With Global Terrain in FSX they just felt like a bunch of polygons close by. In FSX however, even in the default terrain (same resolution for that part of Europe) it blew me away. I really felt like they were mountains 1500 meters higher than the small town I was over. The haze and textures play a huge part in this. It's one of those "subtle but important" things that make you play a game. I hope SH5 will have the same makeover

Can someone explain the relevance here to Silent Hunter 5?

Arclight · 12-11-09, 02:51 PM

Meh, it started of with a comparison between a DX10 artists impression of FSX and an actual ingame shot from SH5. I'm not sure there really was any relevance to begin with.

Perhaps, to ensure the responses that are undoubtedly sought, the "fake" picture should be substituted with this more relevant picture...being a sub sim with wolfpacks and all (see, they were doing them back in 1983, how hard could it be?

)...

in the beginning i thought it was something serious about comparing grafics but i guess its a joke thread to get people comparing fake images to sh5 trailer

Edit: if there is a point to it i dont get it

I think the original post was about comparing what was promised for DX10 some time ago with what's going to be available in SH5. The FS10 shot shows what can actually be done, and we all hope SH5 will look as good.

That's the relevance as I see it.

JScones · 12-11-09, 06:10 PM

SS, I think you read waaay to much into it.

Makes me wonder though--have we heard OFFICIALLY whether SH5 will be enhanced for DX10 cards (I'm guessing it's a safe bet that it will be DX9)?

THE_MASK · 12-11-09, 06:22 PM

I hope at least DX10 options .

Showoff .

FSX looks crap and runs crap.
FS9+REX+GE etc is much better..

Lets hope SH5 will not be the same.

Um, the second and third screenshot's are the same image, just the third has been converted to black and white. As pointed out previously the first image is not CGI.

Now, as to which image I prefer? as a matter of personal taste?

I like the second image. I generally prefer colour images to black and white, although there are artistic exceptions to that, but those are few and far between.
