LOL, we hate "light" sims, and the visuals are crap IMO. All yellow and brown, very arcadish, and the hdr effects are completely overdone and don't belong there in the first place. Nowadays HDR, blooming, softening and color filtering are seemigly the last resort for game developers who just don't manage to put together a game that has its own visual originality.

IL2FB and ROF have their own visual styles.
BS and A-10 are interesting in this respect: very accurate and hardcore on the simming side, while the visuals - though extremely detailed - simply lack the artistic originality that is present in IL2FB and ROF. Google maps just doesn't cut it mapwise.
But Birds of Prey? I could puke every time i see a screenshot.

S!
