well i have to say compare to COD, the pics are weak!you can tell its the texture which will look blurry from close again, plus it looks unbalanced with the trees sticking out like that and the sea is far from feeling like a real one, i have to say COD won this one easily.

That is precisely the point: If any of them call themselves, seriously, "pilots", they are nerds.

No son, I refrain from taking this title as I have a real life too.

Try to keep a healthy distance.

really? i have to say if you follow the updates developments closely its not extra rounding, its more than that, its the love for detail, the feeling to make things looks good and right from any view , and the extra new features, like working fluids in the planes, advanced physics, FM and tons of other new stuff, but your right why the fingerpointing, these 2 games cannot be compare, they are way different.

I agree that MS Flight looks exactly like FSX with ORBX and REX addons in place as default environments -

but then, when you render it all down to brass tacks, Il2:CoD looks like Il2 with hackmods in place and a little extry rounding on the models courtesy of the added polygons you get with PC improvements so....

why all the fingerpointing ?

Please, no one called anyone nerd here in this thread before this post? I just pointed out that the "new" engine from Microsoft is just the old stiff from the axed Aces Studio with some new lip stick - so no need for Oleg to worry they may be cooking CFS4

Well, I also own FSX and play it occasionally. I have never liked the graphics engine though,especially down low, and the fact that a company with MS muscles could not fix the dx10 support after using that feature to market Me 2 is interesting when complaining that CoD will not have Dx11 from start.

Regarding calling people nerds I thougt that it was something most people stopped doing after high school when they stopped being concerned about trying to be like the coolest guys in school? And yes, I was one of those cool guys that did not dare keep up my programming I had done before high school to risk beeing called nerd (it was like that in the mid-late 80:ies). So instead I called other insecure kids nerds and got laughs from the other guys and girls in the high status gang at school... Like a damn cheesy high school movie from Hollywood

Finally I got enough confidence to realize I could be a computer nerd and still get invited to the cool parties and date the cute girls that I wanted etc, but that confidence was gained by pushing others down calling them nerds etc and they never got out of it until moving somewhere else to college where very few in Sweden at least continue calling people nerds because of their interests...

Way off topic there

It looks nothing like Il2 with hackmods? IMO, but you are right most people would consider us all nerds.

Where as to me, the shot looking down at the ocean and runway, where every little stream on every hill in the forest is sparkling like the sun is directly on it looks comically bad.

Look at the new January 2011 screens and think about that before whining about the landscape shots Oleg has released - or the palette for that matter... A small Russian company does this and the worlds largest software company gives us that? Look at screen 4 - is it only me or does it look even worse than FSX? (which obviously is what Flight really is with some tweaks - I know). Look at the fields in shot 1 and compare to the Blenheim shot from the latest update...

Do you think they will manage to get real DX10 support this time? Don't even dream on DX11 - but I guess they will promise that this time like they did with DX10 in FSX

So Oleg, you don't have to worry about them any more then

The link leads nowhere. Nothing!

I tried again...absolutely zero. Nothing in this link.
