Wings over Flanders Fields

[guynemar]

Merci pour ton retour, en effet me voilà dans le cockpit d'un Nieuport 10 en 1915 sur le front de la Marne ! ^^

Par contre j'ai un soucis, il m'arrive souvent en fin de mission lorsque je suis posé au terrain, que je fais Ctrl+Q puis Entrée pour quitter la mission que le jeu se quitte, retour au bureau.
Est-ce que qq'un a rencontré ce problème ?
C'est particulièrement embêtant après un long vol victorieux, car pas prise en compte bien sur.

[actionjoe]

Salut, non, pas particulièrement rencontré ce problème désolé...

Nouvelle extension pour WOFF :
WOFF Platinum edition

Contents and Improvements WOFF Platinum V5.00

1) Revised Terrain Tiles and Scenery object textures - all seasons. A large undertaking as we have 12 front lines states for various parts of the war, plus each of those has several "seasons"!

2) Improved Terrain Blending.

3) Improved Scenery objects density and draw distance and reduced haze for greater distance visibility.

4) Revised Sound system volume mix levels and improved many sounds.

5) Ground based MGs now no longer have tracers.

6) Increased gun/artillery fire along the frontlines - changes from day to day - more battles can now be seen in action.

7) Player can now restart engine after landing/end of mission and game physics is no longer halted - eg trucks no longer stop moving etc - Note player may now be attacked when landed in good health.

8) Revised damaged and ruined scenery building and frontlines object models.

9) If player now tries to start engine with low fuel or a damaged engine the instructor states it and engine start is not attempted.

10) Now quiting a mission over enemy lines or when forced down in ememy territory, the aircraft is 'captured' and is accounted for as a lost machine even if the player escapes and returns to duty.

11) Improved aircraft accounting systems.

12) Outcomes system now specifies the airfield that each individual squadron member landed at, including player, as opposed to the current formation squad landing destination specified.

13) Outcomes system now specifies if the aircraft was over (or forced down on ground) in enemy territory or friendly territory when mission ends.

14) QC Fuel and Ammo selections are now persistent mission to mission when player remains in QC.

15) AI captivity (and loss of aircraft) is now no longer a die roll but is determined by AI Pilot health, AI Aircraft health, AI Remaining fuel, and AI Distance Behind Enemy Lines. at the time the mission ends - these are used to reasonably determine whether the AI pilot makes it home or not.

16) If the Player quits the mission whilst in/over enemy territory or is forced down in enemy territory the distance Behind Enemy Lines is now reported.

17) Operations (Air Activity) radii for Local and Regional Squadrons (Living World) are now displayed on the briefing map - they vary with workshops regional air activity settings, with player location, and types of operations/craft assignment (These are not changed from WOFFUE - just the rings display is added).
Note these rings dictate which squads are 'active/available' to put up flights and is NOT the limit of these squads flight paths.
The rings simply dictate which squads in the theatre may fly - thus it is possible that flights paths can then exceed the raddii of the rings if the specific squadrons target/directives selected during mission creation determine such (OOB system specific)!
The percentage of squads within the two radii that fly is dictated again by the workshops regional air activity setting - its used for the two functions.

Targets/Directives for the squads 'activated' by the Local and Regional radii (Search Functionality):
Fighters:
Fighter Squads generally obey their typical target range allowance as dictated by the squadron database (in Teds Squad file) - limited to a max of 70 miles.
However if they cannot find a target within that range for their given mission directive (one must understand we have a finite number of targets in any given area) the range allowance is increased incrementally by 5 miles until they do find one.
If they dont find one they simply use the last one found.
Note: at no stage do we abort the squads mission (cull the flight) - they will fly - this is important especially in sparsely populated areas (squads and targets) and early years to keep air activity going.

2 Seaters:
2 Seater Squads generally obey their typical target range allowance as dictated by the squadron database - limited to a max of 70 miles.
However if they cannot find a target within that range for their given mission directive (one must understand we have a finite number of targets in any given area) the range allowance is increased incrementally by 25 miles until they do find one.
If they dont find one they simply use the last one found.
Note: at no stage do we abort the squads mission (cull the flight) - they will fly - this is important especially in sparsely populated areas (squads and targets) and early years to keep air activity going.

Heavies:
Heavy Bomber Squads generally obey their typical target range allowance as dictated by the squadron database - and basically have no limit apart from their operational range - as they are long range bombers
If they dont find one in range (seldom happens with Heavies) they simply use the last one found (this could be improved)
Typically these squads will be flying long routes.
Note: at no stage do we abort the squads mission (cull the flight) - they will fly - this is important especially in sparsely populated areas (squads and targets) and early years to keep air activity going.

This is all part of the OBD Living World system that is SPECIFICALLY designed to avoid only having activity along the players prescribed mission path - as most other campaign systems do - and to create a world that is alive wherever the player might end up going.

18) Centres of the Local and Regional Air Activity Radii is now the nearest frontline sector to the player - where applicable. (Note does not apply to England Germany and or Heavy Bomber squads) - as opposed to always being the players airfield.

19) Frontline patrols now take place along two points on the actual frontline positions whenever possible.

20) Implemented the ability to move/edit waypoints in the mission briefing screen, so that players can setup mission routes as desired.

21) Selecting 'Airstart' now specifies where you will start, and the waypoint lines up to Waypoint 1 or the specific start waypoint are removed.

22) The approximate distance that the players airfield is from the nearest frontlines is now reported in campaign intro as well as on the small airfield location map (BFL Behind Friendly Lines) top of main campaign GUI.

23) 'Reconnaissance' craft will now also carry out bombing runs if they can carry bombs.

24) Scramble and Escort Missions are now allowed with Historical Mission Types set on in Workshops - even if squad did not carry out the role historically - for improved variation in campaign play.

25) Mission Briefing screen map now includes miscellaneous waypoints that were deemed non critical and thus not displayed (UE Map only displayed critical waypoints and objectives) these are: Altitude Up (friendly side of lines near airfield), Altitude Down (Ground Attack missions near target) and Patrol an Area (Escort Patrol Reccy craft that must note troop and or fall of shot over an area).
They are now included to allow the player to adjust them along with the main waypoints see 20)

26) Implemented Gun Lever animations for ALL fighter aircraft - they animate when fired, jammed, and when unjamming the guns. Bullet belts also move. Vickers and Spandua are brand new models with others upgraded.

27) Revised aircraft effects: 'on fire', 'smoke', 'fuel leak', 'oil leak' etc

28) Incorporated Revised and Additional Squadrons with additional aircraft allocations and airfields for WOFF Platinum : Total Squadrons inorporated are now: British(90) French(184) and German(203) Squadrons.
New aircraft coming in 2020.

29) Incorporated 3rd party weather and news files.

30) Updated all 12 Global layers 1914, 1915, 1916, 1916+6, 1917, 1917+6, 1918, 1918+2, 1918+4, 1918+6, 1918+9, 1918+11 to incorporate the additional airfields required by the Squadron Update.

31) Both Player and Regional flight target selection criteria are now more tightly bound to the region of operations (Air Activity) radii.

32) Added improved search criteria for the enemy flights that the player may face whilst on his mission as well as increased variety.

33) Revised search criteria for obtaining local Fighter Squadrons - improving campaign immersion.

34) Revised the Slot/Rank Breakpoints and optimised for each Nation to allow better allocation of the 3 Aircraft slots by Rank.

35) Implemented the ability to switch the Wingman on or off in workshops - default is off - Note if a players pilot has a wingman, and the workshop setting is toggled off and then later put back on - the last assigned Wingman is not remembered/stored even if he is still alive in the squad.

36) Implemented the ability to fly Lone Wolf missions at will from campaign interface via a new button in the button bar if player is in a Fighter, and located in either Flanders, Marne, Verdun, or Alsace and the campaign year is prior to 1917.
He must have flown at least 5 missions.
Lone Wolf missions will still be randomly assigned as well.

37) Implemented the ability to adjust Lone Wolf mission waypoints in the mission briefing screen.

38) Implemented progressive damage modelling on the Player Fuel Tank systems together with a 'Fuel is leaking - FIRE risk' TACS message prompt and a persistant fuel leak effect (moving and static).
If the player leaves his engine running whilst fuel is leaking then slowly and randomly the fuel leak gets progressively worse and a fire and death can result.
Players should be vigilant of fuel leaks and kill the engine and land ASAP.

39) Implemented Pilot progressive health deterioration if wounds are severe (Progressive DM).

40) Implemented better visual effects for the player aircraft for coolant (non rotary craft) and oil system leaks/damage together with progressive damage functionality - and implemented message prompts on the TAC. (Progressive DM)

41) Implemented progressive damage modelling on all AI craft to match players new progressive DM.

42) Cloud edge clipping in cockpit view now eliminated.

43) Scrambles missions now have revised waypoint structure to ensure the AI pilots more readily engage the enemy.

44) Fighter cockpits have new guns, and many have other visual improvements.

Plus many other fixes and improvements.

Le coût est d'environs 25$

Voilà

Je me tâte pour le prendre

[PatCartier]

Alors, tu l'as pris ?

[jeanba]

Alors, tu l'as pris ?

Pas encore", j'attends un peu
Là, je découvre BoBp

[PatCartier]

Moi aussi ça fait quelques années que j'attends un peu^^

[actionjoe]

Moi je l'ai pris au début du mois dernier (plus par soutien aux devs), mais pas eu le temps de vraiment m'y pencher plus qu'un vol ou deux. Mais vu que ça faisait un moment que j'y avais pas joué, dur de dire ce qui avait vraiment comme changement. La super ambiance WW1 était toujours là, par contre!

[ago266 (Barnstormer)]

Heu !! C'est quoi ça ?

[jeanba]

Heu !! C'est quoi ça ?

Euh, dekoikiparle le monsieur ?

Il y a eu l' insertion d'une "pub pirate" dans le fil du post juste après la réponse d'actionjoe, je l'ai signalé et la modération la supprimée illico , merci

Bonjour

Je relance ce post parce que j'ai investi dans Over Flanders Fields UE, et j'espère pouvoir trouver de l'aide pour son fonctionnement.
Voilà, j'ai installé OFF et l'ai patché sur sa dernière version comme indiqué. Mais lorsque j'essaye de le lancer, un écran noir avec un petit icone "sens interdit" apparait, et retour sur le bureau. J'ai bien tenté des modifs de configuration avec la carte graphique (GTX950M) via le panneau, lancer l'executable en mode administrateur, chercher des infos sur le net, demander de l'aide sur le support du site ( pas de réponse pour l'instant ...), je ne trouve pas de solution.
Si quelqu'un a une petite idée svp

merci

[actionjoe]

Salut, tu as bien fait attention à mettre le patch pour la bonne version? Je lis que tu as acheté Ultimate Edition-> dont la dernière m-a-j date de juin 2019, tandis que la version la plus à jour est la Platinum Edition->dont la dernière m-à-j date de mai 2020 (c'est un peu compliqué de s'y retrouver, la prochaine version s'appelera Between Heaven and Hell II). Tu avais essayé de lancer le jeu avant de patcher?

Ensuite, tu n'as aucune autre indication que le sens interdit avant que ça retourne sur le bureau?

Pour information, le forum "officiel" du jeu, où tu pourras trouver FAQ et cie, se trouve sur SimHq
https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ ... ers-fields

[343KKT_Kintaro]

C'est curieux... "Wings over Flanders Fields" est un sujet dans le sous-forum de "Rise of Flight"? Comment ça se fait que WoFF n'a pas sa propre sous-section dans la section des simus d'aviation de Première Guerre mondiale ?

[tartinou]

re bonjour

D'abord merci de vous occuper de moi
J'ai eu réponse et solution de Mark sur le support de OFF. En fait j'ai un portable, et il faut inhiber un fichier de présentation au démarrage (.waw) qui génère ce soucis.
J'avais lu la FAQ, mais j'étais passé/pas compris l'explication en anglais
Dommage en effet qu'il n'y ai pas une petite section pour cette simu ...
J'irai donc voir sur simhq par la suite en essayant de me dépatouiller avec l'anglais .

[actionjoe]

Super que ton problème ait été résolu, bons vols!
Pour ce qui est d'une section à part, malheureusement, vu le nombre de joueurs qui s'intéressent à la WW1, et que ceux-ci sont aussi souvent des joueurs de ROF, ça n'était pas paru très pertinent de séparer.

[tartinou]

je m'en doutais ...
mais je reviendrai surement chercher de l'aide , car je ne suis pas très véloce en anglais, et encore moins pour les problèmes informatiques ...

[Poliakov]

En tout cas le jeu est toujours vivant

Une nouvelle version est en préparation:



Il a dit qu'une future annonce pour les nouveaux avions sera ajouté plus tard.

[343KKT_Kintaro]

Merci Poliakov !

Pour ce qui est de l'aspect graphique les modules "Flying Circus" de la suite "Great Battles" me semblent être encore un peu au-dessus, mais je suis sûr que WoFF II présentera d'autres avantages (apparemment le ciel et la météo seront particulièrement soignés).

[Poliakov]

Le plus gros avantage de WOFF c'est surtout sa campagne dynamique qui fait vivre de façon crédible la guerre aérienne durant la WW1. Sûrement de loin le simu tout époques confondus avec la meilleure carrière/campagne dynamique et la meilleure expérience solo à mon sens.

Le reste même si ça semble s'améliorer et au vu de la vidéo, un gros effort a été mis sur l'immersion dans le cockpit, mais ça reste largement en-dessous de la concurrence.

Mais pour ceux qui ne peuvent pas jouer en multi et qui ont un petit PC, se jeu est top, perso j'y joue sur mon PC portable quand je part en déplacement.

[343KKT_Kintaro]

Et la VR... WoFF II sera-t-il compatible VR ?

[Poliakov]

Et la VR... WoFF II sera-t-il compatible VR ?

A mon avis non ^^

[343KKT_Kintaro]

Dommage ! De toute façon j'en suis à quatre simus installés dans ma bécane... alors la série "Over Flanders Fields" elle passera à la trappe, ne serait-ce que pour une question de temps...

[actionjoe]

Salut, pour info, Between Heaven and Hell 2 est sorti (depuis quelques temps déjà), et il est en promo jusque fin mai (avec le VAT comptez 45 eur). Bon certes, c'est un gros patch* par rapport à la version précédente (Platinum, Ultimate, je ne sais plus?), mais puisque l'évolution du soft se fera sur cette version...Avec un processeur plus puissant, je profite du jeu sans les microstutters que j'avais auparavant. L'ambiance reste exceptionnelle.

(*la carte, enfin mise à jour est le principal truc qui m'a sauté aux yeux, il doit y avoir des choses niveau graphiques aussi, mais vu que ça faisait un bail que j'avais plus joué, j'ai pas tant remarqué. Possibilité aussi d'avoir un genre de "filtre" lunette de vol, qui te bouche un peu la vue sur les cotés, un peu gadget au début, on s'y fait un peu après).
