[quote] Those lamenting the lack of a PC port for Gaijin Entertainment's well-received IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds Of Prey need no longer be sad, for the developer has announced a PC-exclusive combat flight sim called Wings Of Prey, which sounds very much like an enhanced port, sans the IL-2 name, right down to Jeremy Soule's musical accompaniment:

"Wings of Prey" is based around the large-scale aerial combat and ground military operations of World War II. Players can participate in some of the war

Another IL2 Bird of Prey is out for XBOX....can it be too much arcade?

Is this... - Planemad - 06.11.2009

Is this going to be Birds of prey on PC, because I'v got birds of prey on X-Box and its CRAP its so unrealistic, I still prefer to play 1946 moded!

Yea right, 1946 moded is mutch mutch better even if BoP is funny to play but nothing more.

More than that Okinawa retextured showed us it is possible to have quite same graphics.....so 1946 more than ever :wink:

its based on original il-2 not on 46 as i ve been told
ive seen some screenshots two weeks ago and they looked good

the topic theyre refering to is now gone, but Jason from http://777studios.net/index.html made the announcement


imho with full visuals mod package il2 1946 looks almost as good as that BoP stuff

Is a good idea, that game will call more and new people for simulation world, all know the IL-2 1946 box, is really "old" game, for vision of normal gamers, the up-grade in new box was a smart decision, and more $ to suport BOB workers.

@Paulo Hirth

..... and more $ to suport BOB workers......

thats where you are wrong!!
This company has nothing to do with OM or with the BoB Team except that they bought some stuff from OM to create BoP.


- Guest - 06.11.2009

rascal, your post just negates itself....if they bought 'some stuff' from OM, that means that OM DID, in fact, make some $ from it...no?? :wink:


- rascal57 - 06.11.2009

@bigbossmalon

no, it doesn't!
That company bought the rights to use some stuff from il2 for BoP.
WoP now is a different pair of shoes. This product is a direct competitor for il2-1946.
Money spent on WoP doesnt reach OM, maybe some of those people buying WoP would have bought 1946 instead.


- RudyFaasse - 06.11.2009

I have the demo for the Xbox (That Bird of Pray) but i don't like it. Yes, nice details, but too arcade for me. I like this IL-2 1946 more on the computer.


- Testus - 06.11.2009

This PC game is to be released in December this year.
Looks like a PC version of Xbox & PS3 IL 2 Birds of Prey (same publisher)
