Awesome screenshots Capt! Glad to see that you are getting time to play. What do you enjoy most about UE?
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.
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!

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!*

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.

OvStachel where exactly is that new OAW D.III skin pack, ?
of the forum. Unthinkable!!!! I am hoping to have a bit more flight\picture time once the Cold weather sets in. Well here are a few old pics to BUMP it back to the Top where it should be. Hope you Enjoy!
Only one question, that D.III looks old. What skin is it from? I don't see that one in my files... unless I'm missing something. At any rate... it's an old skin.
Thanks!

Sorry to say OvStachel I have no idea. Love the reflection of the clouds on both of the Neups cowlings. Also the damage showing in the shadow of the lower wing of the Sopwith. Amazing detail these guys put into WOFF UE.
