Yes Wings of Prey is very good & its clearly head & shoulders over Birds of Prey but 1946 has absolutely everything the pc WWII aviation enthusiast could ever dream of. It's had years of fine tuning & additions & Wings of Prey is a step in the right direction; a worthy 1st attempt indeed. Wings of Prey does NOT have a mission builder although I read somewhere that there are plans to include one in a future patch. There is still the track replay facility. WoP has a very crude replay in place but my video will show that there is no player drop cameras, known as static cameras in IL-2 Sturmovik, no simple flyby view (found in almost any flightsim, even Ace Combat) & certainly no multitude of views to be found, like in Sturmovik (external friendly padlock view, ground target view etc) & ofcourse Bomber aircraft are still highly, out of place, arcade beasts with no interior, no gun stations or bombadier stations; but it is pointed in the right direction. I've been very impressed with the P-51, P-47, 109, FW, 262, Komet, 110, M.C. 202, Yak-7, LaGG & Stuka Cockpits & it's highly playable. And now multiple perepherals & Track IR are recognised, I can instantly fly the P-51 once again, with no stall-outs every half second. I also don't need to mention the graphics as that was always BoP's strong point anyway.

Very pleased but, like many others here have found, it's taken about 3 or 4 purchases of this franchise to get here.

For those asking, I will post a LaGG-3 35 Cockpit video on this thread later tonight & will follow up with the Yak-7b.

WOW!!! I'm going to bed, decorated lol. A massive honour indeed. I'll wear that with virtual pride. Thanks man. Will knock up the Yak vid as soon as poss. I guarantee you'll love it too; they've done very well with this one & I sense good things coming to WoP. Also very impressed with the new Italian & German 'Pits' & they've even put the little floor window in place, in the Ju-87 Stukas. :grin:

Also I see that the start of the video says Mustang MkIa. Does this mean the fake P-51B is no more?, along with it's 4 fake machine guns?

Sorry if my question was already answered. Does anybody know?

That Yak-7 looks good.

Two medals in one night!!! Well your generosity must be rewarded with these crude Yak-7 pics to be getting on with. I'll bang a vid up as soon as I can; in the mean time - go get Wings of Prey BETA; it's getting even better by the day. Patch 1.0.1.0 has just sprung up. Enjoy ...

To tell you the truth, I've been so wrapped up with the now-correct P-51D 'office' & the plethora of new cockpits that I haven't taken the Mustang Mk.Ia up but I do believe it's more or less the same a/c as was featured in BoP with the same 4 wing mounted cannons. I think it's just changed in name.
