WOP has the best overall terrain I've seen in combat flight sim, but it still has a few issues yet to even compete with IL-2. That said WOP is still in the PC beta development stage and if the developer continues to support WOP after release they can definitely be a player in the WW2 combat genre. WOP has so much potential I wonder if some of Oleg's team jumped ship and started working for the Gaijin developers.

Wow Chivas - is that really you ???? Did someone hijack your account ???


For once we agree. Stunning terrain. The new benchmark. Period.

I already am pushing them to steal the whole bloody terrain textures ......

Gaiigin are really on the ball with betas. Good support in their forums.

Oleg still has the best sim, but he desperately needs this kind of engine performance and graphics.

What I really like about the WOP terrain is there is no building pop up as you fly along.

Maybe that is because you have a different idea of what it should look like?
Probably more cinema-flight-experience than sitting in a real plane?

It may also be related to the fact that BoP has already been released for consoles and is simply ported for PCs, while BoB is still WIP?


Yes, it looks nice, but nice and realistic sometimes are two different things.

As someone who does sit in/fly real planes from time to time = Wings of Prey terrain is both of a MUCH higher quality, and also significantly more realistic as to scale. Nothing wrong with pointing that out. WoP have done a great job in this area and deserve credit.

Interesting.

I rarely experience vignette borders in my field of view when flying and I rarely see brown-yellowish atmospheric fog.




And a Ka-20 sight, not moving on a P-51D5?

60 missions? what will the casual offliner do after that? I dont want flightsims without a missionbuilder...IL-2 1946 is especially great from this point of view (fmb,qmb, dgen&scripted campaigns,dogfight&coop servers, online wars,3rd party addons...almost unlimited content)...if SoW will have the same depth then Maddox games got nothing to worry about

WOP on the PC is still in the Beta stage and they are planning a quick mission builder. I'm sure in time there will have more missions than the off-liner can handle over the next year.

Too movie-like though
