Three-In-One Update – WOFF, DCS, and IL*2

WOFF Expansion 3 Preview

WOFF Expansion 3 Preview

If you enjoy raining down death from above (and who doesn’t?), there have been a few recent developments on the aerial combat front which may put power into your propeller. If that last sentence made you scoff and/or roll your eyes then my opening sentence mission was a success. Wings: Over Flanders Fields, DCS World, and IL*2 Sturmovik all have released some new information/updates that should make you smile (Inwardly, at least).

Wings: Over Flanders Fields

The next big WOFF expansion, Expansion 3, has been announced and will be released this month. I’m kidding. Currently, there is no official release date for Expansion 3, so we’ll just put it under the Coming Soon™ category. WOFF 3 is shaping up to be a nice, big expansion, even if “some other cool items” haven’t been revealed to us just yet.

Teasing New Features

  • Improved Scenery
  • New Aircraft (details TBA, however one of the aircraft will be Sopwith Camel Bentley 150 HP version (see below)
  • New Lighting effects courtesy of AnKor – new blue sky and grass will tone the craft to add realism, and more.
  • Improved Aircraft damage model (DM) features for example new Cockpit Damage effects,
  • Slumped Pilots and Observers when killed.
  • New Campaign features and improvements, mission improvements.
  • New options in WOFF Manager

Personally, I can’t wait to find out what “New Campaign features and improvements” actually means (please let it mean recon updates).

DCS World

DCS-World-Update-1.5.3-Albatros-L39-L39ZAEagle Dynamics treated the public to update 1.5.3 for DCS World, as well as throwing the Albatros L-39 out into the wild with its accompanying training missions. The release of the L-39 coincides with its counterpart, the L-39ZA, so those of you who already have the Albatros will notice the new goodies after you update to 1.5.3 (if you haven’t already).

Update 1.5.3 is mostly a fixing/tweaking release, but you can check out the nitty-gritty details, right here.

IL*2 Sturmovik

IL2-Sturmovik-Update-1.107b-Ju88-A4Update 1.107b is now up and running, but the Ju-88 A-4 still needs some time in the hangar. However, it is tentatively scheduled to be released sometime early March, once the kinks are all worked out. Like the DCS update, IL*2’s 1.107b is mostly a maintenance patch to tweak and improvement the game:

Global:

  1. Crash dump files saving added;
  2. Workaround for ‘invisible planes’ bug added (it doesn’t fix the cause of their appearance since it is still unknown but eliminates its consequence);
  3. Logging for ‘invisible planes’ bug added;
  4. Logging for ‘incorrectly attached bombs/rockets/turrets’ bug added;
  5. Performance in the first Soviet scenario mission (first, summer, chapter of Stalingrad campaign) improved;
  6. Crash that could happen while playing back large recorded tracks has been fixed. Unfortunately, tracks recorded in previous versions of the game won’t work;
  7. Compatibility with third party overlay software improved (for example, Steam and Teamspeak overlays);

Improvements:

  1. It will be possible to tell which side controls an airfield before choosing your own allegiance in multiplayer;
  2. Multiplayer mission author will be able to specify a range of allowed unlocks, not just individual ones;
  3. IL-2 sight can be moved back and forth using LAlt-F command;
  4. Light reflection and relief detail improved on thin metal parts of IL-2 model 1941, IL-2 model 1942, I-16 type 24, MiG-3 series 24, Pe-2 series 35, Pe-2 series 87, LaGG-3 series 29, La-5 series 8, P-40E-1, Ju 87 D-3, Bf 110 E-2 and MC.202 series VIII;
  5. MC.202 cockpit canopy textures improved
