And the P-51 is totally broken - it climbs like a freighttrain and turns like ferry (that means not at all) and cant turn the slighliest to the left, not without snaprolling followed by an iminant total stall...
There's no feeling with the stick and the controls in game. I jerk and work with the joystick, but to no avail. The plane seems to have it's life on its own.
So yes, I find this game very bad...

Hi there,

and welcome to the BOP forum. Your wording may have spilled over from the frustration that reigns at the Cliffs of Dover forums. We're a much smaller community here and usually tread much more gently. Perhaps we're also not taking ourselves and the simulation aspect of what we do here all too seriously, but believe me we do have a lot of fun together.

The P51 in the game is, as all planes are, overpowered. Topspeeds are capped which gives you a funny combination of incredible climb performance but weak level speeds. So yes, it's not such an authentic flight model.

But boy is it a joy to fly! Wings of Prey has seen a recent update which brought their P51 model to original performance specs. But the joy of flight, the ease of moving through the dimensions, is still unsurpassed here in this game. Perhaps that's why I, and others, love it so much.

Feel welcome to fly online with us sometime.

MAC
