Anyone here signed up for their beta ? how long does it takes to get the beta key from them? I signed up yesterday and still haven't got any email from them.

But that aside looks like something that could definitely be fun to play

The number of exhaust stacks depends on the engine fitted and a V-12 does not need 12 exhaust stacks.

I'm not saying it does need a stack per cylinder, five stacks for a bank of six cylinders just seems odd to me! I did to a little research and it is right to have five. I just have never noticed before, and most mosquito pictures I've seen have fairings over the exhausts.

I wish I had a Mosquito here so that I could de-cowl the engines though to see what's going on with the "missing" stacks (more or less which cylinders were paired or if the exhaust is plumbed somewhere to run something else like a power recovery turbine)

EDIT: Looks like I'm off topic so we should leave it at that or start a new thread!

I signed up months ago and have not got an email... I think it's pretty random.

While not being a simulator, I'm getting tempted to try this game out, I really need something to fill the hole IL-2 1946 left when I stopped playing it...

What am I missing? This is Wings of Prey as online MMO right? Same crappy flight models, same hollywood effects and damage modelling. Except you have to pay $$$$ to for every level up aircraft.

All WoP was missing was the big cartoon words saying 'BLAM' and 'POW' every time a wing blew off. The videos for this title are look the same identical to WoP.

NOT a flight sim.
