21 March 2022 ‘RECON WARS’ - OUT NOW! Our FREE update for “Wings Over Flanders Fields Between Heaven & Hell II” users is now available! Please see the WOFF BH&H II downloads page to get the WOFF BH&H II update V1.21 - this will give you the free expansion ! We highly recommend reading the ‘History of Changes’ section for the latest important notes and instructions. For your convenience, these ‘Recon Wars’ Notes can also be downloaded here.

As we revealed recently, for the first time in any combat flight sim you are now able to carry out proper Reconnaissance and Artillery Spotting missions to gather Intel and preserve the data via Notes, Photography or Radio Telegraphy, all in a full dynamic campaign. Real in-simulator data is collated to evaluate how you fare with your tasks over the very dangerous front lines. So no taking photos over the local French drinking establishment instead and passing those off to the commander! Air drops too have been implemented and at times you have to drop your Intel off at HQ in a "Weighted Bag" at 100m or lower (!) which needless to say can be a harrowing experience for even seasoned pilots given the ever present flak and MG fire around the front lines. The flak and ground fire will vary out there be careful if you approach an area with several ground forces or facilities nearby.

2 May 2024 WOFF BH&H II Update to V1.38 With this new V1.38 update, you can now expect to see greatly reduced aggressiveness, in combat situations, of several 2-seaters that have front guns - namely the D.H.4, Sopwith Strutter A2, Rumpler C.IV, D.F.W, Hannover C.III, Breguet 14 A2, R.E.8. Others that could act much more aggressively historically, will still do so, such as Bristol Fighter F2B, Roland C.II and F.E.2b. They will attack or defend. Note the F.E.2b is lumbering and slow, but its current behaviour lets it bring to bear the front observer gun, preferred to the ineffective rear gun which was dangerous to use by the observer, as he had to bravely stand up high in the wind on the nacelle! The Breguet 14 could be used as a fighter, and perhaps some of the others not so effectively, however we feel this is the best solution, to change behaviour to the main role as a more traditional 2-seater. For more information we highly recommend reading the ‘History of Changes’ section on the downloads page for the full fix list, latest important notes, and game-play instructions. Please see the BH&H II Downloads page where you can read those and download the update. This also has the important help and instructions included for ‘Recon Wars’ so worth a read. Recon Wars is our new free 2-seater Expansion included with the update since V1.21). For your convenience, these Help and Notes specifically for Recon Wars can also be downloaded here.

13 September 2024 WOFF BH&H II OVER THE TOP - EXPANSION / DLC Development Update, September 2024 Welcome all to the latest Dev news Firstly, as you can see above, we have finalised the name for the new WOFF BH&H II Expansion; ‘Over The Top’ (WOFF OTT for short). We thought this was an apt tribute to the ground troops of WW1 who had to go ‘over the top’, and who were also supported by the air forces during these epic battles. We have had a little delay as we decided to take the time to complete a final aircraft - the superb Sopwith Dolphin, to make sure it made it into the DLC/Expansion. Great news for you guys :). More has also been added in the visual department, we’ll keep that a suprise until next time. So we have a little more to do, and all being well, Beta here we come soon. Remember if you want to help keep us going until we can release this please spare a donation, however small, it will help us get there!

Many thanks for listening.

23 April 2025

WOFF OVER THE TOP PATCH 1.17 NOW AVAILABLE! This V1.17 patch adds fixes for large airfields, and some aircraft 3D model fixes to the RE8 and BE12. Other fixes are included such as ‘Working up’ dual-role squads will no longer try to 'self escort' when not yet operational. Remember if you are tired of navigational excersises or test flights whilst non-operational, and yearning for some combat action, you can always advance / fast forward time in the WOFF manager campaign screen (use the >> button). Advance to a time when the squad is fully operational and in action. This update of course also includes all previous updates including the new fabulous free feature - animated grass and weeds at airfields, released since V1.15. The grass is seasonalised and its movement can vary depending on the wind! To download see the WOFF OTT EXPANSION DOWNLOADS page. You can also find help and more detailed information on new features or fixes in the ‘History of Changes’ section there.

19 May 2025

WOFF OVER THE TOP PATCH 1.19 NOW AVAILABLE! Version 1.19 brings an important fix for some missions. It also contains the updates to the pilot with nation centric uniforms where required released in 1.18 of course, with some tweaks in scenery and some minor aircraft model fixes).

To download see the WOFF OTT EXPANSION DOWNLOADS page. You can also find help and more detailed information on new features or fixes in the ‘History of Changes’ section on that downloads page.

30 July 2025

Disclaimer: Of course this is currently in development, so features and content could possibly change before release. Of course we will publish the final list of features at release. Please note this Expansion will require the WOFF Over The Top Expansion

LATEST DEVELOPMENT NEWS We are pleased to announce the WOFF ‘THE LAST HURRAH’ EXPANSION is in the later stages of development. This release is also no longer just an Aircraft pack, but an Expansion! This is currently progressing well. Here are just some key features we have currently in this new Expansion; • Dynamically cloned Aircraft models for more aircraft ‘Skins’ (Squad and Ace). Instances are now created dynamically by the WOFF TLH campaign engine. This is huge as it means that we can have many more Ace and Squad skins in the sky at the same time - up to 36 Ace or Squad skins per aircraft type! It also means less load on loading runtime from all the extra models not being used for that flight. It is great to see larger flights of skinned Ace aircraft! • Real Rivers, all newly created by OBD and integrated into the sim. This alone makes a big difference to immersion! • Two new flyable aircraft; Maurice Farman F.40 and the Siemens Schuckert D.III These are both very interesting aircraft at the opposite ends of the war period, and function. • 4 new generic airfields for the player for more variety and immersion. • Airfields near the front will be often damaged from enemy attacks and shelling. • At player airfields, buildings may be damaged in an attack and the player will see them rebuilt over the next few days! There will be newly created ground crew, some will attending to the rebuild of damaged hangers, some will be maintenance crew and others. • Includes French and Belgian Farman F40 Squads - for full campaign immersion. • Includes German SSW DIII Squads - for full campaign immersion • Balloon attack and defence are carried out with only a few aircraft from B Flight and this is emphasized in the briefings for TLH. • Most Aircraft 3D models have been improved, some more extensively. For example the Snipe was refreshed with various improvements such as new foot wells which included work to the 3D model and all its skins. • Many other fixes and improvements. Please note this Expansion will require WOFF ‘Over The Top’ Expansion installed.
