I just got back from the local Dave & Busters where I wasted a good hour or more playing this game where you fly a Boeing 777 over Tokyo.  IMO, this is how flight sim terrain modeling should be done.  There are a huge number of simple polygon buildings with a few more elaborate skyscrapers, suspension bridges, harbor cranes and other items scattered *densely* throughout the map.  This gives the game a strikingly realistic effect.  Another cool feature is the 2 side monitors giving you a panoramic view!  

I wonder what kind of cpu/3d hardware that rig uses and when we might see something like this in our favorite WW2 flight sim.    HTC & Co, you should check this game out and see if it inspires you to create expansive German industrial cities for the 8th AF to destroy.

In the mean time, I'll be playing this game every day or so until I grow sick of it--never!
