Considering that your level of realism evaluation only takes into account the amount of polygons and the texture resolution, it's not hard. You only have to walk outside to see how unrealistic WoP is. I'll tell you about something more realistic. Try FSX. I don't even like it, don't play it, but it's more visually realistic than WoP, especially at medium to high altitude.

Well, if you saw the link I posted a while back, you see some scenery without bogus saturation and without appearance of filters. It is still not perfect, but at least it is more realistic.

And be careful about who you assume is just a keyboard flier.

Here it is again, so you won't have to dig through the thread. Now, I am not talking about LOD, Polygons, Textures, etc. I'm talking about saturation, hues, and filters.

When you go flying, be sure to take some photos and share them with us 'keyboard fliers'.

Not complaining about it, and it is sure better than Il-2. It was smooth, and pretty, but not realistic.

I agree its NOT realistic, but there may be reason for it! I was up just last weekend, midday sunshine with snow covered ground areas, same conditions as simulated in the video and I gotta tell you visibility is blinding!! Ground colors and detail are much filtered as is lighting in the extreme in the game but I would assume this is done for better gameplay as otherwise you`d have a hard time seeing your advesary or anything for that matter.

Eeeer what are you guys complaining about? WoP is just a half arcade half sim WW2 aircraft game with very nice graphics and a decent gameplay. Leave it as it is!

Yes, it's not a sim, so nothing in the game is meant to be 100 or 90% accurate.

But it's a good game to get people want to move further to playing sims! It fills the gap between pure arcade games and sims. Isn't it what was needed to help people cross the bridge towards sims?

Geee.

What exactly do you find 'Hollywood' or 'Saving Private Ryan' about these graphics .....

Perhaps your sense of color is not "fine tuned" enough see how the game visuals have been "tweaked for effect"...the most noticeable thing they have done is desaturated the colors. This technique was used to great effect in "Saving Private Ryan".

I can see how it might be frustrating for you, when you don't understand what people are talking about. My suggestion is to keep playing "BoP" and don't worry what other people think...Just enjoy your game play...

My vision was good enough to get a private pilots license. 22/20 left eye, 24/20 right.

BTW Its W.o.P -- and I never worry about what fanbois have to say.

It would be quite a feat, for a 'keyboard jockey' to frustrate me. Indeed this thread is proof positive that the reverse is true

Thanks for your concern though.
