I like when you are flying at 12K + half way between Calais and Manston and you can see from Foulness Island all the way down to Hastings and from the France Belgium border well past Wissant point, It is a beautiful view!

I fell of my chair with amazement when I was flying through a cloud and suffered from ice on my cockpit windows. I was like wtf is that! Kept me smiling untill I landed.

Apart from that: graphics, flight model, the complex engine management, custom belting, the map. This game has huge potential.

There's a smiley face in the ice on the Ju87 right side cockpit glass when that happens.

ships explosions; was flying very low recently, and looking right side i saw ship's masts breaking and projected to the air, very detailed, very immersive

explosions from bombing run; look like lifted from a movie

overall handling of AC; much better than old IL-2 in every aspect, though it could sometimes convey the 'feel' of engine power a bit better, but that's difficult in a sim right?

AC and DM detail; nothing short of amazing (have you seen the landing wheel going down through a holed wing?)

landscape and terrain; for me somewhat short of its potential, needs colour tuning and some haze in the distance (last beta was much closer to ideal as many have stated), shimmering needs to go and the detail area border is too much evident, could be more populated with various models already in the FMB, but still

some random nature of flight; happens frequently to heat up over 100ºc just after take of, or to the make the entire flight under 97ºc; gunnery effects also vary, DM is very detailed

sound; some aspects can improve, like MG fire and engine sounds when broken, but very promising right now

CEM; great overall, while some rough edges like being able to increase/decrease pitch and throttle without breaking the engine; in IL-2 i remember once, just for the sake of experimenting, went into a dive with a Spit MkV, put fine pitch, and gave throttle from 100% to 0% and back to 100% on a very fast sequence, the engine screeched just like a saw and stopped; i don't think that can happen in CLoD yet.

I suggest to make a sticky of this thread, as a presentation of the good things of our sim for the new visitors. The image of CloD would benefit IMO.
