Your screens of clodo 1946 take a monumental slap by wop...

The systems modelling and DM alone are nowhere near CloD in any of those arcade games. They don't want to be a sim so don't judge them as a sim. But CloD (or BoM) don't want to be an arcade game with a pretty face but no particular systems depth so don't judge it by those standards.

I am not a developer but I do not think there is a direct link between a graphic or graphics engine and simulation. With all bugs sorry but CLODO is arcade...

Exactly so keep your uneducated opinions to yourself, or else you just look like a fool. :rolleyes:

While details on the ground, its quality, texture, clouds, colors, have a role in a game arcade or simulator. And marmot covers the chocolate ...

So gentlemen make me realize that a simulator will necessarily graphics rotten and not the arcade.

I stop and talk to you ... Continue to say Amen.

Graphics are very important, but I hope that you realize that most people here still prefers Il2:1946 over Birds of Prey, despite the latter has stunning graphics, better effects, plenty of colors etc.

Not at all ... WOP pic looks cartoonish, unrealistic, very far from a picture and made to please the eye of FPS players ... what it will be imo.

Not releasing a patch with broken particle system absolutely makes sense, even if the patch is already months overdue.

I really like the screenshots of BoM although they would certainly look even better with AA working :) I can already see myself flying over the Eastern front again. (last time was 2002-2003, and back then IL2 almost cost me my diploma thesis).

In the last years I have played mostly turn based strategy and tactical games (like JA2). But since that genre is dead as a doornail I feel my interest in flight sims is rising again to the old levels. The possibility of a finally working Battle of Britain sim and new Eastern front sim is an absolute dream.

Currently, I still don't own COD, last week I almost succumbed, but without the patch that would be anticlimatic at best. Once the patch is out, I will reconsider. Ah, and Steam has to go too, but I could resign myself to that. Perhaps, probably ..

;)
