I actually think WoP looks fantastic in those pictures, and will probably surprise myself and buy it soon :|

However, I never claimed wop was totally realistic, I said it was more realistic than no haze at all.

Wait, are you saying there's no haze in cod? I have haze.

As for the shots, yes, on cranking up the game and being amazed at how it looked, I used playback to get screen shots just like most other gamers do to take screen shots from different perspectives. Every shot I posted was taken directly in mission or directly after; or have you never used an external view in a flight sim, when you have been impressed with what you have seen, as for the shots themselves, I have not had the game installed for nearly a year as the fm was too arcade for me.

Of course, but my point is that wop doesn't look anywhere near as good from the players viewpoint, ie; in the pit. It looks good, just not as good as external shots do, obviously that is just my opinion :)

Finding problems in COD is as easy as turning it on, it is plagued with problems.

Graphically it is also full of 2d sprites (8 bit graphics technique) everywhere the devs think they can get away with them to get frame rates up, you might want to take off those rose coloured specs and apply the same analytical eye you used for wop.

However, do not misunderstand I want COD to succeed, but claiming it is head and shoulders above everything else is frankly childish and complete fantasy.

You have no idea how funny these comments are.

This is reality:

No green haze.

I took every one of these photographs. Only one was adjusted because the weather was so hazy that we could barely see, but I'm on a roll so I decided to include it anyways. The rest are all spot on.

The real world is NOT covered in a green haze. Period. Graphically WoP is a DISASTER.

Let's see all the green soup photographs you've taken.

WoP is quite peculiar they chose this old postal card style, with a permanent hazy fog of war and a sepia effect, it feels like you're in a movie, pretty successful but very different

FSX= dx9+32 bit system.

CoD=dx10+64bit system and maybe dx11.

No really, don't bother. It looks really good and, who knows, might even in a reincarnation be something to think about as the devs are considering taking it to another level, but as it stands it's as deep as a puddle. The Paris Hilton of flight sims.

Now if RoF could come up with a Mk. Vb and a 109F they would have my attention.
