Immersion that draws you into the game with the feeling off: so now I know how these pilots felt when they looked down and saw the landscape below. This is as close as I can get to flying a spitfire without actually physically flying one...

Two different definitions and I would argue "genres".

This is the truth here. I have to go for the real life as opposed to the post processed look myself. I prefer the realistic look as opposed to the "gritty realism" look personally. It works well in film, but I don't want to feel like I am playing in a film. You can as others have pointed out add such post processing through your drivers if you really have to have them to feel like you are in the action.

I believe what the 1C Maddox team has done is what is the best all rounder, and I look forward to flying and dieing when Il-2:CoD hit's shelves here in the U.S.. Not because it will feel like a movie or a game, but for just the opposite.
