Re: "I like both games... but I don't see you bashing ROF for its faults and it has some".


You don't see me bashing ROF because I don't 'bash' games period. Like yourself, I have a great love and respect for both titles & like you, I have a healthy graphical preference of one over the other. I also like to use my own video work to put over a personal opinion.

I made some record tracks of the offline Scrambles 15vs15 in different times of day and I can just tell you - try it. Put 15 vs 15 at 19:45, no clouds... You'll be surprised how sunset light is giving a great immersion and experience.

Problem is, that the very majority of ClOD videos on youtube and elsewhere are made at evenings, where the light is affected by the orange colour of the sunset. Why? Because at noon it just looks awful... Not only videos, but also screenshots... Just look at these screenshots right from the game - no editing at all.. It is taken at scramle time at 19:45.

And this are screenshots made on max settings (no super sampling) on a single GTX 570... Everything is smooth, no errors, no nothing disturbing. Just try such scramble, it is just a joy of air combat.

Off topic but in your pictures you have a lever that operates an opening in the top part of wing..what is that?

I noticed it when flying RoF once or maybe just see it in game and wondered

Do not forget that different people have different views on what is cartoonish and what is close to photo-realistic. Tastes differ as they say. Thanks God and MG we have different sims for different tastes.

Textures high (not original maximal), landscape shading medium, low forest, buildings and AA. Driver settings set on "quality" instead of "high quality" due to old and slow videocard.
