'Dogfight mode' & 'evasion' is purely watching a couple of needles aligning themselves before punching a few buttons simultaneously.

Fairplay to the devs; they have only ever strived to aim their product at the arcade market & to the action gamer & this title is certainly doing that en masse.

With every Ace Combat, Hawx & any other console flight title to come & go, it just saddens me to think of just how bloody brilliant 'Over G Fighters' actually was for a console flight title. Sad because it's brilliance was so short lived.

Bit more advanced than F18 Interceptor for the Amiga.... That carrier takeoff just takes me back to 1988.

Yeah it's real footage and the map size isn't that much of an issue. You could build a map like this even for games like CloD. Using zoning e.g.
And of course it's not realistic - the console market just isn't meant for hardcore simmers...

But still, most of this is procedural and / or bought. The reason why most sim companies don't include such beautiful landscape is not because they couldn't technologically but because it'd add additional costs for the objects they need to buy. They don't just sit there and create models of buildings for years.

So yeah, there is no such thing as an engine limitation responsible for this. Usually it's just money.
