I don't fly WOFF UE anymore, because I've lost my Copy on my External Hard-Drive. My Hard-Drive fell down from the Table and was "destroyed". Everything is lost on this HD. I do still own WOFF 2, but after Installing it on my brand new System (i7-7700k, ASUS Geforce GTX 1060 6GB and 16 GB RAM), WOFF was still stuttering. Always had technical Problems with WOFF on my different Computer-Systems. But I still fly Campaigns in good old OFF Phase 3 and Rise of Flight with PWCG. And I still do also play Campaigns in IL2 Sturmovik 1946. Very sad I can't Play WOFF UE anymore, I would for sure try to work with this very good Game, but as I said, my Copy of WOFF UE ist lost. So I play some "older" Flight-Sims, being happy with the things I have...

Hmmmm.... with my Settings the Game was running very good, but..... I couldn't use Ankor's fantastic Shadow-Mod anymore. When I enabled this Mod, the Game crashed when loading a Mission. So I changed the D3DSWAPEFFECT back to DISCARD. And guess what, the Mod is running again fine, liquid and smooth as never before...No Stutters! So everything that must be changed are the Index and Vertex Pools to D3D_MANAGED. That's all. Leave the Rest as it is! Otherwise the Shadow-Mod will not work. You'll see, it gives a great punch in Performance... See in this Picture what must be changed... Please do this in BOTH the DefaultOverrides and ConfigOverrides!!!! Both are in C:/YourName/User/AppData/Roaming/OBD_Games

Thanks for your Answers, Olham! I think I have found one great step to my personal final Solution. I've tweaked the ConfigOverrides.XML. I didn't just know what else to do...Sure it is a difficult way and it needs time and patience, but the Results are much more better now. WOFF now runs nearly as smooth and liquid as it was in OFF Phase 3. I've changed the D3DSWAPEFFECT to Copy_Vsync, and the Index and Vertex Buffer Pools to D3DPOOL_MANAGED. These are nearly my same Settings as they were in OFF HitR. Now I have solid 50-60 FPS with my Sliders on 5,4,4,5,5, and even with 16x Time Acceleration my FPS are at 20, and it runs smooth as silk. Microstutters are eliminated at 95%. My NVIDIA-GPU Driver has 32x CSAA and 4x Supersampling. Triple-Buffer ON, VSYNC is ON. Pre-rendered Frames are at 5. Anisotropic Filter at 8x. But still some small (really small) Stutters when I fly over the Frontlines. Will go on and see, how I can reduce this... I know this was the wrong thread for this...Sorry...

Intel i5-2500k (3,4 Ghz) and a Geforce GTX 660 with 2 GB Memory, and 8 GB RAM. I'm so confused WOFF is still stuttering. Yes, it's OFF here......

Brilliant Pics Olham, I wish I could just enjoy WOFF as much as you do. I'm still having Stutters all the time, no matter what I do. I've tried dozens of different Combinations between WOFF and the GPU-Driver, but nothing helps. Always fighting with my GPU and WOFF to get it run smooth and liquid. After all these Months I still haven't found a way to play it without Problems... But I won't give up...

It's really good, try it. It's worth the Money! You can fly the Fokker E 1 (with the Parabellum Machine Gun), or the Fokker E 2, or the very early Be 2 ( with your Observer using only a Rifle, I think). With this Planes, you can start your Career in 1915. New Add-Ons are in the works. As far as I can tell, I've found in the Profile-Folder (Campaigndata) the following Pictures: Gotha GIV, HP 0-400 and a German Zepellin. When they will be released, I can not say. It sure takes a lot of time.

Great Pics!

Thanks a lot CaptSopwith! OFF still looks amazing

CaptSopwith, could you please tell me, what are your Settings? I've changed the D3DSwapeffect from COPY_VSYNC to DISCARD, but that doesn't seem to help. I am having the same Problems, bad stutters in OFF with Ankor's Mod. My Card is a Geforce GTX 660. The Mod runs well, but those stutters are killing my fun. Thanks for your Efforts

OK no one really wanted this reply...

Guys, I do not want to say anything critical about WOFF. I really like the Game, and I'm happy to play such a great Simulation. I really appreciate it. The Developers did a great Job and the whole thing is a very nice Project. But from time to time I enjoy playing the old OFF Phase 3, because it made so much fun and I enjoyed it so much, until WOFF came out. Call me a Nostalgic! That's all. I really hope WOFF will "live" for many Years with many Add-On's and Patches and Mods and Stuff like that, and I even really enjoy both Forums. Happy Easter

Yes, it's a really,really well done Modification, and I love it

I am playing both Games. WOFF still has some visual bugs and it's stuttering, even after 22 Patches. And I am playing with a very powerful Machine...So from time to time I am often going back to OFF and I enjoy the smooth Gameplay and the much better looking Scenery IMO. And of course my Sound Mod, which I have updated and I am still working on some Samples today! I like this kind of Modding. I am actually working on a Sound Mod for WOFF too, but I think this Project will need a lot of time. Don't get me wrong, I love WOFF and I am collecting everything I can get for it, the Mods, the Patches and the Add-On Packs. And I hope some Day, maybe with some Final Patch, the bugs will be erased and the Game will run smoothly and fine like OFF.

Looking great !!!

This Film was made in a German Plane, flying over the Battlefields of Flanders in 1918. Very interesting Stuff. http://www.filmportal.de/video/im-flugzeug-ueber-den-kampfstaetten-der-flandernschlacht-fruehjahrs-offensive-1918-aufnahme-de The Site is in German. You can also see hundreds of most unknown WW1-Films on this Site: http://www.europeanfilmgateway.eu/node/33/efg1914/multilingual:1/showOnly:Video Regards

Okay here it is... http://combatace.com/files/file/13045-jonesoft-generic-mod-enabler-jsgme/

You can simply use the JSGME-Program with Self-Installer which was created by Lothar for Phase 3. Causes no Problems.

Problem solved Downloaded WOFF and tried it for the first time this Morning. Very interesting! Some Things are completely different as in Phase 3, so I have to sneak around this whole new Stuff and see what will happen next...

I do not have some Money on my Paypal-Account, so I transferred the Money from my Bank off at AVANGATE. It was also charged. That was 7 Days ago and I'm still waiting for my Confirmation-Email, so I can finally download WOFF. Gradually, I get angry and my fancy to further wait is over. Today they will get a serious Phone Call from me. I'll probably have to do without WOFF until I have something left to supplement my Paypal-Account. Then I fly just a few weeks with Phase 3 on. Ridiculous all, I'm pissed genuine.

Hi all, I've made an Update for my Sound Mod, it's now Version 3.3 Many things are new, so if some of you are still interested, here's the Link: http://combatace.com/files/file/13882-andys-sounds-update/ Questions and Comments are welcome... Have Fun

Ahh, that's the Problem! The Frontambience is too loud! Okay, you can simply try to adjust the Sound-Levels. In Workshop Settings, I recommend for Engines 50, for some Planes (Fok Dr1, Fok EV or Nieuport 11) you can even set it to 70 or 80. Effects should stay on 100, but you can try to set it down to 80. You can of course try to modify the Sounds-XML File. You can do this with a very small Program called "XMLmind-Editor". Google it and you will find it, it's freeware and this small Program is very simple to use! Open the File (just click on it) and scroll down the XML-File, to the End. The very last Entry of this File is called "Front1". You will see different Values, but please concentrate yourself on the two Entrys called "MaxDistance=2200" and the second "MinDistance=400". Now click on this Entry called "Front1". On the right Side you will now see the different Values, and you can now tweak them. Just set the MinDistance down to 50, for Example. Now the Explosions should be much more quiet. Or try to set down the MaxDistance to 500, you will then hear the loud Explosions only for a short time. Save the XML-File to your Desktop (important!) and now replace the old one in your CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields-Folder. If you have further Questions, please send me a PM and I will try to help you. But it's possible that I'm away now for two Weeks or so, because my Wife and I are moving into a new House. So I'll need my WLAN-Access back, but I don't know when this will be ready. Sorry for my bad English Best, Andy

Do you play with a Sound-Card or do you use the Soundchip on your Mainboard? Just try to re-install your Mainboard-Drivers, or download the latest Driver from their Homepage. And you can try to update your GPU-Driver, I'm playing actually with the Geforce 320.49 Driver, which is very good. The GPU-Driver is very important for Sound... Andy

If you are playing without Lothar's OFFice Mod, it should cause no Problems. Simply put the 3 different Mods into your JSGME Mods-Folder and activate them. If you want to play with OFFice, you can try to rename the Folder "Andy's Sound Mod 3.3" into the Name of the Previous Version. I'm not sure, but I think with OFFice it will work then. I really don't know. I'm playing without OFFice and I always put the Samples directly into the Sound-Folder, so I don't have to activate this via JSGME. The new XML-File replaces the old XML-File in the "CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields" Folder. I will ask Lothar if he can put together a Package with the correct Paths for OFFice! Enjoy your Flight

Both, Olham. I've found the 7. Edition of the Book, this one is from 1942, and some Words are of course pure Propaganda, but not too much. Yes, Goering has written the Introduction. And of course you can see his big Portrait in the Book. But the Book is also historical, nearly every German Ace which has served in JG1 is listed here with exact listing of aerial Victories and Places of Action. Bodenschatz was the Adjudant of von Richthofen and has of course worked together with him closely, up to his Death. Some good Insights into the World of the German Air Force.
