Go play il2 on some closed pit serve at 1600x1200 - and I guarantee that after an hour you will be angry and frustrated to the max, because time and time again you will not be able to see that you're near an enemy who will about to shoot you down. Please read THIS thread - its all about equal opportunities to spot the enemy! Last edited by combatdudePL; 02-08-2011 at 07:24 AM. |

It's been years since lower resolution screens were available and who would want one in a modern game with it's more sophisticated graphics? Perhaps only those who need a false edge? CoD will be a cutting edge game/simulation. You can't expect IL-2 or CoD to run well on a 1GHz single core pentium and over the years most people have found it necessary to upgrade their PC boxes just to be able to play even IL-2. Why not the monitor? What's the point of playing such great games if you dumb down 50% of the graphics? If people are so passionate about their hobby they need to invest a little more in it and move on, it's not like it costs an arm and a leg, especially compared with a PC box upgrade. Otherwise, they are inevitably going to be left behind as the world of PC gaming moves on.

Are you aware of the fact that the guy you are telling that he will be "angry and frustrated after playing an hour of Il-2" happens to be the one who made the sim for you, so you are actually able to fly it for half your life? If you didn't have Il-2 you'd have no realistic combat air sim at all to bitch about. But obviously you'd find some other thing to whine about, probably gardening or basket-weaving. |

The point stands, resolution is meaningless as there is no direct correlation between resolution and physical pixel size.

OLEG WROTE: Perfect answer really....
I would also add for all, that we can't track the size of pixel for the different physical size of monitors with the same resolution in pixels. For example I have two monitors with the same pixel resolution at home... both full HD, however one is 13 inches of high end ligth weight carbon noterbook, but another is 24 inches standard monitor... Cheat? Definitely cheat speaking about size of the dot in this case ! Quote:
Thank you for the greatest laugh of all time on this forum. LOL Honestly. Comedy doesn't write itself as well as that. Ohhhhhhh the irony.... the IRONEEEEEEEEEEEY |

I currently play Il2 at 1920X1200, Obviously the dots are a little harder to see especially against terrain, but they can be seen you just have to look real hard, which i imagine the most successful fighter pilots would be good at. In fact I have found that sometimes you can see the dot but when you zoom in you lose it, I have also found that darker dots tend to be the enemy and lighter ones are usually friendly, as anyone else noticed this?
