Yeah your right !! Totally Unrealistic
Perhaps you have something more realistic ?

ahhhh well ..... I got some free time on a friends bird tomorrow afternoon. Perhaps I will be better able to judge 'realistic' better after an hour or so in the air to refresh my memory ???

I definitely need some practice ....... we have some world class 'keyboard' fliers in here ....... got to compete at their high level of realism evaluation

Considering that your level of realism evaluation only takes into account the amount of polygons and the texture resolution, it's not hard. You only have to walk outside to see how unrealistic WoP is. I'll tell you about something more realistic. Try FSX. I don't even like it, don't play it, but it's more visually realistic than WoP, especially at medium to high altitude.

Well, if you saw the link I posted a while back, you see some scenery without bogus saturation and without appearance of filters. It is still not perfect, but at least it is more realistic.

And be careful about who you assume is just a keyboard flier.

Here it is again, so you won't have to dig through the thread. Now, I am not talking about LOD, Polygons, Textures, etc. I'm talking about saturation, hues, and filters.

When you go flying, be sure to take some photos and share them with us 'keyboard fliers'.

Geez, this thread just makes my day, it never fails. I actually get bummed out when there are no new posts in here for a day.

When I see someone come in these forums and show me a video of them flying a P-51 or FW190 and they say this FM in "that game" is right on the money, then I will start comparing every other game's FM to that one. The truth is No one has ever flown one of these planes. We have some stats in some books and even most of those stats have been contradicted by interviews with real WWII Aces. So who can really say anything about these WWII FMs in any of these games.

WOP visually is almost a form of art. They could change some settings and make it look real as heck, maybe they will.

I will say this the city layouts are more historically correct then any flight sim to date, that I know of. The ground/citys were made with real wwII aerial photographs, and WWII photos of the buildings and citys, the streets are exactly the way they were back then. They spent a long time making it and I for one am very impressed.

I know we have amazing sims with perfect replication of todays places but is there any maps out there that it took a year or more to make, that perfectly match the aerial photographs from the time frame of WWII clear down to each street ? Maybe there are ? As of right now, WOP is the only one that I know of.


Now the closest we have to real flight and FM's is Xplane 9 and it can be certified for flight hours towards your PPL in different aircraft .


I thank you guys for so many great posts !
It beats Tv in my book ! DESODE

It would be wonderful if the chaps from Flying Legends, BBMF, USAF Heritage Flight and other companies commented in the game's flight model. Then we'd get a decent veredict.

err, I tried downloading the demo [yuplay download] and my Norton AntiVirus (sonar) ripped it out of the folder the exe was saved in when I tried to run it and stomped on it, as "acting suspiciously on this computer".

is this just one of those "false postives"? the AV lists the actual site as safe


HTTP download wants a premium subscription fee, which is just plain c.r.a.p.
and I won't use bittorrent
