About
OUR AIM:  TO PRODUCE A WW2 COMBAT FLIGHT SIMULATOR THAT EXCEEDS OUR EPIC, IMMERSIVE, DEFINITIVE WW1 COMBAT FLIGHT SIMULATOR. TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO SIM HAS GONE BEFORE... TO SEEK OUT NEW SCENARIOS, NEW SINGLE PLAYER EXPERIENCES, AND TOTALLY IMMERSIVE DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN SYSTEMS.

Expanding on OBD's extensive new software systems as developed for our leading WW1 flight simulator "WINGS OVER FLANDERS FIELDS Ultimate Edition"

WINGS OVER THE REICH will encompass:  AI, Damage Modelling, Flight Modelling, Dynamic Immersive Campaigns, and a Living World Model. As well as new software systems currently under development including Radio Communications and Intercom Systems as specifically required for WW2.

Fly and fight in a fighter squadron or a bomber squadron and experience World War II in the air as never before. Culminating in the extensive devastation of Europe by the day and night bombing raids.  See towns and cities reduced to rubble over time.

"WOTR" will be released in phases (as was WOFF) to achieve the above goals over the next few years. Phase 1 is currently slated for release last quarter 2017 (subject to change as required).

OBD's Visual Terrain Systems together with Ankor's optimized Shader Systems render a dynamically lit world and 3D models to realise environments that are truly immersive and representative of the current state of the art.

Our previous sim: WINGS OVER FLANDERS FIELDS : ULTIMATE EDITION is featured in many rave reviews see our current WOFF website for more information. http://www.overflandersfields.com/

Ok I'm curious....

Wonder if this will be based on CFS3 as well?

[Stardog765]

It will be based on the same engine as WOFF.
And will be great!  There needs to be a replacement for my beloved BoB2 since it no longer runs if you upgrade to Windows 10.  Now they might come up with a fix for that but this will at least help along with the renewed development of Cliffs of Dover.  Things are looking up for serious virtual WWII pilots.  At least we will have two options.

So glad the "serious" guys will finally have something...

News February 19th 2017

Thanks to all that contributed to the Poll.  The results will help us in future planning but note the aircraft we asked about, and people voted on are not necessarily related directly to the final craft we will produce or will focus on! Also other aircraft that we may include may not be in that list.  Trust us it's for good reasons.

News September 13th 2017

We have recently expanded on the originally planned features of WOTR and have therefore pushed the release into 2018.  When we are ready with details we will publish those later.

Please note that all items are subject to change. WOTR too will feature OBD's dynamic campaign system redesigned for WW2 and living world environment, as well as uprated AI systems, to really bring WW2 air battles to life in front of you!

Thanks for these screenshots Asid. I almost forgot that it is under development.

No problem Lusik 

The same devs make Wings Over Flanders Fields. An excellent WWI flight sim.

[Skoop]

Amazing that they're doing this with the shell of an old sim.  Looks great, I might get this for early westfront 1940 sim.

Released today.

I am not near a pc so cant post much til later.
