Glad you are up and running tone12. There's no change to how cockpit view works in the update. It is more likely you fixed it when you re-bound your joystick controls.

We have a long list of aircraft that we want to do, but hopefully one day...

If your flight is split over the front, when you finally land it is best to wait for them to also arrive and land (unless you are wounded or aircraft badly damaged). You can at least wait for them to be seen near a landing field. Otherwise, some could still be over the lines and then there's more of a chance they may not make it back. If you quit early we have to work out the results of those aircraft not yet accounted for. Of course when you have landed you could put time advance on.

What Gaw says basically. The sim does not "auto" change views at all. Go to WOFF's Workshops menu, and launch "ReMap Keys/Controllers" Select each controller you have and check what is bound to buttons and axis carefully. Remove or rebind whatever is not correct. Also on 2nd column at the top change the filter to "ViewControl" and see what's there from the keys point of view too.

I had a look, and I believe it is correct. Several images and videos show the controls as such. One crashed image shows "Advance and Retard" signs next to the side control indicating it is a mixture lever. In the FE2b in WOFF the throttle is on the control stick (look down, easier with TrackIR). There are images with the controls where I have them. If you have information to the contrary, then I'm all ears. I have also seen images with two levers on the opposite side (throttle/mixture it looks like) but maybe anoter other variant.

OK Becker02 thanks, I think the padding is actually bulkier there in LOD100 to give the effect. But looking at it, yes it's not the same. There may be many small things like that in aircraft, the LOD100 is reduced detail from the VC of course where it's right in your face and many 1000s of polys can be used. But next time I look at the Halb (s) maybe I will add it.

In the compatiblity properties for CFS3.exe, set it to run as an administrator. Sounds like your system is not allowing cfs3 to write the outcomes (or WOFF manager to read them). May need WOFF.exe setting to that too.

Ah well done McCarty13 sorry I missed this post originally. Not sure, 64 bit access is required, so depends if WIn7 compat also gives you 64 bit Win7. It may run in 32 bit mode but long missions may not run properly.

October 4, 2022. Hi all, We have posted more info and pictures on the website news section, for the recently announced BATTLE OF FRANCE Expansion coming soon to WINGS OVER THE REICH! Please check it out here !

Welcome gallen13, glad you are enjoying it too! No currently there's no more zoom, however you could open the bitmaps yourself on another PC or tablet etc, and zoom into the image yourself. Of course this way you would not get to see the current targets etc just the area itself. for example \WOFF\WOFFScenery\Period\1917\Map will have the current map up to May 1917. 1917-6 folder is from June onwards -the front line moves in WOFF.

Glad your vision was sorted Trooper117 - give the bally Hun hell!

Cockpit view press F4 to cycle the cockpit on /off. F6 views gunsight if it has 1.

Please see the new post in the News section!

We have updated the website with some new info and pictures on the development of the WOTR Expansion, hope you guys enjoy! https://www.wingsoverthereich.com

Ooh below the belt Sir. Luckily not any more, Britain has some very fine chefs and restaurants now and a world mixture of cultures.

WOFF BH&H II CHANGE LOG: Changes; Version 1.34 16 August 2022 1) Squadrons that are not 'operational' will no longer be forced to carry out historical (scripted) attack or defence missions. 2) Fixed an issue that did not return the player to the main menu correctly when an invalid/unavailable squadron craft is assigned in campaign. 3) Addressed a 'mission type' loop counter error in Gotha Squadrons and some other Bomber Squadrons when the player elects to fly in poor weather. 4) Fixed an issue that prevented the player loading rockets on certain aircraft in campaign. 5) Fixed an inventory display issue for Ace aircraft, when returning to planning room after having already setup payloads. 6) Addressed an issue that would sometimes cause the briefing room map to not be centred on the mission flight. 7) Addressed a naming issue in FA(A) 208s squadron database. 8) Aircraft minor fixes; Sopwith Pup adjusted view FOV slightly. Fixed issue with prop hubs on BEx series. Of course this includes our "RECON WARS" FREE expansion - an incredible feature-rich FREE update to V1.21 for WOFF BH&H II users! Please see the WOFF BH&H II download page on our website for more information, or to download. (The download is large so please be patient with downloads!).

I think Rick as asking what happened in the scrap between you and the Nieups.

Great pictures CaptSopwith. I must say the scenery in all those looks excellent but the last pic looks especially good, WM did a superb job.

Hello WOFF Pilots, A new exciting FREE update to V1.33, is out now for Wings Over Flanders Fields Between Heaven and Hell II with new features! Changes; Version 1.33 2 August 2022 1) Implemented graded maneuver ratings for all WW1 Aircraft as they improved over time. Lower Maneuver ratings means the A.I. carry out less complex maneuvers. 2) 2 Seaters that were used as 'fighters' will now behave more historically correct. 3) Pilot Skill Morale and Health now directly affects the A.I. aircraft maneuver capabilities dynamically in runtime- a wounded/injured pilot will start to carry out less complex maneuvers. 4) Fixed an issue that prevented the Sopwith Pup skins from changing correctly. 5) Aircraft model fix for the DH5 - converted it from pedal power (feet sticking through the floor), into a full adult version using an engine instead, and some other very minor tweaks to blurred engine, and wing tips. Some other misc fixes for other aircraft models.
