I have 20/15 vision, I also fly in real the real world. I have an understanding of what looks like "what" and how "far" things generally are.
Yes, the Reality of this is very obvious: You cannot see as much in a computer "game" as you can in reality, However. Because of the Inheient fact that on the "PC" we have pixels, it is a GREAT clarification as to what you ARE able to see here as opposed to the real world.
Said another way, you can infact SEE MORE here on the PC screen when dealing with aircraft in most cases because of the issues of Limited Blending/visiblity/graphics.. A simple Dot is EXTENSIVLY more as shown here in aces high when in contrast to seeing another Aircraft at the same Range in the Real World.
I am ALSO an Artist, A 3d computer modeler, as well as retouch photo editor type. I DEAL with Pixel by Pixel issues almost daily when doing art. I Fully UNDERSTAND what is shown.. and what is not.
Aces High is very "Crisp" in its graphics,.. no sort of blending, or highly intense coloring/shading, nothing;
this allows you to See that "dot" very very far away.. and I.. yes.. I can see the difference as to the relative motion and its effect on Drawing Near, or creating a GAP measured in distance between me and the contact.
I have played at ONLY 1024x768 and I have a very very clear picture of the virtual world around me.
