

To start, I would like to put the RNAS-9 Camel of Harold Francis Stackard on display. I got the idea for doing a SKIN OF THE MONTH feature when I had a fatal encounter with this Camel while flying a Pfalz with Jasta 30 and was impressed with the beauty of this little beast that was pumping virtual lead into my virtual backside.
As to the man this skin represents: Fl. Sub-Lt. Stackard transferred into the RNAS in Oct. 1916. After completing his training he spent eight months on the Western Front with the RNAS-9, Roy Brown’s outfit. I can’t find anything about his decorations, but being wounded and credited with 15 aerial victories there must have been some.

It being a Camel, I will presume it's to be Sandbagger who should take a bow for this one. [Linked Image] [Linked Image] [Linked Image] [Linked Image] [Linked Image]

Hello,

Those images are just some test shots to see what would happen if I added some extra browns and yellows to the base terrain, how would it look in the game. It does seem to help some, however I am still digging under the hood to understand what is happening, so not able to share just yet.

Hopefully within the next 2 weeks I will have something to upload so some people can test to see if it works on their system. One good thing that I have found is that it is harder to track the AI planes as they tend to blend in the the terrain.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 04/20/20 02:39 PM

I had to start a new career as my RFC 60 squadron jaunt ended in a spiralling fall from several thousand feet and finally my Nieuport and I becoming forever entangled.

I've started another campaign now with 54 Squadron (a popular choice on here looking at other people's posts) flying Pups. I'm doing well and into February 1917, and what I thought would be a routine take off from Chipilly airfield. It was routine until I saw half the bloomin' Luftstreitkrafte coming towards me!!! (Slight exaggeration but you get my drift).

I had no option but to engage them with my flight and what ensued was the most amazing dogfight I've ever had in 30 years of playing flight sims.... absolutely brilliant....

I managed to bag two of the Albatros scouts (although it remains to see if I get credit for both banghead )

This sim has just paid for itself with that jaunt! winner

Thanks

Great pictures Adger, showing the graphics off in all their glory. That airfield looks like a deathtrap with all that ice and with the sun low down it looks positively freezing.

The pictures of balloons and people falling out of aircraft makes me think of the devs maybe combining the two and having people parachuting out of the Observation balloons when they're under attack. That would crank another notch on the realism scale.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 04/30/20 12:35 PM

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/04/20 04:06 PM

Yes you're right, I've already added a few Mods which really add to the experience, but as you say the game looks brilliant anyway.

The Pfalz is a wing warper and like all of those types the roll rate is very poor, however once you're actually in your turn you can feel it's easier than in a Fokker Eindecker. It certainly holds it's height better in a turn than the Fokker.

The only squadron you seem to be able to fly it without starting as a very high rank from the start is FA(A)296b (actually FFA 9b) which is where I started flying the Aviatik and then the Pfalz.

Flying around all those mountains and valleys is certainly a challenge as well.

Cheers

we then carry onto our patrol but no more action was to be found i grab my 1st kill..or so i thought.. claim denied, ah well i survive to fight another day and i hope that tomorrow is a later take-off, these early morning flights are chilling me to the bone.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/05/20 10:15 AM

Great pictures again Adger. So even though you presumably had the great Udet down as a witness your claim was denied! It is very hit and miss the claim system with WOFF. I had one denied in my current campaign where you could still see the bloody smoke from my victim when we landed! It was that close to the airfield! We could have walked over and grabbed any trophy we wanted....but no....the claim was rejected banghead

Yes the Pfalz is good fun. I'd started the campaign with a view to requesting a transfer to FFA62 when that unit becomes fully Fokkered in mid December 1915. However I'm thinking I might stay with the Pfalz instead.

Yeah it is a bit hit and miss and it can be a bit annoying when a definite claim is turned down but I personally like the way OBD have the claim system the way it is, for me it adds to the excitement of hoping that my claim is accepted. Enjoy your Pfalz carreer pal.

@Trooper those pics alone make me shiver pal, imagine what those young men must have gone through at times. Great pics mate.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/05/20 01:02 PM

I agree Trooper, that is a good one. And I will add the following personal narratives from the German point of view:

Any of Haupt Heydemarck's books to include, "Double-Decker C.666", "Flying Section 17", "War Flying in Macedonia"
"An Airman Remembers ", by Hans Schröeder
"My Escape From Donington Hall", by Gunther Plüschow
"Ace of the Black Cross", by Ernst Udet, (contains some propaganda as did most German works from this period)
"Jagdstaffel 356", by M.E. Kahnert, (another pre-WWII propaganda piece and somewhat fictionalized as I recall, but still worth a read)

And for a very unusual point of view try "Stepchild Pilot", by Joseph Doerflinger, (he flew for Germany in WWI and for France immediately after the war)

.
Posted By: Albert Tross

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/05/20 01:08 PM

Yes Adger, I agree, annoying though the claim system might be at times, it's the only sim that even tries to replicate it and I wouldn't have it any other way.

With regards books, I've got Ace of the Black Cross by Udet. It's a good read, not only for his WW1 antics but his work in America stunting.

The fact he froze when faced with his first enemy in his sights is well known. Perhaps less well known is the fact he was once reprimanded for 'endangering one of the Kaiser's aircraft' due to him banking hard in a turn in a two seater. He was thrown in the klink for that one.

Whilst not written by a German pilot, any of Peter Kilduff's works are well worth a read. I've got 'Germanys First Air Force 1914/1918 which is fabulous.....and you can't beat Blue Max by Jack Hunter..... fiction but brilliant.

Lou, I agree with the screensavers idea, I use my shots for that already.

@Albert yep I agree with you 100% regarding the claims it can be a bit annoying but like you I like the uncertainty and the anticipation of a claim being accepted (or denied), and when it is accepted a fist pump and a smile always follows mate.

Ernst led the flight and we formed up and headed upto meet the Rolands unfortunitely either the Rolands or Ernst got there bearings wrong and after searching for them for some time we never saw them..Ernst decided that it was a total waste of time and we all headed back to base. The mood and morale in camp is low at the moment the Jasta are seeing little action, claims are being denied and now we can't even meet up with the bombers..lets hope some heads roll for the latest debacle.

Some great pictures again. I think it was James McCudden who said the DH2 was a very cold aircraft to fly, with the engine at the back, the pilot got no warmth from it at all.

Adger that third picture is great, very atmospheric. What a waste of a mission that turned out to be. I'd have proceeded to treat it like a 'freie jagd' and go out on my own.

Thanks Albert, yep I like the third one myself. The sunrises and sunsets are often beautiful in WOFF they make for some really good shots. I was tempted to go on alone for a while but all those early morning patrols had frozen me solid and all I could think about was a hot drink and a warm bed

That's why God invented Schnaps....and Bratwurst mit Kartoffelchips meine kameraden. To keep us warm.

I succumbed to a transfer to FFA62, how could one miss the opportunity to fly with Boelcke and Immelmann notworthy

On my second sortie with them I spotted a lone BE2. I attacked out of the sun and must have clobbered the pilot because as I came around for a second pass he nosed over and went straight down.

Mission 5..Destroy an enemy Observation balloon that was troubling our forces.

A bit of a later start this morning: We took off at 07.45 and formed up, i was leader for this mission and we climbed altitude to 10,000 ft

I noticed the Obs Balloon from a distance away and dove down on it whilst my flight stayed above to keep an eye out for any enemy. The ground fire was quite ferocious and my craft was hit a couple of times..despite this i had a good big target to aim at and consequently managed to down the balloon. No enemy AC were seen and we had a pleasant flight back to base. My claim went in and was accepted..my 1st kill and a nice silver goblet was presented aswell, all in all a really good morning's work.

Good work and nice pics Adger.

I've been a busy bee with FFA62, we seem to be plagued by Nieuports at the moment, nasty critters who have a tendency to flame your rear if you're not careful.

I did manage to bag one as the first picture shows but as my only witnesses were a herd of cows I'm not overly confident my claim will be confirmed.... especially as 'livestock' is not on the drop-down witness list.

As we passed into New Year 1916 it snowed, snowed and then snowed some more as you can see. However, it allowed for some lovely shadows as we took off.

Thomas Muller Mission 6. Dec 1916 Habsheim airfield in the Alsace region...

An 8:05 takeoff with Ernst Udet once again taking us up, it was warmer this morning and the snow's look like it's melting slowly dark clouds were above and i knew it,d be difficult to spot anyone up there. It was a Sperrflug mission (Intercept) of some aircraft that had been bombing our troops, we were close to the enemy frontlines when Ernst spotted them 1st. (He,s got the eyesight of a hawk)
2 Caudrons were on there way back after there mission, I was instructed to take the left craft of the pair and proceeded to fire my guns..wow it soaked up my ammo but eventually i saw the craft spiral out of control, the pilot was lucky, id hit him and he was slumped dead in the cockpit, the observer/gunner less so he was still alive when i saw him jump out from 3000ft..i sight that will live with me for the rest of my days. the claim was confirmed and i got the credit i also received the "eisernes kreuz" 2 Klasse (Iron cross) but my award is tainted in what i witnessed, i was shaking when i left the cockpit but Ernst was quick with a stiff drink to try calm my nerves....

Some great pictures guys and well done Adger on you're confirmation and award. It must have been terrible to have seen something like that happen. I was only reading something like that last night regarding Kurt Wintgens and one of his kills and him seeing the burning aircraft falling past him and then the observer falling past him.....had he fell? Or had he jumped?

It was only a quick death when you hit the ground, the poor bugger had several seconds to contemplate it all first....doesn't bare thinking about does it eek2

I had a quiet mission this morning, nothing sighted except for the lovely sunbeams. I did have my kill confirmed (yes the one with the cows haha) so that's 7 I've got now and we're up to 16th Jan 1916.

@Albert it really doesn't bare thinking about does it mate and I've read quite a few WW1 books, what those poor young men must have witnessed not just in the air but the horrors of the trenches..mad mate.

I had a quiet couple of days but back in the saddle again today. I had a lone wolf jaunt over Loos and spotted something in the murky distance.....I closed in and quickly made out the less than shapely lines of an FE.

As you can see, it was dispatched with aplomb (well actually it was with a Spandau).

@Great skin Lederhosen,lets hope it doesn't grab too much attention winkngrin

@Albert, Great shots as always and good spotting thru the sun/clouds to spot the FE i could do with you has my flight leader instead of this idiot Udet story below...

Thomas Muller Mission 7... 20th Dec 1916 Habsheim airfield in the Alsace region...

A early patrol over the frontlines was the order for this morning,the heavy rain yesterday that suspended the flights had cleared the last of the snows. It was a absolutely beautiful morning, cold but the sunrise was a sight to behold.
Ernst was again our patrol leader and tensions were frayed after making an idiot of himself last night (He,d been drinking all of yesterday). Instead of the early night he decided to drink until the early hrs and he was like a bear with a sore head when he got his call at 06.15am

I dont know how he managed to take off but i made sure i watched him very carefully and he very nearly clipped the trees to his left hand side during take-off duh Not long after take off i noticed a couple of Caudrons above us. I signalled to Ernst that id spotted them and he looked to see. After a brief moment he signalled to carry on with our objective..I was flabbergasted, i couldn't believe that he wasn't going to get us climbing to meet the target.
[Linked Image]
[Linked Image]

I looked at him with disgust from the cockpit, it's a good job he couldn't hear my obscenities..
We continued to patrol the frontlines and the troops from both sides below were getting a serious pounding. No more opportunities arose during the flight and we landed..i couldn't help myself i jumped down and the mechanics had to keep us apart.
Christmas is coming up and i've never felt so low, it looks like i could be putting in a transfer very soon...

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/13/20 12:52 PM

Oh dear, Adger, so 'knägges' Udet had been nudging the turps and forgot what enemy aircraft looked like. bottles

It's strange how that happens with WOFF, enemy aircraft are high up above your airfield but unless you're assigned a scramble mission, you leave them alone. Of course you don't know what else is lurking up there to jump on you if you start to climb up but even so.... especially as it's your airfield they're pounding!

Well my jaunt with the Luftstreitkrafte in Jan 1916 ended with me getting jumped by Nieuports and one getting a lucky shot in which hit my controls and left me spinning down. Full right rudder and I thought I might just be able to land it, but the angle was too steep and into the ground we went.

I've started a new career and thought I'd try something very different, I've signed up with the US and flying for 103rd in Feb 1918. I'll post some pictures when I get some.

Must fly......... copter

Posted By: Albert Tross

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/14/20 08:53 AM

My first patrol with 103rd and straight away you can feel how different the situation is from early 1916, there seems to be aircraft everywhere and in big formations.

The key to survival now seems to be height, if you're higher than your opponent you've got the biggest advantage straight away. You can see why many of those who were aces back in 1916, struggled somewhat with what they came up against in 1918.

As you can see from the pictures we gained plenty of height before heading off to the lines and we had a large group of aircraft. SPAD VII's.

As we get to the lines I spot a proper melee going on a little below me. I'm in good position to dive in and take out an enemy scout.

The Albatros is slippery and a proper game of scissors is in progress until I'm able to get right behind....from there he's a gonner, he disappears underneath me and the next I saw of him he was a crater in the front lines north of Chalons.

As I take stock all I can see is several enemy crates flying home. I could go after them with the SPAD's speed but they're low and over the front lines. Given past experiences in WOFF, I'm not going to take so many chances.

Brilliant shots and so true regarding going after the Alb,s, when I 1st started flying I'd often break off and go after anything I saw Albert..I soon realised that this often got me in trouble and I lost numerous pilots. I now take less risks and my pilots definitely last longer thumbsup

Thomas Muller Mission 8... 21st Dec 1916 Habsheim airfield in the Alsace region...

We had another dawn mission to patrol just over the lines, we were to protect our recon and artillery recon aircraft and also to attack any ground forces if any opportunity came up.
It was a misty dawn morning and the clouds above were dark and foreboding. We all took off and patrolled our area, no contacts were spotted and there wasn't much going on at ground level aswell..(the ground mist over the patrol area would have made it near impossible to see anyway)..We all landed safely for breakfast and a hot drink.

Lovely shots Adger especially that third one.... amazing sunlight.

I've had a few quiet missions as well, well I say quiet that should be kill'less.

I spotted a formation of Fokker DR1's and dived on the leader. I got hits but nothing fell and that was the last I saw of them as they dived into huge clouds and I thought it best to depart, else I end up like Albert Ball.

I then had a balloon bursting mission. I got the Drachen but I didn't put a claim in.

I finally got another kill in my next mission, spotting a large flight of Albatros scouts and nailing one who went down like a meteor.

Thomas Muller Mission 9... 22nd Dec 1916 Habsheim airfield in the Alsace region...7.55am

A mission to patrol close to the lines, Ernst again took us up and the clouds like the previous day were dark and visibility was low. We circled to altitude and proceeded on our route.
We got within a few miles of the front when Ernst signalled..he,d spotted enemy AC ahead of us, il say this there,s nothing wrong with his eyesight. the number 3 in flight took the left hand foe who took him down a few thousand feet in a spiralling fight.
Both myself and Ernst took on the same target and i got in 1st and peppered the Caudron then Ernst appeared in front of me, what a fool !! i had to quickly bank or we would have both collided..the man's mad the Caudron,s top part of his wing split and our foe tumbled to the ground.
We landed and i managed to grab Ernst and land one on his chin, we both ended up scrapping in the mud and again had to be pulled apart, im sure there's going to be reprimands after this latest incident..Its 3 days until Christmas and my morale along with my nerves are shot. Im going to request some leave and a possible transfer before one of us kills the other.

Well done Adger and great shot of the falling Caudron. Blimey you and Udet seem to be having a bit of bother. I'm assuming he's above you in rank, watch yourself or he'll have you transferred to the kitchens. I think id definitely put in a transfer request.

I thought id share some pictures of my second campaign I've got going on at the moment. It's a completely different pace from Feb 1918. I'm flying for the French in Alsace with MS 49 in August 1915.

The Morane is a funny bird to fly. If it's windy its hard to keep the nose down, it's like flying an umbrella.

Ive had some good missions, bombings and recon. Flying around the mountains of Alsace is great though.

I've managed a scrap with an Aviatik, but the wind was terrible (although that could have been the deep fried escargot in the mess last night sicko )

The Morane haha yeah I've done some flying in the past with this temperamental old bird.".like flying an umbrella " haha I couldn't have put it any better. It's like the cheap plastic footballs I had as a kid ,you'd go for the bottom corner and the wind I'd take it over the bar .love the Alsace region it can be quiet at times but the scenery is often beautiful ..great stuff pal.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/18/20 05:57 PM

Wonderful screenies gents', keep them coming.

@Albert, lovely pics. of the Parasol (I'll have to increase my gloss values slightly in the WOFF menu to see if I can get that same shine on the wings - my glossiness settings are at 5).

@Adger and Albert, it does indeed fly like an umbrella. I will look into combing over its FM for a ver. 6.0 of the FM tweaks pack - top speed on the stock Parasol is around 125 kph near SL (possibly a later model?) - earlier Parasols had even lower speeds of about 112-5 kph. Also, the climb rate will be reduced slightly for the slower variant, and the wing loading increased, among other things. I'll try to look into those tweaks as soon as I find time. At any rate, I'm glad to have transferred from the Parasol into the Bristol Scout C for my RFC1 campaigns in 1915. The Bristol Scout is a beauty, especially when compared with the Parasol's and the Eindecker's flight characteristics.

Von S

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/19/20 08:25 AM

Thanks Von S,

I think my settings are on '8' but if FPS drops I normally lower it to 6.

I know Cecil Lewis was very weary of the Morane when he flew it, according to Sagittarius Rising.

However the first French aces, Gilbert and Pegoud flew it successfully. I've noted on pictures of the time they had a machine gun attached to the top wing (ala Nieuports) which explains how they got their kills. Maybe the devs could include that armaments option in future updates.

The Bristol Scout is a delight to fly and can better an Eindecker with ease, although taking on two seaters with that weird gun setup is a risky business.

I pity poor number 3 Squadron RFC who flew Moranes through into late 1917! Those poor sods must have thought they'd been forgotten about by Trenchard.

Adger, yes I remember those cheap footballs myself. There's no shame requesting a transfer, Udet did it himself when he left Gontermann's Jasta.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/20/20 02:09 PM

More from my campaign flying for the French in Alsace. After a month or so flying Moranes we've been given Nieuports whoohoo

The poor Aviatik 'B's don't stand a chance, the 'C' types are obviously more tricky but I've managed a couple. What strikes me most flying around here is all the forest. God help anyone trying to make a forced landing around here.

I'm flying predominantly with Constantin Zarapoff, hopefully he'll behave himself when there's a target nearby and not get in my way. He's been ok thus far.

Balloon busting over the lines in a early flight, It was a wet cold morning infact we'd heard the rain bucket down all night and i hardly slept a wink we took off and didn't encounter any enemy along the way..in fact the skies are unnaturally quiet.
Towards the target area the ground fire opened up with everything they had, i was hit a few times but managed to down the balloon we were in good spirits when we landed and i put my claim in witnessed by 2 of my Jasta..Claim denied, Christmas?? Bahh humbug.

Some great pictures again Adger, the one of the balloon looks so realistic it could be out of a book. Looks like your card's definitely marked at that Jasta it seems mate.

Yes the Nieuport is a joy compared to the Morane. It's flimsy and you certainly don't want to do much diving in it but it's head and shoulders above anything else around at this time (late September 1915).

Some lovely (if quiet) missions until one I've only just finished. I spotted a pair of enemy aircraft far below me, they stood out clearly against the backdrop of forest.

I got behind and glided down making sure not to pick up too much speed.

I timed it right and dropped beneath and behind the two seater and sent him spiralling down in flames.

I then went back to our home airfield of Fontaine for champers and Chateaubriand bottles

Hellshade the film is brill, I'm not a fan of the Fokker Triplane, it might have been MvR's weapon of choice but it ain't mine. It might turn on a dime but it's far too slow for 1918.

Great shot of you near the balloon, it looks like you're trying to do a 'Willy Coppens' and land on it. copter

I agree with the SPAD having a poor field of view, the Nieuports not too bad though.

I'm flying again this evening so will post more pictures then. mycomputer

Try this MAndrews see if it helps pal...go into workshops and then onto the key bindings..left click on the zoom in and out and it should show a advanced option ..click up twice until it shows 2 and that should give you smoother zoom thumbsup And great stuff Hellshade.

Thomas Muller Mission 12... 28th Dec 1916 Frescaty airfield in the Verdun region..8:25 am

My transfer came thru and i left Jasta 15 and joined up at Jasta 17 I met with my new Jasta who were full of spirits but largely inexperienced and they were slightly in awe of my 2 kills. I was more in awe of the Zep that was in the shed on the airfield..It was a sight to see
We had a mission from the Kommandant to patrol an area just over the frontlines, it was another cold morning and we had cloud at 4000ft, there wasn't really anything of note and we saw no enemy it's a very tricky airfield to land at and if there's no more missions today im definitely going to practice some circuits and landings..still im in better spirits than a few days ago and im itching for some action hopefully very soon.

Some great shots there guys. Adger I'm happy your transfer came through thumbsup

Here's some pics from my mission yesterday evening. The fact the German machine's are so visible against the backdrop of the forest made me think that so are we in our pale Nupes! So I borrowed Redford Mullock's paint scheme and adapted it.

Flying with the sun behind me I spotted a pair of enemy two seaters down below. I zoomed down as fast as my Nupe would allow and despatched one with my first pass.....which was nice. The second took a couple of passes, but went down far more theatrically cool

Awesome screenshots! I am always amazed by the color palette and how organic OBD makes the world feel. Adger, that last shot is fantastic.

In my extended weekend quest to fly planes I'm absolutely terrible at, I figured I give a few spins in the Fokker DR1. So I joined up with the Huns and while flying Balloon defense in our DR1s, we get bounced by a flight of British Tripehounds. It's a battle of the triple deckers! The DR1 is nimble but not a very stable gun platform due to the plane being so twitchy. I have a really hard time staying lined up for clear shots it in. Anyway, I was on the tail of one, apparently novice, Tripehound when two more fell in line behind me, changing the situation drastically. I don't know who they were but unfortunately for me those two weren't novices behind the stick.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/23/20 02:35 PM

Much too close for comfort. A Bristol F.2b rear gunner sending a round right past my head. Different angles of the same instant it happened. I was trying to chase him away from my airfield and he wasn't having it. We both fought to the bitter end. I got him but just barely. My plane was so wrecked I emergency landed on my field in the wrong direction, as close to the tents as possible to keep out of the way of the rest of my flight landing. These pics were at the tail end, obviously. Video of the rather vigorous engagement in a bit.

Thanks. I think the Archie injured me and then I just bled out, Might have taken more flying through the fireball. Either way I should have cut for home the moment the Archie hit me.

New to the Alb DIII. Mixed it up in a campaign furball with some more Sopwith Tripes (I keep running into those guys!). Seems like a good, solid, all around fighter for when it was introduced.

Thanks Adger, I'm doing pretty well, but it's normally around this time that I do something daft or find the bullet with my name on and it all comes to an end.

You're right there I don't fancy anyone's chances in some of the forest around here, to quote a line from a famous film.... ar15..... lawncareby20mm it makes Cambodia look like Kansas.

Here's some more from my latest mission. The weather's taken a severe turn for the worst but apparently there's been a 'marked increase in enemy air activity' so we have to go up.

After a while flying around St Die I spot a couple of enemy kites through all the murk (thanks again to their anti-camoflage camoflage biggrin )

They both end up crashing down into the forest.

Posted By: Albert Tross

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/26/20 03:14 PM

Thankfully the weather has improved in Alsace. A few quiet missions later and we are again patrolling around St Die. I spot a couple of aircraft ahead. They look like Parasols, we're getting pretty close to each other now......hold on...we don't have any Parasol Escadrilles around here!
...and those aircraft are coming straight towards us!

A steep climb avoids the enemy's first pass and gives me height over the two Pfalz scouts. I pick my target as my wingman takes on the other Pfalz. I put a good burst into him and he slows right down. I try to throttle back as well but I'm still too fast and I end up side by side with the Pfalz. As I look across, his engine splutters and then bursts into flames......the last I see of him is as he smashes into the forest below.

I look for my wingman and see he's beaten the other Pfalz who spins down into the trees.

It's a long fly back to our airfield in Fontaine, but a happy one.

With a little experience, it is quite easy to handle it :
No steep dive (cut engine when you dive)
Stop fighting as soon as you are damaged in the wing (usually, as soon as damaged)

Also, the AI does not handle very well "boom and zoom" fighters vs turning fighter.
So when you have a Nieuport 23 against a Albatros, things are quite easy as the Albi easily goes into turning fight.
Even if you chase the Albatros, just fire at it occasionnally at long distance and the plane, instead of using its higher speed to escape, will sooner or later enter a turning fight, and he is obviously doomed.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 05/29/20 05:12 PM

@JB and Hellshade, also try an inverted dive with engine idle, if possible, since the top wing is sturdier. I do this sometimes in FE2 but have yet to try it out in a Nieup. in WOFF.

I always idle the engine whenever I dive and often try and go down on a bit of a sideways angle if possible, but haven't tried inverted yet. Might give that a go....or might just let them get away.

These are some Jasta 20 skins I have been working on with Shredward. Based on the close study of photographs of the DIII and DV Albatri of this Staffel, he is convinced and convinced me that they should be rendered in the same light blue used on the undersurfaces of the Albatros DIII. These will be offered in the next MOD, which will be some time after the next WOFF updates as I believe there will be some aircraft assignment changes. After this blue period, the Staffel goes brown. Shredward thought I should put out a few screenshots to show off he results of our collaboration.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 06/01/20 11:18 PM

Jerbear... Looks good. And I like the idea of the blue on blue. That is highly possible as many of the schemes they painted on planes in the field did not use special colors. Many Jastas used whatever was available from the basic kit colors in the shed. Meaning... They used light green, light blue, mauve and brown. Mixed it bast possible and painted it.

Obviously this was not the case we with more elite units like Jasta 10, 11 etc.

At any rate .. I'd like to help you with this unit and many others in the future using my skins. The base skin you're using is looks old and not one from my updated collection. The rudder and the wood details really don't show well in this set.

Email me and we'll work on this one together. I can work-up a clean base skin to make for this Jasta...and you can add the personal markings.

I'd really like to see the quality be there for your work on this planes and not use my older skins to base them on.

PM and I'll give you my email addy.

It is with deepest regret that I must inform you that Flight Lieutenant Scott Spaulding' aircraft was damaged during combat action with an enemy Aviatik CI. Despite heroic efforts to bring his craft down safely, he was unable to avoid a tree line that killed him instantly upon impact. He had 51 full flight hours in and 8 confirmed kills. He died doing his duty for King and Country and will be sorely missed. RIP Scott Spaulding.

Kinda liking the Pfalz EIII over the Fokker EI
Pfalz seems more stable than I remember the Eindecker.
Of course visibility up in the Pfalz is terrible.
And neither can hold up against a N10C1.
Only reason I got that first one is the guy kept trying to run home.
Will see what happens with WOFF 2020.
That Be2c shot me up, then on the way home a N10C1 shot me up and I forced landed in the german lines.
Managed to put it down, deadstick, without hitting any ground obstacles.
11 days in the hospital.

Nice shots Stache and good story to go with it. The Pfalz EIII is a strange bird but I definitely prefer it to the Fokker Eindecker. I mentioned it in earlier posts but it holds it's height better in a turn than the Fokker, which is a godsend when flying around the mountains and valleys of Alsace as I do.

Jolly impressive show against at least three Jasta 5 aces, Hellshade.

I'd say you definitely shot down Fritz Rumey; probably Richard Flashar and - after he'd been glued to your six for a while - you'd surely have nailed Josef Mai, but for that cloud.

I've recently started a jaunt with 11 Squadron flying Bristol Scouts in Feb 1916. On one of the few decent days weather wise, who do I bump in to (not literally thankfully) but Rudolf Berthold of KEK Vaux. He wasn't in the mood for niceties it seems so I had little alternative but to flame the Fokker!

The Scout is a lovely aircraft to fly and whilst the shooting is a little weird it's certainly entertaining, especially against the two seaters. I've even tried it rolling 90 degrees so the gun is pointing up whilst holding the rudder, works for a few seconds.......great fun.

Speaking of bumping into things, I did have a too close encounter with a balloon on another trip. I managed to get home though, minus a chunk.

Great pics mate, I’ve recently reinstalled to my Win 10 installation (dual boot) WOFF was on the Win 7 boot. Think I’ve saved my previous pilots campaign etc but If not you’ve given me a option to consider and it’s been quite some time since I flew the scout.

Looks like a cold Feb day to go flying in pal, bet you were nervous landing her with the lower wing damage. I believe the new version has individual DM for the wheels etc? BHAH II is looking fantastic I cannot wait to jump in and throw some pics up cheers

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 02/07/21 10:38 AM

Thanks guys,

It's definitely an option Pol, I've registered some good hits on Aviatiks using it and I'm looking forward to using it against Rolands when they turn up, because I think I'll take serious heat from them at the normal angle of fire.

It was fun landing minus the wing chunk, the trick is to quickly work out what controls will allow you to fly forward (if any of course), in this case it involved a touch of stick and rudder too.

Yes Adger the landing is the worse bit as you're afraid of throttling back and stalling so I come in very low and in a straight line and only throttle back at the last moment as I'm about to touch down.

The worst is when you realise you can't get enough control to fly it and your only choice is to try and level enough to 'crash it as gently as possible' kind of what happened to Boelcke. That must have been a horrible last ride for the great man dizzy

Cracking pictures mate, I like the top one, it looks like you could be jumped at any minute in all that murky weather. I like the paint scheme too, not sure French high command will feel the same though, you might find yourself on a l'fizzer or whatever the French equivalent was biggrin .

I've been flying for the 103rd Aero in Feb 1918 For the USAS. It's certainly busy up there. As you can see by the melee I decided to get involved in. I've reduced the number of enemy aircraft by two though.

The details throughout WOFF are amazing, on the aircraft, the ground and the smoke and flames.

If the new edition has improved on all this.....wow jawdrop

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 02/12/21 11:26 AM

The USAS Campaign is a good one for someone completely new to WOFF I think and used to multiplayer, it's the nearest you get to an 'instant action' campaign, there are so many Jastas and other formations all over the place, you always meet up with something on your missions.

I've got a couple of campaigns on the go, my USAS one and my FE2b campaign flying in August 1916 currently.

Here's a picture of a recent victory I had in my Fee. My gunner did a fine job, turned an Eindecker into a Neindecker ar15

Again though the devil is in the detail, and the details are great in WOFF. cool

Wow, the Sopwith Camel Bentley variant is just a Beast against the Bosch! Twin gun killing power, excellent turn and handling, least restrictive forward and upward field of view for tracking foes and a strong engine for climbing. About the only "downside" is the crate sounds like it has a sickly lawnmower for an engine...but it sure doesn't hold it back any during a fight. I thought the Bentley's were only allocated to England but I guess not. Been hunting Bosch with it this weekend and I have to say it's my new favorite kite.

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 02/26/21 03:31 PM

One of my favorite aircraft to fly is the Sopwith Pup, so I decided to start a new career with 54 Squadron starting in dear old blighty and then off to war in December 1916. So thought I'd share a shot of us saying toodle-oo to the white cliffs.

Despite the weather being predominantly awful in Jan 1917, I've had some really good encounters so I thought I'd share a couple of shots of them. The first one had the audacity to have the same number on his aircraft as me, the very cheek of it. So one of us had to go.

The second was a real melee with some Albatros scouts and I managed to single one out and put a burst into the cockpit. When I looked at the campaign screen later when my kill had been confirmed and it gives you the pilot name, it turned out I'd clobbered Erwin Böhme....that'll teach him to crash into Boelcke like that won't it.

With the new WOFF out imminently and the visuals in that game looking wonderful, I thought I'd show that WOFF PE still looks the business too.

54 Squadron stays with Pups throughout 1917. Then changes to Camels in 1918. 56 Squadron comes over with the first SE5's in April 1917, and 60 Squadron starts getting them in August. So I'll have to transfer out to fly some.

Some more pictures, from 54 Squadron February 1917. I spot a proper melee going on and can't resist getting involved, especially as I've got height on them. I managed to bag an Albatros. Then a couple of sorties later some DFWs decided they wanted to leave big holes in my airfield so I decided to take it up with the leader and put holes in him.

As James McCudden said, 'the Pup could turn twice to the Albatros's once' and was a delight to fly. Yes it was underpowered but it gave the pilot a fighting chance in early/mid 1917 which in DH2's and FE8's up against Albatros DII and DIII's they didn't.

You're welcome mate, the quality of pictures you can get with WOFF is superb. I've often thought of getting a calendar printed using some of the best ones I've seen on here. They're so good.

The seasons look so realistic in WOFF, the winters look bloody cold and the French summers dusty and hot.

56 Squadron eh, you're in good company there. Cecil Lewis, Reg Hoidge, Albert Ball is there at the start of course. Then James McCudden arrives 'Beery' Bowman and Arthur Rhys-Davids. You'll be lucky to get a shot in mate biggrin

That's for sure, Albert. A group of real studs there, who definitely increase one's survival rate. OTOH, they're aggressive. I can't tell you the number of times that kill-stealer McCudden cut my DID character off during 4.5 months with 56.

As he was in life, whenever McCudden was in the flight he was often the first man in on 2-seaters. Coincidence, or feature?

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 03/04/21 08:35 AM

Very interesting epower, I've had similar experiences flying with Esc 3 for a while and it wasn't just Guynemer, it was all of them, all getting in front of you.

Apparently Guynemer wasn't a team player at all though, even on patrols, he'd just fly away from his wingman.

They weren't all like that of course, both Edward Mannock and Linke-Crawford the Austro-Hungarian ace used to shoot up an aircraft, knowing it was about to fall and then move away so that an inexperienced wingman could come in and finish it off.

Haha Adger, remind me never to be in the vicinity when you're in the air, "what are you claiming today sir?"....."three Albatros, two SE5's, 4 Cows and a bloke in the bar".

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 03/14/21 03:39 AM

That's a handsome set of pics. Adger - WOFF sure is the cat's meow in the looks department. I need to return to flying my casual campaigns - have been a bit busy with work currently and also with some mods. in FE2, and I admit that I have also tried to hammer the AI into some shape in RoF. burnout

Speaking of that other sim (not of FE2 which is best for single rolling missions, but that other one), take note ye' all who also have that one how the campaigns there are a strange, invisible, rolling bubble of sorts across the horizon - of areas that get activated with AI flights as you pass by (at least that's the general impression I get in that sim). In WOFF, on the other hand - you have a full, living campaign around you, from take-off to landing, with everyone going about their busy schedules and sometimes popping in for lunch early in case of engine failure.

Happy WOFFing all,
Von S

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 03/14/21 09:59 AM

Great screenshots Blade, that second one, the colours are sooooo good it's almost like a painting.

Adger quality as always mate, the airfields look superb and I love the fact they're alive, lorries tootling along, mechanics busy working and even a gramophone warbling on in the background....all making WOFF the unique experience it is.

VonS, I agree, I did used to enjoy ROF as graphically it looked lovely, but the mechanics of the missions (and so many other things) with aircraft spawning at a given point and then flying around and around in circles just wasn't something that pulled me in like WOFF does. The ingame immersion factor is x100 in WOFF. From the moment your mission starts and your sat on the airfield to the moment you roll up at the end of that mission (assuming you've survived of course) the immersion is like no other.

I've decided to take a break from my 54 Squadron career and go to the other end of the spectrum, flying for the German Marine Landflieger in September 1915.

It's early days and obviously flying an Eindecker EI in the emptier skies of autumnal 1915 is a very different feeling than Spring 1917 but that's what I wanted.

I posted a couple of these pictures in my combat report in the report thread yesterday but thought I'd add them here together with another one where I'd attacked a balloon, which is not added to my report, only because it would have completely gone against orders not to go over the lines winkngrin

@ Blade completely forgot to say wonderful pics as usual, hope you’re well and hopefully we’ll see more of you’re pics up soon ..especially with BHAH II on the horizon.

@ VonS..Cheers mate appreciated, thought I hadn’t seen you about as much and I have noticed your mod work regarding ROF..I just cannot bring myself to reinstall to try it especially when the newer iteration of OBD,S WW1 sim is hopefully near. Don’t get me wrong mate ROF does a few things well but..SP campaign certainly isn’t one of them, and even though Pat as done a wonderful job with PWCG, he’s still restricted with the ROF engine as too his limits. I personally never felt that I was in a living,breathing world whilst flying ROF..everything just “feels” scripted. Hopefully we’ll see you back more when BHAH gets released hey mate.

@ Albert again cheers pal,great pics hope you got your balloon kill confirmed? ahh the E1..I’ve lost count of the number of times that old bird has done me in such a bloody handful especially when the wind is up.. I echo your sentiments exactly and it’s the immersion that draws me back time and time again. ROF for me simply doesn’t have it, only real thing I enjoyed about ROF was at times the FM and I’m led to believe that BHAH II,s FM feels even more “realistic “ then it is now with WOFF PE. Cheers again mate, and best of luck with the E1...you’ll need it winkngrin

Best regards to you all.
Posted By: Albert Tross

Re: WOFF UE Screenshots - 03/14/21 12:04 PM

Flying the EI teaches you patience that's for sure and for me it gives you a real opportunity to fly your missions as realistically as possible. It takes an age just to climb up, doubly so if you're being buffeted by the wind as you say.

There are far fewer aircraft in the air so you need to really use your spotting skills and maybe hang around important points for a while. To see if something turns up. Then if you do spot something....what is it?....and where is it in relation to you?

As you can see from the first picture, I spotted an enemy aircraft, it was a Morane. On seeing us he turned and ran. Now I could have gone hell for leather after him, but he had height on us and we were quite close to the lines, with his nose down there's no chance I'd have caught up with him until he got to his airfield and the nearest airfield is a fair distance over the lines, putting me and my precious synchronisation system in jeopardy.

So, with a moral victory in the bag rather than a material one, in that he'd abandoned his mission, we turned and carried on our patrol.

I really like that it gives you the feeling of having to make the same decisions, Boelcke, Immelmann, Buddecke etc had to make in those very early days and how exciting it must have been to be flying these aircraft.... to us... primitive but to them cutting edge machines....and trying to come up with the first proper tactics.

Albert great post pal you’ve summed the early flights of these kites perfectly. Your 3rd paragraph brings back memory’s of what I used to do all the time when I 1st started flying OBD s sims all those years ago.

My fiery nature meant I’d just wade in leaving my squad/jasta to fend for themselves and chase anything down that moved..I’d then find myself miles from any friendly and being surrounded by enemy, safe to say mate I didn’t last too long duh In RL I’d have lasted 10 minutes honestly I don’t know how some of these young men lasted more than a week in these kites,

I’ve learnt now that patience is the key although I still at times go chasing but I make sure I don’t stray too far biggrin and whilst no sim can give you the full experience of RL flying/combat..WOFF is the closest I’ve ever felt to what it must have felt like..I still shiver when I fire my engine up on a freezing cold winter morning, I still gasp when I see the sunrise pop up over the trees, I still feel fear when I lose an enemy in the clouds, I still drop my head and close my eyes when I see one of my squad get shot down in flames or crash due to engine failure. No other sim has ever ever made me feel like this and it’s about to get even better.

If it'd been well over our lines or nearer our altitude or if it had stayed on it's course I'd have chased it, or if it was a BE2 which I could have caught up quicker, maybe I'd have gone after it.

It's all those little things that those first fighter pilots had to figure out which fascinates me and WOFF is the only WW1 sim out there which gives me the opportunity to put myself in their shoes. Add to that the immersion levels which are sky high as we've said and that's why we're here mate...... drooling like Homer after a can of Duff.... waiting for the new version to come out hahaha

Yeah, I agree the skies are wonderful in both games and add to the already immersive atmosphere.

I have thought about it mate tbh and never say never, it's committing to a full write up of every mission which might be tough right at this moment. Whereas now I'm writing up the ones I want to. I'd want to do it justice if I was to do it.

Haha, thanks epower, I might dip my toe in, who knows. I do like reading the ones on there.

I've noted the current date seems to be around mid March 1918, so theoretically it should be possible to start as a USAS pilot around then, that would interest me.

I'll have a thunk.

Seeing as my DID campaign is literally stuck in the mud, banghead I've decided to grab some SPAD VII hours elsewhere for now, namely with Maurice Boyau in SPA77 around St Mihiel.

The SPAD is fast and rugged as we all know but you can turn well in it as long as you don't pull up too quickly. The trick to flying it for me though is use of the throttle, especially chasing two seaters trying to evade you.

Yeah mate it was a proper 'straightener' that fight, aircraft everywhere. That's why I picked late summer of 1917, I wanted to fly the SPAD VII but I wanted the skies busy.

Haha, yeah he looks a bit miserable doesn't he. Kind of sums the mood up around my DID airfield I think with all the crap weather.

Cracking pictures again mate, especially the BE with the smashed prop. Always great colours in WOFF, shows off the skins really well.

Some more from my SPA77 jaunt. Managed to bag a few so far. The 3rd picture, he actually ended up in the river ahoy Hopefully I'll start getting a few chances in my DID campaign now we can actually start flying biggrin

Cheers, yep I’ve used reshade for some time now but realised only recently that I actually prefer WOFF in stock colours, wish I could lay claim to the BE but I never got chance lay a glove on him.

Haha, great stuff pal, great shooting it looks a mean and moody day over the front

Great to see 2nd lieutenant J Harrison getting some flight time in over on the Did thread aswell mate cheers

Re: WOFF UE & PE Screenshots - 03/22/21 10:42 PM

Lovely screenies all, keep them coming. I agree Adger, the default colors in WOFF PE are just fine - as is the sharpness of dials, gauges, etc. in the cockpits. For those who might like a wee bit more greenery to the grass - you will find that my GPU Tuner for WOFF PE does the trick (I have toggled on some light effects in the shaders.xml file that are dormant in the stock file, among other changes) - see pic. at the link below for the results, among other pics. from the "Casual Campaigns" thread.

https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/21770/filename/shot1.jpg

Those running ver. 4.18 or earlier of WOFF UE are recommended to check over the Bucksnort SweetFX package, as well as my additions for that package (bloom, subtle bloom, no bloom, etc.). For some reason I was never able to get ReShade running on my rig. but no big loss since I don't need such programs anyway with WOFF PE, as I'm sure I won't need them with later eds. of WOFF too.

Cheers all and happy tinkering,
Von S smile2

Cheers VonS, yeah i like messing around with reshade and mods etc..imo theres a lot of titles out there that really come to life with Reshade (RDR2, Assassin's creed Odyssey,GTA V ) but WOFF certainly doesn't need it.
btw your GPU tuner is an excellent addition to WOFF iuse 1.1.1 and 1.4..great stuff.

A few more flying with Jasta 5, nothing really of note happened except for bumping into 'Bubi' Voss and his pals from Jasta 2.

Re: WOFF UE & PE Screenshots - 03/26/21 03:28 PM

Lovely shots again Adger and Blade. The colours look so vivid, like the wood the struts are made of, they look so smooth, like they've just been sanded down and varnished.

Thought I'd fly a few jaunts in the Fokker DII, inspired by Sandbagger's latest creation. It's a strange bird alright. Managed to bag a Caudron though, be rude not to wouldn't it biggrin

Re: WOFF UE & PE Screenshots - 03/26/21 05:30 PM

@ Adger, YES! I have been hoping you would try straight up WOFF and hopefully WOTR again. Nothing against reshade or your previuos work, but if you compare a non reshade with a reshade pic you will see that the reshade pics are slightly darker, grainier(if that's a word?) and present a little worse AA and the edges of the planes show it. You have a great eye for pics, angles, times of day and all around composition and these latest few pics which you have posted really show the realistic quality of the graphics, colors and quality of the planes in WOFF. That Tripe/Alby pic is off the charts! S! smile

@Albert Tross, Yes those Caudron simply are just begging for it flaunting there dual engines all across the countryside as if they are Kingly or something such! It is best that you taught them and their brethren a lesson which neither shall forget any time soon Sir! S! ar15
Nice pics Sir.

S!Blade<><

Edit: I just read back 3 pages and see you all have been talking about running stock WOFF, and...I am late to the party and uninformed as usual.So,............ I concur whole heatedly! hahaha

Re: WOFF UE & PE Screenshots - 03/26/21 06:10 PM

@ Albert,great shots from you again as always..Cheers pal, Blades shots are always fantastic and the detail that OBD put into WOFF is just incredible, I agree with Blade those Caudron,s need knocking down a peg or two biggrin

@ Blade, I absolutely agree with you mate, WOFF certainly doesn’t need any reshade/Sweetfx etc..I messed around a bit in a Nvidia settings (AA and AF but that’s it). Thanks for the kind words how incredible does BHAH II look btw? Going by what I’ve seen from the videos and shots so far it’s gonna be epic. Hopefully soon pal we’ll be posting shots of the new sim and..I believe Winding mans going to give us some news regarding WOTR very soon, we’re in for a treat from both sims for many years to come.
Hope you’re well sir, stay safe thumbsup

Re: WOFF UE & PE Screenshots - 04/04/21 09:35 AM

Hi all,
It's great to see the sim forever changing and always for the better.
Like many of you, I'm keen to get my hands on the latest iteration - in two weeks.
It's also nice to see so many of the skins I created apparently still being used.
It's prompted me to check my archives to see which aircraft I skinned.
It's quite a list covering a 10 year period:

Sopwith Camels
Sopwith Pup
Sopwith Triplane
Sopwith Snipe
DH.2
DH.4
DH.5
RE.8
FE.2b
SE5
SE5a
Bristol Scout
Halberstadt D.II
Gotha
SPAD XIII
Nieuport 11 to 28
Cauldron
Breguet 14
Morane Saulnier

Many more were skinned by James, Arto and Terry and all researched by Ted.
It's also good to see others now taking up skinning these great aircraft as well.

A great sim and community,

Mike

Re: WOFF UE & PE Screenshots - 04/06/21 12:14 AM

As everyone awaits for BH&H2 of WOFF to arrive, let's refresh this thread with some historical screenies - was tweaking the venerable ver. 4.18 of WOFF ("deadly trees and fences" edition) over the last few days - the Xjouve lite water patch ver. 1.1 works fine in it, as does Xjouve's improved terrain mesh ver. 2.0, etc. I don't recommend my WOFF GPU Tuner patch for it (only for the PE since it degrades textures a wee bit too much in UE - although the modified preload.xml file from my GPU Tuner is okay to load in WOFF UE). Instead, for those running only the UE-ed. of WOFF - use the following tips extracted from my "WOFF on a Mac" thread.

Tip one:

In your Terrain.fx file, located under OBDWW1/shaders30, set the following line as follows:

const static float fTextureSize = 512;

or

const static float fTextureSize = 650;

Tip two:

If you don't mind slightly lower fps (60 to 80 fps approx.) but crisper ground textures, especially when in low dogfights, I recommend making a copy of the default compositetexturebudgets.xml file and modding it as per the specifications below:

- tweak the relevant line below to read as follows:

<Budgets PatchPixelDim="512" MinPatchDimUseThumb="4096">

- for all of the different "Rings" level entries, use the following entry:

<Ring PatchWorldDim="32768" RingDim="3" MinMaskRadius="65536"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="16384" RingDim="4" MinMaskRadius="53248"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="8192" RingDim="4" MinMaskRadius="40960"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="4096" RingDim="4" MinMaskRadius="24576"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="2048" RingDim="6" MinMaskRadius="12288"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="1024" RingDim="6" MinMaskRadius="6144"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="512" RingDim="6" MinMaskRadius="4096"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="256" RingDim="8" MinMaskRadius="1536"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="128" RingDim="8" MinMaskRadius="768"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="64" RingDim="8" MinMaskRadius="384"/>
<Ring PatchWorldDim="32" RingDim="8" MinMaskRadius="128" DetailTileCount="6"/>

Also recommended for further crispness is the Bucksnort SweetFX pack and perhaps one of my "subtle bloom" settings, or the "no bloom" setting if you don't like bloom (available in the relevant CombatAce thread for download). Pics. below are with the Bucksnort addon, my subtle bloom tweak, BB's clouds, the "light" standalone airfield facilities mods. by RJW, Lou and company, etc.

Happy flying all,
Von S smile2

The ground crew is great - one of the many wonderful features of the various airfield mods. done over the yrs. by RJW, Lou and company (and of course Geezer of First Eagles 2 fame since the various characters were initially done for FE2 and they look great in that sim too). The specific version loaded in my 4.18 install of WOFF is the "light" airfields mod. - not the large, consolidated batch (that one I use in WOFF PE). Don't know if the light airfields mod. is still available via Sandbagger's site but it's a lovely addition to WOFF UE and doesn't impact FPS.

Cheers all,
Von S smile2

Re: WOFF UE & PE Screenshots - 04/06/21 04:51 PM

Well, I just tried but there seems to be no ground crew. I installed the Consolidated Custom Facilities Mods Repository Folder for JSGME from the mods website. Did I do something wrong?
Posted By: Robert_Wiggins

Re: WOFF UE & PE Screenshots - 04/06/21 05:02 PM

Trustworthkabad;

Do youself a favour any pay particular attention to the "Readme" files that come with the mods. Many of the mods depend on each other and some cannot be mixed.

You will save youself a lot of headaches.

Best Regards
Posted By: VonS

Re: WOFF UE & PE Screenshots - 04/06/21 06:08 PM

I definitely recommend what RJW has posted above - read directions very carefully in the consolidated airfields, facilities and figures packages - since there are at least four or five folders in there that need to be installed in the proper order. Also keep in mind that JJJ's historical-aircraft-at-airfields mod., that is an add-on to his excellent Mission Editor, is not compatible with the latest (full consolidated) version of RJW's airfields packages. Best is to leave the JJJ historical aircraft mod. out if running the latest consolidated airfields mods. (I use an older version of the consolidated mod. in WOFF PE that functions with JJJ's aircraft mod. - whereas the light airfields mod. I have in ver. 4.18 is only UE-compatible and was never updated for PE.) Once the BHAH.II edition of WOFF comes out - I recommend initially running it in stock form until there is more info. on mod-compatibility with BHAH.II from various modders who are still actively modding. Look for updates both here in the SimHQ threads and also under the relevant CombatAce threads for WOFF.

Cheers,
Von S smile2
