I think they shoudl replace the character with Rambo because thats what its like when playing the game.

Fighting a helicopter with only a parachute and a hand gun lol

Its a good blast but i wouldnt get it full price. Its a bit unrealistic with the chute ebing able to open even if you jump in the air.

Its probably a good game to have a half hour blast on, but I wouldnt go much more that that.

someone hoped for a simulator from a fun shooter "gta" style game?

Whats Anno like?

Is it in the style of Age of Empires, or is it a city building game?

More a city building game and a trading game, combat is nearly non existent ( or well, in my games anyhow) and I find the combat boring and unnecessarily complicated ( land combat sucks). Age of empires was far more about warfare... Here it's more like erm, Caesar 3 or Pharaoh, pleasing your population, with a bit of erm, Colonization in it.

Some of mine from STALKER: Call of Pripyat.

I'm using AtmosFear and Ultrahigh textures. My rig isn't crap, and I'm still only getting 25FPS with these mods, but it looks so good I don't care

A small company called Earth Simulations is about to release a scenery addition to FSX, The Isles of Scilly. I'm simply at a loss for words on the quality of this scenery, but perhaps these screenshots will show you what I mean:

thought this was a user screenshot thread not a preview thread ?

CoP scenery looks awesome tho needs some AA applied, not so impressed with the character models tho.

Buckster · 26 Mar 2010 at 16:04

absolutely loving this game

Well even with 2x it brings my system to its knees

I seriously need an upgrade, although I can't stomach spending £800 on a PC when the one I have really isn't terrible...

Some shots of the very recently released Concorde X & Isles of Scilly for FSX.

Enjoy the view:

The entire series of 20 shots can be viewed at your leisure right here: http://s264.photobucket.com/albums/ii172/Soya4me/TV Setup/FSX/2010/Concorde X/?albumview=slideshow

My level 8 generic kicker of assery, GRIMBLADE

Buckster · 26 Mar 2010 at 21:48

right - a typical "baddies" chasing me scene - Just Cause 2 style

1st off try heading up for the mountains, hit a thunderstorm - heavy rain, lightning etc, spot a town in distance - head for it, find an airport, take a plane, head up realy high, spot some intersting islands, head down to them (oh so pretty), time to start blowing stuff up

its so so much fun

snowdog · 26 Mar 2010 at 21:57

DAMN that looks nice, the demo made my GTX260 cry a little bit though

.

ps. Lovely FSX shots too.

I haven't expected graphics to improve much, but Stalker call of pripyat, FSX and JC2 come very close if not beating Crysis for visuals in my eyes.

neoboy · 26 Mar 2010 at 22:02

JC2 would look very average without the bloom

snowdog · 26 Mar 2010 at 22:05

I know but I'm more a person that likes lightning, specular maps, glows, explosions, physics, hdr or bloom, etc, than model quality, texture quality, etc... Half life 2 with the cinematic mod doesn't look as amazing in my eyes as in some other peoples eyes, but JC2, especially the air shots bit also in the rain and all the landscape etc looks amazing.

neoboy · 26 Mar 2010 at 22:19

I really hate how most companies now throw in abundance of bloom everywhere to hide what are really graphically average games. They been using that trick on consoles for a while.

Buckster · 26 Mar 2010 at 22:45

if that comment is aimed at Just Cause 2- not sure if you've seen it in motion - but I normally hate bloom but JC2 looks sublime

KnightStalker · 27 Mar 2010 at 02:51

Yea they have done a half decent job with bloom in JC2, screenshots it can look iffy, but get it moving and its done pretty well.
