Yeah, there's already a thread somewhere a page or two back discussing the demo.  In short, graphics are nice, immersion is good, flight model is average with the game being tailored to the mass market as opposed to the niche combat flight sim junky.  Works great with an Xbox 360 controller.

Wings of Prey sounds familiar. No, never heard of it. Just looks like the PC version of that crap Birds of Prey for consoles that IL-2 Sturmivok has out IMHO.

Same engine as Birds of Prey but not the PC port of that game.  Birds of Prey is slated to be released sometime this century on the PC.

Pc full version has good graphics, flight model seems a bit more unstable.
By unstable I mean it's almost easier to have the plane depart
depending on speed and AOA. Get past the fact it is not AH and it's not a bad game.

Multiplayer isn't bad except not too many people have the game which
translates into not having too many people to play against. No ground fights
and once again, it's not AH. It's not like the guys who made are trying for it to be
Ah either though. The p51 in the game has a gunsight that makes an attempt at
lead computing. The ground looks pretty good and flying through the weather and clouds
is pretty well done also. You get a wing shot up and it loses lift, dive too hard and you might not
pull it out of the trees. Just because it's not AH doesn't mean it's bad. It just doesn't have alot of people on
at the same time or a ground/ bomber side to it.
