Default OT : "Reality Check" looking at the "old" WWII Sim's?

I happen to be browsing YouTube the other evening, and I came across two video clips of CFS1 (Combat Flight Simulator 1) and EAW (European Air War) - they are called "ten years on - European Air War" and "ten years on - Combat Flight Sim 1". My goodness, how far things have come since then (1998 I think!?).
Of course there are other clips of "old" sims - even some clips of my very first flight sim "Su-27 - Flanker" I would guess 1996/1997, which, I recall, had a very sophisticated weapons system, but the graphics were obviously very plain/basic (magnificent for that time, of course!).
What these videos also show, is the "genius" and attention to detail of Oleg and his team.
I suggest that you have a look at how high "the bar" was 12 years ago and compare it with what is being done today - a combination of more powerful computers and sophisticated programming. They also make some of the "requests", that one reads on this forum, even more "amusing" - we're lucky to be living in this time!
