FSX through the eyes of the thread starter.... (1st image) followed by 3 of mine from a kent fly-around last night.

It's my opinion that FSX is always going to be far superior out of the 3 (FSX, WOP & COD) because of its sheer volume of 3rd party payware (although the only addons I am currently using are Horizon's Generation X VFR scenery & the A2A Spit).
Having said that, COD does what it does very, very well. It's a deeply immersive combat sim & very ambitious with its environment. WOP can look good at times but the maps are miniscule; COD is loading up a huge theatre each time we play.
Sorry if this has already been said; I haven't fully read the entire thread.

Philip, I hate to break it to you, but you do not speak for all the people in England. I have seen plenty of people from England who think that CoD does a pretty good job of simulating England's landscape.

And your clams that WoPuke does a better job are utterly ridiculous because YOU HAVE NO F-ING SCREENSHOTS WHICH SUPPORT YOUR VIEWS. IF WINGS OF PUKE DID A BETTER JOB YOU WOULD POST SCREENSHOTS WHICH SUPPORT THAT CLAIM. YOU HAVEN'T, SO PLEASE STOP PRETENDING THAT IT IS AN ACCEPTED FACT. IT ISN'T.

How's this for you:
nice and neat layout, just like in the photos posted before hand.
It's far from an absolutely perfect representation, but it's a damn site better than CoD. And that is the opinion of both an English person, and someone who has compared these shots to photos. Show me a picture of CoD with a border layout of fields and trees similar to England....you won't find one.

I'm only advocating layouts here, just to say, not colours. And similar pictures of WoP have been posted in this thread...

Oh, and would those English people who mention, please stand up?

I mean, if this won't cinvince you, I'm wasting my time. because I'm not slamming CoD, just saying that it is far from perfect.

OK, new picture added (from the demo)
And please, be analytical in your answers. You wouldn't get an E grade in a history essay by saying 'it's shit.'
