CoD vs some other sims that model Kent?

If you want reality, go learn to fly, there is no substitute for it.

I believe this is what you flyboys call "nought feet"



I would suggest in your 40+ years of flying England never looked like this, perhaps your eyesight (and brainpower) are failing. There are pictures on the thread, grandad.

I have neither the time nor the disposable income for a pilot's license, nor for that matter a time machine to fly in WW2, hence why I play flight sims. It is not a particularly difficult concept to grasp really is it? I don't expect perfection but I do expect a reasonable simulacra of a landscape I am somewhat familiar with; given today's immense computing power I don't see why this isn't possible.

Not as familiar with it as Blackbusheflyer, apparently

Looks good to me, I still hold a class 1 medical so have reasonable faith in my AME's judgement that I am of sound mind and eyesight. I think we should at this point agree to disagree.

David, colours aside, is the layout of everything in CloD's terrain superior to WoP? And if so, why in your opinion? I like how you only answer the posts where you feel you will appear 'correct'.

Actually, looking at vegetation from abowe is not the same as looking at it from ground level. I've flown quite a bit, and being a landscape ecologist I usually take the oportunity to study landscapes from the plane window. I'm not saying that CoD is more or less realistic looking (lack of hedgerows has been mentioned), only that a ground perspective is not necessarily representative of how things look from above.

I'm not as familiar with the layout as I am with colors and lighting. I would not be surprised if WoP has a more realistic layout because it has the advantage of a smaller map. Realism is much easier to do in small samples.

It would be silly for me to answer posts for which I thought I would appear to be wrong.

Hardly, if my perception changes that dramatically in the coming years I'm going to assume I have cataracts. Dude could be lying about his credentials to 'win' for all you know, this is the internet after all.

Oh btw "David Hayward" try not to "make hay" (do you see?) out of other people's arguments when you lost your own, not a good look.

Well if Dr Riviera has signed you off how can I disagree. I would caution though if that looks OK then perhaps you should take care when approaching traffic lights?

I have been in a plane one or two times, yeah? Looking through the window isn't like looking through a kaleidoscope. Landscape ecologist? You mean a gardener?

lol prolly gonna get spanked for this but i actually liked the desaturated feel to WoP, gave it a nice WW2 feel i thought.

Oh by the way anyone played with GAPA with CoD yet? just a hint

The only place I lost anything is in your imagination. The game looks ok to me. I'm happy. You're not happy. I win!

I might even be happy if they change the game to look more like you think it should look. As long as it isn't puke green, I still win!

Making asinine remarks about people who disagree with your opinion I suggest is also not a 'good look' and conducting an argument from a position of experience is surely advisable, less one be deemed foolish?
