This is a picture from reality, I was in the fw, so you can see that il2 is very close to the real thing. If you don't like the fw, tell me, I'll rent another plane and take the picture again.

How do you guys upload pics BTW?

What's bother me with il-2 1946 or COD is the cartoonish textures and colours, they reminds me Mario kart on the N64. I'm not speaking about luminosity, an bright sunny day is really "bright" but something is strange with the tone of the colours.

The first FSX screencap (with the aftermarket terrain) looks like someone who wasn't very skilled with photoshop took a picture of the ocean, and then just straight-up posted a photo of Kent over top of it.

The second one with the Fighter looks like someone took google earth screencaps and crudely drew a road over top of it, then used it as a texture for the old turn-based Combat Mission game and added stock houses and trees.

What FSX does do very well (with aftermarket packs) are cities and mountains. not so much the country and shores.
