"@epower, Becker - You raise an excellent question and one which I'll need to research. Hopefully the community may weigh in as well." Hallo @epower, no stress! Greetings!

Simply great @BB, you got it to simulate the missing Stratus-cloudlayer (CFS3-problem) via mist- and fog-layer, and this very successfully! So I could fly with a cloudlayer under my aeroplane and with blue sky and cumulus-clouds above. For members a few impressions, Greetings!

Hallo @epower, I have an inquiry in relation to the use of tracer / trailer-smoke from your posting 19.12.21: Is it possible for you to write the chronological use of these, maybe as a simple table like this: British French German no Tracer 1915? 1915? 1915? Trailer-smoke summer1916? ? ? Tracer ? ? ? Thank you very much!! Greetings!

Hallo @Bletchley, no problem! I started the same thread on SimHQ January 1915: Historical Campaign Mission Frequence? - SimHQ Forums and we have had an interesting talk about it (you will find your points there), and with a great announcement from @Shredward. Greetings!

Hallo @epower, only a short query: "Optional mods: The idea of this campaign is to be as historically accurate as possible. Mods that focus on adding historic details or ground textures, like the Consolidated Custom Facilities Mods or Buckeye Bob's cloud mods would be fine. So would JJJ's realistic tracer effects mod be okay, as long as you don't introduce tracer too early (From late 1915 on RNAS Home Defence, April 1916 in general RFC use, and mid 1916 in French and German use. " Do you mean "tracer" or "trailersmoke?" (at this early timepoint of war it should be trailersmoke, or?) Greetings!

And in the meantime, as long as @BB is working on the mod, a few pics more to increase the impatience (BH&H2, 1.17, OCM4.0 Beta Build 2, Campaign-Mode): Greetings!

Hallo @BB, sorry, it's too late. Next time I will send it to you via PM here on CA.

Hi @BB, here 2 pictures in campaign-mode to show of what we have talked via PM (BH&H2 1.17, OCM 4.0Beta Build 2): Bad weather around and clouds with high sun-reflection at the same time (first picture). Greetings!

Hallo @VonS, only short info: I downloaded both (TunerPatch for WOTR and EnhancementPatch for WOFF) and I could see after I have unzipped that there es no parent-folder (with the name of the mod) in both mods. So I fear new member could do mistakes with the installation. Greetings!

Hallo All, i have a question about the "Campaign mission Frequence - setting Historical" in early 1915: I have started a Bomber-Campaign on german side in 01.15 with FFA 13. The system let me fly every day. Is it right? I can imagine in this early time of air-forces, that the pilots did fly only every second or third day. If so, I can jump with "T+" of course. But I need a base for it. And maybe it is correct, that they did fly every day. I don't know. Thanks for answer and Greetings!

Update 12.10.21

Very nice announcement, I'm looking forward to it!! Greetings

Thanks @Pol, I did forget to mention the random-factor. Greetings

Hmm ... . I believe, it is not so difficult (I mean Default, not Mission Editor) IMHO: All flights are being generated from the system, they are AI-flights. If you change a flight-property during your mission manually (f.e. "sometimes I jump to the next waypoint ... after I get to the first waypoint but before reaching full altitude"), the system with all AI-flights "doesn't know" your manually changed altitude and "doesn't react"- with all possibilities / consequences for your own flight. All can happen ... and nothing. You don't know it. I like it, because it is closer to a realistic atmosphere! Please correct me, if it is wrong! Greetings

@WW1 Flying Ace, my recommendation: I have flown my first WOFF, United Edition, the first weeks without mods. At first because I have payed for it, so I want to know the default-sim. At second to recognice after this time, which things I would like to improve. And then I have looked which mods exist and which are my favourites. And then you must test the mods via JSGME. The following thread includs no mod-recommendations but only BH&H2-mods. Maybe it is a little help for you. WOFF BH&H II-Mods: There! - 30.07.21 - WOFF/WOTR - FAQ/Technical Issues - CombatACE Greetings

Hallo @BB, if I look at the three pictures I would like to say "very good" and at first sight the new thick haze is top. I have your cloud-mod in use since WOFF-UE. It is a "must have - mod" on my WOFF-system. So I'm sure you will do a great work again. The quality of your clouds, the big number of cloud-variations and the very good 8/8 overcast without a "blue hole" over you are simply first class and an absolute enrichment to simulate real skies in my opinion. Greetings!

And WW2 was the big arena, such a potential for WOTR, ... WOW! Greetings

Haha @catch, you are right! "... 15 years. If I can." is the absolut decisive criterion (grandpa-smiley)!! Greetings

Ha, the good old RedBaron 1 with the "Piff-Paff"-Explosions! Already in those days with much ideas and with the first feeling of the typical RedBaron-Atmosphere from the subsequent RedBaronsII/3D. Greetings!

Hallo, short info: I have made a new installation and again the test-campaign as the double from my transferred PE-campaign (see above: Jasta 15, Juni 1917, airfield Le Clos Ferme/Boncourt in Marne, ranking Rittmeister). And ... all is okay! I don't know the cause for the AI-crashes, but I can't imagine that the few mods, I have tested before, were involved. Because I could recognice the problem only on this airfield I suspect more my transferred PE-campaign. But I only suppose it, I have no proof. Greetings and have a nice weekend!

Hallo @Pol, during the test no mods. In the past ... difficult to say, because I have tested some mods. Maybe only a new installation is the right way. I must think about it. Thanks for your answer and Greetings!

Thanks for answers so far! After my test-campaigns (see first post) the interesting thing is, that the AI-Landing-Problem seems to have a relation to the airfield. Only Le Clos Ferme/Boncourt I have seen it. The AI-Landing on the airfields of the other test-campaigns were okay. Hallo @catch, to avoid misunderstandings: we talk about problems with the AI-Landing for ALL machines of your flight, not only the pilot-AI (and only the AI lands the other machines). And I never have seen landing-crashes from the AI with UE and PE before. Greetings!

Hi all, BH&H2, Version 1.13, no mods. I have transferred my PE-campaign to BH&H2: Jasta 15, Juni 2017, Alb DIIIEarly, airfield Le Clos Ferme/Boncourt in Marne. I did realize that the AI-Pilot landed with crashes every second / third mission. It happened with my own aeroplane and also with the squadron-aeroplanes. Sometimes it is a collision, sometimes a full crash with the typical brown spot. And additionally, when I click on „details“ after the mission, all is okay, all pilots all machines! To be sure, I looked into the settings, but all was okay: „Outcomes – normal“, „Invincible – off“. To analyze this AI-landing-problem I started at first a complete new test-campaign with an other year, other Jasta, other aeroplane, other airfiled and the AI-pilot worked withouit mistakes during landing. „Okay,“ I thought, „the system / installation is okay, it seems.“ Now I started the second new test-campaign , but exactly with the base-data from my transfered PE-campaign with the landing-problems (see above); Jasta 15, Juni 2017, Alb DIIIEarly, airfield Le Clos Ferme/Boncourt, Marne. And … 3 full landing-crashes with AI-pilot on the second mission! My aeroplane was only a brown spot and also two other aeroplanes. I could not get into my virtual cockpit (so I’m dead normally) but after the mission „details“ have shown, that all machines, all pilots were okay. So it was my conclusion, that my transferred PE-campaign ist not the problem. Maybe the airfield? So I started the third test-campaign: same time (Juni 2017), Alb DIIIEarly and DII, but an other airfiled (Vivaise, Marne ) via Jasta 1. That is full action. More than 10 birds started and landed and the AI-pilot … worked perfectly! No collisions, no crashes during landing. So my result is, that maybe the airfield Le Clos Ferme/Boncourt, Marne is the source for this problem. Is it possible? Thanks for answer and Greetings!

Hallo @Von S, Thank you very much for your info! I'm going to update the mod-list for PE on SimHQ the next days with your result. For BH&H2 I haven't added the @Xjouve-mods, because I have no info from him. And you are right: you can't host the mods without permission. Greetings!
