All that I need now is a computer to run the sim and I don't estimate to be able to get one cheaper than 1100 EUR. So the price for the software is equivalent to the price of a Pizza and the hardware cost is about the cost of a second hand car.
And let me emphasize that: 2000 plus EUR for_the_sole_purpose_of running_CloD!!

Buy second hand parts off eBay ..that's what i do , you don't need new hardware...

Looks great. Hope it's just as smooth with 50+ planes in the sky plus AI. I'ld be as happy as a pig in muck!

I wonder if it was captured footage using some thing like FRAPS or recorded in high def like those early COD videos that caused so much controversy?

Pre-Alpha, work in progress! Really hope it pans out!

both the cockpit and external view of the RoF BS aircraft is pretty low resolution and lacking much of the detail already seen in CoD currently, pretty much confirming the earlier indications that many of the good elements we already have in CoD will not be present in RoF's ww2 BS sim. also looks like they are using painted textures to give an illusion of detail, rather then actually model the detail in 3 dimensions like we have in CoD, you cant even read the dials in RoF's BS for ex

no landscape detail either. having large flat white open fields in a winter scenery without needing to give much scenery detail is an easy way to reduce pc cpu/gpu resource load for a demo video, but it doesnt bode well for what has always been one of the biggest valid complaints against RoF: a lifeless boring world devoid of detail or life.

and even with all those glaring omissions, if you look at the scenery being modeled there is a clear visibility bubble that barely extends 2 or 3 km beyond the plane, with medium distance objects being much fuzzier and blured, and the further horizon being blurred even more. and beyond the immediate 2 - 3 km around you in that video you can also see how bad these medium/far distance objects are shimmering as their demo pc is struggling to display the more distant objects (trees, hedges ?), very obvious in the first 1/3 of the video !

RoF BS demo video looks more like a console game then a high end pc simulator like CoD

first, the current beauty of CoD



compared to the blurry low rez mess of RoF BS

Now lets try that without using a purposely crap screen grab from a low res compressed video source...

lol, Dano, you'r using a wip shot from a 3dsmax model to try and justify what the RoF BS could look like ? sorry dude, your being a bit dishonest in doing so and it clearly aint like that in their BS game

lets stick to real ingame objects for our direct comparison eh

here, i have now taken the RoF BS screenshot directly from their recent HD 720p source video, extracted the screenshot with a frame accurate video editor and used a lossless image format for the extracted frame. cant be more fair then that

take 2:

the glory of CoD in its current beauty:


and the low quality mess from RoF BS (HD 720p source video, extracted the screenshot with a frame accurate video editor and used a lossless image format for the extracted frame)


pretty obvious quality difference

Dano,

btw i am not surprised you'r not using CoD, your pc just aint up to scratch with your relatively low end gfx card (for CoD) you cant actually run it well enough to see it in all its glory (as in the posted screenshot i provided)

the funny part is that the RoF fanatics are happy to pay 500$ for a game of significantly inferior quality where they waste their money on buying pretty little scarfs, and they should instead have spent half that money on pc hardware to buy a decent 2gb or 3 gb vram gfx card so they can run CoD properly and experience it in all its glory

and now their queuing up to buy RoF's latest BS for another 500$, and because they still have a low spec'ed pc that cant run high end 2013-2014 games they will again end up with a much inferior game by definition . to each his own i guess, but i find that rather strange logic
