Looks Like stuff from Battle field 360 engine.

It's Japanese so you would need to find some one from Japan to elaborate on.

That's pure CGI. There are a lot of movies from the same source, often using the same models.

Yes, games will look like this someday. When I started flying simulations, my screen looked like this:

This is what it can look like, now (and this is only the old engine...)

This guys stuff comes up on the forums every so often, and he is genius...

Here is his home page...he even has some tutorials on modeling a KI-61 in "Light Wave"

His web page has some links to more of his work if you are curious.

p.s. Oh, by the way (sorry) his name is Masaru Tochibayashi.

Hm, not related to original question, but that's Sakai in those movies, isn't he? I remember the second one from his book, not sure about first one, but the first one is too "geenral".

Very nice CGI.

Amazing! Very good made videos.

And to ansver to first question, I hope yes, one time they (sims) will look like these videos, and maybe better, just question when

Check out Ace combat 6 for some seriously impressive graphics. Yes, its an arcade game and doesn't contain some of the complex calculations a sim contains but visually, its stunning.

Oleg says that the SoW engine will look "cinematic". So SoW ought to look as good as these vids. Unless ofcourse Oleg is exagerating. But just by looking at some of the graphics in the new games coming out, Oleg could be damn close with his statements.

Graphics will definantly looks like this someday, but this is as said b4 pure CGI.
Already graphics are somewere close to this if simulators were to use all the latest graphical technolegy etc im sure they'd not look far from this

, anyway BOB will still be a Huge leap from the IL2 engine and look just awsome in comparance.

Btw gr8 cgi movies just awsome and love the sounds.
