OBD has just released its Battle of France Expansion for Wings Over the Reich. Looks like some nice developments are involved including a very nice looking flyable Hawk 75. I plan on purchasing once I get my PC set up after our move.

I've been awaiting this release also, but I have an issue with my WOTR install that I need to address first before I buy. Doesn't seem to be much support available from OBD, anyone know another forum where one can find answers?

SimHQ and CombatAce have forums managed by the OBD team. That's where you need to go.

What happens to your WOTR? I also had a problem, it wouldn't start, it was stuck on a black screen.

Set the WoTR .exe in the game folder to run as administrator perhaps? That's what solved my issues.

WOTR ran well for me for a while , although I did have to run the ToolBox Runtime repair to get it work everytime. Now when I launch it, I get XML error messages related to Administrator or anti-virus. I can close those and get to the main menu and select a scenario, but while it's loading I get dll errors that bring me back to the main menu. I was going to delete the Usiel.XML file in AppRoaming......but thought that might make it even worse!

I was having the same problem but the following FAQ helped me.

Occasionally WOTR can stop right at the beginning on laptops and some Windows 10 PCs if they have aproblem playing the basic opening splash movie (OBDSplash.wmv which is a simple windows media moviefile). If you launch and the WOTR menu seems to hang, try renaming OBDSplash.wmv found inC:\OBDSoftware\WOTR\OBDWW2 Wings Over The Reich\campaigns\CampaignData\ShellMusic
