"Wings" Of Prey (PC). Watchout Oleg!

[13th Hsqn Protos]

Yes after a lot of positive support in this forum WoP is picking up steam. (Your welcome Anton )

Shame they are not interested in addressing the multiplayer issues.

- No Dedicated Server
- Inability to set password on server that you host. Anyone who feels like can join your game - whether you like it or not
- Recent lame attempts to force people to fly on lower texture settings = whether they like it or not (but hey we will never notice - cause were stupid.... )
- Patches break MP compatibility. So if you don't like a certain patch - you still cannot connect to someone even on your version.
- Gaijin - assume your machine is for their use and so is your bandwidth.

'Console mentality' as regards to online.
Soon as you set up a room, you have kids joining, screaming into their mic in various languages, no ptt that I saw - just a mess!

They can learn a lot from Oleg in regards to Multiplayer Ethos.

Dedicated servers are planned, the texture thing online was fixed within something like 48 hours, patches that break MP compatibility, never heard of that before ever...

Not sure why you seem to think the multiplayer password wont get fixed either, everything Gaijin have done so far leads me to think it will be sooner or later.

As for you wanting some sort of recognition for promoting Wings of Prey, after the above... seriously?

The online textures were fixed after I and a few others MADE them fix it. -- that must be the part that really bothers you.

[insert sarcasm]

I will listen/trust you Dano - causes you are always 'ahead of the curve' ...... in the Flight Sim world ....

seriously..

Definately seems to be a lot of conflicting information regarding WoP...

S~!

Not really all that hard to understand........
Best Terrain Engine ever made in a flight sim = people giving them money in the hopes that they might actually do something with it.
W.o.P did us ALL a favor - It made what were now going to get in S.o.W exponentially better.
Be Sure ... A competitive Oleg is a wonderful thing



As for W.o.P
It comes from a console game.
Its console roots are particularly evident in the fms/ and multiplayer aspect (which is currently a joke).
Also their community is nothing like ours ..... average age here is 38 with many actually holding a PPL or Glider Rating. There its in the teens.
This will be hard to overcome - but they seem to want to do it. They deserve a chance to.
I am hopeful that they will mature into our market.


If not .... its simple .... they will die.

Its up to them now.

I`ll sum it up for you, IT`S MY OPINION OF COURSE

Comparing to SOW in any department... i dont think so...

I`ll just compare to IL2.. Things are better or equal...

Planes - external model is close to IL2 quality, but some modders pushed IL2 ahead.

Pits - some better some worse, better ones might win with help of dynamic lightning which take pits to new level. But once again, mods have pits with fresh textures that are fantastic

FM - not quiet there yet... options to be a flight sim are there.... but feeling of flight is odd, it feels like even high end aircraft is struggling to stay in the air.. And headshake is too much IMO.

DM - Similar to IL2 visually, too early to tell about impact of damage on the flight behavior

AI - i wont say anything....

MP - lack of it

SP- didnt check yet... but based on how AI flies... i donno.

Visuals - definitely a strong point, ground is fantastic, forest, mountains, etc... Not too impressed with the water tho. Tracers are nice too IMO. Smoke, explosions are up there too.

Overall Potential? Definitely yes... How much of potential... that`s up to dev team

Now i am going to duck....really low

If I remember right from the Xbox 360 demo, you need to play the tutorial missions to unlock realistic and simulation difficulties. Anyone playing with only arcade difficulty unlocked would indeed call it childs play........
