"Wings" Of Prey (PC). Watchout Oleg!

Geez, this thread just makes my day, it never fails. I actually get bummed out when there are no new posts in here for a day.

When I see someone come in these forums and show me a video of them flying a P-51 or FW190 and they say this FM in "that game" is right on the money, then I will start comparing every other game's FM to that one. The truth is No one has ever flown one of these planes. We have some stats in some books and even most of those stats have been contradicted by interviews with real WWII Aces. So who can really say anything about these WWII FMs in any of these games.

WOP visually is almost a form of art. They could change some settings and make it look real as heck, maybe they will.

I will say this the city layouts are more historically correct then any flight sim to date, that I know of. The ground/citys were made with real wwII aerial photographs, and WWII photos of the buildings and citys, the streets are exactly the way they were back then. They spent a long time making it and I for one am very impressed.

I know we have amazing sims with perfect replication of todays places but is there any maps out there that it took a year or more to make, that perfectly match the aerial photographs from the time frame of WWII clear down to each street ? Maybe there are ? As of right now, WOP is the only one that I know of.


Now the closest we have to real flight and FM's is Xplane 9 and it can be certified for flight hours towards your PPL in different aircraft .


I thank you guys for so many great posts !
