Please do not use this phrase lightly I'm deeply offended.

Being the first sim they do as far as I know, it's a success to me. WOP 2 is coming and I hope they improve the FM and DM and also gets an easy to use mission editor.

S!

What I noted from the video of WoP is that there were NONE of following things we have in CoD..

1) Flickering shadows. Really bothering visual issue with CoD. Shadows solid only when close within the "LOD ring".

2) No LOD changes whatsoever, no popping up buildings etc. Extremely smooth transition of LOD, if any. In CoD the "ring of LOD" around your plane.

3) Smooth performance. Simply no slowdowns, stutter or stops. I had it that way too in the demo over Berlin with a ton going on around me, totally smooth experience.

Otherwise I do not comment WoP or CoD. Both represent something related to WW2 so leaving it there.

A tongue in cheek remark from me there.

Back on topic, even though it's missing some of the cinematic flair and tree placement (lol) of WoP, I think the presentation of CoD in game is fantastic. I doubt WoP could scale to the size of CoD's map and still look as pretty.

Personally I don't actually like the cinematic type filters and post processing they use in WoP, it makes the scene look quite dull and muted at times. Not hating on WoP, I have it and enjoyed it for what it is.

Yes, there are aspects that aren't as good as COD, but regarding the basic terrain representation of the English countryside they really nailed it.

I'd agree with that. Can't believe we've entertained another thread on this subject

People who jump on anyone with critique seem to want this game to be perfect and have to create a dreamworld where it allready is, anyone who threatens that with some reality is uneducated etc....

I have to say, WoP is inferior in any gameplay aspect, but by the looks of it I swear it still looks like a next-generation game while the CoD landscape and stuttering just barely puts it ahead of 1946

I wonder why the Maddox team did not use similar algorithms for their mapping coding, but I think there should have been good reasons for this decision.

WoP landscape looks much more realistic and has smooth rendering during game play exactly BECAUSE of inferior aircraft modelling, mission building and lack of any editable land objects.


Ask yourselfe why RoF for ex, have major stutter issues as soon as the try to load more than 30-40 objects at the same time.

Ask yourselfe why RoF for ex, have, what, 2,5 km visibillity distance (other aircrafts).

Etc, etc.


Im not using CoD as an example because everyone automaticly assumes everything is broken in it.

Surely this is a non-thread in a CLoD forum?
