I agree with you guys; if the BoP wasn't such a gaping 'miss' (even after the pathetic PS3 patch attempt) & boasted all the content & peripheral support that WoP has, I prob wouldn't have even looked at looked at the pc equivalent but the cold, harsh reality is that Wings of Prey is so much more superior in every way. After buying this title on 360, PS3 & now PC, almost 90 quid later (exc. the PS3 hotas & 360 aviator I bought), I'm finally enjoying this IL-2 wanabe.

It's not just BoP/WoP. Take Op Flashpoint Dragon Rising. Pathetic on console, with about 8 hours gameplay & little else apart from the premium DLC & very limited multiplay; PC version in comparison, the same DLC at no charge, full mission editor giving unlimited longevity & playability & more. Even the old gen Op Flashpoint saw the original xbox get the mission editor.

There needs to be a realisation here; that a competent, immersive, involving, unbroken & realistic yet fun flight sim can be done for console. TAITO's OVER G FIGHTERS will always be proof to that.

I'm pretty sure you are'nt the only one to buy all three versions of BoP. Everybody who enjoys WoP should thank you, as well as the rest of us for funding it.

I suppose the only hope for us console gamers is that the sequel won't be broken.

+1. And I bet I know why you like it, probably the same reason I do. Take-off and RTB! I'll never understand why in the heck they didn't do that for more, if not all the missions.

Excellent vid as always Hawk. Those German cockpits make me want to cry :( if only my PC wasn't 5 years old.

You and I didn't exactly get off on the good foot in the beginning, but I realize now you and I are more alike than I thought. Your love of aviation really comes through in these vids, and in the end that's what it's all about (at least for me). You are one of my favorite contributors on here :)
