I will help out with the testing foz, and i'm sure tudorp15 will too. We can get some formation flying in aswell

They screwed the p51 and fw190 over so badly in this game it's not funny.

Also, the fact that they are pimping screenshots for the pc version of this game gives me the impression that support for the console version is going to tank - we'll be lucky to get one patch to fix the major problems we have now.

I'll definitely hold off on their pc version to see if and how much of the console problems they fixed and if they made the multiplayer worth a damn.

I'm guessing I'll have to wait for SOW from Oleg and crew to get a true next gen flight sim - even if it doesn't have the "hollywood" fancy graphics of BOP - at least it will be an accurate sim and well supported by the community and developer.

Interesting post FOZ. Glad you tested the P-51's top speed at altitude to see if it matched the known speed. Nearly 100 MPH off? That's inexcusable.
It seems as if the P-51 has gotten the short end of the stick for some reason. One could argue that it appears to be intentional.

In case any developers are reading this can you respond? We know the patch has been submitted to Microsoft and it's not your responsibility but please keep us updated on any other updates. I've noticed you've been quiet for quite some time and I don't see any communication from you here or on the other forum (yuplay). Thanks!

We don't even know that for sure. They never said for certain that the title update had been sent to Microsoft/Sony, only that it was about to be sent. We haven't had a post from a dev since then, that was hmm about 3 weeks ago?

OK I must be going crazy or I read the post quickly. I could have sworn that a developer wrote that the patch was sent to Microsoft for certification. Well this makes things a whole lot worse.

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure it has been sent, it's just the devs never said "The update has now been sent off today" A month ago they said it was in final QA (whatever that means) and would be sent in the next couple of days. Heard nothing new since then, They could have held it back a week or more to add something else, we don't know.

Bit more research and it would appear that the P51 is well of, but the patch will address this so for now i will let it go and just leave this as "current". When the patch is released i'll take up the new P51 and compare with the old P51

Pope, cheers for the offer mate, we'll have to get it sorted

I've noticed that the performance of the P-51 D5 in BOP more or less matches the lack of performance of the P-51 D5 in BSP, as I;ve noticed that the maximum speed attainable in both, in level flight, is in the 360 MPH range.

I've only manged over 400 MPH in steep dives in both BOP and BSP.

However only BSP seems to have the P-51 handling close to the real thing.

Ironically, the underpowered Alison P-51 A has a maximum speed of 360 MPH, so I'm wondering if somebody used the wrong figures somewhere??
