I bought Wings of Prey since December and its great fun.
* All Sim Online Matches are cockpit locked.
(its nice to fly those Bf 109s in cockpit view)
* I just purchased the P-40E Kittyhawk (beautiful plane)
(will this be the Birds of Prey next DLC?)
If the sequel to Birds of Prey (console) is anything like the PC version I can already state that I will love it!!
** Who has Wings of Prey?? **
add me please my user name is edal86

If i am to even consider getting WOP im gonna need to fork out alot of cash to get a decent enough computer to run it.

here are some pics in gif format sorry, it is the easy and fast way, to post many pics without ending up with a full photobucket account :)
I took these from a replay of a training session against a couple of sturmoviks. The detail is amazing, better then consoles. Also, tracer bullets are nice :)

yes, I like this plane very much.
I would compare the P-40 to a P-51D and Yak-3 Hybrid :D
It has 6 machine guns stable gun platform like the P-51d (in consoles) and it turns tight like the Yak-3.

Indeed, im tempted to go and play a little 1946 :grin: love flying the P-40

that Anton will try to get it to the consoles through other avenues than BOP, perhaps publish himself. The cooperation with BOP's publisher probably didn't work out the way he's hoped for and it also seems he's now been silenced through contractual obligatons. Hopefully he'll manage, and we'll soon all be meeting on PS3 WOP, with all the features, DLC and updates he'd like to provide, but obviously can't for BOP.

...perhaps publish himself.
I doubt it. The amounts of money required to publish a game are staggeringly high compared to what a developer makes for creating the game.

Don't, please. I bought Alienware and it's nothing over the top. You could make a better computer for cheaper. The best thing about them has been their online service. xD

How much are we talking about for publishing a game? I mean, properly, with a good amount of advertising. Any idea?

Easily upward of a million I would have thought. You have to pay for development, marketing, production, storage, distribution and any license fees. To be honest, I don't know hard figures involved with either development milestones, or publishing, but I do know that the development studios cost (team salary + rent + profit) x duration. For publisher's cost, marketing I think is that largest bulk.

Hey, I hear that the "FLY-BY" camera view is coming to WOP... is this a fact? I will be so grateful if BOP got it too.

in sim, multiplayer, there is only 1 view. But there is fly-by view in Replay, have not checked the other modes (realistic, arcade).
another thing I would like BoP get from WoP, is tracers and gun and engine sounds. BoP sounds are lame in my opinion
I could get a video made, but dont know how to make my replays videos :(

I've also noticed better sound in the air rushing by the cockpit. Nice touch!
It's not only a great looking game, but it isn't nearly as hardware intensive as it looks like it should be--probably thanks to the console optimization first maybe? BOP looks great, WOP just looks even more polished. Boats in the water at Dover have wakes that I don't remember seeing (I could be wrong). Download the demo at yuPlay. It's locked at no higher than "high" (or below) so you can't get to the 2 higher settings. Even at high it looks incredible, at the highest...no other flight sim looks this good. Runs like a dream. Try the demo, play with settings, I bet many are surprised they can run it and how well.

i wonder if sales and reviews met the publishers expectations? maybe thats why it seems like they kinda said "f this game, only a small handful like it" .

I downloaded the demo and installed it, selected my settings, but when I went to start it up I got a runtime error. It was worth a shot, but I figured it wasn't going to happen. Oh well, a new rig is on my wish list for sure.

Runtime error could be caused by DLLs or anything - you got the latest DirectX or whatever it uses?
