WoP is a joke from what I played of it. Some decent (though hardly realistic) graphics and that's about it. To a serious simmer it will be no competition for SoW.

Necrobaron is right ....... the graphics are totally unrealistic

You cant believe how unrealistic they are at 1920x1200 superultramax textures 6aa 16af

Maybe some time you will find out that there is a difference between something looking great and something looking realistic.

Hopefully your discovery will not turn out like this:



I'm 100% with Chivas on this:
WoP is a game with nice graphics and hopefully attracts some people to the flightsim-genre. And when they want something more realistic in every aspect, they can go for BoB. That said, I don't think that it is "Watchout Oleg!".

Tbh ive to agree with the people who think WOP *looks* realistic, it's probably as far away from a sim you can get but it does look a hell of a lot realistic in an artistic and graphical manner over both IL2 and the current SoW screens.

I don't get your fanboyism Feurfalke, keep saying people itch and whine about slightest thing while you've to stand up and defend SoW all the time? It might be work in progress however we have yet to be proved it will LOOK more realistic, we already know it will play as a simulator...but it's maybe time for a real demonstration soon?

And yes you're absolutely right that hollywood graphics or effect dosnt equal realism in any way, that said i've yet to see more life like flight sim environments than in WoP...but on the other hand i couldn't care less i play it for the realism in the air not on the ground even if it has some impact.

Time to stop bitching and enjoy the holidays,

Some prefer the "realism" of 'Saving private Rhyan' some prefer the one in 'Soap operas'.

Some prefer the simulations of a instrumental flying by being religulous to 'the numbers' other start laughing at the idea of IFR as a flight experience having the feeling they miss all what flying is without the real enviroment.

Some manage something inbetween...

All is relative... at least since Enstein appeared to the scene.

S~!

Anton the Dev for Wings of Prey is an absolute stand up fellow. We can only PRAY for his success so that we as a community can (eventually) have two competing games.

Each driving the other FORWARD - (to our advantage as serious flight simmers).

Here is some news for you fanbois....
WoP has already affected SoW development in a POSITIVE WAY because it has RAISED THE BAR for both terrain representation/scale and engine performance.

BE SURE!

Here's a new short teaser. Yeah, the lighting is movie-like and the planes are not up to SoW standard, but the game sure looks amazing:

EDIT: Oops, I discovered this is an old teaser actually...

Ok, if you guys keep posting those WoP shots I'm afraid I'll have to buy it.

How does the game/physics feel compared to 1946 BTW? If WoP shows to be as realistic a HAWX or something there will be hell to pay.

I have serious doubts that most of the critics in here have even flown this game, but for those of you that have and want more .....

'realistic'

Fix your settings from the advanced panel as you see fit.
My personal preferences are below.

I fly for hours just a 100meters or so off the deck with these settings. Closest representation to actual flight ever.... but hey I understand some people don't want to 'fly in a painting' they prefer to fly in a 'cartoon' - to each their own.
