I also ran the benchmark a couple of times as you see the scenes on some occasions from a different angle. I then added music instead of the in-game sounds and music as the editing process interfered with the audio accuracy.

However what you see is what you get and this is in-game graphics at an early Alpha stage of development.

At-least the Developer's want the end-user to help them get it right...now there's customer relations!

Cheers, MP

Draw distance looks promising at this 'Alpha' stage and there is also the option of an animated Pilot

The funny thing:

- I bought Wings Of Prey. Good graphics engine, but lousy FM, DM, gameplay, no dedicated servers, poor ground units, air start...

And Gaijin almost drop development of this "alpha" of World Of Planes...

People blame Maddox Games for lot of things... We are all voluntary guinea pigs! And we PAY for that! LOL!

To the poster above; it's all relevent on how the game is marketed. WoP never promised anything more than that. CloD did.

It's like moaning why CoD isn't similar to Arma.

A big LOL now...

Please... Have a look at "to do" things in WoP forums and stop talking nonsense...

http://forum.gaijinent.com/index.php...d-suggestions/

Since first month we hear these things, just to point some:

"Features requested and planned:
* dedicated server
* votes
* mission editor
* quick mission editor
* plane customizations"

"Planned" until today... And a lot of thigs "done" are porked... Let's face it: WoP was sold, the "community" requests are not put in the sim, but in other title. To me it's OK. I don't take my pants off because i payed 50 bucks in some software, but some here "dislike" MG long support for their "alpha sims".

I love it! I fly in IL-2 1946 until today!

+1 to your comment about 1946, but these details you mention were not promised before release, unlike the one's for CloD.
It's like moaning why RoF didn't ship with the Bris-Fit. There's a major difference between promising details and not delivering, and then adding extra details later.

I do agree, though, that many of these perceived extras for WoP should have shipped with the game. And they are taken a long time to deliever. But any promises the WoP team made don't come close to Oleg's (until now) fictitious claims.

Please... WoP don't made any "promises".. Ok... Just gives nothing. I prefer "Oleg's fictious claims". By the way, CloD now is better than WoP will ever be. And I spent less money in CloD.

Some people here are just like little babies crying for nothing, without any patience...

I have some fun in WoP looking at the good graphics, do all SP missions, don't see fun in MP with brainless direct connect airquake, and get rid of it. I don't cry so much, after saw in forums that Gaijin wasn't doing so much for the title. I'm glad they "abandon" WoP and invest in this new game, keeping and improving their very good game engine.

Meanwhile, MG are working in bigger, more complete and complex war scenario, with it's contents and game engine. We need to wait more.

People appears that wants that CloD will be some kind af "abandonware" or something... Will be a long series of titles, it's plain clear. With a strong engine.

To someone that are not a complete stupid, of course...
