Please, I find it tragic that most players can only understand or accept Crysis-grade graphics or ****-like graphics. There is gray between black and white guys.
Look at ComSubSim, look at its models as say with a strait face that you wouldn't like to see them in Dangerous Waters.
Videogames don't have to have bleeding edge graphics, but they don't have to have either a 15 year old graphics engine.
I like a simulation not only for its "educational value" but also because I expect to see nice graphics.
Orbiter is a freeware simulation, based on a DX-7 graphics engine, yes sir DX-7 not DX9 (like DW) and still blows DW out of the sky as far as models, 2d display goes.

If graphics do their appointed task in simulator, that's all what is required. Surely most of you guys never went to army, or there might be somebody ofcourse. What you see for example
starting at 3:42 is our FAF (one of the oldest in the world), F-18 sim in action. Graphics only purpose in sim is to provide realistic enough surroundings, to create efficient training exercise. That's it.

Me myself and I, don't need eyecandy for training, I get it then, when I'm flying.
Hopefully that day will come.

Just checked the latest ComSubSim, and to be honest, not impressed. DW is totally more graphically superior. Of course I could see it's only at the very first stage to be complete. If it is going to be released, let's say in 10 years, i would be happily suprised. Seen so many such, hyped out projects. Without good team working on it, good finance and solid platform to run. I badly believe, it will be once more, unfinished happy little project.
Don't get me wrong. I hope all the best to individuals working with it, but i'm just skeptical and at the same time realistic. In my opinion.

Okay it's safe now, with Bush at home and not at the white house and Obama at the white house and not at home. Lol I'm sorry didn't mean to be political but get DW for God sake forget SC or get both.
