There are lots of things, which need to be changed in DCS, but it is not that bad. At least not when compared to old IL2.

Il2 gives you more of a depth than DCS does..look at those mountains

Nice comparison! But I was thinking more along the lines of the later Slovakia and similar maps in IL2 1946 than a direct comparison of the actual area modelled in the original IL2.

Great shots though!

Some mountains are 100-200m too high in IL2 picture.

I never played it the old sim. Wish I had. How about Cliff of Dover? How does the landscape look against the new IL-2?

COD still wins hand down, but we will have to wait until for the finished update.

It is hard to compare because Normandy and Kuban+Georgia have very different landscapes. The former is flat mostly and features lots of patches of various fields, while the last one is mountainous and incredibly cluttered with trees and bushes. In anyway, CoD engine seems more advanced, and has more features for better landscape lightning and details, so Kuban for Cod would probably look better.

P.S: Water is always rendered like it is at sea level in DCS, so if you are flying in mountains and look at lake there, you may feel like someone is doing "F" with your mind.

The LockOn engine, like IL-2, was way ahead of its time and is just now starting to show it age..

You can allways pick 'one' aspect of a sim to make it look good or bad realitive to another.. To do an honest comp one would have to tally up all the features vs features.. But since we are talking about the ground modeling, I think the current DCS stuff falls somewere inbetween IL-2 and CoD.
