So, how do we get Peter to invest in WOFF: BH&H II to bring the most comprehensive and historically accurate WWI flight simulator to the next level? heh. Back in reality though. he has a seriously impressive collection of WWI aircraft and gear.
I think you may be on to something there, Hellshade. And if memory serves, don't we have some members down in New Zealand? I feel like WOFF is one investment away from breaking through into something quite extraordinary. You just have to get this amazing flight sim in front of someone who can make that critical difference. Jackson comes to mind, as does Phil Spencer (all kidding aside, if MS could just green-light WOFF as a sanctioned, stand alone product, it would shift this conversation significantly).
Ugh, I had forgotten about the mess that Gene DeMarco inflicted on TVAL... it's a horrible shame. I do hope the company restarts at some point, but as the article says, it doesn't look likely. What a horrible ending to such a remarkable project.
WOFF is always in my thoughts when playing scratch offs. LOL Maybe Old Brown Dog should aim a little more down to earth for a philanthropist. Kermit Weeks for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Weeks He owns a kite or two.
