You can apply and automatically get into the Beta for War Thunder - which is a new MMO from the same company that created Wings of Prey. I'm downloading the client now but there is a strict NDA so I can't post any screen shots or videos of experiences I will have. However they did release an authorized player made video or two. Here's one showing some action of the Pacific during WWII. I can't speak to flight characteristics since I haven't flown it yet, but it sure does look pretty.

A few official pre-release trailers can be found here.

MMO - NDA - no idea what that all is - shortages everywhere.

It's exactly the same as wings of prey, I played it earlier as I got in the beta, I think a lot of people expecting this to be amazing are going to be a bit disappointed but it was fun for what it is. The awesome thing was the performance, the mission I flew was amazingly smooth and had a bunch of planes and flak on it but the graphics I would put between IL2 and Rise of flight or something.

The best part of it is controls setup, you can opt to have the game just ask you in sequence "choose input for ailerons, hold axis full left" etc. for all the inputs which is FANTASTIC.

MMO - Massive Multiplayer Online

NDA - Non-Disclosure agreement

It means is a multiplayer game, in which you'll have to connect into a online server to play. When you are a beta tester, usually, you've to sign a NDA, so that you don't divulge, for example, anything related with the game which is still WIP (Work in Progress).

"Connection error. Game not activated on your account"

Anyone else get this error when trying to start the game?

Well technically I wasn't talking about my experiences in the game. I was talking about the fact that I couldn't get into it to have any experiences.

I had the same problem Hellshade, but I can log in now (it took about 24 hours).
