Is Wings Of Power A Good Deal?

[casey jones]

I see a lot of re-paints for B29,B17,B-24 but you must have wings
power. I saw one add for 70.00. Does anyone use WOP?

Cheers

Yes, but NOT for 70.00! That is FAR too expensive.

I bought WOP a few years back - actually, to be strictly accurate, I bought the Powerpack which bundled "Wings of Power - Heavy Bombers and Jets" with Firepower for CFS3.

Do I still use it? Yes, there are some very nice aircraft in the pack. Would I pay 70 bucks for it? No, but a quick look on Amazon shows it can be picked up for less.


As I said, there are some very nice aircraft in the pack and, in a couple of cases, they are the only game in town; as an aficionado of German jets this is the only way to pick up an Arado 234 (in any sim - Milton, if you're looking for a future interesting project ..... ) and the Ta 183 Huckebein is much better than the only freeware alternative out there. In terms of the heavies, it's variable; the Lanc, B-17 & B-29 are ok but there are freeware alternatives that are about as good, if not better (Dave Garwood, the FDG/ex-SOH Donationware and Gnoopey's, respectively) but I don't know of freeware alternatives for the Liberator & Privateer - in short all the models are good, if a little dated, and in a couple of cases this is the only game in town.

Possibly too much info there, but I hope it helps.

You'll need the "ww2 heavy bombers and jets" pack for that, and 70.00 is twice the price when it was released..

At Amazon you can get it (Used) for $24: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002IWYLS

I bought Heavy Bombers and Jets and WWII Fighters off Ebay a year ago for $10 boxed version was like brand new.

I would say keep looking at $70.

BTW I already had HB&J so I gave that copy to a member here. I only really wanted the WWII Fighters.
