homepage Forums Air Combat & Civil Aviation Wings: Over Flanders Fields WOFF UE & PE Screenshots

Pol, I don't know what kind of magic you guys have got going, , , Let's just say that if CFS3 is Chopsticks then it looks like WOFF UE may just very well be Beethoven's Ninth! Absolutely gorgeous. And if it just looked good it would be one thing, but it's just so damn much fun to play! Even if I can't get in a lot of airtime I will purchase any product you guys turn out, a true labor of love. Can't wait to turn the credit card loose on UE. S

Is there anything better than better shaders? Yup. Better shaders with better performance. Can't..stop..flying..WOFF UE.

As someone with a "modest" 745GTX video card in my Dell XPS 8700, I like the sound of better performance!

And you're right - it looks like an oil painting! Fantastic!

The graphics really do look outstanding. Does anyone know if a fully simulated, multi-rotary bomber (or aircraft for that matter) has ever been a flyable plane in a WW1 sim before? I wonder if that Caudron is the first.

A little late War Jasta 2 campaign action and scenery shots. I honestly thought WOFF 3 was as good as it could possibly get. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

I couldn't resist a last mission before bed. Went off hunting by myself and look what I found. They make tough opponents, folks. I got 'em but I went back to base with a plane that looked like swiss cheese.

Those latest screenshots are really impressive Hellshade, was beta updated or something?

Also has the 'plane exploding' effect been toned down ?

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.

I sincerely apologize to spoil this thread .

One question, which version of the spad will you have :
spad 7 150 and 180 cv, spad 13 200, 220 and 235 hp ?

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.

That U E magic has me in its spell,
That U E magic that is cool as hell.
Those moody shadows up and down the line,
Those brand new shaders that will soon be mine.

That WOFFy tingle that I’ll feel inside,
When I climb up into a brand new ride.
And then up and down I'll go, round and round I'll go,
Trying to avoid those vents in my hide!

I would pay right now but what can I do?
Its beta mate so I must wait.
Wait - with a burning desire.
And just its release can put out the fire!

‘Cause you’re the sim that I have waited for,
You’re the U E OBD fans were created for.
And every time you cross my mind,

Baby, down and down I go, round and round I go,
In a spin, lovin’ the spin I’m in,
Under that U E magic called WOFF - WOFF - yeah, WOFF. It’s champagne baby.

Thanks guys, please no "suggestions" in this thread, we know, it is what it is. We can;t keep adding and adding for little return. There is a suggestions thread for suggestions..

Sorry if I have missed it. But will there bei something like an Upgrade for those who allready own WoFF3 and the Ad Ons similar to the Upgrades V2 and V3? Or do we need to get the whole package again? I wouldn't mind to do so. Just asking.

You didn't miss it. The devs have not released that information yet and just viewing the screenshots and videos would be enough to make anyone anxious to know more, so I can't blame you for asking. In the meantime, more screenshots please.

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.

Really looking forward to this!

Yes exactly, instead of exploding hollywood style, the plane should burn

All interesting thoughts but even with the good intentions the thread is starting to get hijacked away from its purpose, which is showing WOFF UE screenshots and videos. The Devs are doing their thing. I think no matter what, we are going to end up improved overall in many areas.

I'm at work. Somebody post a nice WOFF UE beta screenshot to get the train rolling again.

Yes, I do apologize for that.

If only someone would show me some airplane pictures to shut me up.
