R.I.Pee -F-S-X-
 

anyone look at FSX lately and notice the dull 'indoor' lighting on the aircraft in direct sunlight, and laughable excuse for "ocean"? CloD kinda ruins FSX for me :(

Looks ok to me.

wot's that @ 10 and 18 and 38 and 47 seconds in? and even the low altitude over water reveals the jerkiness of the sim

FSX always was alright at commecial airline height though... jitters terrain pops and heartache close to the ground though, z-fighting(?) with other aircraft and scenery objects

Yeah OT got owned there xD... Naaaaa but CloD definately looks better, but if anything from your FSX experience got ruined so much it was gonna be a thread in this forum... I PERSONALY would have brought up the cockpits... (It is true though, from the video above, the lack of shadows effect are very noticable now even on the outside... )

As for the ocean, I'd say they both the same kind of... And in both I really hate to see clouds and airplanes being reflected so nicely on completely disturbed water... Looks nice, but VERY unrealistic.

As long as a2a keeps pumping out accusimmed ww2 prop planes, this sim will never die for me

That's weird, because now I've finished the British campaign in CoD, I've shelved it until multiplayer is sorted and picked up FSX again!

The overall graphics quality of CoD is far superior to FSX, even with a few expensive FSX add-onns, although I think the freeware tiger moth I have is nicer than CoD's, but last night I flew a quick Liverpool to Cardiff in the dark with a thunderstorm in a Hawker Hunter (freeware) and had a real nail biting immersive experience.

So FSX ain't dead for me. Not yet anyway!:grin:

Well said.

"As for the ocean, I'd say they both the same kind of... And in both I really hate to see clouds and airplanes being reflected so nicely on completely disturbed water... Looks nice, but VERY unrealistic"

i noticed that normally you dont see the sun as an sphere in the sea

but how small does it light have to be so it gets bounced off staright?

I think FSX is great. The graphics are far below Cliffs but most everything else is superior...overall immersion, stability, the missions, SOUND, etc. I am a huge fan of combat sims but FSX is the best overall sim I've ever played. If you have not experienced FSX you should really get it.

I second that.
