I've had it with this sorry piece of software. I spent a lot of time trying to like it, but I just can't. It has too many flaws and the flight models plain suck. I'm going back to the best of the best, IL-2 1946, and will happily fly it until SOW is released. At least IL-2 is a real air combat simulator, this is just a console dummned down version of a mediocre air combat sim. Sorry that I wasted my money on it.

The flight models came from IL2.

I bought it to support the developers but it looks like they don't want to improve it.

Have to agree it is DOA...just check the people "viewing" and you'll see very few.

Its funny that people can't just play both, Thats what I do.

I have gotten my money out of WOP, but I also made it very clear to Anton, and Gajin, I won't support the Next WOP unless it has a Full QMB, FMB, Dedicated servers, and no time limit.

I also must say though,
This whole thing on the FM is BS they are the exact same as il2, the difference is the plane doesn't shake like it should near stall, and that needs to be fixed.

However I myself and many others have set up monitors side by side with the same aircraft on WOP and Il2 running at the same time and their stall speeds and everything in the FM is the EXACT SAME.

Seems like they mentioned even the Mustang full fuel tank issue was inherited from the original.

Try using nothing but Rudder to turn in both.

Gaijin are too busy making their Heli sim now to do anything about WoP.

Completely useless thread......you could have known al this before you bought it!

Oh yeah? How would I know that? I am not a clairvoyant. Are you?

Guess not. You are just WOP fanboy. Now go fly a kite!

It's dead for a long time now... bad business= no future buy for me.

Agree big time! Not worth the time and money. But then, I am weak and could not help myself.

The tiny BOB map, time limits, and the overdone glare killed the game for me. I was hoping to come back when things improved, but I haven't seen to much activity from the devs for sometime.

I have enjoyed WOP very much and think the graphics are what SOW will need to come up too. I expect it will.

I had a blast flying these planes around, it could have been a more enjoyable experience, but I have no regrets

You're probably one of those impatient kids bragging about being the first to have it,before awaiting any sort of review,and than put the blame elsewhere if it's not what you expected,right?
How did you know i fly kites?

Time limited missions and lack of FMB mean I play it rarely now, but enjoyed many aspects of it, and if they do a Pacific one I'll buy that.
I just wish it had come out a couple of years ago, before Black Shark and RoF, I would have had a lot more time for it.

Hands down if they release a new one with no time limits and a Full QMB and A FMB and Dedicated serverd for MP and COOP . I will buy it in a flash and I know a lot of people who will buy it too.
The new one will just take WOP's spot on tues nite in between Black Shark Mondays and Rof Wensdays ! LOL

So you will wait a long time... because as usual with their VERY VERY bad communication (we fans are just commodities with a bank account for them) , they just got a contract with Activision to do a remake of "Apache Air Assault" for console. Of course they didn't had the simple courtesy to tell their fans on the Youplay forum about this new schedule.

I bought it and I liked what I saw....at first.
WoP had a lot going for it. But the gameplay really let it down. I never felt I was in a sim.
Granted the textures and effects were very well done and if we could have got this in IL2 I would have been very happy. However after a while I soon tired of it. The career mode is very FPS orientated and I half expected to find a powerups somewhere in the missions.

It's a shame I would have liked to see the title open up and become more like IL2, instead it went the way of extra aircraft rather than mission builders and a more realistic sim approach.

It's now uninstalled.

So you didn't like the single missions either? You played that with limited fuel/ammo and set to simulation difficulty?

Just checking, a lot of people never even unlock Sim difficulty or play the single missions. That's the meat of the game. The rest just builds you up to that.

I would never use it in any other way than in simulation mode. With limited ammo and set at difficult. However I'm not interested in playing single missions unless they are linked into an interesting campaign.
All this complete this objective before you can move on in a mission or campaign is an immersion killer

I think that the amount of viewers and posters in this forum hints strongly that this sim has no legs unless the sim is upgraded. Where are the developers who stated they are in it for the long haul? Have they moved on to other projects? Will these projects include improvements to this sim much like the IL-2 series improved with each addon? I haven't been following the development for months.

Feel free to start following development before jumping on the bandwagon:

http://forum.yuplay.com/index.php?showforum=8

Looks like another update of some kind is on the way.
This forum is barely a year old and it's got more threads going than some topics that have been here much longer. I'd say it's doing just fine.

I see very little activity in this forum and the Yuplay forum. I'm sure the sim has a few fans, but it still appears to have no legs. The patch appears to only fix some 1032 bugs. I haven't bought the 109 addon as it doesn't address the problems I have with this sim. Hopefully there will be a major upgrade that will bring more simmers into the fold, as it does have potential.

I wouldn't say it is DOA.. but it needs work... work that apparently is either not coming or long in coming.. and all things considered... if this "upgrade" does not come with a substantial discount for all who bought WoP I will not be spending a dime on it..

What development, there hasn't been anything other than plane of the month posts from the devs for months.

Like I said, read the forum. Or don't, I don't care.

I have read the forum, still fail to see this development you're talking about other than the aforementioned plane of the month posts.

I never did understand the "this sucks, I hate it" threads in any sim forum.
