Do you have all mods removed before installing?

Anyone else getting this with a clean install?

yes... all mods removed... list refreshed...snapshot new

upgrade to 4.14

vanilla..it ran in QM.

mods back on and crash



ok..back to vanilla and all runs well.
So some mod must causing this...looks like I'll have to go through each one

Ok I rest my case. find which mod, stop using it.

stop stop stop...my mistake maybe..wait one.

ok everyone can fling poo at me.
I loaded the Panama Red fog without the cloud main mod ..duhhh

sry for the panic Pov.

lederhosen:
The problem is it is calling for one of "BB" (or Buckeye Bob) clouds and it is missing, which causes the crash. When BB put his package together, he may have missed a cloud (which you found missing).

I use my own custom weather mod, so I never have these problems on missing clouds.

pls read my last post.... and fling poo at me too

At least you found the problem.

Hello Gents,

If anyone is flying WOFF ue in WineSkin on a Mac, like I am, I recommend (for now) sticking with the 4.12 update, since the 4.14 update shaves off about 5 fps in game on my Mac Mini (with Intel integrated graphics). Otherwise WOFF runs beautifully with settings reduced. If anyone's interested in getting it running on an Apple/Mac, PM me here or on CombatAce and I can send you a (long) list of directions for how to get the setup working just right.

Happy flying,
Von S

I don't know if they would be interested or not, but it might be appropriate to send off a message to support(at)overflandersfields.com (replace the (at) with the @ sign.
They may be interested in adding your procedures to support the mac environment. Either way, they can make a choice.

Best Regards;

In comparing 4.12 (with AnKor's Enhanced Cockpit .dll dated 20170127) against the 4.14 with it's new AnKor .dll, the older Ankor Enhanced Cockpit .dll 20170127 is smother than the new 4.14 patch.

As a result, I just JSGME the older Enhanced Cockpit 20170127 over the new 4.14 patch and I regained the smoother flight and slightly higher FPS of the older 4.12 w/ Enhanced Cockpit 20170127.

Hi Robert and Panama,

Thank you for the good suggestion - I will probably post the instructions here, under a new thread. OBD is of course welcome to incorporate the instructions (for installation on a Mac) with their helpful Read Me files, if they wish to support other platforms too.

Panama, where is the Ankor Enhanced Cockpit.dll installed?...was trying to find it but no luck...if I can isolate it I will try the experiment you've done with JSGME...this sounds like a good workaround to remaining on ver. 4.12 - although it works well on my WineSkin install. I also noticed some more "flickering" in the cockpit while flying the 4.14 update - flickering is resolved by downgrading to 4.12 - I am assuming that it's the newer version of that enhanced cockpit dll that is the culprit - or maybe my Intel HD 4000 graphics "card" is just too finicky.

Happy flying,
Von S

+1
So do I.

That is interesting guys. As a comparison, have you downloaded my d3d8 mod and tried that? The Readme file explains how to edit it.
Would be interested in hearing your comparison.

Best Regards

VonSmokehousen:
It is the next thread after this thread posted in the Mod section: AnKor Enhanced Cockpit Mod 20170127

You need the JSGME Utility installed and then when you activate AnKor's mod inside the JSGME Utility, it automatically places the files in the correct folders.

I can't run the game anymore.
That's the error message. Any idea how to fix this ?
Thank you

Bronx. use windows file explorer and use the search bar to scan your WOFF folder for the "simulation.xml" file. You should find it in two default locations and they are as follows:

drive letter:\OBDSoftware\WOFF\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields\
drive letter:\OBDSoftware\WOFF\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields\campaigns\CampaignData\

Note the date field and find the one that was last used. Check it's properties and note whether or not it is defined as "read only". It shouldn't be!

There may be other "simulation.xml" files show up when you do the search but these will probably be associated with mods.
I would suggest deactivating any mods, and to also go into the WOFF "workshop" and then "More settings", and uncheck the 3rd Pary Mission Types and 3rd Pary Mission Editor if they are already checked. Now try WOFF again and report back to us.

I can't open the game, to have access to Workshop.
I deleted already all the mods, but the issue is stil present
I would try to uninstall - reinstall the game but. Where are the joystick - H.O.T.A.S. settings, saved ?
Thank you

Unfortunately I cant answer your ? Re joystick/Hotas. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

They are saved in \Appdata\OBD\WoFFkeys file. Atleast on Windows 7.

Can't find it, but thanks, anyway
Most stupid update, WOFF UE 4.14

Panama and JJJ65;

In case you missed my comments to you on this issue, I am posting my reply again here:

Sorry, Robert, no time for testing/playing .

Robert:
What d3d8 mod ???

If you are talking about modifying AnKor's d3d8.ini file, I already do that to get the headshake that you can see in Youtube videos, not what comes standard with AnKor's d3d8.ini file.

The d3d8 mod is made from the latest version of WOFF (V4.14).
The readme file that comes with the mod will help users who dont currently have your skills and in addition will allow them to swap in and out their changes without affecting the stock version in the latest WOFF update.

It does allow for headshake.

Does that explain it clearly for you?

Robert:
Yes, I understand now. Good mod for those who do not mod all the time.
