Hello to everyone Ive just started playing on line, but I have been playing Birds Of Prey since it came out on PS3. I have liked W11 aircraft for a long time, when my dad introduced me to them via films, being taken to the RAF,Battle Of Britain museums hendon and RAF Duxford. I have done a couple of hours on Chipmunks when i was in the Air Training Corps, a long time ago now. Favourite aircraft mostly W11 fighters, bombers, do like early jets from 50s, 60s and some modern types to. I have play several flying games mostly ace combat for ps2, on of the first was Project Stealth Fighter for com 64, which was fun for its time. I do love this game though with its good story and aircraft. Can anyone tell me where to get the P47 that ive see when im online? Thanks very much johnwells69

Wellcome johnwells. The P47 is a download. You'll find it in the psn-store for about $10. It comes with a good bunch of missions. Have fun!

[johnwells69]

Thanks very much, I wasnt sure where you got it from. I just thought that it was the same game when I was in PSN. Thanks will down load tommorrow.

Hello all,

Have had the game since it came out, but just got around to playing it (I know I know...).

So far it's awesome. Tried hopping online for a quick match after playing the first two campaign missions...like shooting fish in a barrel...I was the fish. Won't do that again

Sounds like custom games are the way to go from what I've been reading on here. Anyone want to add me my gamertag is B9Liberator. Looking to improve my skills and have some solid dogfights eventually!

**Oh yeah, I'm in Canada, will usually be on between 1100-1530 and again after 0100 EST to whenever**

G'day people,

Picked this game up a couple of weeks ago and have enjoyed the single player campaign a lot.

Am keen to try some multiplayer now if anyone would like to try some target practice on a total n00b

I'm on the PSN, usually around the weekend. psnid = yadekul

Cheers

New pilot reporting

Hey everyone! Im not so new to this game, been playing for a year but lately Ive been getting the "server not available" message so I quit playing online. Anyway I play on the xbox 360, Im in central time and my favorite plane is definitley the Spitfire, that one is just a beauty and I fell in love with it from the very first time I saw it. My dad was a pilot for Pan Am back in the day so airplanes have been in my life since I was born.

Heres my gamertag: rgr22666, someone please add me because Im dying to play online again, its so different than the campaigns lol.

[bobbysocks]

hello rgr22. welcome. you will get that message when there are no open games at the moment. that doesnt mean the server is down or no one is playing. you can add me Bobbysockser and go back through this thread and add the other xboxers.

Hello fellow pilots.
I have been reading posts on this forum for some time now and figured it was time to join. I am addicted to BoP and have completed all the missions in single player arcade mode. I have tried realistic and sim modes and although I was able to adapt to the changes and concider myself an average pilot in those modes I, being a warbird junky prefer to see the aircraft in flight and can not enjoy cockpit view.
I like many pilots here started online battles in arcade mode with great enthusiasm only to get very frustrated by being shot down 20/1. I play this game to have fun and see warbirds in action.
After a short time you learn the pilots at your own skill level and the ones far above. I admire the "Aces" out there and one day hope to aquire their skill level but find my self dropping out of matches in the lobby after finding out who is in the match. I am not trying to insult or anger anyone i'm mearly trying to play with pilots my own skill level so everyone has fun. Occasionally I will quit a match after the start for a few reasons. 1st being if the match is extreamly unbalanced. 2nd being players using cheap tactics eg. bombing and crashing into targets 20 times in a row in Strike mode or crashing onto your aircraft because they cant shoot you down in dogfight.
After some time as my skill level became higher I noticed players dropping out of matches that i'm in and I understand why. I have been there.
For the record if I drop out of a match with any of you its not ment as an insult please do not be offended.
Hope to see you in the sky some day.
