I have seen the future of combat flight simming...

I have seen the future...

Absolutely mindblowing. [Wait a few mins for the movies to download] Can you imagine combat flight sims of this quality?

The 'Merlin' movie is great - at first you cannot tell AT ALL that this is computer-generated. The Mossie's taillight gives it away in the last sequence. Look at the Shiden-Kai footage; the castor-style tailwheel rotating on touch-down. The 1945 movie is the highlight - can you imaging virtual dogfights like that? [the CGI voices are a bit poor - but otherwise - this is a different planet!]

Anyone know how this technology could end up in your PC, controlled by your joystick? How much processing power would you need to drive that?

J I have seen those small film clips before. I"m glad you post them again. I never get bore of watching them again.

The good news is that gives me hope that in the future a Sim of that quality may be release. All you need is for Microsoft and some Japanese powerful company to joint forces.

If they join forces it will not bee to make a Billion Dollar in profit but for the love of history and if they promote it properly they may brake even. Perhaps even come up with some profit.

You see the younger Generations knows very little about World war two and the sacrifyces that our previous generartion had to endure to ensure that our Freedom had a chance to survive.

With this type of historical Sims you can be use it as a teaching tools while having fun.

You see my youngest Son knows what a P51, Me 109 and a A6M2 Zero looks like and what part in History they represent.

I hope this film clips where done for a reason. I hope they demostrate a new Sim that will include a world wide World war two Sim. That would bee simply fantastic.

This also made me appreciate how much has been done by this dedicated communitty. With a good PC and a good vedio card you can get a pretty quality Sim right now.

This has been only a opinion

Stunning clips, though there is no crosslink to real time simulation in these.
That's slow and time consuming render work.
Render time for a single frame would supposedly be around 20 minutes or so, and you need around 20 per second. Do the math.
