Nieuport 17 Eye Candy

Came across these beautifully rendered 3D Images of a Nieuport 17 wonder how long before we start seeing graphics like this in sims. Engine detail is amazing.

I'd give it another 3-4 years before we see stuff like that in actual gameplay..

Give it about 3-5 years and a couple more generations in video cards and you will.

very nice pictures, but i doubt we will see this in actual gameplay
anywhere the next 3-5 years.
I can see it in 5years, a standalone graphiccard demo with this
near quality.
But games are a different story, imagine all the hitboxes and
collisions who have to be calculated too. I say a 6 Ghz would
not be enough especialy when rendering more then 5 planes
at the same time.
But i also could be wrong ;)

Depends how technology evolves. Pure speed is not the only factor that determines how fast a game can be run.

We have 64bit processors that can process larger chunks of data when they are given a program designed for that type of processing. We have 1MB L2 Caches, 4 times that of the typical 256KB still found in many machines, which means the CPU has to fetch from memory less often. We have graphics cards that do pixel shading to make realistic reflective surfaces of varying types, plus water that looks like nothing ever seen before.

It all depends on what technology hits the market in the next two years.

Pilot jumped out rather than wait for the wings to fall off.

We won't ever see this level of detail. Why? Time! I'm guessing it took over 1000 man hours to model that beautiful plane.
