  4. OT: Only Took 27 Years!

    Oh man, I remember those days! I still haven't gotten there in WOFF!

    An unnerving thought, my friend! As a teacher, I already see a pervasive number of essays and responses that have been generated and not written. It would be cool to see if an AI could find some more juice in the CFS3 engine or even help the team port the sim to another engine altogether... but for now, I'll take the handmade option over the Terminator lol
  6. To finally survive a full DiD campaign in Red Baron 3D! Wounded? Yes! Captured? Temporarily? But Lt. John Parks survived a full tour of duty with the 94th Aero squadron from March to November 1918. It was so much fun to revisit "the old gal" and play through, this time with a stock install running in D3D mode, like I did in 1998 when I first got the game - what a treat! Now if he can just avoid catching the flu on the ship home, he'll be in good shape! And at this rate, I might get a pilot through WOFF by the time I'm 70!

  8. all planes the same has to do with the loadout ini, the defaults for each mission set. if you change your layout in the drop down menu, then youll have to do the same for the others plane by plane as for lights, what aircraft are you having the issue with?

    Rick Rawlings replied to CaptSopwith's topic in WOFF BH&H2 - General Discussion

    I agree fully! And they may be the last of their breed! The only consolation is that: provided we survive the AI singularity, you will definitely live long enough to have an AI system design you a bespoke WWI flight simulator exactly the way you want it. AI can already do basic programming and games, within ten years, we should be there. If we survive...

    @Rick Rawlings - your experiences with enemy two-seaters looks awfully familiar! I too have been maimed by sniper-esque rear gunners, especially in machines like the Roland or Hannover... I find that if I switch the rear gunner accuracy in the workshop settings to less accurate, it feels a little more like the historical accounts I've read. At any rate - I always enjoy dropping by to catch the latest edition! Cheers mate!
  12. Giving this a bump - hard to believe a year has gone by - can't tell you how much I've enjoyed the stories in this thread! May it continue! Cheers!

  14. I'm enjoying a mid-afternoon coffee and wanted to send a little note of thanks over to the entire crew working on this latest and greatest iteration of WOFF. At 43 I'm probably still one of the younger (ish) members of the community, and always have been (I joined the ancient Flight Sim boards on Delphi when I was 16!). I've been playing video games since I was 4, and my grandfather (a WWII vet) handed me an Atari 5600 controller and a copy of Moon Patrol. I still love games and I think I've been through just about every generation of console without missing a beat since the NES. Which means that in addition to my flight sim rig (a 40th birthday present from my wife ), I've enjoyed the PS5 immensely. I love getting into racing games and play just about every version of the F1 series and Gran Turismo that I can get my hands on. Modern gaming sure is amazing! But it also has a lot of increasingly troublesome drawbacks. I'm excited (cautiously) for the new Battlefield 6 - so I snagged the Open Beta for both console and PC only to find today that I'm number 7800 in the queue on PlayStation and 152,280 on PC... Modern games also need a constant internet connection, and sometimes I wonder who I'm really supporting when I sign into a server that may be in Russia (which feels a lot more problematic than it did when I first got those games)... Which is why I'm so grateful that there is still a dedicated band of brothers making this sim - a game whose only goal is to create as true to life a representation of an era that we are all fascinated by. Filling out claim forms that often go nowhere, choosing to actually degrade the visuals by slapping on a greasy pair of scratched up virtual goggles... the things we do to feel a little more in touch with the source material lol :screwy: But how refreshing is it in our era of drip-fed content, buggy day one launches and their subsequent 80+ GB "patches," we still have a relic of the golden age of gaming: an offline, dynamic, immersive, remarkable flight sim that takes you as you are, doesn't shove DLC in your face, or ask you to upgrade to the super premium deluxe edition, or micro-transaction you to death for loot boxes and cosmetics. When the team has the next leap ready, it's there for you to buy, one and done - complete with several planes, and dozens of improvements. This is a rare space these days. And one, that, as I sat and stared at my monitor, for a AAA game to tell me that my input is so valuable that I'm in a queue of players longer than several cities I've lived in... I was happy to close the window and send you all a note instead. So thank you - for your passion, your dedication to accuracy (reading the exchanges between OvS, Graf, Elephant, and JFM have been a favorite reading pastime for me this summer), the gorgeous screen shots and just how much we love this odd little corner of the gaming / internet world we inhabit. It's still a pleasure to be along for the ride, all these years later. Cheers gents!
  15. How do I load all planes the same as mine? I remember seeing it somewhere on this board. 2nd question, is there anyway to tell your wingmen to shut off their lights? Seems crazy they all have their lights/strobes on flying over enemy territory.

    nice thing about xidax, life time warranty. reality on that is lifetime labor, about 5 years on parts. theyre even willing to help with screen replacement on the laptop i got in '15 from them, and gave to my daughter 4 years ago

    or call it the curse of the threes.... my desktop is having issues where it crashes. or more specifically it goes blank screens then the fans speed up to a super high rate and i gotta chop power and kill it. talked to the folks that built it. was gonna get on with a tech rep this morning and swap wires. but then i lost the wifi card after another crash. and dont exactly have a 12FT CAT5 cable to run to the router this on top of the system not recognizing the cooler, even though it is cooling the cpu. yes, its a fancy water cooled deal with a monitor that should let me play what ever video i want rather than scrolling "TRYX" all day long. although that is the least major issue thankfully, the folks at xidax are taking it back to fix it up. also thankfully i have a laptop for backup (what im typing this on). but i'm without my main system for about a month. extra frustrating when i just bought it in May. third major VA disabilty bump, third system from them still love em to death, but this one has been the worst experience of hte three
