Who said anything hateful about CloD in here? Also, hate is a strong word, try not to throw it around like an old rag. While on the same note it seems you "dislike" anything that isn't CloD, isn't that the same thing just in reverse?:rolleyes: Why is everybody comparing this flight sim to CloD? CloD is a combat flight sim, this is a recreational flight sim. Geez, lighten up, take in some new things instead of being such bigots. Regarding the graphics down low, no it doesn't look top notch but when you're at 3000 meters and looking down on those gorgeous looking swiss mountains, then who cares? But hey! let's go down that route, everything is sh*te except for CloD, you can clearly see this by the high activity and positive feedback on the main forum.:grin:

That's it, you bash him some, we'll all pretend to ignore philip.ed started it too ;)

S!

Clouds looked nice, trees were not shimmering nor the shadows, terrain did not shimmer at all and it looked pretty OK in general. Would be nice to try out the FM of it. And looks better than MS FS...

Someone who knows what he is talking about. WTG!

Hey, this was posted in the CloD forum so I saw every reason for comparison. I never hated on CloD too. I compared it truthfully, and I stand by my post. If every constructive comment against CloD is viewed as hate, I think that's ridiculous. I wouldn't post on the forum for a game I hate :rolleyes:

The terrain in this game does look a lot better to me than CloD. I would say that this and the French terrain in CloD are fairly equal, but England itself is a disaster for me. A great attempt, yes, but still rather awful. One of the earlier beta patches started a brilliant effort at overhauling the terrain, but the current patch looks nothing like England. This sim, however, shows terrain that looks realistic: the colours look natural, and the object placing seems extremely organic. Granted at very low altitude the terrain doesn't look as good, but how is that the main determinant for which is better? Most action happens at high altitude, and clearly Aerofly looks a lot better (at least to me).

CloD does tackle the terrain very well at low altitude, but as aforementioned, the organic nature of the terrain is vital to ensure it appears realistic. Tree placing in CloD is very poor: in most cases hedgerows would serve better than unrealistic lines of trees. A mix of CloD and this would be lovely.

I was referring to the hate comments, my apologies for being unspecific :)

What about gorgeous looking landing strips tucked away in mountain valleys?

That's cool I guess. One feature that really impressed me was the "change the weather conditions on the go" thingie. Check out the last video (flight physics) on the following link, at 00:39:

P.S Note the flags in the background :)

I live right in the area depicted by this sim and I must say, at medium altitudes, that this rendition is really really good.

Just ordered it.
