Crysis has wide jungle areas that are likely to require a lot of different high-resolution textures to look convincing - don't you see the parallel with a flight-sim there?
There's also a lot more going on in a flight sim than in those games where you rarely see more than a few people on screen at once and where their AI routines rarely have to do anything more complicated than establish a place where they are out of your line of fire when they aren't firing at you.

Agree, flight sims has a lot more going on, wither that be advanced ai, damage models, etc but it totally depends on the architecture of the engine and how much it stress the clients.

Aye, although I suspect that SoW might be one of those that does so at higher settings. Judging from Il-2's engine it will be quite scaleable, though. PS: You need to update your upcoming hit titles in your signature cause two of them are already out. :p

Nooo! forgive me, don't have time to politely argue with either of you, but nooo! you're quite wrong.

Rethink what you're saying

It's on my to-do-list of 2010.
