They used the IL2 engine that was developed by Maddox games, so where do you stand now. These lovely posts you are all making against Maddox games looking shit are ridiculous, I hope you have the decency and maturity to say you were wrong when they sort this out.

Each Sim has it's merits and failings.

Currently I am very, very impressed with Wings of Prey and the Developer's continue to improve it.......while listening to their customer feedback.

The Gaijin Studio is small, has only been running 2-years in Flight Sims and yet has produced Software for PC, PS3 and 360. They have created Two flight simulations including Apache Air Assault and this is in a very short business life-span.

Consider that to the experience and time that IL2 has had to update 1946 and then create CloD and it's not a fair comparison.

I am truly impressed with WoP and the new patch which vastly improves the FM of current aircraft.

I do know that in the future CloD will of-course be as good as IL2 1946 was, but lets also be honest and say that WoP on full Graphics settings, at 1920x1200 runs on very humble systems. I love the particle effects, water and oil on the cockpit, draw distance....it blows me away.

That is MHO, but I can't change anyones choice, I can just make mine, and for now I have CloD installed, but am only flying WoP until maybe 3-4 months down the line when CloD becomes a Gold release rather than a Beta European and Russian test for the American market!

However, I like WoP, here's why;

and this dogfight video I made....look at the Oil effect on the Cockpit;

Now Gaijin are working on a new product and whether you like it or not, just look how fast that terrain is generated in the software.....amazing:

Finally I look forward to Ground Attack Missions in Wings of Prey or the upcoming Wings of Prey 2, because if you look at these effects from Apache the ground effects will be incredible!

I'm not comparing, they are two different pieces of Software. My examples are describing why I like WoP and why I will one-day like CloD.

Music sets mood, that is all. I suppose I could have used Gladiator or Pirates of the Caribbean....but these would have been historically incorrect surely?

Now you compare WW2 Combat footage I created and complain it is set to Batman Music, well, it appears you are barking up the wrong tree.

The first issue of Batman was published in 1940, so using the Music from Batman could not be more appropriate, I'm sure you will agree?

Thnakyou, Game, Set and Match.....MP

Kind of silly statement isn't it? Some people are saying CoD does not look realistic and would like the devs to fix it. So if the devs fix it the complainers should apologise and say, "we were wrong and the devs were right, because the devs fixed it it the end". Erm, isn't that what these people want, so if the devs do fix it they are essentially agreeing with the complainers. So to quote you... "I hope you have the decency and maturity to say you were wrong when they sort this out".

Nope, you just can't read properly. I agree that this game needs fixing and quickly hence the statement that "when they sort it out".

We have heard that most of the features in this game are switched off and will be put back in as soon as performance is fixed etc. When you have idiots saying that the graphics (the be all and end all of everyone's enjoyment, yeah right) of CLOD are crap and they should employ Gajin to do them instead then any other statement that you utter
is just nonsense and should be ignored. When people talk/post crap that's how they should be treated.

@winny I was not aware to the extent of Maddox games but I thought they used the models of planes as well?

We are in a thread dealing dealing specifically with CoD terrain graphics. My reaponse referred to the terrain and only the terrain, not the entire sim.

However I agree that tunes of the colors should be done in future. It isn't simply there in the game just gamma or RGB. In realoity there is done very compex mix of real light laws. It is very hard to get them alos like the human eye will see it. From another point of view, how it is done with physics - it is right. Color changed depending time of day, altitude, thickness of air masses, etc
