I would say CoD is not an aircraft simulator -as it doesnt try to model all the aircraft systems- but an air battle tactical simulator, as it try to model the fly behabiours of the aircraft in battle. Something like that.

50/50 it is both and none. With the limitation of the PC's but also the progress made by the hardware, the software does better than the first IL2 and less so than the future one! This is not reality and shall never be it.

It's not even a tactical simulator; most of the real tactics can't be used.

Clod is a demo of 3D modelling, nothing else.

It's very valuable if you're interested in screenshots.

What is the difference between "gun" game and sim?

Gun game - you run around with AK-47 and shoot some other person to the head, you take RPG and shoot it at running person, you feel like you are able to shoot with real guns...


Gun sim - not possible...


Same in "flight" world... In flight world you think you can fly with 6-8Gs couple of hours per day. You can make crazy maneuvers without vommiting your guts out. You never black out and you never feel smell of *hit when someone starts to shoot at you in 5+km from behing with 20mm cannons.. So almost everyone "starts" to fight back and turn like crazy... Some people here think they "play" simulator.



And I am not talking about a fact that here most of hardcore "pilots" are over 30. Many of them over 40... How many such old pilots was/are flying with real warplanes?

From a sim I`d expect as few compromises as possible.

I and probably most fellow flight enthusiasts call it a 'SIM'.

My Wife, kids, friends, etc call it a 'game'!

I described CloD to a WW2 BOB vet Spitfire pilot....he said it sounded like a 'good game' (but had never heard of it or seen it).

Why can't they be both? Computer games and simulations? I've been playing flightsims since the mid-'80s and I never had a problem calling them games.
