CoD vs some other sims that model Kent?

[BlackbusheFlyer]

Sigh, this is a bit of a pointless discussion. Let's be honest this is a computer game designed to spend some time with our imaginations. If you are really bothered by what you perceive as being unrealistic, go to your local airfield, talk to local pilots and ask for a flight alternatively learn to fly and go do the real thing. You can never capture reality in a flight sim it is pie in the sky.

When I was a small boy I used to chase my brothers around with my arms outstretched screaming yadda yadda yadda, in my mind I was flying a spitfire. What has happened? Have we been spoiled enough that we can no longer use our imaginations?

What we have in CoD is far better a scene then I could have imagined as a child and gives enough to let our imaginations do the rest.

The original Red Baron was better than anything I ever expected to see as a child.

He he - I remember ordering Red Baron from Strategy Plus in the UK (RIP - ordered many games from them over the phone, still remember my customer number 7885!) and receiving it by mail to Sweden two weeks later. Opening the Jiffy bag I trembled as I installed it on my 386dx-33 with that beefy 1MB SVGA card... It looked so good I had tears in my eyes A horizon that was faded - oh my god! If we had seen the graphics of CoD then and realized people would whine about them we would have cried

There were several earlier flight sims than RB, but I still consider that game to be the beginning.

Oh, I've played most of them too - be sure Been flight simming since 1982... But I do agree - RB and Aces over Europe etc where really what made me realize that stuff like CoD would be possible in the future

Hayward is a troll, or a moron or both. This is the only shit he does since joining the forum, nearly always completely subjective and the replies are normally limited to 2 sentences and at best 3. He doesnt know shit, which has been proven more than once when he trolled posts about dx versions and optimization. He is very selective in his replies too so expect him to dissapear once someone makes a cogent and thought out argument against him.

The irony, you were bitching a day or two ago about others "whines" and you do EXACTLY the same thing here.

Also an argument from authority unless backed up with specific details is wandering into logical fallacy territory, aka David haywards fantasy land.

That's why I never have to worry when I respond to your posts.

your trolling is getting old - you sitting here more or less by yourself protesting about how much WOP sucks (oh you smart one, you can even make jokes about its name!) and when others disagree all you do is insult them, except you are coming from a mostly subjective POV and you really have nothing to back up what you are saying. Also in those photos if you look into the distance there is a haze btw.

Its actually kind of funny seeing all your sad 1 line retorts. Maybe I wouldnt have to call you on this if you had not harrased me earlier with smart ass comments?

Crimson Skies is better and have better ground

I never played Crimson Skies, but a quick Google search indicates that it had better color and lighting than WoP.
