I'm sure that a CloD developer, if he was able to speak freely, would hold up his hands and say "we don't have the experience or resources to make a rendering engine as efficient as the WoP one". It amazes me that some of you can't see that the developers have some serious lack of resource, despite them openly admitting it. They're having problems with tree generation, SLI, buildings, clouds, the list goes on.
I wish I hadn't bothered making a remark about the graphics now. There are too many rabid fanboys. I love IL2 Sturmovik and I want this sequel to be as good as it can be, but I don't see why I should stick my head in the sand. The dev team should not be immune to criticism in some silly attempt to "save" them. They will be judged on the merit of their work (and patches!), not on this forum.

Sorry, but you really have no idea about what you are talking about.
It is not the same, not even similar, render a small terrain, wich is static in memory, or large wich need to be swapping as necessary from memory. Not even close. To make WoP is easy, really easy, compared with CoD. If you want you can compare with FSX, wich is the only that is doing something similar with worse quality fron near. And yes, terrain that is not viewed is not rendered, but CoD has a very very far horizon compared with WoP. Technically CoD is far superior than WoP in every aspect. And, as I posted before, if Luthier could (or want, wich is not the case, fortunately ) remove that large scenery, reduce tree number, view distance, reduce shadows, FM, DM, IA... then you will have, with the same engine, an arcadish game like WoP, but more beautifull and for sure with more smooth gameplay. I would like to see anyway the WoP engine performing like CoD with similiar terrain ad FX and.. oh wait... WoP engine can´t do that!
