well i think its a valid question but how many games do we get now that are poor but look pretty, there is too much emphasis on graphics.
right now ive said that.....

how do you identify the enemy in a game like Il2 or SHIV if the graphics are sub par.
in simulations i guess it is a complex issue. to some realism comes from looking photo real, to others it comes from looking "realstic" and behaving realisticly. so no i dont care about FSAA, but i do want to see the thing on the horizon and think ! wow battleship!!
i dont want to see something on the horizon and think black dot, black dot, black dot, larger black dot, tree......
