If you want reality, go learn to fly, there is no substitute for it.

I would suggest in your 40+ years of flying England never looked like this, perhaps your eyesight (and brainpower) are failing. There are pictures on the thread, grandad.

I have neither the time nor the disposable income for a pilot's license, nor for that matter a time machine to fly in WW2, hence why I play flight sims. It is not a particularly difficult concept to grasp really is it? I don't expect perfection but I do expect a reasonable simulacra of a landscape I am somewhat familiar with; given today's immense computing power I don't see why this isn't possible.

I'm in my fourth decade of life living in said region, I think I know what it looks like. I don't need to be a pilot to know how green the grass is!

David, colours aside, is the layout of everything in CloD's terrain superior to WoP? And if so, why in your opinion? I like how you only answer the posts where you feel you will appear 'correct'.

Looks good to me, I still hold a class 1 medical so have reasonable faith in my AME's judgement that I am of sound mind and eyesight. I think we should at this point agree to disagree.

Actually, looking at vegetation from abowe is not the same as looking at it from ground level. I've flown quite a bit, and being a landscape ecologist I usually take the oportunity to study landscapes from the plane window.

Oh btw "David Hayward" try not to "make hay" (do you see?) out of other people's arguments when you lost your own, not a good look.

Hardly, if my perception changes that dramatically in the coming years I'm going to assume I have cataracts. Dude could be lying about his credentials to 'win' for all you know, this is the internet after all.

Well if Dr Riviera has signed you off how can I disagree. I would caution though if that looks OK then perhaps you should take care when approaching traffic lights?



I have been in a plane one or two times, yeah? Looking through the window isn't like looking through a kaleidoscope. Landscape ecologist? You mean a gardener?
