Creative use of definition #2!! Well played Icarus, well played...

LOL very funny. I had thought that too.

Computing Dictionary

simulation definition
simulation, system
Attempting to predict aspects of the behaviour of some system by creating an approximate (mathematical) model of it. This can be done by physical modelling, by writing a special-purpose computer program or using a more general simulation package, probably still aimed at a particular kind of simulation (e.g. structural engineering, fluid flow). Typical examples are aircraft flight simlators or electronic circuit simulators. A great many simulation languages exist, e.g. Simula.
See also emulation, Markov chain.

The definition of sim only needs that there is an attempt at accuracy. WoP is a sim just a lesser attempt at accuracy that CoD.

Its not whether it is a sim as much as if it is a good sim. I agree CoD is more accurate in many ways and more immersive than WoP and a better sim, but by definition they are both sims.

Your dreams are not mine.

I think one has to realize that we all come from differing perspectives with respect to what we "want, wish for, dream about, etc...." We share products/community with:

- Movie makers
- Skinners
- Mission/Campaign Builders
- Online Server hosts
- Online War developers/hosts/organizers
- Modders
- Squads

MP is a movie maker. One of the most creative movie makers in the community. I can imagine he'd be excited about any product which would expand his palette.

While the many "guilds" associated with any simulation, add incalculable value to us - we that benefit from their efforts would be wise to understand that their agenda's may differ a bit from our own.

I don't see anything in World of Planes that attracts me in the least. I'm not holding my breath.

If you've experienced World of Tanks - which I actually have quite a bit of fun with, particularly now that I've learned how to manage my credit card transactions - you might agree with me that "Tanks ain't Planes".

I can't imagine what the average simmer who complains about small prices for add-on content will do when they actually run across this model. I limit myself to 29.95 per month for World of Tanks. When my money runs out - I stop playing.

Some people spend a whole lot more than that in a month.....

I don't think World of Planes has anything to do with World of Tanks. IIIRC you are thinking of World of War Planes. World of Planes is Wings of Prey 2. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

What is this thread for other than to antagonise people and cause more pointless arguments?

Because its interesting to fans of this genre.


If there is something important happening in another country. I can watch the news in my country and get some world news. I can talk about that news with my friends. I don't have to travel to that county to get their news and I don't have to find people (strangers) from that country to talk about it.

It is the snobs and trolls that cause the arguments not the subject.

Thanks Icarus for correcting my misperception.

Now I have a poorer view toward it. Acrade FM, arcade DM, heck there are first person shooters with better ballistics than WoP.

If they ever actually create a simulation - that could be called a simulation then I'll certainly reconsider.

This does get old.

Yes it does get old. Please stop, you make no sense.

Why did you just attack me? Did you not understand what I wrote?

I have purchased and paid for the WoP product. Yes, I have an opinion of it. I posted that opinion and you tell me to "Shut up"?

It's not like I post here all that much - and I cannot think of a time when I've been rude to you in the past.

Do you think that you are the only person entitled to their opinion here?

Look, I certainly don't go over to the WoP or "World of Planes" forums and extoll the virtues of CoD there.

I wonder how jets are going to do on the postage stamp sized maps in that arcade shooter?
