WOFF: Screenshots and Videos

[corsaire31 7]

Corsaire, I do like the shadowing and lighting glints a lot -

but that ENB stuff is unrealisticly dark and over-saturised.

 

WOFF produces a kind of haze-softened and haze-paled impression

of things which are further away. I find that very realistic.

But with ENB everything comes up too close - IMHO.

 

But as the Romans said: De gustibus non est disputandum

 

ENB is like SFX, it looks like the settings you have tuned, it can have many different outcomes with different settings. On top of this, you can also change your monitor settings (I have for instance "standard" with 70% contrast and 100% brightness or I can use "scenery" with 50% contrast and 70% brightness".

Remember also these pics are taken early morning in spring, the same pic at 12:00 would certainly look different !

But as you say in latin, this is the way I like it (had it in OFF already), if I didn't I could always change it...

Alsace is a nice place to fly...  good pics !  I always liked sunsets in OFF.

Final Moment

 

We might have been able to fight back the Nieuports, which had laid out a clever trap for us.

But when I got jumped - just in that worst of all moments! - I had my first engine failure in

"Wings Over Flanders Fields". And even a really bad one - the engine caught fire (said the

"Simulation Warning"). As if that wasn't bad enough, the guy behind me kept firing.

Strange was, that all control had gone - maybe I was dead already?
However - here are the pictures of the final moment...

NIce pics Olham ! This is the perfect demonstration of Murphy's law ...

[Olham 164]

You can say that again, Corsaire! But one pilot's death is another pilot's flying time -

my Jasta 17 pilot had been resting a while in cold February grey, but now he made

another sortie with two comrades. When they got jumped by two Nieuport 23, his

wingman Wilhem Emmanuel Gros ("Fips") shot one down, before my pilot even knew

what was going on. The other got chased away by Freiherr von Brederlow.

As I said: I missed the action - so here are some pictures of peace...

The glinting and shadowing are great for WOFF, definitely!

Here are some pics from my Jasta 33 pilot, flying from Bühl-Lothringen (Buhl-Lorraine).

Winter morning take off - Kampfeinsitzerkommando Bertincourt - March 6, 1916

 

[Olham 164]

Brrrrrr - c-c-c-cold!!!

You need good stamina under such conditions.

I hope you'll survive to see the beauty of spring, Corsaire!

I hope you'll survive to see the beauty of spring, Corsaire!

Well until now my careers have been rather short, need a lot more flying hours to master the WOFF FMs !

[Olham 164]

Haha - I had deleted the second half of my sentence, cause it was so discouraging.

First it read:

I hope you'll survive to see the 'sacre de printemps' - but I doubt it...

Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

 

Well, seriously: I am getting better on the Albatros birds.

You just need to drop all the (wrong) ways of flying these underpowered crates,

as you had learned from other sims and OFF before.

This now seems to be a much more serious attempt to reproduce the FMs of such aircraft,

and we will not be able to helter-skelter through the skies upside down, whilst shooting

down several enemy aircraft at the same time.

 

To me it feels like the first time I ever tried flying WW1.

[corsaire31 7]

I have never flown a real WW1 airplane so it is for me difficult to say which one is closest to reality, so for the time being I will only say they are different. I am also equally flying Rise of Flight with Pat Wilson's Campaign Generator and it gets sometimes confusing between both, specially with the use of rudder, which is at times in WOFF acting more like an airbrake therefore inducing dramatic speed drop and stall. I will now be doing some hours of free flights with the planes before jumping straight in the war missions. It is a nice new feature to be able to not register free flights logs in your records.

 

Edit : I will personally see the spring, but probably not with the same pilot. We will see...

Out of nowhere came 8 Alb,s we were completely outnumbered

 

 

 

I turned sharply and dived for the deck..I didn,t even see the Alb that crashed into me...we both went down in flames and i was posthumously given the Military cross

Cripes, the screenshots here are getting epic as Ben Hur! Great!

I love the little Pup.

[Olham 164]

Our latest tackle - the RNAS boys had come for a visit.

 

[corsaire31 7]

And how did the Albatros against the Tripes ?

[Olham 164]

After some tossing and turning, the left wings broke off. No joke.

[Adger 85]

Jasta 70 Morning Patrol.

 

 

 

 

 

I came across a Lone strutt but the Gunner was a Marksman,i got hit several times

 

 

 

Luckily there was a nearby Friendly field ..i managed to land but was hospitalized for 2 Weeks

 

 

[Olham 164]

Great skins, aren't they? Jasta 70 - should be in the Marne or Verdun region?

[Adger 85]

They are beautiful skins indeed Olham ..Alsace if im not mistaken based at  Buhl Lorraine.

[Olham 164]

Buhl is Alsace-Lorraine indeed, or Elsass-Lothringen, as it is named in German.

A beautiful area, which often "changed hands" between France and Germany.

[Adger 85]

It is indeed a beautiful area to fly in..The Devs have done a tremendous job on the terrain and scenery,and im never to far from a field WHEN i get hit

Someone please tell me how to scale back the size of these pictures so you don't have to scroll right and left. Thanks
