So Much more Than A Flight Sim?

The level of detail at ground level is just drop dead gorgeous.

So is it that you haven't tried other flight sims and don't know what you're talking about, or are those that think the graphics in this game are simply not good enough in 2011 talking nonsense? It just seems odd how far apart the opinions are here.

I can hand on heart say that I have flown every sim available, and have looked at the ground detail, with no bias say that yes......the ground detail is better than anything else on the market in my oppinion, it is my oppinion and that of some others too, we appreciate others have different oppinions.

I've felt the same when landed the TM in the Buckingham Palace avenue, got short on avenue/runway and finished with th plane broken in a square, but started to look around and I saw monuments, a Book Shop, a Pub... for not to speak when I fly over the Westminster Abbey... This sim has something special on the ground. It looks like ready to be poulated with vehicles and people.

Today's hardware can definitely support population & cars. Graphics cards can certainly handle whatever polygons are thrown at them. All signs point to that physics/FM/DM/AI in CloD are not that resource intensive.

The population modeling doesn't need to be so detailed, but even at GTA3 detail it would provide great immersions.

The problem is Maddox's team is small and financial resources are finite

Someday...

Well... I have FSX with UK 'real scenery' and the latest 'Ground Environment Europe'. I also have Rof ICE edition which runs easy maxed out on my pc.
None of these are as good IMO.

Am I missing something juicier than CoD in this respect?

Very amusing!
Of course i have two original Il2's, Forgotten Battles and four copies of 1946, two unopened. I also have two different versions of the unmentionables on my HD.
Sorry, forgot that bit.

Yea, its sad that having a so good ground detail, we have not a better way to enjoy it.Or use in missions.
I mean that giving us the posibility of leve the plane and walk and get new veicles could made the game experience much wide.
In example ,we could made especiall mission :
-like flying in a tiger moth to another base and chage to and spitfire in the same mission,
-or star in a car in fornt of a pub in a car and you need to run at the airfield in the middle of a german bombrun, and get sour hurricane to scramble.That would increase the sense of being part in a huge world.
A simplified first person view sistem to walk dont should be very hard to do.
In the last serios DCS a10,after you ejected and land, you can walk with your joystick, and a guy made a mod in with you can use any veicle.Only for fun.
I hope we have some of these features in the future.
I would be happy currently with being able to use antialiasing or a good FFB support.
