OT: Wings of Prey 2 update

Recommended Posts

It looks like the Devs for Wings of Prey are going to be making some serious improvements to their game by building a completely new engine that has a number of capabilities that the original WoP could not handle.

Full Mission Editor, Improved Flight and Damage Models, better graphics and it would also seem that it will be able to handle much larger maps. Hmmmm. How large, I wonder? Maybe enough to cover all of France, I hope. :grin:

 

And they promise that if you own the original WoP, you'll be able to download and install all of the original content into the new sim so you can still fly your favorite maps, etc. Nice touch.

 

They will evidently be able to debut more information by May or June.

 

Here is the english translation of the story.

I'm a bit confused. Are these the same guys who make IL-2? Because I thought that company was the one making Cliffs of Dover?

Gaijin Entertainment makes Wings of Prey.

 

1C Company makes Cliffs of Dover.

 

I found an interview with Oleg and a WiP movie for CoD. Some of the ground object scenery (tanks, vehicles, buildings) actually look very detailed.

Those Spitfire engine sounds are just ridiculous in this video - a laugh!

I have heard a Spitfire coming, when I was in England, on a chalk hill.

There was an air show some 20 miles from my hill.

A Spitfire flying home from the event approached us, and we heard it, before we saw it.

The sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin engine is something you'll never forget!

Then we saw the fighter coming closer; we waved to the pilot, and he waved back.

When he passed us, the small valley between ours and the next hill was filled with

that distinct thundering drone.

Go and get some samples from Britain, Oleg!

 

Before you ask: the Mustang P-51 had the same engine - bathe your ears!

Yes, there is definately a difference in the sounds. The P51 sounds magnificient! Truly awe inspiring. Let's hope that the sounds in the video were just WIP placeholder sounds until they got the right ones.

The Spitfire I added above MAY have the Griffon engine - it seems to sound brighter, I think.

Great news Hellshade!...looking forward to that.

 

My one gripe about the game, is the oh so bright sky...it's really hard to see things quite often...hope they do something about that
