The scenery and buildings are quite outstanding - it looks like Berlin - am I correct? - I thought I got a quick glimpse of the Reichstag and the 'Tiergarten flakturm'. Did you notice the awesome lighting effects/shadows in the cockpit? I agree, "WOW!"

 I haven't flown this low over a city in RL but I've watched in-cockpit videos of low level airshow flights and the sensation of being there is SPOT ON!

we all know IL2 and SOW are and will be better SIMS...i cant wait for SOW and im sure it will be even better than WOP in every way....but...as for now...show me a game that LOOKS better than that flying over a city down low.

Still though it would be a real shame for the Sim community not to support this game. It is using the Il2 1946 flight models and though its not as hard core as 1946, its right under it by a notch or two. We need to support any game that comes to our sim commuinity, especially one that has a Dev team that is willing to give their time and energy to make the game the way we want it. These Dev's are trying to do just that. Wop is a work in progress still and they have stated that if we support them they will do their best to make WOP grow and change to everything we want it to be. I have been a sim fan for 30 yrs and sometimes I see people in our community that are so impatient and picky that I hold them at the top of the list for why our Sim industry is in such bad shape. They pick and gripe about everything instead of supporting a game and doing everything they can to make it become a much needed franchise in the Sim scene. Then inturn I hear these same people gripe about how flight Sims are a dying breed ! It really amazes me. I hope everyone will support this game by buying it and then I hope they will go to the WOP forums and give their opinions on how the dev's can make WOP better. We can never have to many good sims ! Thanks for your time and consideration , Desode

I don't think I will buy it... it's OK for others to support the game if they can but I have to make some choices between priorities
 .The game does look refreshing over standard IL-2 even moded... some classes in visuals but... There are some things quite annoying in it, to be fair... the over exaggerated bloom (which the developer said in SimHQ interview that will not change and which is enough for me not to buy SoW not to mention WoP... I have sensible eyes you know... ), lack of options in many regards... like if you make a mission in Sim mode... the replay is locked in "the cockpit"... which is... dumb? At least in demo is so. Some controls are really funny... like: you have separate flaps controls (up/down) but you have a so called (ridiculous) 'toggle flaps (simulator)"... which in case of the Spit it cycles through combat/take off/landing very conveniently when you need them as opposed to the non sim... up/down that has only raised and landing... doh! The fact that you get to land only if the map have an airfield and only if you really hurry to the airfield... otherwise it just cuts to the inter mission scene "movie"... And that milk over England... I hoped it will be a tweak or something but... they said it will stay cause it's realistic... sorry to say... it's not. Also from the interview I understand it doesn't have even a small QMB... just some 20 mission offline and some online... which is not enough to asure a long life for the game... sadly... and IMHO.

Just downloaded the new P40 and I LOVED it. Show some love to this game and it will reward you. I haven't had his much fun since Forgotten Battles.

I just went through this topic and I have to say that I'm suprised by people reaction for BoP. Why don't You Guys just sit and enjoy this extremly beautiful looking game? Instead, you keep saying how unrealistic it looks and how much more realistic SoW will look. Show me the game that gets near this visiual quality and then we'll talk about unrealistic haze and filters. It doesn't make sense at all.
Some of You (especialy those in loop of denial) sounds like regular fanboys. Why can't You just play both games? BoP is in the stores so why not support this tallented devs, they might come back with somethis as pretty and much more "simulation like" in future. Especialy not knowing when we can expect to see SoW. PS. +1 on every single 13th Hsqn Protos post.

Hi there!,
I bought a few days ago WOP and the only thing I can say is I am sold. Like many here we have been flying IL2 series for years now, but its true that Wings of Prey despite it is in beta stage they are doing pretty well. Wings of Prey is clearly behind of IL21946 in terms of AI, flight model and multiplayer but I guess this is gonna change once they start patching it after beta. When the first IL2 was released it also had a lot of glitches and flight model also had problems.(I bought it first day it was released by the way )We should feel happy that someone else is interested to deliver a decent sim with amazing graphics and a graphic engine that can be run on almost any modern PC, because it is remarkable that those graphics can be ran on a lowend GT220 with 30+ frames maxed out. I am sure that Mr Oleg will deliver a 10/10 product but given the lack of simulators and given that clearly on this hobby we are 'a few' we should support any new sim on the market. Something else to say. From mid November to almost 24 of December those guys have updated WOP with nearly 1.7 GB in patches as far as I counted they have nearly delivered 10 patches in a month which despite it was in beta it is very remarkable the work they have done. Support it!,
