Something that you could think... ohh, yes, now I understand why they drop FS. But they bring us this. Not even bump mapping in the terrain, in a 2012 game! O_o

Pd: And yes, even in the non asistance "realistic" mode the FM is pfffff

Thanks for the pics Ailantd. I agree, truly horrible environment. Long live CloD.

Certainly adds a bit of perspective

if was running 1c, this day, i would go to luthier office, tell im to get is gmae working, stop the tank thingy, and develop a boing 767 simulator, and wait for the money.

no matter how bad COD is at the moment, it has a future, and a bright one i still believe, but this, this is just a dead horse.

Wow, thanks for posting this, especially all the pics. I had been thinking of buying FS + A2A Power 3 Spitfire + effects addons which would easily havevset me back $100+.

I think I'll just redirect that cash towards a new monitor instead and just wait for the upcoming CoD patch (which I know will fix every broken/missing feature mentioned in this forum).

I'm puzzled though. None of your pics had any Barbie fashions -- not even a Spitgirl! Very disappointing.

I was gonna post what i thought but Ailantd took the words right out of my mouth.
And yes, it really is that bad. I played the beta for all of 5 mins and shelved it straight away. Very glad i knew before i bought.

MS tend to show amazing cinematics and then...

Actually, FSX is not that bad a choice if you don't mind certain FM weaknesses in default FMs and you've got the wallet for a few add-ons that circumvent them. Not everything there is though, just some well done stuff and you'll have a good enough time. For example, getting a weather add-on along with some terrain add-on for the continent you mostly fly, plus a couple of aircraft you like. Plus, today's PCs can actually run it well enough.

I've tried some very good WWII birds on a friend's PC and they have the individual aircraft systems down to a rivet sometimes.
The rest can differ depending on the add-on makers: you may easily see freeware aircraft done to a higher standard than payware add-on.

The thing with civie flight sims is that it's very modular, so individual designers can decide how much to push the envelope. That means you need to do some research before deciding what to buy.

I could easily suggest all A2A products that contain the enhanced accusim module, the FW190s from classics hangar and aerosoft's PBY Catalina. I've flown all of those on various occasions when visiting that buddy of mine and that's how i happened to know enough CEM and then some to transition smoothly to CoD

Yeah, don't write off the A2A's modifications to FSX based on this.

The accusim Spitfire is the best plane I've flown on a computer. Obviously no guns, but I have no doubt that at this point in time, it's the closest I'll ever get to knowing what it's like to fly a Spitfire.
