Screenshots showing the new cockpit for the Bf109K4. Looks like this cockpit should really be for either the Bf109G2 or G6 (see canopy framing on 3rd screenshot and compare with the different framing on the 109K4 you can see below the player aircraft), but is being used for all planes in the 109 series, just like all the Yaks share the same cockpits, all the La's, all the Il2 (and Il10) Sturmoviks etc. Still, it looks fantastic and I will be looking forward to getting back into flying 109's again.

Halleluja...have they actually released the patch...should I try to leave from work a bit earlier today????....YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, should have clarified. The update isn't out yet. The screenshots are taken from a website that has them up along with some other pictures of aircraft we have already seen, but they are clearly from BoP so I thought I would put them up here.

Looks great but where did you find them? That's surprising. How sure you are that's not fake

If I well remember BF109 cockpits won't be in the title update but a DLC.

They were on SimHQ, but seriously, do those shots look fake to you?;).

Apparently Birds of Prey is coming out on PC as well, and these screenshots were amongst a bunch of others showing La series cockpits that are up as a teaser to promote the game being published(ported?) by a company called 777 Studios.

This shot was also on the same page.

Looks great and can't wait! Now can we get an actual P-51D cockpit in the Mustang instead of the P-47 layout?

No you're right. Though i find the texture mapping of buildings a bit more precise than what I can see on my screen

much more precise than what i see on my screen to. Surely if pics of the cockpits were out then we would see them first?

I would guess thats because these are screens of the upcoming PC port and PCs have higher resolutions than consoles.

To everyone

If you are an Ace you would have noticed someting on that pic
:grin: :-P :grin:

Well in that pic i like to see its a spitfire getting shot down :D (in the first pic its a huricane :( ) also the rain effects in our game dont look like that :P would be nice though.

Also its good to see the ammo counter on this cockpit, showing the cannons depleted and the MG's are still quite full :D (grey bars to the left of the gunsight)

i take that back!! its not a spitfire, its a 109.

Hey David, glad to see you back here. :D Nice pictures you brought us, now all we need, is some of the FWs. (I've kinda taken a liking to the A5, and have had some success with it. Not as much as Soviet Planes though :cool:)

What, no ammo?

huh?

Very nice cockpits. Now let's see the 190's.:)

Ooooo, I like the cockpits :)

The rain?

a lack of a propeller!!!

:(

He's kicking in his right rudder way to much being uncoordinated and in a skidding right turn, which is not a good thing to do...

^^^ LOL

I never noticed that :P

This must be what Todace was talking about when he said he had some exciting news for the pc players.

Those screens made me drool. I wish our version looked like that. :neutral:

Now I wanna see a FW cockpit. Nice all around view in those. Much better than a 109.

Yep, as long as you don't care about turning =P lol, kidding, kidding. I have always had a thing for the 190's myself. Shame they handle so poorly in this game. Hopefully they will get fixed like the P-51 is going to.

Anyone know the name of the plane who have this cockpit?

It's a Me-163 Komet cockpit.

Awesome, BRING ON THE UPDATE!

Tell me about it. Not playing this game until they update it.

Excellent find. Sell more BOP, maybe the sooner we get another game and more content.

Can anyone tell me what plane this cockpit matches? All I know is its from a Russian plane.

WHY! do they insist on having a ring for a control, rather a stick!!! All Yaks were equipped with sticks. Even the Yak-1b was equipped with a stick, not a ring. :evil:

Now you know how i feel having to fly a 12 gun hurricane in 1940 without the nice sounding merlin engine that the spifire and mustang has :(

aint life a bitch lol.

So are these shots for the pc only ? Or do you think we'll get an Comet cockpit with the next dlc ?

I'm would think all content such as this would be compatible, so we should get these cockpits sooner or later.

Might end up getting the PC version anyway, because my PC flightstick is much better than anything available for either console, and there might be the prospect of the PC version using the extra buttons available to reintroduce some of Il2 1946's more sim like aspects.

OR........

(This is just a suggestion btw)


stick to IL2/IL2FB/IL2:1946

They offer so much more in the way of it being more sim like, if this was to port over to the PC it would be nothing compared to them. Dont get me wrong i love this game on my xbox its incredible, but on the pc.... it wouldnt cut it compared to what the others offer :D

A great game though.

just my 2 cents worth, you obviously dont have to take any notice :)

Could do that I suppose, but since I'm already playing both 1946 and the 360 version of BoP, if the PC version of BoP could offer improvements such as reintroducing some of the features that were cut because there weren't enough buttons to implement them, then it would make sense to start playing the PC version of BoP instead of the 360 version, but I would keep playing 1946 as well.

fair play :D

Aaah, very sweet indeed. ^_^ The Komet 'pit in particular fills me with a special sense of joy, as it hints at an increased possibility of a 262 and/or 162 'pit as well, and that would be supoib.

WOW! How can you even contemplate buying this for the PC when you have Oleg's Battle of Britain - Storm of War around the corner. That, my friend is shaping up to be the mother of all combat flight sims!!! :-)

when can we atually expect to have some DLC?

Seeing the popularity of the game, maybe nothing. I wouldn't count on a lot at least. I recon the devs are busier with the sequel..

As I said many times I love this game, so far my favorite on my ps3 (the only platform I have for games).

The point is would I buy a sequel?

If the current BoP will be supported enough (which doesn't mean a lot necessarily), yes I will.

Otherwise, I don't say no but I will think about for a while before I make a decision.

I understand devs and publishers and market laws, but I'm a gamer and money is hard earned.

They will probably send out the update after the PC version
or until they get their heads out of their @$$.

PC version isn't done by the same devs I believe.

The screens look beautiful and excite me for an update. I'm pretty patient in these matters (unlike my quest to unlock the FW-190 F8 by virtue of winning 20 matches in the JU-87 D-3) and I can only hope the extra time is being spent fixing the 190 flight model.

I REALLY want to use the 190 without instantly entering the death spin...

If you haven't unlocked it yet do it in strike missions. Thats what I did.

Still trying... unfortunately, I had the requirement confused. I thought it was a combination or either CTA or Strike, not one or the other. I swear I've won 20 missions in each match type, though. :oops:

Just checked the unlock list. You are correct it is 20 matches in CTA or Strike.

My guess is 777 studios got the game from Gaijin and is tweaking it for pc.

They are the ones doing Rise of Flight.

Well then, I am clearly unable to count. LOL :cool:

See? I clearly knew you were a fool!!!!!








LOL J/K.

LOL - I swear I've been at 19 wins for a few days. Yes, I'm a fool.

I picked up the WOP 3 P-47. Haven't tried the Accusim yet, but the Jug itself is tits. :grin:

Well, of course, but all we know about the release date for Storm of War is that Oleg needs to get it out sometime in 2010, otherwise he will start running into serious problems financially.

So until SoW comes out I will be playing Il2 1946, and also BoP if the devs can fix some of its more glaring flaws.

we need accusim for 360 :(
