They have a nice selection of aircraft along with some criminally underrepresented AC, like the D520 , boomerang and He112.

The aircraft model detail is much lower then CLOD, the cockpits are a lot worse, and ground wise its similar to wings of prey.

The FM is awful though. The hurri is an E fighter, zeros can dive like the dickens and german planes are basically a waste. Oh, and if you thought the pro-russian bias in vanilla Il-2 was bad then you are in for a surprise.

And you are going to have to grind for XP to unlock more planes or just cave in and buy them.

Its fun as a F2P arcadey flight sim. And it has a lot of people playing - most of whom are greener then green. If you can bnz then its pretty easy to dominate people... and really fun when they've shelled out tons of cash for high level AC.

Thank you, I was curious...maybe all those pilots will mature and seek out other combat flying games/sims

Thanks for kind words.

Grounded for one escapade too many with the vicar's daughter and a Tiger Moth, Pilot Officer Gusset is determined to 'do his bit' as he wanders the highways and byways of Kent with his trusty Box Brownie, confirming kills for his chums. He yearns to find a nice Leica or Rolliflex in the wreckage, but the local kids always get there first...

It's silly little touches that could make it all graphically more pleasing - I mentioned the Morse code antenna wires earlier, and I haven't seen a village church in any of the villages yet (I've started placing them myself). Windmills - yes, they were about, but not in such numbers. And forests - they need toning down (that could be my fault for maxing everything out in options - will experiment). Brighton, Bournemouth and Southend piers would be nice...and so on and so on. But for all my whining, there are more than a few moments where I've thought "photo realistic is no longer just a phrase games developers throw about" Trouble is I'm having such a blast messing about with screenies that my actual flying time is suffering. And where is Portland? Putting that one right is beyond my capabilities.


Keep 'em coming, chaps!
Hi Low Flyer
Beautiful screenies Buddy
The first one looks sooooo Real
