CoD vs some other sims that model Kent?

[mazex]

Did one of these comparisons when the first landscape shots of CoD arrived to I thought a revisit with the current version would be interesting as I've read some people that are discontent with CoD that said they where going back to FSX, X-Plane, WoP etc....

So let's compare apples and pears?

FSX on max:



CoD on high (on my old rig with no stuttering and rather OK fluid fps - better than FSX!):



Ohh - and then we have the bunch that say that WoP has so much better graphics than CoD (which they claim does not look much better than IL2). Lets test that?

CoD (aka "the real Deal"?):


WoP:


And add IL2 (pimped):

Nice!

Makes you realize how good this game actually is (can be ).

Mmm, is the Virge an upgrade compared to my Trio?

WoP has those horrible filters, but the shape and definition of the fields and patches of woodland looks MUCH better than CloD.

I think this is a fairer representation of FSX; the South East England scenery pack:
The onlt one to get the colours about right.

Down low over the cliffs please for comparison! I can go to Google Maps to look at satellite images

S!

Take the screens from same place as close as possible with same position of plane etc.. for example over Dover to get good comparison. Otherwise nice set of pics.

I bet it looks even worse down low...

It looks horrible?
It's a photo...it's a photo of South East England.

it doesn't have nice effects like distance desaturation/blue, but given that it is essentially a photo, does that mean that you think SE England looks horrible?


ed: just to be clear, I'm not trying to claim FSX scenery is better than anything...It's not my cup of tea, but I do think "Horrible" is a strange word for a photo of the landscape.
