Rise of flight, amazing perfect 3D
Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 1:30 am
I've been testing the WWI era flight simulator Rise of flight since this sunday, as it has a 14 days trial option.
Well, I think this is the first modern graphic engine that I've seen that is '100% anomalies free' after 4 years of 3d gaming!! Everything: shadows, clouds, water reflections, sun glow, smoke, fire effects... all is just perfect.
At first I was seeing bad water reflections. I thought it was a pity but that it was fine because the rest was correct. That's what I'm used to. Something must fail, always. Yesterday I decided to turn off water reflections but then, when I was going to select the option, I thought I could first try full reflections and see what happens (I was using the medium setting). And voila!, perfect water reflections!!
And it's also a great flight simulator. One of those that give the feeling that your virtual flying machine is actually going through air. It's a must have, or at least try, for any who likes simulation.
