This is a normal post not bad
though when he talks about being outcompeted at the end of the Devonian I was surprised he didn't mention the two big extinction events that brought the period to a close. 50% of all genera on the planet went extinct, so it may simply have been a victim of that same cataclysm rather than being poorly adapted. Dinosaurs weren't outcompeted by mammals, we just evolved to fill in all the vacant biomes and niches once dinosaurs were out of the picture

This is a normal post As with a lot of CG
they couldn't keep their hands off the 'specularity' dial and turned it up too far. Nothing looks dirty. No subsurface scattering.

No depth of field, too much camera shake.

Shadows in the cockpit but not on buildings outside, buildings have quite low quality textures. But then in a flying sim, you don't tend to be close to the buildings for long, and you want to keep the framerate up.

At least they put some distance haze in and the planes have shadows on.

Nice smoke/vapour effects and heat haze. Explosions look pretty but in real life they don't, they only look pretty in movies. In real life they put all the energy into explosive force, not yellow flames. In fact, all the flames could do with some work to make them pay attention to physics.

Looks fun if you like dogfighting.

/sorry, you triggered my special effects criticism subroutines. They do say to never work in an area you want to simply enjoy later in life.

This is a normal post Subsurface scattering isn't a big deal.
In most materials it is relevant at a scale of millimeters to centimeters. Here you are looking at a couple of mm of paint on a metal object that you are looking at from a distance of several m.

Why on earth would you make the effort to simulate insignificant light paths?

It might make sense if you were rendering extreme close ups but really? This is a flight sim.

For the record I spend far too much of my time writing monte carlo renderers that follow insignificant light paths.
