Title: surf and turf along the beach in 1.05
Post by: Citabria on September 19, 2000, 05:52:00 PM: CFS2 screens seem to do a pretty good job
on the shoreline and coastal waters

with the player controlled carrier groups it
could be quite beneficial to also include a
similar solution to shallow water the way M$
has using that beautiful blue green close
to the shore.

also the rolling curving shoreline is quite
immersive and interesting.

just wondering if HTC will be able to do
somthing similar (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Post by: Stiglr on September 20, 2000, 11:21:00 AM: I gotta say, I like the graphics in MSCFS better than ANY other sim I've seen (with the possible exception of WWIIOL pre-release clips).

The FM may suck, and the flame might be going the wrong way (Bill doesn't care about details when he rules the world), but look-n-feel wise, they've got it going ON!!! Especially the cockpits!!!!! It's more matte than glossy, more gritty than pristine....I LIKE it.

I think the pic is from before that feature was added. (not sure as it's not a film (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif))
