Great point Urufu re: porting from PC to console then back again. There's a host of serious issues in BOP for consoles and some of us who are familiar with IL-2 1946 aren't as thrilled with BOP as the youngsters. While admitingly, BOP looks good, it doesn't look good all the time.

Here's a very good review of BOP that IMO is the best out there. I assume it will apply to WOP as well. http://www.egcgames.com/content.php?id=1651

To be honest I don't get the point!

We have IL2, why woudl we want a slimmd down in complexity but slightly graphically spiffed up console version of it on the PC?

I understand the want for porting IL2 to the console marked with BOP but why port it back??

My money is firmly staying in my pocket until SOW and SH5

Wow, that's news! thanks for posting . . .


It'll probably require a beast of a PC . . . But can't wait to see what the specs would be and if I can run it . . .


I wonder how customer support and internet capability will be like. And will this get the same love that IL-2 1946 is getting?


I notice they said "Sans IL-2 name" because Oleg didn't back it?


I notice on the video you can recognize the IL-2 damage pattern (on the salamander) Smile

Like I said, its NOT for YOU, its for people are arnt pro flight simmers. Its an introductory game, to help smooth out the learning curv. Without this type of game, we get no new blood. No new blood, flight sim suffers from attrition and slowly dies. Be happy that the industry is showing at least SOME interest in simming.

It's a little insulting to the masterpiece that is il2 don'tcha think?

Meh, just my opinion.


It's a shared sentiment, Urufu...

Thanks for the review. Thumbs Up
If BOP and WOP are the same than it is definately a waste of money.
According the review:
-Scale problem: Houses are tiny, trees are huges, tanks are smaller than motorcycles, tiny planes in huge hangars etc.
-No Axis campaigns.
-No Axis cockpits.
-Limited number of missions.
-Lack of campaigns.

This looks like it'll be a fun disctraction and a bit of just plain ol' pointless fun,plus I think it'll definitely bring more people to this sim.The first "sim" I got into was Blazing Angels,very lite on the sim side(very very) but it bridged the gap for me and made me seek out more realistic fligth game which led me here.

plus it supports trackir and hotas's so I'll prob pick this up for S#@ts and giggles

Gibbage raises a good point.

I was disappointed when it first came out that it was only for consoles (as BoP).

I'll give it a try for the sake of the graphics.

We don't know hw relistic it is going to be it may be really realstic if the devs know what they are doing any way i saw somthing i think where the devo of iL2 BOP said that he understands how the consol players want somthing more instent action and less relstic so let's hope he takes that onbord and brings a good realistc flight sim

You bring up a good point, but I think that a bunch of snot nosed degenerate kids would not last long on here. I see what they do on other forums, but hey, if we could straighten out Stealth_Owl...then straightening out a thousand new kids will be a thousand times more difficult, right? Veryhappy

The reasonable thing to do was upgrading our Il-2 to BoP graphic quality standards, not porting the game. Now that's a v.5.00 I'd pay for.

Wings of Prey is still Ilyas' creation, right? I know he made BoP, with a little help from Oleg.

Negative.

Neither of them had anything to do with BOP development other than Maddox games supplied FM data. Nothing else came from IL2, or it's team.

Already have 1946 so why? It's like reading a good book then looking to buy the comic, errr, graphic NOVel.
