BE series fixed issue with prop hub being see through in certain conditions. Version 1.33 2 August 2022 With new fantastic features; 1) Implemented graded manoeuvres ratings for all WW1 aircraft as they improved over time. Lower manoeuvre ratings means the AI will carry out less complex manoeuvres. 2) 2 Seaters that were used as 'fighters' will now behave more historically correct. 3) Pilot Skill, Morale and Health now directly affects the AI aircraft manoeuvres capabilities dynamically in runtime - a wounded/injured pilot will start to carry out less complex manoeuvres. 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. Version 1.32 4 July 2022 1) Addressed an issue in Training that on bad weather days that are cancelled, the campaign does not advance by a day correctly. 2) Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented manual time advance of more than one day working correctly. 3) Fixed an issue in Keyboard and Joystick Bindings that incorrectly mapped Button 1 function to POV 1 under certain circumstances: WOFFKeys Upgraded to V2.1 Version 1.31 15 June 2022 1) Default Key Settings now include the new Recon Wars commands. When using the WOFFKeys tool to reconfigure keys and controllers and choosing “Reset All to Default” you will now have the Recon Wars key commands reassigned correctly for taking Photos, taking and dropping Notes, and for Radio Transmission. Make sure you have the correct loadout selected before flying your mission too! Version 1.30 6 June 2022 1) Addressed loadout issues with F.E.2b and B.E.12 HD Aircraft, Aviatik BI, BII, CI, Rumpler. 2) Addressed an issue that caused 'AI Weather' to be generated more than once per day. Version 1.29 26 May 2022 1) Addressed a Missing Winter Texture Overlay for Autumn Light, Winter Light, and Winter Full. Version 1.28 19 May 2022 1) Dual Role Squads: Fighter 'B Flights' are no longer recommended to load up Reccy type equipment, because A flight actually carries out the Reccy mission goals, and B flight assists by protecting them. Version 1.27 6 May 2022 1) Fixed an issue that would sometimes result in Ace aircraft in A flight not always having bomb loadouts when required. 2) When a Ground Battle exists in your region, or is about to start in the next few days in your region, then time always advances by 1 day only. This will help ensure you do not miss the start of a battle. 3) Current Weather conditions now included in the 'Historical Weather Cancels all Flights' 'player decides' pop up message. 4) Keyboard and Joystick Bindings Tool Revised to V2.0: 1) User is prompted to save if 'exiting after changes' without having pressed the save button. 2) Simplified the editing of assigned joystick functions, all editing functions are available on clicking the bound item. 3) Fixed an issue in Win10 and Win11 where the Joystick Button 'repeat value' was sometimes no longer valid. 4) Implemented ability to assign axes to Gunner station. So you can for example now bind twist (rudder) to rotate. 5) Generally improved all round for ease of use. Version 1.26 20 April 2022 1) Fixed a target search issue that resulted in no 'French HQs' or 'USA HQs' being found. 2) Recon Wars CO Report was not being logged in the pilot log file correctly - Fixed for 1.26 going forward. Note: data that was not logged correctly for flights in Recon Wars prior to V1.26 cannot be recovered. Version 1.25 14 April 2022 1) Fixed Camera sight and Bomb sight on the Nieuport 12 aircraft model. Version 1.24 7 April 2022 1) RFC 56 no longer has Aces flying N17s in April 1917 (was originally meant for Albert Ball only) 2) Fixed an issue that resulted in no weather setting being included when saving QC Missions as Scenarios. 3) Fixed a German HQ facility that had Allied flak guns deployed in error. Version 1.23 4 April 2022 1) Revised Cloud lighting at night - removed red hue 2) Fixed an issue with enlisting in some Jasta squads. 3) Revised Flak Effect Version 1.22 25 March 2022 1) Revised Flak Textures 2) Fixed an XML compatibility issue in Simulation.xml 3) Workshop settings for either disabling, enabling or allowing the user to decide 'on the fly' what to do in bad weather in campaign, now extends to allow users to control what he wants to do on Poor Recon weather days. 4) Cancelled Flights due to Weather:- Time now always advances by 1 day only. Version 1.21 'Recon Wars' Expansion Free Add-on - MAJOR UPDATE 21 March 2022 1) Squadrons carrying out Reconnaissance missions now only have B flight on duty and with up to a limit of 2 max aircraft, 3 if in a French Squad. 2) Reconnaissance missions are seldom escorted - dual Role squads often have a fighter or 2 accompanying in A Flight. 3) Reconnaissance Squadrons now predominantly carry out Reconnaissance type missions with occasional Bombing runs. 4) Bomber Squadrons now predominantly carry out Bombing type missions with occasional Reconnaissance runs. 5) AI Flights now on Reconnaissance runs are limited to 1 or 2 max AC. 6) Fighter squadrons now only escort 2 seaters if they are carrying out a bombing mission and have reduced frequency of Escort type missions. 7) Increased Flak in early years. 8) Fixed a non critical error that would sometimes occur when calculating a frontlines patrol point. 9) Frequency of operations when in Historical mode is now also a function of the year, in addition to being a function of the squadrons Ops rating. So in early years days can advance by more than one day after a mission or on 'T+' to Next Flight. 10) Revised mission briefing Notes for Reconnaissance and Artillery Spotting missions and recommended loadouts. 11) Fixed an issue where rain would sometimes be rendered in Winter instead of snow. 12) Taking Notes, Recon Photos and Sending Messages via R/T and dropping weighted Note Bags during Flight i.e. 'in mission' are now implemented, and real in sim data is gathered: New key assignments and their role;

'Shift+P' - Pilot/Observer Take a Photo:

AC must be equipped with a Camera, be at the correct height, be flying level and below any cloudbase as

applicable - limited to 5 plates.

Photos cannot be taken in autopilot mode. Photos cannot be taken in the rain or in poor visibility conditions. It takes 10 seconds to load, focus, expose the Photo Plate and store it. Another Photo can only be taken after 10 seconds. It is best to use the 'bombsight' view - which is customised to be a 'camera sight' as appropriate to take accurate photos. Tip: Carefully read the requirements above to make sure you understand what is required, before heading off to the front. In flight, check the map (press M to toggle) to see the target waypoint. Make sure you are right over it before you take your photographs. If you need more help, bring up TAC (press Shift+T together) to check your position is over the red rectangular "box" area of the target when taking a photo. With a bit of practice you should do well. 'Shift+R' - Observer Send a Message via R/T: AC must be equipped with a Radio Telegraph set, have an Observer to send the Message, be at the correct height. The R/T Set must have suitable Battery Strength. Approximately 5 messages can be relayed before the battery is depleted. It takes 10 seconds to send the Morse Message. Another Message can only be sent after 10 seconds. 'Shift+I' - Pilot Write a Note down: AC must be equipped with a Pilots NoteBook Set - limited to a number of notes. It takes 10 seconds to write down the Note. Another Note can only be made after 10 seconds. 'D' - Drop Notes: (In a weighted Note Bag) whilst flying - for example at Frontline HQ. The mission briefing will state if the note is to be dropped at the HQ. Notes cannot be dropped if none are taken, or a Notebook is not available (not loaded). Best to be below 100m when doing this. Note: There is confirmation of these actions in the TAC text display (Shift+T) (toggles on/off) and its text messages (Ctrl+T) If you are not using the TAC then you can read these confirmations via the messages at the top of screen (Shift+D). There are also stats for the 'loadouts' displayed in the HUD (F5). Tips: Using the map (M) will show the waypoints, and the target area waypoint should be obvious as it will usually be in, or beyond, No Mans Land (large brown region at the front!). Fly to that target object and when over it, take your Notes (or Photo, or Radio message depending on the mission). The next waypoint is the friendly HQ so you can drop the finished notes at the correct place. If you need more help, using the TAC will help you to see the rectangular areas that define the target and the HQ that you must be flying over. Remember before flying to check your load-out is correct, add a camera, radio, or notebook as appropriate. Nothing more embarrassing than getting over the target and finding you forgot your notebook. 13) Notes, Photos, Messages, and Dropped Note Bags are evaluated at the end of the mission. (Mission Details -> Recon Details) This is based on final state of the players AC, Pilot and Observer, the AC Attitude: Roll/Pitch. As well as Altitude, Visibility, Location where Photos, Notes and Messages are taken, and Notes dropped. The results are compared to the mission objectives. Photos can be determined as blurry, over exposed, hazy etc despite being taken within the correct proximity to the mission objective. R/T messages are not always received despite being sent from the correct location. 14) Mission Debrief Details screens relate to the player how successful his mission Intel gathering was - Recon Details Icon now appears in Mission Details as appropriate. Clicking this Icon takes the player to a detailed interface showing Intel gathered. 15) Radios and Cameras can be damaged and rendered in-operable. 16) The Camera cannot be operated if Pilot is too injured. 17) Notes cannot be made if Pilot is too injured. 18) Radio Messages cannot be sent if the Observer is too injured 19) Exposed Photo Plates can be damaged after being taken, based on the players AC damage level after landing. 20) Artillery Spotting or 'Battery Ranging' - if Notes are being taken re 'fall of shot' due to non availability of R/T sets, then they sometimes have to be dropped off at a local HQ. Otherwise they must be returned to your Squadron Commander at your homefield. 21) Reconnaissance - if Notes are being taken due to non availability of Cameras, then they sometimes have to be dropped off at a local HQ. Otherwise they must be returned to your Squadron Commander at your homefield. 22) Photos are always returned with you to your homefield. 23) The Sector HQs along the frontlines, introduced in BH&HII, are now available in QC in the 'Over The Lines' QC Quick Flight Type. Note: Because the frontlines move and were often 'vague' the red frontlines on the maps are a guide only - as they were in the war - this has always been the case. Territory can change before your map is updated. It is why you are sometimes captured when you are forced to land and you considered yourself to be over the line in friendly territory 'map frontline wise' in No Mans Land. It is therefore always advisable to try to get well clear of the front when forced to ditch with engine failure, damage etc. 24) Loadouts: Player must select an appropriate 'Loadout' for his mission objectives as outlined in the briefing. 25) Altitude and Range From Objectives: Notes must be made within 150 to 1650m (Visibility Dependant) of Objective and not too Low - must be at the flight altitude approx. Notes (in a weighted Bag) must be dropped when instructed to do so within 200m of Drop Objective point and at an altitude not higher than 150m. Photos must be taken within 350m of Objective point at the instructed flight altitude height approx. R/T (Radio) Messages must be sent within 150 to 1650m (Visibility Dependant) of Objective point and not at a low altitude - > 1000m. Low Altitude results in poor signal transmission that are too weak to be received properly. 26) Loadout Availability: Sometimes Radios and Cameras are not available as they are either out of order or removed for service - player will then have to use his note book. 27) Oblique Photo Recon from friendly lines is not catered for. 28) All Squadron Operations for Player and AI are now affected by Weather. This affects Mission Types and Altitudes and is switchable in Workshops. On Heavy Cloud or Raining/Snowing Days where the weather is not quite bad enough to call off operations then: 1) Operations for all Squadron types generally become more defensive in nature (mainly within Friendly lines). 2) They also take place at lower alts and Recon Photographing and or Artillery Ranging for Reconnaissance Squadrons cannot be undertaken. 29) Recon/Artillery Spotting (Battery Ranging) outcomes on Notes/Photos and R/T messages are collated in the pilot’s Dossier Log. These can then be seen when 'mouse moving' over the specific Mission Remarks (right hand page) in the pilots Log Book. 30) Revised Flak levels over the years at frontlines. 31) Revised weather algorithm for historically 'Good' and 'Light' days. 32) Added new exterior mounted camera loadout models for a selection of German and British aircraft: Aviatik BI, Aviatik BII, Aviatik CI, RAF BE2c, RAF BE2c Early. Note - All AC that had Cameras and or R/T capability can still be used for Recon in the expansion - but the 3D models of these units are not represented yet in game. Some cameras of course were fitted internally, and some were also hand held. 33) Added Camera-sight and Bomb-sight to Nieuport 12 model. 34) In game AC Labels revised to display 'On reconnaissance' instead of 'On patrol' when appropriate for Reccy craft. 35) Some General Comments about BH&HII Recon Wars: Recon craft are very vulnerable and the best tactic is to get as high as possible within the mission parameters. Always adjust your 'Circle Up Waypoint' to a suitable location away from the frontlines to avoid flak and enemy fighters. To do this select the Circle Up waypoint in the waypoint selection list in control bar below the map in the briefing room. Move the waypoint using the Up Down Left Right buttons located above the waypoint selection list. Also bear in mind when locating your 'circle up point' that enemy fighters tend to fly within friendly lines - more so the Allied fighters than the Central Powers. Make sure you load up the recommended loadout for the recon mission as indicated in the briefing text. If you are instructed to air drop notes at an HQ then be very cautious about your approach to the HQ. Return to friendly territory at a high altitude, especially when crossing the front lines, to avoid ground fire as much as possible and then turn and approach the HQ from the friendly side. Set 'Forced Encounters' to 'Off' or maybe 'Medium' (which is quite hard) in Workshops if you want to experience a more accurate and longer duration career. Remember 'Forced Encounters' is there to enable players in fighter craft to gain more combat exposure in a shorter period of 'sim time'. 36) Damaged/Shelled airfields are now populated with a certain number of 'Blown Trees' and some 'damaged buildings/smoke' as well as showing bombardment shellholes around the perimeter. 37) If you fly at very high altitudes for more than 10 minutes and your AC is not equipped with heating systems and or Oxygen, your vision slowly deteriorates. (Goggles Glass effects must be on in Workshops). Your Vision slowly recovers as you descend to reasonable altitudes. 38) Implemented Filters in QC interface to optionally filter Aircraft on 'year' and or 'type'. 39) Implemented a 'Random Aircaft' setting for opposing AC in QC that will randomly put up different enemy aircraft each time you fly - and filtered appropriately by the players 'filter settings' as described in 38) 40) When a 'Random Aircraft' is selected in QC the distance from player is randomly changed automatically every run. 41) Improved high altitude performance of all AC. 42) Fixed an issue where some target facilites did not have suitable target items for bombers. 43) In the News Interface you can now peruse Previous News Paper Editions. 44) In the Campaign Interface you can now always peruse Latest/Recent News via the News Icon so its now easy to catch up on News you might have missed after Hospitalisation,Time Advance, or Captivity etc. Note 1: The Latest News date might be before the Current Campaign Date if there is no news for the Current Day Note 2: News for the Day (if any) is still automatically announced after the Morning Briefing. 45) Implemented Workshop settings for either disabling, enabling or allowing the user to decide 'on the fly' in campaign about the Historical Weather Cancelling all Flights - '24/48 Hours All Flights Cancelled' Note 1: This only applies when the user is using Historical Weather Mode and not AI Weather Gen Mode - see page 1 of Workshops. 46) Added 65 new skins for some 2 seaters kindly made by user WOFF user ‘Jerbear’! These are for the following aircraft; Aviatik C.I, DFW C.V, Hannover CL.III, Roland C.II, Rumpler C.IV. 47) Various minor aircraft model and loadout fixes. F.E.2b, Rumpler C.IV - mapping tweaks. B.E.2c series, B.E.12, Morane L, Hannover CL.III - loadout adjustments. Of course V1.21 also includes ALL PREVIOUS PATCHES ; Version 1.20 7 January 2022 1) Allied and Central Powers 'incursion' range limit 'on or off' is now selectable in workshops, individually - see Version 1.19 items 7) and 8) 2) Fixed a text display issue on some of the Aircraft Stats pages. 3) Fixed an issue that prevented the Zeppelin R type from appearing in the Quick Combat lists. The patch of course includes ALL of the following previous updates; Version 1.19 4 January 2022 1) Changed weather cloud system to reduce frequency of dark and light clouds being mixed. 2) Aircraft stats page is now a window not full-screen. 3) Revised City surrounds and City center alpha masks. 4) Revised Vehicle lighting. 5) Revised Saturated clouds and cloud lighting. 6) Revised Sea Bias and fixed an issue in Facility Lighting. 7) German fighters will no longer engage, and will break off a fight if too far over enemy territory in campaign mode Note: AC will always defend themselves if attacked! 8) Allied fighters will no longer engage, and will break off a fight if too far over enemy territory in campaign mode Note: AC will always defend themselves if attacked! 9) AI fighters will no longer attack landing AC for fear of ground guns nor will they pursue enemies deep into enemy territory if they are running. 10) Improved 'go home descend' altitude validity checks. 11) Improved AI Ground avoidance in hilly terrain. 12) Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause damaged AC to circle 'endlessly' in GA mode. 13) Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause GA mode to affect ground strafing and or balloon attack. 14) Fixed an issue at certain airfields that caused AI to collide with trees in proximity to the landing area. 15) Progressive AC system damage is now a function of AC speed where applicable. 16) Improved thunderstorm sounds (thanks to Creaghorn) . Version 1.18 16 November 2021 1) Revised Damaged airfield blending. 2) Revised start-up of WOFF for new OBD logo. 3) Fixed a database error in MFJII squadron file.

The controls now give a better ability to more finely tune and optimise the scenery and terrain to get maximum FPS with the best visual eye candy possible. Good starting points on a reasonably good PC are Terrain Quality 2 or 3 and Scenery Density 3 or 4, - 5 being for very good GPUs 3080 or better. 6) Revised Clouds, Textures, and Lighting. Version 1.16 6 September 2021 1 ) Fixed an issue that prevented the AI bombers from bombing when player is in bombardier station. 2) Aircraft changes; a) Added Bomb-sight to all 2-Seaters (except Nieuport 12); Aviatik BI Aviatik BII Aviatik CI Aviatik CI SOL Aviatik CI OBS Breguet14 A2 Bristol F2b Caudron G4 DFW CV DH4 FE2b Gotha GIV b) Added Bomb-sight to Strutter B1 (single seater bomber). c) Also Breguet14 fixed hub of blurred prop, fixed small issue on lower LOD when zooming out. d) Fixed fuselage mapping issue on N24, N24 Bis, N24 Bis Lewis, N24 Lewis, N27.
