Doesn't look that bad, waters a bit naff but it's more support for the genre

How is that related to the Aerofly FS game? As far as I can tell Aerofly does not use the Outerra engine.

Yes, my fault sorry... it was directed to the guys who talked about bad low altitude quality.

I should have quoted them.

It also has no relevance to the comments as outerra uses terrain generation rather than mapped satellite images.

Hmm, I wish we could get an unedited video. In this one the ground level graphics look like modded 1946, at altitude we have nice looking satellite textures, but these edited videos NEVER show the transition between the two...

Some low level shots in this one, I'm convinced.

Haters gone hate.


I think it looks beautiful. The colours look natural; everything looks so organic. Compare to CloD and it's clear to see where the latter fails: an England that looks like an 8 year olds artistic impression with pastels (granted his teacher coloured up to the lines for him) and a lack of knowledge on how to make the terrain appear completely natural. (France in CloD is a lot different, however, as it is leaps and bounds over blighty in the graphics department).

I would love to see the transition process for this scenary more clearly. Certainly a mix b/w detailed low level scenary and advanced photo-realistic scenary from altitude is the way forwards in creating a jaw-droppingly realistic environment.

at 0.45 you can see why CloD is better in terms of landscape-graphics...

Looks nice, but you have to remember that mountains almost always look spectacular when satellite textures are overlaid on top of them. That's why FSX, Xplane, and this sim are using them to showcase their graphics.

Looks like an expensive game as you can only use it with their controller, baffling why they won't let you use your own joystick
