[rebelknight]

Anyone played this awesome game on the Console? the PC version is named Wing Of Prey.
I made a search and was surprised to see no thread for it.

The game is pretty new and seem quite awesome.

Anyone played it?

I tried the demo once on the 360. It was ****e. 1946 is still the best WW2 flight sim out there.

 

[Moose!]

Speaking as a fan of 1946, I can say it doesn't even slightly compare.

 

[Finaz]

Especially when you cannot play as the Germans in single player.

 

[Moose!]

Natürlich.

 

[Almalexia]

Hm, on that note, is Wings of Prey any good?

 

[cric]

I want a really good plane physics game. Meaning I can take some damage and my wing is bent but I can still fly or I take damage and I try to keep my plane from falling. IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 but I can't even get off the ground without crashing.

Wait, do you crash after you get up or do you fail to leave the ground altogether?

 

[Rujasu]

I can't even get off the ground without crashing.

I really don't understand how people can fail at that.

Anyway, Rise of Flight fits your description perfectly. WW1 flight sim with awesome physics.

I always crash on the ground and in the rare time I do get up I seem to get pulled down by something and I crash.

I always turn my rutter so I don't lean and then I lean the other way and then I lose control altogther and can't stop.

 

[Rujasu]

So in other words, you either swerve off the runway or pull the stick too hard. The thing that's pulling you down is called gravity.

 

[cric]

I know it's gravity but I mean as soon as I get up I lean right and go straight down no matter what I do. Also, I slowly up the power by 5% each time and I can't do anything once it goes off runway each time.

 

[Rujasu]

Magic fingers of fail, I suppose. You do go full throttle right from the start of the runway, right?

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

You don't need to pull on the stick to take of anyway, by the way.
The bird will take off when she's ready. All you need to do is give her gas and keep her steady.

 

[Rujasu]

Depends on the bird.

I'm referring to the smaller ones.
Oh and may I suggest you try something big first?
Like a TB-3?
